Van Hoesen

Spelled variously, the story of the Van Hoesen family in early Albany begins with the arrival of Jan Franse and Volkie Van Noorstrant Van Hoesen in New Netherland about 1640. He was from Husum in Schelswig- Holstein.

Their son, Jurrian Janse, and daughter, Anna Wyngaert, became a residents of Albany.

In 1790, two Van Hoesen (Husen) named households appeared on the census.

In 1815, the houses of Cornelius and Widow Mary Van Hoesen were listed in the Albany city directory.
