  • Notes 


    • After his escape from the Jesuits, Hendrick returned to New Amsterdam where he was a sailor for a time and, with his brother Pierre, visited his family in Europe. "They must have been in Copenhagen, because Hendrick's name appears in the public records as 'HENDRICK MARTENSEN VANCOPENHAGEN". He served as a soldier at Fort Orange and Wiltwyck. He went to Quebec as an interpreter for the Mohawk Indians and became a member of their tribe. He married a daughter of their cheif November 20, 1658. They had one son born in 1659 named Robert Richard Wiltsee. Some time later Hendrick left his wife and son with the tribe and returned to New Amsterdam where he met and married Margaret Meyers. She was born at Fort Margaret, the Dutch Colony in Brazil. When her father died, she and her mother moved to Newtown, Long Island.
