DUTCH IMMIGRATION TO AMERICA
From: http://www.netherlands-embassy.org/article.asp?articleref=AR00000380EN:
There are approximately 8 million Americans of Dutch descent in the United States. DutchAmericans are found in every region, with 18% of Dutch-Americans living in the northeastern U.S., 35% living in the the north-central U.S., 26% living in the southern U.S. and 25% living in the western U.S. Although Dutch-Americans can be found in every state they, like other groups, tend to be concentrated in certain states and these concentrations correlate with recognizable immigration patterns over the past 400 years. The majority of Dutch-Americans live in just ten states: California, New York, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Texas, Illinois, Florida, Washington and Iowa.
The Roots of Dutch-Americans and Immigration Patterns
The Dutch first set foot on the North American continent in 1609 when the Dutch East India
Company vessel De Halve Maen, commanded by English Captain Henry Hudson, laid anchor at Sandy Hook and then sailed up the present-day Hudson River. Captain Hudson was searching for a shorter route to Asia and the East Indies, and after approaching what is now Albany and finding the river becoming more narrow and not at all salty, Hudson returned to England. Dutch traders, however, were not daunted and began to exploit the riches of this wild country. In 1614 the Netherlands States-General granted a trading charter to 13 Dutch businessmen, who in turn established themselves in Fort Nassau, the second European settlement in America.
Fort Nassau became "merchant-central," and ten years later the burgeoning trade from New Netherland--as the area came to be called--attracted the interest of the newly-established and well-capitalized Dutch West India Company. The Company was granted a monopoly over trade in America by the States-General and began to encourage Dutch citizens to settle in New Netherland. In 1625, Fort Amsterdam was constructed on Manhattan Island and the town of New Amsterdam sprung-up around it. New Amsterdam, of course, later became New York City.
One year later, the Governor of New Netherland bought Manhattan Island from the Indians for $24. Dutch emigration to New Netherland during this period was approximately 1500, with many living on Manhattan or Long Island. Many boroughs and places in New York--Brooklyn, Wall Street, Long Island, the Bowery, The Bronx, Coney Island, Harlem--trace their names from this Dutch period. For more information about the Dutch colonial period in North America, visit the New Netherland Project at http://www.nnp.org/.
In the mid-1600s, the Netherlands chief maritime and trading rival was England. During the Second Anglo-Dutch War, an English fleet appeared off the coast of New Amsterdam in 1664, and Peter Stuyvesant was forced to surrender the fort and the settlement to England. Although New York remained in English hands until George Washington took it from the British during the American Revolutionary War, the Dutch remained and prospered. By 1664, Dutch emigration to America totalled approximately 6000, and an equal number of Dutch came to America during the 18th century.
Paulus Dirckse(Dirckszen) was born son of Dirck Hoff in Luttenborg, Netherlands about 1620. Paulus married Geertie Williamse (b. 1622 Netherlands) and issued son Dirrick Pauluszen (b. 1649 Netherlands) and daughter Elisabeth Paulusz (b. 1650 Netherlands and later married Volkert Hendricks Briers 6-41695 in Brooklyn ). Paulus,Geertie,Dirrick and Elisabeth embarked Amsterdam 6-30-1650 sailing on the New Netherlands ship - Fortune - , disembarking eleven days short of six months later at New Amsterdam 12-19-1650.
Paulus settled under aegis of Baron van der Capelle , then owner of Staten Island. After Geertie died in New Amsterdam about 1653 , Paulus married Jannetje Jannse ( b. circa 1630 Almelo,Netherlands ) and issued one daughter. Sometime after the 9/15--18/1655 Indian massacre of the Staten Island settlers, Paulus relocated to Fort Orange. Before Christmas 1662 Paulus had again relocated , to Brooklyn ( Kings County) , and joined the Dutch Reformed Church there. Paulus died in 1692 in Brooklyn.

Derrick Pauliszen (Hoff) was the son of Paulus Dirckszen (Hoff) and his first wife Geertje Willems, who had immigrated to New Netherland circa 1651. He married 2nd to Jannetje Jans, and died before 24 May 1692.
Long Island Source Records - Will of Paulus Dirckse and Jannetje Janse, his wife, at Bedford of
Breucklyn in Kings County. Dated March 28, 1688. Revokes all former wills and codicils. To Dirck Paulus, eldest son, by former wife Geertie Williamse, one piece of eight. To Dirck Pauluson and also to children of Lysbeth Paylyssen 25 £. Executor not named. Witnesses: Thomas Lamberson, John Gertse Dorlandt. Proved May 24th, 1692. (Recorded in Liber. I of Conveyances, page 278).
Dirrick Pauluszen Hoff married Aeghie Teunnise Covert (b. Heemstede,Netherlands) sometime after 1664 and issued five sons, including one set of twins. After Aeghie's death , Dirrick married Sarah Williamse Yeats (b. 1660 Flushing, Queens County). They lived in Jamacia, Queens Co. and had five children Willem (b. 4-20-1685) , Dirck (b. 8-29-1686) ,
Sara (b. 4-27-1688) , Thomas (b. 4-6-1690) , and Jan (b. 4-27-1688). Dirrick and wife Sarah then relocated to Flushing, Queens Co. about 1694 and had sons Charles (b. 1697 ) and Joesph (b. 1700) . About 1702 Dirrick and Sarah settled Maidenhead ( Lawrencevile), New Jersey , and Derrick selected his grandfathers last name - Hoff - since it then was required by England that all Dutch in America adopt England’s system of Surname. Dirrickwas one of the original settlers at Maidenhead and there issued two additional children by Sarah - Benjamin (b. 1702) and Mary (b. 1704). Two years before death in 1730 at Maidenhead Dirrick purchased " Cherry Grove", which property today is the estate of Dr. Werner Lambert , owner of Lambert Pharmaceuticals ( Listerine ).

Paulus Dirckszen Hoff was married to Gertie Jannetse Willemse. Their only known child was Derrick Paulsuszen Hoff. Derrick was born about 1665, in Long Island, NY, and was married to Sarah Yeats. They had a son named William Hoff. William was born about 1690 and married to Elizabeth (surname unknown). They had a son named Leonard Huff. He also married an Elizabeth (surname unknown). They had three sons, Joseph (born 1750 in Botetourt County, VA), John (born 1758) and Peter. Evidently the men liked the name Elizabeth because Joseph married a lady by that name also. Their children were:
John Huff born 28 December 1786, Cosby Creek, Cocke County, TN, married Nancy Catherine Allen, born 10 October 1793, VA, died 7 June 1869. John died 17 April 1852, Cocke County, TN. He is buried in Huff Cemetery, English Creek, Cocke County, TN. Their children were:
Peter Huff born in Cocke County, TN, married Elizabeth Black, born 12 June 1817, North Carolina, died 30 November 1884, Cocke County. Peter died 17 November 1867 in Cocke County, TN. They had the following children:
William Jefferson Huff (pictured below) born in Gilmer county, GA, married Melvina Murrell, born 12 August 1847,
(daughter of John Murrell, Jr. and Cynthia) died 16 March 1921, Sevier County, TN. William died
17 February 1936 in Sevier county. Their children were:
Many of the Huffs in Cocke County today descend from these 11 children.
Joseph (Hoff) Huff (b. 1700 , Queens Co. , N.Y.) son of Dirrick Pauluszen, traveled north in New Jersey 20 - 22 miles to Somerset County. He obtained land in vicinity of Neshanic Station and on the Raritan River , an area where people of Dutch decent were particularly numerous. There Joseph married Catherine Craig who is indicated to have been 40 years his junior. Catherine gave birth 6-16-1759 to thier only known son Moses. Joseph was a well-todo blacksmith and died in the state 12-4-1769. Catherine legally denounced " all right and title - she had "to the administration of the estate " of Joseph and thereby did " refuse to take upon" herself " the trouble" She signed such document 12-6-1769 in the presence of her father Moses Craig and James Graham. Cathrine presumably did not remarry, as it is indicated she and son Moses lived with her father Moses Craig and his other four children , all six being mentioned in his will . It is recorded that the next younger brother of Catherine also was named Moses.
Moses ( Huff) Hough Born June 16 1759in Somerset Co. N.J.
Moses volunteered for Revolutionary War Service in the New Jersey Militia and marched through New Jerset and parts of New York. He was at the Battle of Monmouth under Col.Hunt , Maj. Lynn and Capt. William Logan. Moses at age 73 particularly remembered 6/28/1778 during the Battle of Monmouth as exceeding hot and that he was marched to Hightstown the same evening after the battle. He served in a regiment under Gen. Washington in one unit on the front near the British lines in and about Brunswick , Morristown , Hackensack , South Amboy , Woodbridge , Newark and Monmouth . Moses was not mustered out of service for nearly two years after he entered , spending the latter part of his service irregularly ( sometimes on duty and sometimes at home but always under the command of his officers ) , and never recieved a written discharge.
Moses married Elizabeth Handley April 16th 1780 in Burlington Co. New Jersey. About 1782 they traveled southwest 160 - 180 miles through Maryland , crossing the Potomac River into Virginia and the vicinity of Leesburg ( Loudoun Co. seat ) . Here his oldest child Moses C. was born about 1783 , here also believed Moses served his blacksmith apprenticeship.
That Moses began working independently as a blacksmith in 1787 or early 88' is indicated by Leesburg records of 6-10-1788 , 4-15-1789 , 4-14-1790 and 7-11-1791. Meanwhile Moses and Elizabeth had 3 more childern William , Joseph , and John.
It was during this 1782- 91' period in Leesburg when the spelling of Moses' surname changed from Huff to Hough , to the following circumstances. Charles Binns , county recorder for nearly fifty years commencing about 1755 , was friend of very wealthy John Hough Jr. ( from the Bucks County ,
Pennsylvania Hough's and very close friend of George Washington ). The name John Hough Jr. appears
on about half of the deeds from 1757 to 1797. It is probable that Charles Binns spelled Mose's pronunciation of the name only as he knew it HOUGH. Whatever the reason , Moses ( Huff ) Hough probably never really knew the difference since he could neither read nor write at that time .
During 1792 Moses led his wife and four very young sons west 120 to 140 miles, still in Loudoun Co , into the mountains. He obtained land presumably a land grant, extending from mouth of the west fork of Monogahela to Simpsons Creek , - this location today may be in W.V. or perhaps barely in Penn. 5 or 8 miles north of Morganstown , W.V.
During 1794 - 95' Moses , Elizabeth and four young sons traveled by flatboat roughly 1200 miles down the Monogahela and the Ohio Rivers to Louisville, Kentucky . Early in thier journey , at Ft. Pitt , Moses befriended teenager Aaron Huff. Aaron was son of a John Huff ( Kent Co. Md.) who was killed by indians about 1785 near Ft. Pitt. Aarons father had come from England to Virginia in 1764 , settling in Maryland about 1770. From Louisville , Moses and family ( with Aaron ) traveled east 65 miles on the Louisville - Lexington Trail through Boones settlement ( near Shelbyville ) , reaching forks of Elkhorn in 1795. It is presumed Moses went to forks of Elkhorn for reasons of its location proximate to Frankfort , the state capitol. Here their fifth son Robert was born in 1796 . Moses was a member of the Forks of Elkhorn church in1801 . Sometime in 1803 - 05' Moses and family retraced twenty four miles of their earlier steps on the Louisville - Lexington trail , traveling west to Boones settlement . Here it is probable they headed SSW about 20 miles following Clear Creek , and Brashears Creek to its point of confluence with the Salt River. Moses then traveled 6-10 miles west on the wide and fertile flood plain of the Salt River and there settled and commenced obtaining Bullitt Co. land . Eventually , Moses's holdings comprised acreage on and between Hough Run , Little Dutchmans Creek and Goose Creek. In 1824 a portion of Bullitt Co. was taken , together with parts of Jefferson and Nelson Co. to form Spencer Co.
By this action the Bullitt/ Spencer boundary ( legally indefinite today ) cut Moses's land holdings in the NNE- SSW direction , leaving Hough Run , the upper two thirds of Little Dutchmans Creel , and two very short sections of lowermost Dutchmans Creek in Bullitt Co.
Moses wife Elizabeth died Oct, 1834 Moses gave testimony 9-10-1832 in Taylorsville in open court regarding his service in the war against England. Pleasant Paris tetified concering Moses ' credibility , Moses was granted 3-4-1834 a total of $60 , $25 per anum retroactive to 9-4-1833 and ending 3-4-1836 . Although the date of Moses death is not known , he died in Spencer Co. probably under the care of his son John on land situated along Goosemans Creek , Dutchmans Creek on or just before 1847.

SAMUEL5 HUFF (LEONARD4, WILLIAM3 HOFF, DERRICK PAULSUSZEN2, PAULUS
DIRCKSZEN1) was born Abt. 1750 in Middletown, NJ, and died Abt. 1815 in Tennessee. He married SARAH HIX March 03, 1773 in Bedford Co. VA, daughter of JOHN HIX.
Notes for SAMUEL HUFF:
1764 Captain William Christianson's Company of Militia from Bedford Co. VA, he is listed as a private.
1772 Fought with Lord Dunsmore at the Battle of Point Pleasant
September, 1774 Captain John Lewis's Company of Volunteers from Botetourt Co. VA at Point Pleasant on the Ohio River he is listed as a private.
1781 Captain Thomas Hederson's company of Militia from Martinsville, VA . Fought in the Battle of Guilford Co. NC Courthouse. His name appears on several Henry County VA records during this time.
Family tradition holds that Samuel, Sr. was from PA originally.
They may have likely spent some time in Georgia after they left Greenbriar Co. The first record of Samuel & Sarah in TN is 13 Dec 1794 where they appear in the minutes of the Big Pigeon Baptist Church as joining. They made application for letter of dismissal on 1 Dec 1798. Another church entry is 1 Jun 1799 about "...what is to be done with Rachel Huff later Mrs. Samuel Hays for leaving the Church without a letter and marrying a man which is reported has another wife living."
By 16 Dec 1800 the Smith Co. TN court minutes show the following entry "Ordered that Samuel Huff Sr. be allowed Letters of Administration to administer on the Estate of John Lee who gave bond and security and qualified according to law." This would seem to confirm that no
bigamy was involved, since Rachel's dad administered the estate and had John Lee a wife elsewhere, the marriage to Rachel would not have been valid.
17 Dec 1800 Smith Co. Court Minutes "Ordered that John Overturf, John Black, Samuel Huff, Abraham Denton & Stephen Copeland be appointed a jury to view mark & lay off a road from where the Kentucky road intersects line creed the nearest aand best way to Captain Stephen Copeland's on Roaring River and report the same to our ensuring court." (note: ABe Denton was the father of Elijah Denton b. 20 Dec. 1782 who married Samuel Huff Sr's daughter Sarah Huff) on 16 Jun 1801 Smith Co. court minutes record that Samuel Huff returned invetory on the estate of John Lee.

Cause of death
1950 , Trammel, VA
Arnold Harold Huff died in a mining accident. My dad, Gary Kenneth Huff, was 4 years old at the time but still remembers when they brought the casket into the house for the viewing. They couldn't fit it through the doorway, so they had to bring it through the window. The house was in Trammel, Virginia. According to the story, Arnold died when he was crushed by a boulder that fell on him when he went back into the mine to rescue a fellow miner.
