Another researcher says Jochim's son, (1024) Hendrick, was a Huguenot. I don't know how these reseachers came up with their conclusions. True, Hamburg at the time was a haven for refugees from all over war-torn Europe. My paternal DNA, on the other hand, fits in well with origins in the Hamburg area, where to this day the name Schomaker is common.

The R1b haplogroup is most common on the Atlantic seaboard of Europe; it is associated with the earliest people in the region, related to the modern Basques. My Shoemaker, haplotype best matches that of people whose ancestors were the ancient Saxons, Norse and other Germanic tribes that absorbed the original inhabitants..
A Dr. Georg Schomaker was the Danish Ambassador to England. He may have been Juergen Schumacher, b. ABT 1551 of Luetau (Lauenburg dist.), Schleswig-Holstein, m. Magdalene Baring.
"With the crisis of the Armada past, Anglo-Danish relations entered into a calmer phase, where the main issues were the incidents of English seizures of Danish ships going to Spain and Portugal. In 1590 Georg Schomaker came to England to complain, and later in the year Christopher Parakins stopped in Denmark on his way to Poland and Lübeck to discuss these problems..."

FamilySearch.com lists many Schomakers in N and NW Germany, the oldest being the family of Jakob Schomaker, b. ABT 1300 in Lueneburg, Hannover, just outside Hamburg. This family continues Jakob >?> Johann b. ABT 1353 > Hartwig > Jakob > Jakob > Jacob b. ABT 1511 Lueneburg d. 22 Apr. 1544. Around 1505, Achim Schomaker was b. in adjoining Petschow, Mecklenburg-Schwerin, and an Ebbe Schomaker (a male) was b. ABT 1556 in N. Holstein, Denmark. In the early 1600s, Protestant Schomakers could be found in Stettin (Pomerania), Dortmund (Westphalia), Toenning and Guelzow (both Schleswig-Holstein); and by the 1640s there were numerous Catholic Schomaker families throughout Westphalia. The latter may have fled there for religious reasons during the Thirty Years War.
Several children of Jochim and Engel (nee Oske/ Ostken, m. 1619 in Hamburg) were baptized in Hamburg, starting with Elisabeth in 1620. No Hein is to be found among them, and the baptism of Anna on 18 Apr. 1624 seems to preclude the possibility of this Jochim being our (2048) Jochem.
My opinion is that (1024) Hendrick/ Hein was descended from the Lueneburg line, and that he was a Lutheran before joining the Dutch Army. Sankt Petrien, or "Pieterkirche", was a Lutheran church, the Reformed Protestants having been driven out of Hamburg in the 1500s.
2050. Jan Jansen Van Breestede
banns 1 Nov. 1647 DRC, New Amsterdam, New York, NY
Sr. (Westph->Esopus)
"Jansen, (2051iii) Jan: Jan Jansen from "Breestede" (Bredstedt) came over to New Netherland with his parents, (2050) Jan Jansen and (2051) Engeltje Jans, and his three sisters, (1025) Elsje, (2051v) Dorothea and (2051iv) Tryntie Jans in 1636. Jan Jansen married, November 1, 1647, in New Amsterdam, (4563vi) Marritje Lucas (Andries), by whom he had six children, who were born and baptized in New Amsterdam. (2051iii_a) Jannetje was baptized July 19, 1648; (2051iii_b) Wouter, December 25, 1650; (2051iii_c) Johannes [sic], October 27, 1652; (2051iii_d) Engel, November 29, 1654; (2051iii_e) Pieter, June 15, 1656; (2051iii_f) Simon, February 10, 1658. (2051iii_a) Jan Jansen was a cooper. Jansen died, it is supposed, about the year 1675. His descendants in later years have been known as Breestede."
"Jans, (2051iv) Tryntie: Tryntie Jans from Bredstedt came to New Netherland with her parents, (2050) Jan Jansen and (2051) Engeltje Jans in 1636. She had two sisters and one brother in New Netherland. On June 3, 1646, she was married in New Amsterdam to (2051iv[1]) Rutger Jacobsen, a resident of Rensselaerswyck (Albany). Rutger Jacobsen came from Schoonderwoert, a village some twelve miles south of Utrecht, Holland. Tryntie's husband was a prominent man in Beverwyck. He was engaged in public life, being a councilor from 1649 to 1651 in Rensselaerswyck. We know very little about Tryntie. Her daughter (2051iv_b) Engel was baptized April 10, 1650; and her daughter Margrietje was married in 1667 to Jan Jansen Bleecker."
"Jansen, (2051v[1]) Volckert: Volckert Jansen, sometimes referred to as Volckert Hans or Volckert Jans Douw was in New Netherland as early as 1638. In the marriage record of the Dutch church in New York, it is said that he was from "Frederickstadt". Whether this means Frederikstadt in Norway or Friedrichstadt in Schleswig-Holstein, is difficult to decide. Volckert Jansen married (2051v) Dorothea Jans van Breestede on April 19, 1650, in New Amsterdam. Volckert Jansen was a trader, brewer, and dealer in real estate.
He died in 1686, his wife Dorothea in 1701. The descendants comprise the Dow family in New York. There were eleven children born to Volckert and Dorothea, four boys and seven girls: Jonas, Andries, Volckertje, Dorothe, Catrina, Engeltje, Hendrick, Elsje, Rebecca, Volckert, Grietje."
a. Lieut. Andries Volkertsen Douw
"(2051v_a) Capt. Andries was master of a ship called 'John' which went between Albany and New York City. In 1703 he was elected a Representative in General Assembly... Lieutenant of foot soldiers in the late 1600's."
"Jans, (2051v) Dorothea: Dorothea Jans from Bredstedt came in company with her brother (2051iii) Jan Jansen and his wife [sic] (2051) Engeltje Jans to New Amsterdam in 1636. She was married to (2051v[1]) Volckert Jansen from "Fredrickstadt" and had several children. She also had two sisters and one brother in New Amsterdam."

"Jans, (2051) Engeltje: Engeltje Jans from Bredstedt in Schleswig came with her husband (2050) Jan Jansen to New Amsterdam about 1636. By him she had the following children: 1) (2051iv) Tryntie, who was married to (2051iv[1]) Rutger Jacobsen Schoonderworth or Van Woert, and whose descendants assumed the name of Rutgers; 2) (2051iii) Jan Jansen van Breestede, who in 1647 married (4563vi) Marritje Lucas (Andries); 3) (2051v) Dorothea Jans van Breestede, who in 1650 was married to (2051v[1]) Volckert Janszen from Frederickstadt, and whose descendants comprise the Dow family of New York; 4) (1025) Elsie Jans van Brestede, who was married three times. After the death of Jan Jansen, Engeltje Jans was married on September 1, 1641, to (2051[2]) Egbert Woutersen of Isselsteyn."
"(2051v[1]) Volkert Jansen Douw and (4563v[1]) Jan Thomaszen Witbeck had been partners in some real estate deals over the years in the Albany area..."

2052. Barent Corneliszoon Slecht of Snelle
For his insolence, the sheriff demanded a fine of 400,000 bricks, which demand was accepted by the council. The council changed their judgement and made the fine 150,000 bricks, or in its place a payment of 105 Carolingian golden coins, plus court costs.
-- SW k. 1 nr. 9 "Culverboeck"
When it took the court (at Woerden) too long to come to a judgement in a case in which (2052) Barent Cornelisz and his son ([1026] Cornelis Barentsen Sleight) were involved, (2052) Barent went to the city hall on Oct.12, 1651, on the assizes day, with a leash around his neck and a dagger by his side, with a large group of people behind him. Before he reached the town hall, he walked into the sheriff and five council members, whom he asked if they had come to a decision, if not, they would get it with his dagger. They tried to explain to him that they were not to that point, but (2052) Barent put his foot down. The council members went back into the town hall with their colleagues and the mayor and they decided to call for him. The mayor asked him what his problem was. (2052) Slecht repeated with much verbosity his demand and threatened again, at which time they ordered him confined. He really didn't like that at all, shouting "I won't go therein, even if I should lose my head because of it!" He called the bureaucrats tyrants and other intolerable words. With much force and difficulty, they finally threw him in the jail.
