     Hendrick Jochem Schoonmaker HENDRICK JOCHEMSE SCHOONMAKER, the progenitor of the
Schoonmaker family in this country, was a native of Hamburg,
Germany. He came to America in the military service of Holland,
and settled at Albany previous to 1655, where, for some time he
kept an inn, the good-will of which he purchased from Steven
Janse Conick. The early records of Albany contain frequent
mention of his name, and show him to have been a man of
considerable social and financial standing. He purchased a
great deal of property; he loaned money to Governor Stuyvesant
'in time of need;' he was active in the military duties
rendered necessary by the dangers of the time, being a
lieutenant 'in the company of his Noble Honor, the
Director-General.' In 1659 this company was ordered to Esopus
(Kingston) to assist the recent settlers in defending
themselves against the Indians. While there it was disbanded,
and Schoonmaker, attracted to the beauty and fertility of the
place, and tempted, doubtless, by the promise of Governor
Stuyvesant to grant lands to the soldiers who settled there,
decided to remain, so he disposed of his Albany property, sent
for his wife and children, and became a resident of the new
community. Here he became as prominent as he had been at
Albany, and his military knowledge and experience were
constantly called into use in the frequent struggles against
the Indians. Though severely wounded, he fought bravely and
well in the Indian outbreak of June 7, 1663, and he led the
Dutch burghers in their mutiny against the exactions of the
English garrison in 1667. He died about 1681. While residing
in Albany, probably about 1657 or `8 he married Elsie, daughter
of Jan Janse van Breestede and Engeltje Janse, and widow of
Adriaen Pieterszen van Alcmaer, by whom she had three children.
She was connected with several prominent Albany families, one
of her sisters, Tryntje, being the wife of Rutger Jacobse van
Schoenderwoert, whose descendants assumed the name Rutgers, and
another sister, Dorothea, having married Volckert Janse Douw.
