• Notes

  Hendrick had five sons who served with the British Army during the American Revolution. Although there have been no records found of "heroism" - one of them was taken prisoner. The family lost all of its property and farms in New York because they sided with the losing forces, so the British paid to resettle them in Canada. On April 26, 1783, a fleet of twenty ships carried 7,000 Loyalists from New York City to Nova Scotia. We don't really know exactly how many members of Hendrick's family made that trip, but we do know that by 1783 he must have had a large number of descendants: figure Hendrick had five sons and just one of them, Jan (John), the eldest, himself had nine sons! Henrick also had two brothers (Jan, born 1734 and Robben, born 1737). "Hendrick BELYEA, was christened 19 Apr 1720 in (Tarrytown) Phillipsburgh, Westchester Co., NY, in the Old Dutch Church of Sleep Hallow. (This was the church of the story "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow", a classic written by Washington Irving.) He was a son of Jan BOULIER and Helena WILLIAMS. Henry married there, first on 24 Nov 1739, to Deborah CARPENTER, of North Castle, Westchester Co., NY; the daughter of Nathaniel CARPENTER and Abigail FOWLER. She died before Mar 1755 in Tarrytown, Westchester Co., NY. "His second marriage was in Mar 1755 to Angelica (STORM) Belyea, christened 20 Jun 1730 in Tarrytown, Westchester Co., NY, daughter of Jan STORM and Rachael DeREVIER. She was the widow of Abraham Jurckse/Yerxa, and her son, John, by that marriage also came to NB as a Loyalist. Angelica was said to have died abt 1804 in Greenwich Par., Kings Co., NB, buried in Greenwich Par., Kings Co., NB. "Hendrick/Henry died 1802 in Greenwich Par., Kings Co., NB, buried in Greenwich Par., Kings Co., NB." -- From GENERATIONS, the newsletter for the New Brunswick Genealogical Society, by Cleadie Barnett, 27 Dec 1998. The family's name lives on in the geography of New Brunswick in the form of "Belyea's Cove on Washademoak Lake in the Saint John River Valley, and also in the name of "Belyea's Point".
