APPRECIAATE ANY HELP YOU MIGHT GIVE. GOD BLESS, NORAH HASTINGS COLLINS -----Original Message----- From: E Johnson Sent: Sunday, June 24, 2012 1:56 PM To: LOWER-DELMARVA-ROOTS@rootsweb.com Subject: [LDR] Dutch ancestors of Westerhouse and Waggoman Hello & happy weekend. I have new information ready for descendents of Westerhouse and Waggoman, two related Dutch families who settled in Eastern Shore Virginia and Maryland. Dutch merchants had been trading for Virginia tobacco since before the 1630's. By the 1650's, a small but well-connected community of Dutch skppers, merchants and manufacturers was living among the English residents of Virginia and Maryland. English citizenship had become crucial for the continued export of products (such as tobacco) into Holland, due to the trade embargo imposed during the Anglo-Dutch wars. Several of these Dutch families were originally from Amsterdam. I have recently finished a research project in the archives of Amsterdam, Netherlands, which makes it possible to identify ancestors of Adriaen Westerhouse, who died in 1705 in Northampton County, Virginia, a son of William Westerhouse and Margaretha van Hoochstraten. William Westerhouse is not my ancestor; his wife Margaretha van Hoochstraten is, through her daughter Weyntje Schyn, a child of her first husband, Lourens Schyn, who died in Amsterdam in November, 1638. Weyntje Schyn married Henry Wageman (Waggoman) in 1660 in Hungar's Parish, Northampton County, Virginia. In Amsterdam, I have also found a few generations back of the Dutch ancestors of Henry Wageman (Waggoman), my ancestor. Reports on both sets of families (Westerhouse and Waggoman) can be found on my website, where these reports contain the details, and are annotated with citations to baptism and marriage records & etc. I am not posting the full reports here because the information on the families, plus the notes, would make very long messages to LDR. I hope Westerhouse and Waggoman descendents will find this useful and helpful.To see the articles, go to: Westerhouse: http://17thcenturyhollanders.pbworks.com/w/page/54776247/William%20Westerhouse Waggoman: http://17thcenturyhollanders.pbworks.com/w/page/54777217/Henry%20Waggoman%20of%20Amsterdam%20and%20Virginia I make no profit from visits to this website. It's simply neater to post my reports on the website, where the formatting remains intact. If anyone needs hard copy of the Amsterdam records, feel free to PM me iris.gates AT gmail.com. If there are any questions, I can answer them here or in PM. Best wishes, Liz J *************************************** QUESTIONS about POSTING GUIDELINES, SUBSCRIBING or UNSUBSCRIBING?

HI NORA, I AM SORRY, BUT I DON'T HAVE RECORD OF DESCENDENTS OF WILLIAM WESTERHOUSE THIS FAR FORWARD IN TIME. I CHECKED MY COLLECTION OF WILLS ABSTRACTS FOR WORCESTER AND SOMERSET COUNTIES --THESE COVER UP UNTIL AROUND 1800 OR SO. BUT I FOUND NO WESTERHOUSE WILL. YOUR SALLY PROBABLY CAME FROM A FAMILY STILL DOWN IN NORTHAMTON COUNTY, VA, IN NASSAWADOX. HERE ARE THE TAXPAYERS FOR THE WESTERHOUSE PROPERTY AT NASSAWADOX. ONE CAN SORT-OF ESTIMATE A LINE OF DESCENT HAPPENING: WILLIAM WESTERHOUSE I N75 1661 ADRIAN WESTERHOUSE I N75 1684 ELIZABETH WESTERHOUSE N75 1684 WILLIAM WESTERHOUSE II N75 1705 THOMAS WESTERHOUSE I N75 1720 WILLIAM WESTERHOUSE III N75 1720 BARBARY WESTERHOUSE N75 1735 SARAH WESTERHOUSE N75 1735 THOMAS WESTERHOUSE II N75 1736 SANTECA WESTERHOUSE N75 1736 LEAH MAPP WESTERHOUSE N75 1760 REUBEN WESTERHOUSE N75 1767 SARAH WESTERHOUSE N75 1769 ANN WESTERHOUSE N75 1772 ANN JACOB WESTERHOUSE N75 1772 EUPHEMIA WESTERHOUSE N75 1788 REUBEN WESTERHOUSE N75 1788 THERE ARE SEVERAL WESTERHOUSE MARRIAGES IN THIS BOOK HERE: http://books.google.com/books?id=UoPIch0Sr60C& AND THIS ONE (EXCEPT THE PAGES RUN SIDEWAYS), BUT LOOK ON P. 445: http://books.google.com/books?id=hICIP8iheYEC& I GUESS (IMAGINE) THAT YOUR ANCESTOR OF THOMAS MIGHT POSSIBLY BE THE WILLIAM WHO MARRIED MARGARET WHITE, A WIDOW, ON JULY 23, 1745. THAT WOULD FIT WITH YOUR TIME FRAME, IF HE HAD A SON THOMAS BORN BEFORE 1750, WHO THEN HAD A DAUGHTER SALLY. IF. ANYWAY, I HAVE ONLY A LIST OF THE CHILDREN OF ADRIAEN WESTERHOUSE, SON OF THE ORIGINAL WILLIAM. ONE OF THOSE HAS TO BE YOUR ANCESTOR. ADRIAEN WAS BORN IN 1645, SO YOU HAVE ONLY A FEW GENERATIONS TO GO BEFORE YOU GET TO YOURS. I THINK YOU NEED NOTTINGHAM'S WILLS AND ADMINISTRATIONS OF ACCOMACK COUNTY, AND I THINK YOU SHOULD CHECK JAMES HANDLEY MARSHALL, ABSTRACTS OF THE WILLS AND ADMINISTRATIONS OF. NORTHAMPTON CO., VA. I HOPE YOU FIND YOUR CONNECTION. BEST WISHES, LIZ J On 25 June 2012 13:13, <lenorah123@comcast.net> wrote: > HILIZ, > I AM A DESCENDANT OF SALLY WESTERHOUSE BORN ABT 1771.
