  LifeSketch	Jacob Jansz Gardenier, aka Jacob Jansz Flodder, [1] was of French Huguenot ancestry. He left Kampen, Holland, in September 1637 on “Den Harinck” (“The Herring”), and was in New Amsterdam on March 28, 1638 [1]. He soon returned to Holland to see the Patroon [head of the manor, or colony], Killiaen Van Rensselaer, for permission to engage in carpentry work in the Rensselaerswyck Colony. Jacob returned in 1638, going to Albany. He was the possessor of a saw and grist mill at Greenbush in 1647, and in 1654, leased a saw mill on the Fifth Creek for eight years starting May 18, 1654. In 1666, with Capt. John Baker Baker-27792, he purchased a large tract of land near Albany from the Indians, paying them one blanket, one ax, three hoes, two boxes of lead, three handfuls of powder, one knife and one kettle. [1] Jacob Gardinier died in 1688. He married first abt, 1638 Josina, a widow, who was buried in Albany, January 28, 1669. They had a son Jan Jacobse Gardinier, born about 1648.[2] His second wife, Barentje Stra(e)tsman, was the widow of Hans Conradse Becker.[3] Birth Born 1616 in Kampen Overijssal Holland ABT 1630 Emigration 25 SEP 1636 Fort Orange (Albany, NY) by 7th April 1637 came to America on board the \"Rinselaers Wijck\" arriving America of 4th march 1637 Immigration 1638 the first Gardenier in the Dutch colony[4] Marriage Husband of Josina (Unknown) Gardenier — married 1646 Family & Life Hendrick Gardenier and Andries Gardenier were brothers. He sailed on the \"den Harinck\" which reached New Amsterdam (New York City) on March 28, 1638. He was among the first Dutch settlers to live at Fort Orange in the colony of Beverwyck, later Albany, in New Netherland. He immigrated only 29 years after Henry Hudson went up the river and landed the first Dutchman in 1609. About May 1642 he married Josyna.[5] \"Jacob was a carpenter or millwright by trade and the knecht (helper or servant) of Claes Jansz Ruyter (Claes de Ruijter), a carpenter from Naerden, province of North Halland. Both came to the new colony together. Jacob was apparently indebted to Ruyter either as an apprentice or as payment for passage. In the spring of 1642, Jacob returned to Amsterdam and applied to the first Patroon, Killian Van Rensselaer for permission to do carpenter work directly for him in the colony where skilled tradesmen were needed. On June 6 of the same year, and with his application granted, he booked passage aboard the ship de Houttyn,...The ship arrived at Rensselaerswyck, August 11, 1642.\"[6] In 1647 he leased a saw and grist mill at Greenbush at an annual rental of 125 guilders (New Netherland Reg., 1:4). He outfitted vessels sailing on the Hudson River (H.S. Yr. Bk., 1900, p. 171). He was at Albany 1654-1662 and about 1667 settled at Kinderhook (now in Columbia County) on a patent granted to him and Capt. John Baker. He died possessed of a considerable estate. (New Netherland Reg., 1:4). Jacob Janse Gardenier in 1666 with Capt. John Baker Baker-27792 purchased a large tract of land near Fort Albany from the Indians. This purchase is shown in Albany land Patents as March 18, 1666. The price shown was \"one blanket, one axe, three hoes, two bars of lead, three handfuls of powder, one knife, and one kettle.\" Shortly thereafter, Governor Nicolls issued to captain John Baker and Jacob Jansen Flodder a patent for the land purchase. This land patent which was dated April 15, 1667 (Land Patents, vol. 2, p. 244) became known as the Third Patent and led to long-continued court litigation partly because of the conflict of its described boundaries as written in a later patent, known as the fourth Patent. [7] Regarding the land patent granted to Captain John Baker Baker-27792 and Jacob Jansen Flodder in 1667. Two years after the patent was issued the third time, Flodder was assigned Baker\'s interest. Flodder died about 1688. The following is contained in Book V. of Deeds of Albany County, page 212) located in the Albany County Court House at Albany: To all Christian people to Whom this prsent writing Shall Come Jacob Gardanier Edward Whielaor Jesina Whielaor John Woodcok Arejantie Woodcoks Obedia Cooper & Cornelia Cooper Children and heires of Jan Garanier Late of Kinderhook in the County of Albany in the province of new york Deceased Sends Greeting Know Yee that for Divers Reafons and Considerations us hereunto moving have given granted Demifed and Released and by these prsents doth fully freely and absolutely give grant Demife and Release unto Jan Garanier Sonn & one of the heires of the Said Deceased all that parcell of Land and woodland Scituate Lying & bieng at Kinderhooke aforesaid being the Lott no. 4.

(Court Minutes of Albany, Rensselaerwyck, and Schenectady.)[10] On 1674 he married Barentje Stra(e)tsman.[11] At the time of his death, he owned about 1000 acres of land.[12] Death Died 1686 in New York NY.

The other sponsor was Josyna Gardenier Wheeler's brother-in-law Obadiah Cooper, who also happened to be the baptismal sponsor for Samuel Wheeler in 1713. Last Changed: October 19, 2025 G Glenn Wheeler all 14 known children clearly linked to parents via source church records. There are documented Church Baptismal Records for 13 chidlren of the family. They are Jan, Sara, Breechje, Marietje, Thomas, Jacob, Evert, Helena, Henrik, Dorthea, Jackemyntie, and Elizabeth. Robert is the only child that does not have a baptism but his marriage record states he is a son of Evert Weiler of Kinderhook. MANY MANY PEOPLE have added another son named John burn about 1715 as another son. THIS IS INCORRECT. Elizabeth Wheeler daughter of Edward/Evert and Josyna Gardenier marries a man name John Weiler. Thus confusing many people, as the baptismal records of the couple clearly shows a link to the Evert & Josyna Wheeler Family. The link is through the daughter Elizabeth Wheeler not the man JOHN WEILER listed as being born in 1715. If you look at the baptismal records for Kinderhook reformed chuch in 1749 and 1752 (the Chronolgical baptismal book, and not the alphabetical index in family search), you will see that in 1749 & 1752 the mother’s maiden names are listed - which clearly shows John Wheeler and wife Elizabeth Wheeler.

Can you young people visualize the trip? A yoke of oxen, and six weeks on the road from Grafton, NY to Hebron, Potter Co, PA-- a day's trip, or a little more, with your automobile. Imagine them reaching here and choosing a spot, cutting down trees, and clearing a space large enough, at first, to build a log cabin. Then the real struggle began, to keep the wolf from the door in more than one sense of the word. I've listened to my mother tell how, as a child, she had sat on the door-step and listened to the howling of the wolves close by. The future can never bring anything to us that we should be more proud of than our brave old ancestors, "heroes and heroines." Mother dear (Mary Angeline Brock Dingman) was only six monhs old when she made that trip. But I fancy she was as happy as any of the weary travelers. Often it was hard to find a place to stop overnight. Grandma said once, they stopped at an inn, but everything was so mysterious and queer, they were afraid to stay after resting the stock. (I think they brought a cow and a calf.) Then they started on the road again. How worn and weary they must have been before they reached Potter Co! ___________________
