The Hasbrouck family was an early immigrant family to Ulster County, New York, and helped found New Paltz, New York. The Hasbrouck family were French Huguenots who fled persecution in France by moving to Germany,[citation needed] and then the United States. Two brothers, Jean II and Abraham, are the ancestors of almost all individuals in the United States with the last name "Hasbrouck," or some variation.
The Hasbrouck brothers Jean and Abraham were the sons of Jean Hasbrouck I and his wife Esther,[citation needed] both born in France. When Louis XIV gained the French throne in 1643, he aggressively forced Huguenots to convert to Roman Catholicism, an ongoing effort by French monarchs to perform this action. Louis imposed penalties, closed schools, and implemented Dragonnades, which were meant to intimidate the Huguenot families. Huguenot homes would be occupied or looted by French troops as part of this policy.[citation needed]
Move to Germany and the Colonies
Many of the Huguenots became religious refugees, fleeing France to other parts of Europe. The Hasbrouck family ended up in Mannheim, Germany, among many other families. It wasn't long before these families continued their journey and sailed to the colonies in North America.[1] One of the earliest French Huguenots to move to the colonies was Matthys Blanchan and his family, which included his son-in-law Louis DuBois.
Jean Hasbrouck II and his wife, Anne Deyo, and two of their children, Maria and Hester, along with Anne's parents Christian and Jeanne Verbeau Deyo, and Anne's siblings Pierre, Maria and Elizabeth, would move to present-day New York, settling first in Hurley, New York. In 1675, Jean's brother Abraham would join with the group in Hurley, which had now grown to a very large number. On November 17, 1675, he would marry Maria Deyo, his brother's wife's sister.[2]
Founding of New Paltz
After garnering enough support and continuing to grow their families, the Huguenots set out to find a desirable land that they could call their own. They found an area 15 miles south of Kingston, New York, where they had resided for a short time but found that the constant squabbles with local Native Americans made it difficult to function. The owners of the land they coveted were the Esopus Indians, who lived on a considerable amount of land up and down the Hudson River where present-day Esopus, New York, runs, through Ulster Park, New York, and into where New Paltz stands.
The Huguenots initiated peaceful negotiations with the Esopus tribe, agreeing to a land contract with five of their chiefs and 21 of their natives. This was followed by the royal, or patent, grant, given to the Huguenots by Governor Edmund Andros on September 29, 1677.[3]
In 1678, the families proceeded to their new home, building simple wood houses near the Wallkill River. They would name their new settlement New Paltz, which was meant to honor the Germany state in which Mannheim exists, Pfalz-am-Rhein. As part of the patent they had received, twelve of the new settlers signed the document and were considered the founders, or patentees, of New Paltz. Jean and Abraham Hasbrouck were two of these signers, along with their father-in-law, Christian Deyo; their brother-in-law, Pierre "Peter" Deyo; brother-in-law, Simon LeFevre (who married Elizabeth Deyo); brother-in-law, Abraham DuBois (who married Margaret Deyo); Jean's son-in-law Isaac DuBois (married Maria Hasbrouck); Abraham and Isaac's father Louis; Simon's brother, Andries LeFevre; Hugo Freer; Louis Bevier; and Antoine Crispell, who married Maria Blanchan, daughter of Matthys and sister of Catherine (married Louis DuBois).[4]
One of the first structures in New Paltz was a fort-like stockade, a requirement of Governor Andros for protection.[5]
Huguenot Street
(see Huguenot Street Historic District) The families settled on a stretch of land, now known as Historic Huguenot Street, where many of their early homes were built. The wood-like homes were soon replaced by stone structures, that have stood until present day. The first patentee to pass away was Christian Deyo, and a cemetery was established on Huguenot Street not far from where the homes were. Many of the patentees would be buried in this cemetery, and Christian was the first.
Anne Deyo Hasbrouck would die in 1694, and not see many of the structures built with stone; her husband, Jean, died in 1714, having built a small, simple stone house. His brother Abraham would die in 1717, also having built a small house, and his wife Maria Deyo Hasbrouck in 1741. They would all be buried in the Huguenot Cemetery.
Abraham and Maria's son, Daniel, would add on to his father's residence, making it much larger and committing to upgrades for his family. While it was originally thought that the "Abraham Hasbrouck House" was built solely by Abraham, dating of the trees and remnants of the earliest parts of the house show that it was completed after Abraham's death, around 1720. This makes Daniel the likely contributor to most of what the home looks like today, and he resided there until around 1740.[6]
Early Hasbrouck family: Jean and Anna Deyo Hasbrouck had at least six children:
Maria Hasbrouck (1664–1719); married Isaac DuBois (1659–1690) on June 1, 1683

Jacob Hasbrouck (1688–1761); married Esther Bevier (1687–1741) on December 7, 1714
Abraham and Maria Deyo Hasbrouck had at least five children:
Rachel Hasbrouck (1680-bef 1717); married Louis DuBois Jr. (1677–1749) on January 19, 1701
Joseph Hasbrouck (1683–1724); married Elsie Schoonmaker (1685–1764) on October 27, 1705
Solomon Hasbrouck (1686–1752); married Sarah Van Wagenen (1701–1753)
Daniel Hasbrouck (1692–1759); married Wyntje Deyo (1706–1787); great-granddaughter of Christian Deyo and Daniel's 1st cousin once removed
Benjamin Hasbrouck (1696–1763); married Jannetje DeLong (1712–1787) on February 13, 1737[7]
Benjamin Hasbrouck (1696–1763); married Jannetje DeLong (1712–1787) on February 13, 1737[8]
Many of the Hasbrouck descendants would marry into the other patentee families, as well as other early settler families from the Netherlands such as the Elting, Van Wagenen, Louw and Schoonmaker families.

Abruyn Street in Kingston is named after Abraham Bruyn Hasbrouck; because he was prominent at in Kingston at the same time as his first cousin, Abraham J. Hasbrouck, he would sign his name "Abruyn," thus resulting in the street name. Hasbrouck also founded the village of St. Remy, within the limits of Kingston and Esopus.

Ziggy Hasbrook was born Robert Lyndon Hasbrouck on November 21, 1893, in Grundy Center, Iowa, the son of Leander Pelton Hasbrouck and Josephine Sarah Klein Hasbrouck. He grew up in Iowa, residing in Palermo at the time of the 1900 and 1910 US Census.
In 1913, Ziggy joined the Muscatine Wallopers, playing with them through 1915 (known as the Buttonmakers in 1914 and Muskies in 1915). In 1916, Ziggy appeared in nine games for the Chicago White Sox of Major League Baseball, receiving nine at bats and hitting a single and scoring a run in those opportunities. He played first base for Chicago. He would later re-join the Muskies that year.[13]
In 1917, he appeared in two games for the White Sox, receiving one at bat and playing second base. This would be the end of his Major League career. He would join the Columbus Senators for the rest of 1917, and then played for the Mobile Bears in 1918, Des Moines Boosters in 1919 and 1920, and the San Francisco Seals in 1920.[14]

Lydia Sayer Hasbrouck
Lydia Sayer Hasbrouck was born December 20, 1827, in Bellvale, New York, the daughter of Benjamin Sayer (1791–1874) and his wife, Rebecca Forshee Sayer (1796–1858).
Lydia would move to Middletown, and began wearing Bloomers, which was considered a "radical" article of clothing at that time. She attended school at Elmira Academy and was graduated from Hygeio-Therapeutic College in New York City, studying hydropathy. She would move to Washington, D.C., and became a newspaper correspondent.
John Whitbeck Hasbrouck, of Middletown, invited Lydia to speak as part of a lecture. They would later marry on July 27, 1856. They had three children: Daisy (1857–1860), Sayer (1860–1919), and Burt (1862–1911). She was elected to the Middletown Board of Education in 1880.

Ezra Fitch
Ezra Hasbrouck Fitch was born September 21, 1865, in Coxsackie, New York, to Roswell Reed Fitch and his wife, Margaretta Wyanna Hasbrouck Fitch. Ezra was only 15 days old when his mother died on October 6, 1865, likely due to complications of his birth. His parents had married on December 21, 1864, in Stone Ridge, New York. On July 17, 1873, Roswell married Helen Eldridge Carswell (1847–1950), and they had two daughters: Helen Margaret Fitch Cobb (1874–1978) and Eloise Maddren Fitch (1880–1902). Ezra's paternal aunt, Harriet Fitch (1840–1932), married his maternal uncle, John Cornelius Hasbrouck (1840–1901), and they had seven children, making them double first cousins of Ezra.
Ezra grew up on the Hudson River in Coxsackie on an estate built by his paternal great-grandfather, Roswell Reed. His father would move the family to Brooklyn, and would die there on January 11, 1888. By this time, Ezra had been out on his own, having graduated from New York University in 1894 and engaging in different business pursuits and becoming a significant customer of David Abercrombie's store, Abercrombie Co., starting in 1892.
On March 2, 1897, in Brooklyn, Ezra married Sara Huntington Sturges (1874–1960), daughter of banker Stephen Buckingham Sturges. They moved to California for a brief period before moving back east. They had a daughter, Edith Sturges Fitch, born in 1901 in New York City. The Fitch's would move to Kingston, New York, where Ezra opened a law practice. He would still frequently travel to New York and visit David Abercrombie's store, and by 1900, he had purchased a large share of the business. By 1904, they would become known as "Abercrombie and Fitch Co." Ezra wished for the company to become increasingly more public, while David did not wish for this to happen, instead wanting to keep it for the elite. Abercrombie sold out to Fitch in 1907, and with that, Ezra Fitch expanded the company with large success. He would remain in charge until 1928, when he sold his assets in the company, which is still known today as Abercrombie & Fitch.
Ezra Fitch was attributed to bringing Mahjong to the United States from China.
Ezra H. Fitch died on June 16, 1930, off the coast of Santa Barbara, California, on his yacht. He had only owned and slept on the yacht for a few days leading up to his death. He was buried in Washington on the Green Cemetery in Washington, Connecticut. His daughter, Edith, married Paul Fessenden Cruikshank and they had four children: Paul Fessenden, Jr., Elaine, Sally and Janet. His half-sister Helen's son, Roswell Fitch Truman, would remain a part of Abercrombie and Fitch for quite some time after Ezra's death.
Fitch street in Kingston, New York, is named for Ezra and his paternal grandfather, Ezra Fitch (1805–1870).[16]

Jay LeFevre was born September 6, 1893, in New Paltz, the son of Abraham Philip "Abram" LeFevre and his wife, Mary Emma Vanderlyn LeFevre. Through his mother, he was a distant relative of painter John Vanderlyn.
Jay graduated from Dartmouth College in 1916, and then joined the United States Army and served as a second lieutenant in the Reserve Officers Training Corps at Camp Taylor, Arkansas. He was associated with his father in business involving coal and lumber in the New Paltz area, and engaged in banking in that locale as well. His father had been Supervisor of the Town of New Paltz from 1910 to 1913, and served in the New York State Assembly from 1914 to 1917.
In 1942, Jay was elected to the 78th United States Congress as a Republican from New York's 27th Congressional District. He served from 1943 to 1945, getting re-elected and serving from 1945 to 1951 as a member from New York's 30th Congressional District. He was not a candidate for re-election in 1950, and joined the New York State Bridge Authority. By this point, he was also not engaged in his father's former business pursuits, either.
Jay died on April 26, 1970, in Kingston, New York. He was buried in the Lloyd Union Cemetery in Lloyd, New York. He married Mildred B. Hiltebrant (1893–1984) on January 3, 1920, and had three children: Elaine (1921–2004), Jay Abram (1925–2014) and John Hiltebrant (1927–2006).

In 1867, he was elected to the New York State Assembly, serving one year in 1868. In 1877, he was elected the second mayor of Kingston, serving from 1878 to 1879, when he was elected to the 46th United States Congress as a Democrat, serving from 1879 to 1881.

George H. Sharpe
George Henry Sharpe was born February 26, 1828, in Kingston, to Henry and Helen Hasbrouck Sharpe, and grandson of Abraham J. Hasbrouck. He grew up in Kingston and attended Kingston Academy and Albany Academy before entering Rutgers University, graduating from that institute in 1847. He entered private law practice in New York City, engaging from 1848 to 1851, and then moving to Kingston and practicing law there from 1854 to 1861.
At the outbreak of the American Civil War, Sharpe had been captain of the 20th New York Militia, but had submitted his resignation. However, at word of the attack on Fort Sumter, Sharpe withdrew his resignation and had recruited 248 men through one day. In 1862, he was commissioned a colonel and over a span of 22 days recruited 1041 men, going to battle on the 23rd day. He was brevetted to brigadier general in 1864 and major general in 1865.
Following the Civil War, Major General Sharpe was sent to Europe to identify United States citizens that may have been involved in the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln, making him the "first CIA agent" in U.S. history. This assignment followed a stint as Chief of the Bureau of Military Information from 1863 to 1865.
Sharpe was elected in 1878 to the New York State Assembly, serving from 1879 to 1882, serving as its speaker from 1880 to 1881. Sharpe was nominated to the Board of General Appraisers by President Benjamin Harrison in 1890, serving until his resignation in 1899.
General Sharpe died on January 13, 1900, in Manhattan, New York, at the residence of his daughter and son-in-law.
General Sharpe built a large mansion at 1 Albany Avenue in Kingston after the conclusion of the Civil War, and resided here up until the 1890s. His mansion stood until the 1960s, when it was demolished. General Sharpe entertained many guests at this mansion, including United States Presidents Ulysses S. Grant and Chester A. Arthur. Not far from where his mansion once stood was a cemetery, called Sharp's Burying Ground, at 148 Albany Avenue. This burial ground was likely named for General Sharpe's father as well as himself.[20]
General Sharpe married his cousin, Caroline Hone Hasbrouck (1830–1898), on December 20, 1855. She was the daughter of Abraham Bruyn Hasbrouck and his wife, Julia Ludlum Hasbrouck. Together they had three children:
Severyn Bruyn Sharpe (1857–1929), an 1879 graduate of Yale University and one-time Ulster County Judge; he married Frances Payntar (1868–1949) and had one daughter, Katharine Davenport Sharpe (1901–1989)

Laurence Hasbrouck Snyder
Laurence Hasbrouck Snyder was born July 23, 1901, in Kingston, son of DeWitt Clinton and Gertrude Louisa Wood Snyder. He had four siblings, Anna Gertrude (died in infancy), Robert, Allan, and Clinton DeWitt. By 1905, the family was residing in Brooklyn, and by 1920 in Staten Island, New York. Laurence graduated from Rutgers University in 1922, and two years later was brought on to be a professor of biology at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, North Carolina. In 1926, while still a professor, he earned a doctor of science degree from Harvard University.
Snyder would remain at NC State until 1930, when he moved and became a professor of genetics at Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. He would later become chairman of the Department of Zoology and Entomology at OSU, remaining at this institution until 1947. The 1930 United States Census shows Snyder living in Swift Creek, North Carolina, and the 1940 United States Census shows Snyder living in Columbus, Ohio.
In 1958, Snyder became president of the University of Hawaii in Honolulu. He served in this role until 1963, and while in office he oversaw a very large expansion of the college, in both buildings (37 new built) and enrollment (doubled).
Snyder has been described as a father of human genetics thanks to his long career in the profession and his research. He died on October 8, 1986, in Honolulu.
He married Guldborg M. Herland (1901–1994) in 1923, and they had two daughters: Clara Reed Snyder Converse and Margaret Neal Snyder Petersen. At the time of his death, his obituary states that he had nine grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren. His ashes were scattered privately by his family.[22]

Byrd but was unsuccessful in this campaign. In 1988, he was elected West Virginia's commissioner of their department of agriculture, serving from 1989 to 1993. He ran for governor of West Virginia in 1992 but was unsuccessful in this attempt as well.

Influence on Ulster County
The lasting impacts of the Huguenots and their arrival to Ulster County can be seen in present-day around the area, especially in New Paltz. The local high school possesses the nickname of "Hugies," short for Huguenots. There is a Manheim Boulevard, named after the town in Germany many of the families fled to before coming to the United States. Also contained in the town or village of New Paltz are Hasbrouck Park, a playground-based park located near the SUNY New Paltz.
Following a fire in 1884, the New Paltz Classical School offered to their land to New York State to create a normal school. The creation of this normal school was overseen by a Board of Trustees of 14 individuals; one president, one secretary and 12 voting members. This board was instrumental in the creation of the normal school and establishing the roots for SUNY New Paltz. Every member on this board was a descendant of the original patentee families of New Paltz:[27]
Elting Tjerck Deyo (1830–1907)- member; descendant of the Deyo, Freer and Crispell families
Solomon Deyo (1834–1904)- secretary; descendant of Deyo, DuBois, LeFevre, Hasbrouck
Gilbert DuBois (1819–1886)- member; descendant of DuBois family
Henry J. DuBois (1829–1907)- member; descendant of DuBois, Freer, Deyo and Hasbrouck families
Henry Hasbrouck Elting (1850–1907)- member; descendant of DuBois, Deyo, Freer, Hasbrouck and Bevier families
Jesse Elting (1838–1922)- member; descendant of DuBois, Deyo, Freer, LeFevre, and Hasbrouck families
Philip LeFevre Elting (1836–1919)- member; descendant of DuBois, Deyo, Freer, LeFevre, Hasbrouck and Bevier families
Josiah J. Hasbrouck (1843–1913)- member; descendant of Hasbrouck, Deyo, Bevier, DuBois, and LeFevre families
Philip Bevier Hasbrouck (1825–1906)- member; descendant of Hasbrouck, Bevier, Deyo, and DuBois families
Lambert Jenkins (1821–1901)- member; descendant of LeFevre, Deyo, DuBois, Hasbrouck
Simon Peter Snyder Keator (1828–1899)- member; descendant of Freer family
DuBois LeFevre (1824–1904)- member; descendant of LeFevre, Deyo, DuBois, and Hasbrouck families
Ralph LeFevre (1844–1925)- president; descendant of LeFevre, Deyo, Freer, DuBois and Hasbrouck families
Jacob Louw Snyder (1836–1913)- member; descendant of DuBois, Hasbrouck, and Deyo families
Through the efforts of this board, as well as the last names of the patentees of New Paltz, many of the buildings on the campus were named after the Huguenots, in an area called the Hasbrouck Complex. There was Deyo Hall, DuBois Hall, Hasbrouck Hall, Bevier Hall, Crispell Hall and LeFevre Hall; as well as the Hasbrouck Dining Hall and the Elting Gymnasium (the Elting family was not considered a Patentee family, but were significant in the early days of New Paltz; Roelif Elting, one of the first to the area, married Sara DuBois, daughter of Patentee Abraham DuBois and granddaughter of patentees Louis DuBois and Christian Deyo). However, these names were changed in 2019 after a long-term research project in which it was decided that due to the Patentees and their owning of slaves, that the buildings should not bear their names any longer.[28]
Some of the street names in New Paltz reflect the families as well, with Huguenot Street being the most obvious. Other names that appear include Hasbrouck Avenue, Hasbrouck Place, Huguenot Court, Elting Avenue, Henry W. DuBois Drive (named for Henry William DuBois, mayor of the village of New Paltz from 1958 to 1975), Duzine Road (douze is French for 12, meant to represent the 12 patentees), and Holland Lane (several Huguenots fled to the Netherlands to avoid persecution).[29]
Hasbrouck Park in Kingston was one of the city's first downtown parks, opened in 1920. Many streets in Kingston possess Huguenot backstories, including Bernard Street (named for Reuben Bernard, who married a Crispell), Bruyn Street (named for Charles D. Bruyn, whose mother was a Hasbrouck and Cornelius Bruyn, who married first a Bevier and secondly the daughter of a Hasbrouck), DeWitt Street (named for Jacob Hasbrouck DeWitt, whose mother was a Hasbrouck), Deyo Street (named for Sylvester R. Deyo, direct descendant of patentee Christian Deyo), DuBois Street (named for Josiah DuBois Jr., a direct descendant of patentee Louis DuBois), Kiersted Avenue (named for Christopher Kierstede, who married a DuBois), Hasbrouck Avenue and Hasbrouck Place (named for Abraham Joseph Hasbrouck), Abruyn Street (named for Abraham Bruyn Hasbrouck) and Catharine Street (named for Catharine Hasbrouck Ludlum).

Louis Du Bois was a Huguenot colonist in New Netherland who, with two of his sons and nine other refugees, founded the town of New Paltz, New York. These Protestant refugees fled Catholic persecution in France, emigrating to the Rhenish Palatinate and then to New Netherland, where they settled in Wiltwyck and Nieuw Dorp (present-day Hurley, New York, settlements midway between New Amsterdam and Beverwyck before ultimately founding New Paltz.
Josiah Hasbrouck was a United States representative from New York. Born in New Paltz, he completed preparatory studies and conducted a general merchandising business. He was a second lieutenant in the Third Regiment of Ulster County Militia in 1780, and was supervisor of New Paltz from 1784 to 1786 and in 1793, 1794, and 1799 to 1805. He was a member of the New York State Assembly in 1796, 1797, 1802, and 1806.
Historic Huguenot Street is located in New Paltz, New York, approximately 90 miles (140 km) north of New York City. The seven stone houses and several accompanying structures in the 10-acre National Landmark Historic District were likely built in the early 18th century by Huguenot settlers fleeing discrimination and religious persecution in France and what's now southern Belgium. After negotiating with the Esopus Indians, this small group of Huguenots settled on a flat rise on the banks of the Wallkill River in 1678. The settlers named the site in honor of Die Pfalz, the region of present-day Germany that had provided them temporary refuge before they came to America. Archaeological finds indicate that the immediate area settled by the Huguenots was occupied by Native Americans prior to European contact. The site is one of the oldest continuously inhabited settlements in the United States.
