Children of: Cornelis Antonissen Van Slyke and Ots-Toch Hertell

Memorable Moments & Stories

  • Other: Cornelis Antonissen Van Slyke Cornelise Antonissen Van Slyke born in Brueckelen, Netherlands in 1604. Brueckelen, Netherlands gave its name to Brueckelen, New Netherlands which later became Brooklyn, New York. Cornelise's Mohawk-French wife Ots-Toch was born abt.1620 at Canajoharie, New York. Cornelis came to the New World in May of 1634, settling at Beverwyck and then Schenectady, New York. Cornelis was known by several names, making research on him somewhat complicated, but not impossible.

    He can be found in the various records of the time as Cornelis Teunissen, Cornelis Antonissen, Cornelis Van Slicht (as he himself signed his contract with Kilean Van Rensellaer in 1634), Cornelis van Breuckelen (from Breuckelen) as he was called by van Rensellaer, Broer (brother) Cornelis as called by the Mohawks and Brodeur (brother) by the Dutch.

    Cornelis Van Slyke's story is of a Dutchman who came to the New World as a carpenter at the age of 30, who became an interpreter for the Mohawk nation, was adopted into the tribe, and who met and married a French-Mohawk woman, Ots-Toch, who never left her native village. Their children, who were all raised at Canajoharie, one of the Mohawk castles or villages, became well-known and respected in the Dutch community. All except one left the village and married Dutch settlers.

Children of: David Uzillé and Marie Magdalina Casier

Memorable Moments & Stories

  • Other: David Uzillé David Uzille was from Calais but his family came originally from near La Moussaye (south of St. Malo) in lower Brittany. He was a farmer, born about 1635. He married Marie Magdalina, the eldest daughter of Philippe Casier from Calais, before 1659.

    North of La Rochelle lies Bretagne or Brittany. Its peninsulas jut into the Atlantic Ocean with forests, heaths, valleys, Druid ruins and ancient castles. In Lower Brittany are those people speaking a variant of the old Celtic language. Brittany was conquered by the Norman dukes and later became an affluent Duchy. Here, Charles of Blois fought with the house of Montfort but it was finally taken by the Crown. One Breton name found here is Glaude Le Maistre (Delameter) whose ancestors were lords of Garlaye in the diocese of Nantes. Near La Moussaye, was the original seat of the family of David Uzille. The Reformed Church at Nantes and La Moussaye was supported by the Le Maistres and Uzilles.

    least some of them seem to have been the followers of Louis du Bois who came to America in 1660 on the Dutch ship, the Gilded Otter. Blanchan and Crispel had arrived a few months earlier and a few of the others came later, settling at Esopus. Du Bois was married in Mannheim, 10 Oct. 1655, to Catherine, daughter of Mathese Blanchan, who was also from Flanders. Du Bois was the son of Chretien du Bois, an inhabitant of Wieres, a hamlet in the district of La Barree near Lille, (then in Flanders), where he was born, 27 Oct. 1627.

    The French name Uzille was corrupted into Gille. One version of the name was Ziele - which may be a step toward Gille. The name was also spelled Seely in later years.

    It is interesting to note the striking similarity between Uzille (and its alternate spelling, Usile) on the one hand, and the place name Ousille-la-Riviere on the other. The Norman Le Roux were lords of Ousille-la-Riviere. Brittany, the home of the Uzilles, is beside Normandy. Perhaps therefore, the name Uzille comes from the place name Ousille.

    David and Marie Uzille's son, Pierre aka Peter, was born in Mannheim in 1660. At about that time, the Protestants in Mannheim became afraid that the Catholic Duke of Lorraine was preparing to invade their land. This may be why the Uzilles and the Casiers went to the Netherlands and took ship on the Gilded Otter, reaching Manhattan in April 1660. Isaac Tayne (Marie Casier's brother) had moved to New Amsterdam before them. Also on board the Gilded Otter was a man named Jacob Leisler - later to become famous as the leader of Leisler's Rebellion.

    The Uzilles and the Casiers were in New Harlem in 1661. This means that David and Marie's daughter, Magdalen, was almost certainly born there, since she was baptized in 1662. Magdalen was the first wife of Abraham La Roux the Immigrant. David Uzille eventually moved to Esopus, New York, which is probably where Abraham married Magdalen. The Casiers remained in New Harlem, i.e. Harlem, New York City. Magdalen's brother Peter Uzille, married Cornelia Damen (my 8th great-grandparents) in 1685 while he was living on Staten Island; later he too, appears to have moved to Esopus. Cornelia was a sister to Lysbeth Damen, who married, Jan/Jean Casier, first-born son of Philippe and Marie (Taine) Casier. Peter and Cornelia had a daughter Sophia baptized in 1691, who married Storm Bradt (my 7th great-grandparents). Another daughter, born circa 1686, Marie Usile, was recorded phonetically in her marriage record as Marie Oeycke and she married Leonard-Tremi aka Jonar Le Roy in 1703. He was also known as Jonas Larroway and was the originator of the Larroway Loyalist line in Ontario. By 1686, David Uzille had left Harlem for Staten Island.

Memorable Moments & Stories

  • Other: Philippe Casier Philippe Casier of Calais France, is first mentioned in the Huguenot settlement of Martinique in the French West Indies. In 1635 a party of old and experienced settlers had gone to Martinique from the neighboring island of St. Christopher, which had been settled by French Huguenots in 1627. Philippe and Marie (Taine) Casier's first two children, Jean and Marie, were born on Martinique. In 1645, Philippe Casier and others left the island and returned to Europe. Casier went first to Calais, then to Sluis, Flanders where his daughter Hester was born. Many French and Walloon exiles from England and from the Dutch seaboard were fleeing to Mannheim, drawn there by assurances of freedom and protection under the government of the Protestant Elector, Charles Lewis who held out strong inducements to the refugees to settle there. Some time after 1652, Philippe and his family moved to Mannheim in the Lower Palatinate of Germany, along with other Huguenots and Walloon Protestants.

    By 1652, David Demarest and others of the Huguenot refugees were found here and joined in forming a French church. Philippe Casier and his family came here, as did Simeon Cornier, Meynard Journee from Mardyck, Flanders, Joost Van Oblinus with his son Joost from Walloon Flanders and Pierre Parmentier also from Walslant, i.e. - Walloon country. All of these men eventually settled at Harlem, New York.

    Casier was not content at Mannheim. His wife's brother, Isaac Tayne, called also Le Pere, the Father, had gone to the New World earlier and had been made a burgher of New Amsterdam. The Casier family, Uzilles included, followed. Returning to the Netherlands, they sailed directly for the Manhattans in the Dutch ship Vergulde Otter or the Gilded Otter , which left the Texel 27 April 1660. This ship also carryied Mattheus Blanchan and others from Mannheim including a band of soldiers, among whom were Jacob Leisler and Joost Kockuyt.

    Philippe Casier and David Uzille and their families settled in Harlem on Manhattan Island in 1660. By the end of 1661, there were over 30 adult males resident in Harlem (or about 30 families). Philippe Casier and wife Marie Taine, united with the church Oct. 2 of that year. On 16 November, he was made a magistrate, but near the close of the ensuing winter, he died.
