| 20 Settlers arrive at Wiltwyck on the western bank of the North River |
Patroon’s Report:
Eight families have arrived on the western shore of the
North River, at the point where the Esopus Creek joins. A large tract of land
has been obtained from the local indigenous tribe. It is 60 miles north to
Fort Orange and Beverwyck, and 90 miles south to New Amsterdam.
The leader of the colony is Ishaad Baerents, 21, son of
one of the councilmen in New Amsterdam. He is accompanied by his wife, Artha,
20. A council will be formed after the initial tasks at hand are completed to
perform the day-to-day governance of the town in accordance with the regulations
of the New Netherland Province.
Also with the new settlers are:
Evelt (20) & Roberty (19) Aerts; Ernice (20) &
Saraina (20) Chambers, with sister Armine (6) in tow;
Ranson (19) & Reillye (20) Foure, with younger
brother Laver (7); Thadd (19) & Jemmaline (20) Gysbert, with son
Galentice (4);
Callison (20) & Jerryl (20) Heymans; Kings (19)
& Maliya (19) Jacobs, with sister Vanesha (7); Andro (20) & Earthena
(20) Postmael
All 16 adults are fully educated. The 4 children will
enter school when they reach 10 years of age. Schooling usually lasts between
5 and 6 years of age.
The first order of business is to establish crop
fields, a sheep pen, fishing hut, fuel source and then housing. Initial plans
call for a small settlement between the farms and fishing village, with the
rest of the houses to be constructed in the town center area, which will be
just northwest.
