Generation 1
Juriaen Westfall
This web page represents material I have collected and combined from original sources and other researchers over a long period of time. I am sure that it contains errors. Most of the information on the third generation and beyond come from Frank Allen Hales and W. Lynn Hutchinson (now deceased) of West Virginia. Mr. Hutchinson's book, "THE WESTFALLS OF WEST VIRGINIA" is one of the best well documented, authoritative and complete history of the Westfalls that I have read in my almost forty years of genealogy research. For clarity I have used the modern form of the Westfall name, except when refering to specific documents in the notes for each generation.

Notes:   These notes and timeline are lengthy, but the give us a good idea of the life of Juriaen and his fellow settlers in Rensselaerwyck and Esopus/Wiltwyck. Juriaen's names is given in the official records of the Rensselaerswyck colony as Bestval, Bestvall, Bestevall, Bestivall, Bestwall, Westval, Westvael, Westvaelt, and Westphael. When researching these old Dutch records it is important to understand the naming conventions used. The second name (surname) used was often the father's given name with the suffix "sen or ens" - Hansen, child of Hans. In the eariest records Juriaen's children would sometimes be recorded as Rymerick Jurrriaens, Johannes Juriansen, etc. Suffixes "tje/tie" are used to denote female names.
  1621 Jurgen Westphal is named on a baptismal record of the Evangelical Church of Stettin, Pomerania (now Poland), what was then part of the Bavarian empire.[1a]
  June 25, 1639 Hans Jansen of Noortstrant, came to this country about 1639 with a family of children including daughter Marretie (Mary) who married Juriaen Bestval about 1650. 3
  Dec. 8, 1641 Hans Jansen of Noortstrant, father, baptized daughter Rammetje Hansen in the Dutch Church. 3

Dircksen, for their board in the same manner as all the other freemen, but
that board of the farm hands is charged to me.
N.B. The bookkeeper in the colony must regularly see to it that the board
of the freemen is charged to their account, as Director Kieft sometimes charges
it with that of other people in one lump to the patroon..." 1
  Jun-Aug 1642 SETTLERS OF RENSELAERSWICK, 1630-1658; The ship (De Huyttuyn) sailed from Texel, Holland on June 6, and arrived at Rensselaerswyck, Aug. 11, 1642. Juriaen Westvael was brought from Holland at the expense of Kiliaen Van Rensselaer, as a farmer upon his lands, and he remained as a farm laborer for the Patroon until his removal to Esopus. 1
  Aug 13, 1642 [Same as above] "Juriaen Bestval (Bestvall, Bestivall, Westval, Westvael, Westvaelt, van Westvaele), from Luyderdorp [Leiderdorp, near Leyden]; came by de Houttuyn and drew wages in the colony from Aug. 13, 1642." 1
  May 23, 1644 Hans Jansen, father and guardian of Marritje Hans, his daughter, acknowledges to have bound his above named daughter to Philip Garritsen, tavern-keeper, for the term of three consecutive years, beginning on New Years’, 1645, ending on New Year’s, 1648, to serve in the family and to be provided and cared for ashis own child, and to be taught sewing. 3
  July 1644 SETTLERS OF RENSELAERSWICK, [Juriaen Bestvall] is referred to as servant of Michiel Jansz. 1
  1646 Kiliaen van Rensselaer died in Amsterdam in 1646 and the title of patroon passed to his son, Jon (Johan) Baptist Rensselaer.
  May 11, 1647 Peter Stuyvesant was appointed as governor of New Netherland and arrived in New Amsterdam on May 11, 1647.
  July 22, 1647 “Barent Jansen from Ocholm aged about 36 years and Hans Jansen from Noordstrant testefy and declair that it is true, that they in the year 1643 at the beginning of thewar, had asked Cornelis Melyns consent to take off from Long Island, maize belonging to the Indians. Thereupon, Melyn said, if you will do so ye may do so, but charged them not to take away any maize if Indians were there. They the affiants, with some soldiers, sailed across, observed Indians and did not takeany maize themselves, but think the soldiers took a small pouch of it in their canoe." 3
  Dec. 21, 1648 "Joshem Kettelheym and Jurien [identified in footnote as Juriaen Bestval], [Evert] Pels's servant, summoned to give testimony to the truth upon interritogatories." Kettelheym was defending himself against a claim he was an informer (to the indians). 2
  Mar. 25, 1649 "On the date above written Evert Pels transfers and conveys to Jeuriaen Bestvall the house, haybarracks and barn as they have to this date been used by Evert Pels, everything to be appraised at a convenient time by impartial men." 2 Juriaen had reached legal age (26) by this date, which allowed him to enter into legal contracts; this gives us an approximate date of birth of around 1623.
  Dec.8, 1649 "Juriaen Westval and Jochem Ketelheym summoned to appear on the 16th of this month. December 16, first default." 2 (Juriaen and Kettelheym have defaulted on their lease payment to Evert Pels. The record of the Dec. 16th court date is missing because part of the page was destroyed).
  Dec. 30, 1649 "Evert Pels acknowledges his signature to the contract of the farm formerly occupied by him and agrees to render his account within 14 Days." 2
  Jan. 12, 1650 "The honorable director [Slichtenhorst],plaintiff, against Jochem Kettelheym, defendant ... December 13 [1649], the director attached, in the hands of Jeuriaen Bestval, all the moneys due from him to said Jochem, in order to secure payment; in the first place fl. 40, which he, Jochem, then owed to Nocolaes Koorn and which were attached in his hands, according to Koorn's own admission, as appears by de Hooges's endorsement on file. What is more Coorn [sic] several times importuned the director, both in his house and on the road about this attachment..." 2
  Mar. 3, 1650 "Jeuriaen Bestvall acknowledges his signature to the contract." Refers to the contract with Evert Pels for payment on Juriaen's farm. 2
  Mar. 17, 1650 "Claes Segersz and Jeuriaen Bestval offer themselves as sureties for the payment of three years rent by Gysbert Cornelisz aende Berch and confirm this by the clasping of hands." 2
  Dec. 13, 1650 "On the date aforesaid the honorable director attached the money in the hands of Jeuriaen Bestval which is due to Jochem Kettelheym, on account of a claim which the director has against said Jochem, for which Jochem is summond to appear on Thursday after New Year. First default." 2
  Jan. 12, 1651

"December 13, the director attached, in the hands of Jeuriaen Bestval, all the money due from him to said Jochem [Kettelheym], in order to secure payment, in the first place fl. 40, which he, Jochem, then owed to N[i]colaes Koorn and which were attached in his hands, according to Koorn's own admission, as appears by de Hooges's endorsement on file. What is more, [K]oorn several time simportuned the director, both in his house and on the road, about this attachment.... fl.40:-" 2
  Feb. 14, 1651 "Inventory of the animals in the colony sent over by Johan Baptist Rensselaer; Animals found on the farm of jeuriaen bestval, the 14th day of February 1651" - Horses: 1 black mare 12 years old; 1 brown [mare] with a star 7 years old; 1 black mare with a star 6 years old; 1 black mare about 3; 2 black stallions 3 yrs; 2 black stallions colts with blazes 1 yrs; 1 brown [colt] 1 yr - Cattle: 1 red cow about 11; 1 spotted cow, 8; 1 red cow, 7; 1 red heifer, 2; 1 red heifer calf. 1
  1651 [foot note to above] "Memorandum of farms in the New Netherland and what rent the same should bring; from Capt. Slijter's report"; One farm used by Juriaen Weestmael on Papsichine [Papscanee] Island, one of the best, has never paid yet and gives tithes f.42:- [Rent] f560, 28 morgens, 10 horses, 5 cows. 1
  Mar. 7, 1651 "... On the same date in like manner the director [Director Slichtenhorst] attached the grain of Jeuriaen Bestval and also summoned him in order to secure payment for the years 1649 and 1650." 2
  Mar. 16, 1651 "The director demands payment from Jochem Kettelheym on account of the farm of Jeuriaen Bestval, so far as his share as principal is concerned." 2
  Dec. 7, 1651 "Jeuriaen Bestval and Jochem Kettelheym are hereby peremptorily and strickly ordered to promptly pay the arrears of money next Thursday, or furnish two sufficient sureties, or, in default thereof to go to debtors prison." 2
  May 1, 1653 SETTLERS OF RENSELAERSWICK, Pieter Hartgers leases the farm on Papscanee Island formerly leased by Juriaen Bestval. 1
  1654 Marretje Hansen and Juriaen Westfall were married probably about 1654 based on the approximate ages of their eldest children.
  Sep 1654 A patent for 32 1/2 morgens of land (about 22 acres) at Esopus was granted to Juriaen Westphael. "Inhabitants of Rensselaerwyck, who had grown restive under the feudal obligations to the Patroon, settled at Esopus, and among the number were Thomas Chambers, Evert Pels and Juriaen Westvael." 5,9
  Mar. 17, 1657 A land patent is issued by "Petrus" Stuyvesant to Johanna De Laet, widow of Johan De Hulter for 500 morgens of land (approximately 335 acres), "... further divided at the north from the land on which Juriaen Van Westphalen lives now by a small Kil [stream] ..." 5,9 (it is interesting that Juriaen's name is given as "Van Westphalen", Van denoting where the person was from. Even so, we cannot take this to mean that Juriaen was actually from Westphalen, a German state on the Rhine River bordered on the west by Holland.
  Sep. 28,
1658

A letter to Peter Stuyvesant from Sergeant Andries Lourensen telling of the conditions at Esopus, "As to Jurryen Westfallen he thinks he will come down at the first opportunity and see if he can agree with your Excy. of the rent of the farm here, but the oxen would be of no service to him at present; he will speak about it more in detail with your Excellency." 5
  May 24,
1659		 Sergeant Lourensen reports to Stuyvesant, "... George Westphal does his best to plough the land and fence it. I have lent him 69 pounds of bacon as he needed provisions. The oats are in the ground, all which your honor has sent, the spring wheat came too late and the land is fenced nearly all the way around, the ploughing continues since your Honor has sent the oxen. The oxen, in which your honor is privately interested, draw well. He has sold his cows by order of your Honor. I have delivered the iron and ropes which your Honor has sent..." 5
  Aug. 4, 1659 A letter from Sergeant Lourensen to Stuyvesant, "These hasty lines are to inform your Honor, what the savages intended to do to us, as on the 29th of July Ao 1659 we were warned by a certain Maques [Mohawk], called Amiros, to be on our guard, because, he said, the savages about here were looking out for us, as it was close to harvest time, the intended to murder us; also from another side, a certain southern savage said the same, and we, having been warned, keep together a good watch; besides we have heard from Claes de Ruyter's own mouth, that he stated in presence of Jacob Jansen Stoll, that he had been advised at Little Soopus [Esopus] not to come in here, because the savages intended to go to war. We therefore decided and have resolved with the farmers, to mow and bring in the corn all together. After a general consent had be given hereto, Cornelis Slecht and Willem Jansen went to their own fields and barns and broke the resolution without giving notice to anybody and consider their treachery to be nothing and not worth mentioning, but Jacob Jansen's people, Thomas [Chambers], Pieter Dircksen and Jugen Westval help each other; to them I have given a detail of soldiers as guard in the country, until your Honor, the General, shall come here himself, for we were told by Claes de Ruyter that we may expect your Honor soon..." 5
  Aug. 17, 1659 Juriaen and twelve others petitioned Peter Stuyvesant to establish a church at Wiltwyck (Kingston) and that Rev. Harmanus Bloom, who had recently arrived from Holland, would accept the position as pastor.  Except for Thomas Chambers, Jan Van Osterhout and Cornelious Slecht, all petitioners signed with a mark. Juriaen signed with a three pronged trident mark. 5
  August 17(?), 1659 In a statement that appears to be a follow-up statement to Sergeant Lourensen's letter of August 4th, "STATEMENT REGARDING THE FEARS OF THE PEOPLE AT ESOPUS AND THEIR REASONS FOR IT; THEY ASK FOR A LITTLE BELL FROM FORT ORANGE AND REQUEST A VISIT FROM DIR. STUYVESANT." This statement lists mostly those things mentioned in Lourensen's letter. At the end of the statement is, "Jurriaen Bestvaal would like to have 2 or 3 more cows, a dwelling house and a farmhand. The inhabitants of Esopus desire the Honable General to come there, that some more lots be surveyed, as there are several people, who would like to cultivate the land, but they have no lots." 5
  Oct. 1659 A letter from the inhabitants of Esopus to Director Stuyvesant begging Stuyvesant to leave Ensign Smith [Smitt] with them. It goes on to say that they have been forced to remain in the fort for eight days because of the Indians who have burned houses in the village, killed livestock, captured several, including Sergeant Lourensen, and killed a man and his son. Several men signed the letter, including Jurian Westval (who signed with his mark, a distinctive horizontal trident pointing right). 5
  Apr. 9, 1660 A letter from Ensign Dirckk Smitt to Secretary Van Rurven, "... I beg to inform your Honor I have received from Mathias Roeloff's wife here 20 schepels of wheat for your Honor and from Skipper Vlodder or out of his yacht 145 scheples of spring-wheat, of which Jurryen Westphalen, your Honor's farmer, has received 50 schepels..." 5
  May 12, 1660 Ensign Derck Smitt reports, "I have to inform your Honor in regards to the spring-corn, which we sowed, that Thomas Chambers has 100 scheples of barley and peas in the ground and Jurryaen Westphalen your Honor's farmer has in the ground 100 scheples of spring-wheat and barley as well as peas and oats..." 5
  May 30, 1660 A letter from Ensign Smitt to Dir. Stuyvesant tells of an expedition of 75 men from Esopus to find the Esopus Indians; after they were unable to cross a flooded river and returned to Esopus, "... I was instantly informed by the wife of Juryen Westphalen, that there was a passage, but about 3 hours' march further up in the aforesaid valley. We resolved then to undertake it again immediately and took our road according to the aforesaid woman and got through and found their houses, but they discovered us through the barking of their dogs and fled quietly into the woods without a shot having been fired by us or by them..." 5
  Mar. 4, 1661 "CONTRACT BETWEEN THOMAS CHAMBERS AND OTHER INHABITANTS OF ESOPUS AND REV. HERMANUS BLOEM - The undersigned inhabitants at the place, called Esopus, promise to give our reverend minister Hermanus Bloem as salary for the first year ..." etc., signed by Thomas Chambers, Cornelis Barentsen Slecht, the mark of Gertruy Andries, Roeloff Swartwout, Alaerdt Heymensen Roose, the mark of Juriaen Westvael (horizontal trident). 5
  Sep. 25, 1661 Father Juriaen Westvael and mother Marretjen Hansen baptised Child Abel, witnesses Anna Blom [wife of Rev. Blom], Aeltjen Wiggers, Pieter Jacobsen, and Pieter Jansen [probably brother of Marretjen]; baptism records of Hermanus Blom. (Rev. Blom arrived in Wiltwyck and began performing baptisms in 1660; if the older children of Juriaen and Marretjen were baptised the records from them have not survived). 7

The leasees agree to assist in the defense of Foxhall [Chamber's manor awarded him for his services to the colony]. The lease is signed by Thomas Chambers, Jacob Elberts, and JOHANNIS JURIAENSEN WESTVAELLIN.

  June 25, 1719 John Reading, a West Jersey agent (for New Jersey Governor Hunter) noted in his journal that six of their party had arrived at JOHANNES WESTPHALIA's two nights before and found his family in good health but with few provisions because of their dependence on their stock, which was to have arrived before them from Esopus.20
  Nov. 9, 1719 NICOLAS WESTFAAL, JOANNIS WESTFAAL, Teunis Quick, CORNELIUS de DUYSTER, SIMON WESTFAAL, and RYMERIG QUICK of Orange County petition the New York Council. The petioners complained that they have been in possession of tracts of land at Waghackameck [creek] on Little Menising for 21 years and the Swartwout's had forcibly taken over their land and crops leaving them in desperate circumstances.20 This was part of a long running feud between the Westfalls and Swartwout's over land. It is not clear to me whether Rymerig Quick was the widow of Thomas Quick or their daughter since the Dutch continued to use the father's surname at Machackemeck and Minisink for decades.
  Aug. 14, 1721 The Swartwout's make a petition to the Council of New York that JOHANNES WESTPHALE, Tomis Quick, NICHOLAS WESTPHALE, CORNELIUS de DUYSTER, JACOBUS WESTPHALE, NICHOLAS WESTPHALE, Jr. and others "violently" took prisoners and grain from their wagons.20

  Oct. 9, 1721 The Swartwouts and Westfalls appeared before the New York Council concerning their land dispute. Deposition by Col. Jacob Rutsen of Rosendale, age about 70, stated he was part of the Westfall syndicate that in 1695 or 1696 they had obtained a license from Governor Fletcher to purchase the Great and Little Minisink Islands from the Indians and the Swartwouts had obtained a license to purchase land at Machackemeck. Other members of the Westfall syndicate make depositions; NICOLAS WESTPHALIA, CORNELIUS de DUISCHTER, JOHANNES WESTPHALIA are mentioned in these depositions.20
  Aug. 9, 1722 the Swartwouts and others make a complaint in court against JOHANNES WESTPHALIA.20
  Mar. 14, 1723 CORNELIS DEVOOR, j. m., born in N. Jork [New York], and HELENA WESTVAAL, j. d., born in Menissing [Minisink]," and both resid, there. Banns registered, 17 Feb.15
  Feb. 23, 1733 JOHANNIS WESTPHAEL of "Maghhaghkemeck", Orange Co., New York, heir at law of JURYAN WESTPHAEL who died intestate [without a will] makes a deed to JACOB WESTPHAEL, eldest son of Johannis, for land patented by JURYAN WESTPHAEL on May 24, 1667 on the north side of Esopus Creek and a lot in Kingston.20 Perhaps Johannis was deeding this land to his oldest son Jacob to prevent any legal challenges after his death.

John claimed the land was his to sell based on a deathbed oral bequeath his father Abel made giving him the land because he had shared in the hardships to settle it. Jacob claimed that the land belonged to his father, Cornelius as the eldest son of Abel, and did John not have the right to sell it. The high court finally ruled in favor of Jacob.

Jacob Westfall does not appear on the roll.47
  June 24, 1778 John Neville took command of the 8th Virginia on 10 December. At the Battle of Monmouth, New Jersey, the 4th, 8th, and 12th Virginia Regiments fought as a converged battle group under the command of James Wood.48

  Feb. 7, 1786 Jacob Westfall Senior of Hardy County, Virginia for fifty pounds of Virginia money paid by Jacob Westfall Junior of the same county and state, sells his title and claim by virtue his father's will and the purchase from his brother Isaac Westfall, ninety-five acres in Lord Fairfax's Manor on the South Branch and bounded by Mr. John Westfall's land on one side and Joseph Petty's land on the other side; the land is in a legal dispute with John Singleton; if Jacob Westfall Junior wins his suite against Singleton, the land goes to him except the share left to brother Zachariah "by virtue of my father's will"; if Jacob Westfall Junior recovers the land and purchases brother Zachariah’s part then the land is to be conveyed to Jacob Westfall Junior.

The deed indicates the land is in dispute over ownership by John Singleton.38 The "Jr." only means the younger Jacob Westfall. The older Jacob Westfall of Hardy County was the Jacob Westfall who married Judith Hornbeck. There seems to be at least three Jacob Westfalls in Hampshire and Hardy counties. It is unclear to me which, if any, is our Jacob.

In witness whereof, we have herunto set our hands and seals this 28th day of January, 1793. The condition of the above obligation is, that whereas the above Bound Jacob Westfall hath this day by the court of the said county of Randolph, been appointed clerk of the Court for the said County. If, threfore, the said Jacob Westfall doth duly and faithfully execute his office, and doth not, at any time, remove or carry, or suffer to be removed or carried out of the said county, the Records and papers of the Court whereof he is clerk, or any part threof, except in cases allowed by law, then this obligation to be void, otherwise to remain in full force and virtue in law. Signed, sealed, and acknowledged in open Court. JACOB WESTFALL [seal] HEZEKIAH ROSEKRONS [seal] CORN'L WESTFALL [seal] Teste: ROBERT MAXWELL, Sen'r Magistrate. 42 Hezekiah Rosenkrons [Rosencranse] was married to Margaret Westfall, granddaughter of Jacob Westfall of New York and the daughter of Cornelius and Elizabeth Westfall, thus the brother-in-law of Jacob and Zachariah Westfall. This information is derived from the will of Jacob Westfall of NY.26 The evidence is strong that this Jacob Westfall (Cornelius/Abel/Johannes/Juriaen) is our ancestor, although W. Lynn Hutchison did not think so.36

"Ordered that Joseph Westfall and Jonathon Westfall orphan children of Jacob Westfall Deceased be bound by the overseers of the poor unto Hezikiah Rosacrons until they arrive to full age according to law."

"Where as Joseph Westfall of this County appears to be insane and likely to become chargeable to the Commonwealth, and Zacariah Westfall came into court and said that he would give bond with security to keep the said Joseph Westfall from becoming chargeable to this county and use him the said Joseph Westfall in a good humane and friendly manner and take good care of him. Where upon the said Zacariah Westfall with Nicholas Gibson and Abraham Cutright his securities and acknowledge themselves bound unto James Munroe Esq. Governor of the Commonwealth..." [signed] Zacariah Westfall, Nicholas Gibson, Abraham Cutright. It could be that Joseph had epilepsey or some other disability considered insanity in the early 19th century. This may explain his death at the age of 26.44
