Biography
B. in Flanders, now part of France
M. 13 Jan 1664 in Kingston, New Netherlands
Wife: Grietje Hendricks
D. 1713 in Kingston, New York
Emigrated: 1657
Wallerand Dumont was a Huguenot who was said to be from a place called "Coomen" in Flanders; researchers believe this was in the region now known as "Département Nord, Pas-de-Calais" in France. In 1657, Wallerand migrated from the Netherlands to New Amsterdam as an adleborst (cadet) in a military company sent by the Dutch West India Company. It's likely he arrived on the ship ?St. Jean Baptiste? in December of that year.
By 1660, Wallerand settled in Esopus (later known as Kingston), a community of Dutch emigrants in what is now Ulster County, New York. Probably he went there as a soldier, since the town was made into a fort or stockade by the orders of Peter Stuyvesant. It was known that Wallerand built his house there in 1663 or 1664, most likely made of logs. Two of Wallerand?s sisters came over from Holland in 1663 on a ship called "Spotted Cow."
On January 13, 1664, Wallerand married Grietje Hendricks. They had seven children born between 1664 and 1679. Wallerand was important to the community; he was one of the military council during the second Esopus war with the Indians in 1663, he was magistrate from May 1669 to May 1671, and he was deacon in the Reformed Dutch church in 1673. He was naturalized December 2, 1687. In 1709 he was assessed for taxes and was rated at £320 with a house having two chimneys ? a sign of social standing.
He died sometime in 1713 and his will was proven September 13th of that year. In it he named his wife, three sons and three daughters.
