TWELFTH GENERATION


Hendrick HENDRICKS / HENDRIX, HENDRICKSEN etc. / OBE / OBEE

It appears that there may have been several different Hendrick Henricks / Hendricksen etc. in New Amsterdam at times. The Dutch Patronymic naming system, together with a new colony subsequently taken over by the English, gave rise to numerous names for the same individuals, sometimes based on strict patronymic, other times surnames, occupations or place names. Hendrick Obe is distinguished in some of the records as Hendrick Hendricks or Hendricksen, Hendrix etc., i.e. Hendrick the son of Hendrick; sometimes described as the "drummer"; and even as Hendrick Tambour, the Dutch word for drummer. Those records identifying him definitively as the same person as Hendrick / Henry (Hendricksen) Obe or the drummer can obviously be accepted. Of the records that only have Hendrick Hendricksen some are identifiable as Hendrick Obe because follow up records of the same case identify him as Hendrick Obe or the drummer. He starts appearing in the records5f as Henry Obe from 1669. Otherwise caution must be exercised in attributing all the Hendrick Hendricksen records to him unless a link can be established. However having said that out of the 160 instances where the names Hendrick Hendrickson / Obe etc. are recorded in the 7 volumes of The Records of New Amsterdam 1653 to 1674, only 10 cannot be positivly identified as Hendrick Obe. Thus it would seem that any other instances of possible Hendrick Hendricksen's in New York at this period are sparse and possibly fleeting.

There are some baptisms in the Dutch Reformed Church that show the possibility of one or two other Hendricks :-
1643 - A child to Hendrick Hendrickszen, sponsor Isaac Hendrickzen. This could be a child from an earlier marriage of Hendrick Hendrickszen Obe, or not. It preceeds the children by 8 years.
1651, 1652 & 1654 - Three children to Hendrick Hendrickszen, no mother stated.
1657 to 1659 - Three children to Hendrick & Aeltje Claes following nicely in date sequence to the above three. Hendrick named as Hendrick Tambour, Hendrick Obbe & Hendrick Hendrickszen Obee.
1661 - one child to Hendrick Hendrickszen and Aeltie Hendricks, almost certainly Aeltje Claes.
1662 & 1664 - Two children by Hendrick Hendrickszen and Annetje Jans. Is this another person or an alternate name for Aeltje Claus as they nicely follow in date sequence to the other children?
1668, 1674, 1676 & 1679 - Four children to Hendrick Hendrickszen & Wyntie Rycken. This must be another Hendrick as Hendrick Obe's wife Aeltje Claus is still alive in 1686 when she is listed with Hendrick as church members. However what is odd about these is that again they follow in a nice date sequence to the other children.

Other Hendrick Hendricksens, some may or may not be Hendrick Hendricksen Obe :-

  • In 1639 Hendrick Hendrickssen from Doesburch - delivered goods.7
  • In 1644 Hendrick Hendricksen from Stambuit in Friesland aged 20 years. [Council Minutes 6 July 1644]8
  • In 1646 Hendrick Hendrickssen from Doesorgh plaintiff in a slander case [Council Minutes 18 May 1646]8
  • In 1648 Hendrick Hendricksen of Eerlant made a power of attorney to Jacob Parghens to receive moneys due to him by the West India Company at Amsterdam. Eerland was indexed by the editor as Ireland but that makes no sense which the New York Archive translator agrees but they can still cannot identify the place. His name is written variously in this document but is signed Heinrich Heinrichs which is possibly German, and his signature does not match the signature of Hendrick Hendricksen in the Deed of 1654. 6
  • In 1654 Hendrick Hendricksz, tailor [Council Minutes]. This was probably Hendrick Hendricksen Kip, tailor.
  • In 1656 Hendrick Hendricksen, a baker, in the Fort Orange Court Minutes.

Could one of the cases above be indentifying the origins of Hendrick Obe? It is strange that the vast majority of the The Records of New Amsterdam 1653 to 1674 can be identified as Hendrick Hendricksen / Obe, why this disparity if there were these other Hendrick Hendricksens? Perhaps they were only resident in New York for a short while?

Some say he was from Obry in Denmark as per his accepted surname of Obe / Obee as time progressed, however I have yet to see any reference or documentry proof of this and I suspect that it could be a guess by those trying to match up patrynomics and place names.

He married  to (1) Aeltje / Keltie CLAUS.
