The census of Kings County was taken in 1698 - Flatbush had a total of 476 people (men-62, women-72, children-263, apprentices-8 and slaves-71). Anthony DuChesne was not among those listed in Flatbush (or any other of the towns in Kings County) suggesting he had relocated before this time to Staten Island (supported by his sale of land on Staten Island in 1698.)¹⁵

Anthony du Cheen of Staten Island sold 4 acres of land to Thomas Coone of Richmond County, yeoman, on 14 May 1698. The land was on the Fresh Kill, south of the creek joining to land of Anthony du Cheen. He signed with his mark. Witnesses were Teunis Egbertsen, Joseph Bastido and John Morgan.¹⁶

Some Dutch names can have a prefix such as van ("of/from"), de/het/'t ("the"), or der ("of the") and occasionally de Chene or de Chesne appears in the records.

Duchesne is pronounced either Du-shen or Du-shain, so it’s easy to see how the various phonetic spellings could occur. It’s important to know that Chesne is an Old French word meaning oak in English. In Old Dutch, the equivalent word is Eik and the surnames Den Ryck, De Eycke and Van der Eycke also appear. So, we see this family’s surname in both French and Dutch renditions.

Several of Anthony's children began the use of Dushane as the family name, especially those males who migrated to New Castle County, Delaware.¹⁹

Anthony left a will 3 April 1711 in New York Co, Province of New York, in which "Anthony Dushen" of Staten Island gave to his son Michael his whole estate of a lot and a half of land, a negro boy Mi[?] and all his movables. Michael was to provide for both Anna and Anthony as long as they lived and he was to pay Anthony's debts. The will provided to his son Jerone (stated as eldest son) the land on which he resided but nothing else since he had received his portion some time before. The will gave to son Vallentine 10 pounds, daughter Anna Golders 5 pounds, daughter Jannetie Mangels 5 pounds, daughter Magdelene Clason 5 pounds and daughter Fransentie Egberts 5 pounds. Anthony signed by his mark and the will was witnessed by John Byham[unsure of surname], Barent Simons and Benjamine Cooper. At the probate of the will on 12 May 1712, Anna and Jerone turned down their right of administration of the estate; Michael became administrator and was to provide an inventory by 12 November 1712 and an account by 12 May 1713.^20,21

The land was on the south side of the Fresh Kill bounded on the southwest by land laid out formerly for Daniel Shotwell, being 24 rods by 267 rods containing 409 acres of land and 4 acres of salt meadow, laid out and fronting to the meadow where Jeroom du Chen lived.⁴

Jerome married Catharina Canon.^5,6,7



Jerome DuChesne was named in the will of Anthony DuChesne as his eldest son 3 April 1711 in New York Co, Province of New York.^2,10

Hieronimus D Sÿen and Catharina De fÿen appeared as witnesses at the baptism of Hieronimus, son of Stieven Feteto on 4 May 1714 at the Dutch Reformed Church of Staten Island.⁷

"Jerom Duchain" was one of purchasers of goods at the sale of the estate of Jane Dussosehany [widow of Mark Dussosehany, of Richmond County, yeoman] – Inventory of goods sold at auction on 5 Dec. 1716. Frances [wife of Benjamin Appleby, of New York City, mariner, and daughter of Jane Dussosehany] was appointed administratrix.¹¹

Jerome DuChesne witnessed the birth of Francyntje Clason 5 January 1717/18 in Reformed Dutch Church of Staten Island, Richmond Co, Province of New York.¹²

Hierome de Chesne and Catlyn Canon witnessed the baptism of Henricus, son of Ryk Ryken and Willempje Clement on 15 March 1719 at the Dutch Reformed Church of Staten Island.⁵

The estate of Jerome DuChesne was inventoried 22 April 1736 in New Castle Co, Delaware Colony, and it's clear he was a well-off farmer with his estate's inventory valued at £620.11.8. His dwelling was valued at £300. He also had a number of books including a large Dutch bible. No debts were listed and there were no named individuals listed in the inventory.¹³

Magdaleentje DuChesne was baptized 27 July 1679 in Flatbush Dutch Reformed Church, Flatbush, Kings Co, Province of New York, (entry transcribed as Maria, child of Antoine Du Chesne, Anna Bocque. Witnesses; Laurens Janz, Altie Gillis, w[ife].)² She was the daughter of Anthony DuChesne and Anna Bouquet.^3,2



Magdaleentje married first Jacobus Clason before 23 April 1706.^3,7

On 23 April 1706, Jacobus Classen and Magdalena Classen witnessed the baptism of Jacobus Classen, son of Derek Classen, at the Dutch Reformed Church of Staten Island.⁷ Magdaleentje DuChesne witnessed the baptism of Anthoni DuChesne in 1710 in Reformed Dutch Church of Staten Island, Richmond Co, Province of New York.⁸ Magdaleentje DuChesne was named in the will of Anthony DuChesne as his married daughter Magdelene Clason 3 April 1711 in New York Co, Province of New York.^3,9

Magdaleentje married second John Simson, son of Alexander Simson and Jannetje Stevenese van Voorhees, before 13 May 1721.^1,10



There was a Marytje Claassen who witnessed the baptism of Johannes Egbertsen (parents were Egbert Egbertszen and Francyntje du Chene) on 20 May 1722 at the Dutch Reformed Church of Staten Island. If this was Magdaleentje (who was sister to Francyntje), then she was still married to (or the widow of) Jacobus Claason and not the wife of John Simson. Or, this may be the spouse (or sister) of another Claason - I can find no further records at this time to determine who this Marytje Claassen was.¹²

Considerable documentation links Maria/Magdalene, daughter of Anthony Duchesne, to the Magdaleentje who married John Simson. Her marriage date to John is estimated as circa 1720, shortly before 13 May 1721 when she appeared in a deed with John. The deed of 1721 links Michael Duchesne to John and Magdaleentje and well as the fact that the families lived in the same part of Staten Island.

Magdaleentje's name appeared in a number of different forms in the records - see the image at the end of this paragraph. It appears she used both Marytje/Marietje and some form of Magdaleentje. The one record that causes uncertainty is the baptism record of 1722.

I remain unsure of this wife of John Simson and more research is needed; however, this database shows Magdaleentje Duchesne to be the wife of John Simson for the moment (August 2014.)

Michael DuChesne was born circa 1687 (based on Staten Island census - age 20 in 1706-1709.)^1,2 He was the son of Anthony DuChesne and Anna Bouquet.³

Makel Dushean, age 20, appeared in the 1706-1709 census of Staten Island, as did other Duchesne family members: Jerom Dushean (age 40), francis Dushean, Magdelean Dush[?]n, catherine dushen, Antoin DuShean (boy), and Valentine Dushane (age 27). Based on examining a microfilm of the original records, the ordering of the names on the list was done by household with the first column labeled Men, the second Women, the third Boys and the fourth Girls (not consistent on all pages). If the household contained a married couple then the wife's surname agreed with the husband's surname (not following the old Dutch pattern of the wife keeping her maiden name). For example we can find Jerome Dushean in column one, row 25 and Catherine Dushean in column two, row 20, and Antoin Dushean in column three, row 23 - this constituted Jerome's family at the time. Likewise Michael was in column one, row 10; Francyntje in column two, row 7; Magdaleentje in column two, row 8, suggesting the three siblings resided together with Michael being the male of the house - apparently none were married at this census. Valentine appeared separately on another page of the census with no apparent family, although it's worth noting that this part of the listing was in a different handwriting as though it were copied years later from an earlier list. It's interesting that there was no entry for Anthony Duchesne or his wife. In addition, according to Dutch law a female over age 12 was allowed to marry - unsure if English law in force in the early 18th Century was the same - so a "Girl" was 12 or under and a "Woman" was 13 or older.^1,2,4

Michael DuChesne was named in the will of Anthony DuChesne as his son and administrator 3 April 1711 in New York Co, Province of New York.^3,5

"Mitchell Duchein" appeared in a listing of members of the South Company of the Richmond County Militia under the command of Capt James Pollion.⁶

Michael married Susanna van der Huven.⁷



On 16 July 1721, Michel de Chene and Susanna Vand^r Heven were witnesses to the baptism of Jacobus, son of Jacobus Biebant and Maria Sweems as the Dutch Reformed Church of Staten Island.⁹

Michel du Chene and Susanna Vand^r Hoeven were witnesses to the baptism of Cornelius, son of Johannes Vand^r Hoeven and Anna Sweem on 16 July 1721/22 at the Dutch Reformed Church of Staten Island.¹⁰

Valentine DuChesne was born circa 1680 (based on Staten Island census - age 27 in 1706-1709 as well as baptism in 1681.)¹ He was the son of Anthony DuChesne and Anna Bouquet.²

Valentine DuChesne was also known as Valentine Dushane. He was baptized 3 July 1681 in Flatbush Dutch Church, Flatbush, Kings Co, Province of New York, (parents listed as Antoine du Chesne and Annetje Bocquet; witnesses were Jans V. Pelt and his wife Adriantie Hendriks.)³

Valentine married first Marie Poillon, daughter of Jacques Poillon and Adriannna Crocheron, 10 February 1703/4 in Province of New York.^4,5,6



He was an appraiser for the estate of Francis Martino of Richmond County - Inventory exhibited on 2 June 1708 by Stephen Richards, Abraham Lakeman and Mark Duddasseay (see the 1708 entry for another record relating to Mark Duddasseay). Inventory was written in Dutch. Among items mentioned were a French Bible and a Negro, valued at £35. The appraisers were Jacob Hoftie and Valentejn DuShen. Signed Ducsen. Sworn to before "Justus" Stelwil.⁹

Valentine's name appeared in a road case for Richmond County, showing that his property was in the southwest part of the county, along the main road [present-day Amboy Road]:

[Note: In the following quote "?" appears because The Master Genealogist database does not support Unicode; the "?" is the "long s" and should be read as an "s"]

The estate of Valentine DuChesne was inventoried 12 May 1736 in New Castle Co, Delaware Colony, where Valentine was a well-off farmer with an inventory valued at £308.14.1, including one Negro man, livestock and crops. There was a debt owed the estate by Egbert Egbertson of 7 shillings, 6 pence. Egbertson was married to Francyntje de Chene (Stillwell, Vol. 1, p. 96), sister of Valentine and this indicates Egbertson and Francyntje had also migrated to New Castle County (his probate documents are at the archives.)¹²

John Dulin was a leaseholder on 100 acres of land owned by Henry Fitzhugh at the northern boundary of the old Ravensworth tract in Fairfax County. He is located on the 1760 map as John Dulin and held one slave - his name is located just east of "Widow Dulin." This land is approximately where today's Woodburn Road crosses Accotink Creek and, if the map is accurate, they probably held land adjacent to the creek. They are not far from the home of James Dove, perhaps a mile-and-a-half south of his property. Some of this information was obtained from the papers of Henry Fitzhugh, Ravensworth Rent Lists, held at the Virginia Historical Society, Richmond, Virginia.³

William married Elizabeth [-?-].¹

William Duling and wife Elizabeth completed a lease and release to Thomas Turner for 184 acres in King George County, Virginia on 5 Jun 1735, being paid 30 pounds sterling. Both documents were witnessed by Thomas Stribling, William Thornton Jr and Harry Turner - William Dulin made his mark. Of note is the description of the property, a small part of which was in Westmoreland County: ". . . that tract or parcel of land containing one hundred & eighty four acres beginning upon the land of Peck Cox & Butler at a corner post to the land of Robert Peck Extending thence south eleven degrees & a half west seven poles to a corner hickory to the land of Peter Butler, thence east six degrees north two hundred and twenty eight poles to a marked hickory corner tree in the line of the land of the s^d Butler thence north ten degrees west fifty four poles to a marked white oak corner thence north ten degrees east one hundred & forty poles to a marked hickory standing in the line of the land of Sem [Simon] Cox thence north eighty seven degrees and a half west eight poles to a red oak corner to the land of the s^d Peck thence southwest by south two hundred & eighty poles to the beginning (except an acre part of the s^d land lying on the west side thereof & crossing the ridge road and half thereof to be in Westmoreland County the other in King George County during the natural life of the said William Duling) . . . ." This reservation of land for William "during the natural life" suggests two things: that Thomas Turner was a likely relation to William; and that William was possibly an older person at this time in 1735. This gives pause to the conclusion that this is the William Dulin that migrated to Fairfax County and lived until about 1757? This needs more research.²

William Dulin appeared in the Fairfax County Road Orders for 31 March 1752 and 21 January 1754. By examining other men named in the road order, it's possible to locate the approximate area where William resided - somewhere between today's Annandale, Price's Tavern (intersection of today's Braddock Road and Backlick Road) and Holmes Run - perhaps near today's Lincolnia.³

William left a will 26 November 1756 in Truro Parish, Fairfax Co, Virginia Colony, in which he named his family.
