Notes for JELLIS DOUWSE FONDA:
Said to have immigrated to New York abt 1642. It is claimed he was a whaler. By 1651 he was living in Renneslaerswyck, for on 19 Oct. 1651,the Court gave him permission to distill liquor in Greenbuch is at house of Evert Pells. By 1654 he appeared in Beverwyck (Albany). His wife appears in court records winning a petty lawsuit over a petticoat there in 1656. He was married in Holland.
This was given to me by Steve Cunnion,(cunnion@@usuhsb.usuhs.mil)descendant of Hendrick, b. 1769, s/o Luykas,& bro. of our Jacob:
"My g-g-Aunt Geraldine Van Ornam VA is 95, Essex Co., NY, (17 Apr1997). Edmund (Hendrick's son) moved there from Dutchess Co., NY. I have a note that Hendrick's birth is recorded in an 1828 bible of Mrs.Clyde Richer, 422 Seaman St., St. Louis, MI. I think Hendrick's brother, Abraham, also went to Essex since I have an Abam there about 1789 that would fit.."
"One of the DOUWSE family was Gerard DOUW, a famous student of Rembrant. the Smithsonian had some of his paintings on display last year. Our line was his sister."
Got this from the book "The Fondas" written by Peter Collier:
Jellis Fonda had arrived in New Amsterdam in 1642. One of his great-grandsons, Douw Fonda, had migrated into the wilds of what was now northern New York State in search of open land and settled on a spot by the Mohawk River; he gave the little town that grew up around him his family name, Fonda.
