Maria Truax (du Trieux) was the eldest daughter of Philippe du Trieux (de
Truy) and his first wife Jacquemyne Noire tt. She was baptized in Leyden,
Holland, on 5 April 1617, and emigrated with her family to New Amsterdam
in 1624. She married firstly Cornelis Volckertsen Viele, possibly before
1640, and definitely by January 1642, when an adoptio n paper mentions her
husband. This paper constitutes an acknowledgment of the paternity of her
daughter Aeltjem, by Pieter Wolphersen van Couwenhoven.
Ma ria Truax was a 'tapper' or tavern keeper, as were both her husbands.
The fac t that she was the one in charge is indicated by the marking of
'The Tavern o f Marie du Trieux' on the 1644 map*. Her second husband, Jan
Peek, was also a n early settler of New Amsterdam, and the town of
Peekskill, NY takes its nam e from him.
Maria was constantly in trouble with the authorities, and was fina lly
banished from New Amsterdam in 1664, for shady business dealings and
ke eping a disorderly tavern. Some of the charges specifically mention her
tappi ng after hours and during prayers, selling spirits without a
license, and sel ling liqour to the Indians. She and her husband were
eventually allowed back into New Amsterdam, but at some point she moved
to Schenectady where her brot her lived. She died there some time before
1684.
