The Albertsons of New
ALBERTSON Amsterdam came from Stemeyck, Holland, early in the history of the colony. Jan Albertson, his wife, and six children, were here previous to 1663, and settled at Wythnyck, near King- ston, New York, and June 17, 1663, he, with his wife and a young daughter, were killed by the Indians, the mother being pregnant at the time. Jacob Olbertson ( Albertson) was an emissary to the Indians at Rockaway, Long Island, from New Amsterdam, in 1643. Hans Albertson was a citizen of New Amsterdam in 1657. Hendrick Albertson and his wife came over in the ship "De Houthuyn," arriving at Fort Orange, now Albany, August 13, 1642. He was the first ferryman across the Hudson river at that place.
The family name is spelled many different ways, all believed to be descendants of the same ancestry. It is a most difficult problem to search out family history in the early Dutch records, as there were many strange customs, one of which was that a man at the time of his marriage might, if he so desired, adopt the name of his wife, or that of her mother-in-law. and the records show that this was frequently done. At one period one branch of the fam- ily on Long Island were known for a time by the name of Terhune, and later by the original name. Also, the method of spelling was unique often. The New Jersey branch of the fam- ily, which traces the ancestry back to Wil- liam Albertson, of Long Island, has a care- fully compiled genealogy which appears in the "Daily Union History of Atlantic City," New Jersey.
(I) Albert Albertson owned land in Ames- port, Long Island, in 1655. He is thought to have been a brother of the Jan Albertson who was killed by the Indians at Wythnyck, near Kingston. New York, June 17. 1663. Also, he was doubtless a brother of Elbert Elbertson, whose land joined his, and of Hans Albertson,
