Was court messenger of New Amsterdam, appointed 1638 dy
Director-General Kieft. Probably came came to New Amsterdam in 1624.
(He a nd his wife applied for transfer from their church in Leyden to "the
Indies" o n 9 March 1624). Probably sailed on the New Netherland.
Information taken fro m the Internet April 1997. Source listed as
"House of Truax," NYGBR July, Oct ober 1926, January 1927.
Philippe and Susanna came to America aboard the "New Netherland" in 1624.
He was appointed by New York's Governor Kiefft in 1638 as a court
messenger.
Phillipe was killed by indians - The House of Truax.
He was married in the Walloon Church in Amsterdam (#1), and in the
Walloon
Chu rch in Leiden (#2)
The family name appears to be derived from "Trieu", a villa ge in
Belgium.
Philippe is shown as a widower at the time of his marriage to Susanne.
It is reported that the family came to America in 1624, but that da te
may not be correct. Philippe was appointed "Court messenger at New
Amste rdam" by Gov. Kieft upon the Gov's arrival at Manhattan in 1638.
Referred to as Court Messenger "Philip de Truy". Philippe seems to have
been killed by In dians, probably along with his son. He had sold a house
and lot in town - in Manhattan, near today's South St. Seaport - but I
haven't found any reference to another house. Certainly his work as court
messenger (sheriff) had him tr avel to all inhabited parts of New
Netherland, so he would have known the who le
territory of the colony very well.
Official records show the almost consta nt strife between the settlers and
the Indians, without recording all the nam es of those murdered, although
some are identified. These page includes many notes on the times, as well
as specific records for Philippe.
Some historica l notes:
In 1643, Indians destroyed all bouweries but 3 on Manhattan and 2 on
Staten Island, and killed people and cattle. In 1652, 4 persons on
Manhatta n were murdered by Indians; in 1653, 3 were murdered on Staten
Island. "In 16 55, Indians set fire to all
the bouweries on the Manhattans around New Amsterd am, and afterwards on
Staten Island, and killed all that didn't escape. In le ss than 3 days,
40+ colonists were killed and about 100 women and children we re taken
prisoner. Bouweries and some plantations were burnt." There is a
" Remonstrance 31 Oct 1655 of the Dir General & Council of New Netherlands
to t he States General exposing the bad conduct of the barbarous Indians
towards t he Dutch" which reports many incidents. For a time, individuals
were forbidde n from wandering outside the settlements; those killed
almost being blamed fo r their own deaths, as the situation was so
hostile. So traveling or doing a bit of scouting for promising new land
was very risky in these years.
