  Philippe du Trieux was born circa 1588 at Roubaix, France. He married Jaquemyne Noirett on 11 April 1615 at Amsterdam, Holland. He married Susanna du Chesne in 1621 at Leiden, Holland. He died on 8 September 1653 at New Amsterdam, New Netherland, possibly killed by Indians.
  Philippe du Trieux was also known as Philip de Truy. Emigrated from Leiden, Holland to New Amsterdam in 1624. He was a appointed Court Messenger by Director Kieft in 1638. Received patent for lands in 'Smits Valley' in 1640. Ref: "Hudson and Mohawk Valleys", P. 272 - Truax - The patronymic De Trieux or Du Trieu is probably derived from the Village of Trieu (in southern Belgium). It is from De Trieux that the names Du Trieu, De Truy, Truax, etc. have been evolved. Individuals bearing the original form of the name abound in the Walloon Church Registers of Holland as early as 1584, wandering from city to city and from country to country, evidently in search of business employment. Anciently the Walloons were the race who inhabited parts of France, the Alps and the Danubian Valley. They eagerly embraced the Reformation, which was eventually crushed out by Charles V and Philip II, and hundreds of thousands of the Walloons sought refuge in neighboring countries, one hundred thousand exiled families settled in Holland. The Netherlands historian, Asher, declares that the whole greatness of Holland sprang from her hospitality to these exiled Walloon families.
  
  Philippe was a dyer from Robey (Robaix) which was located in North France (Flanders in Philippe's day) and well-known for its dye works. It is not known who Philippe's parents were. An entry in the record of the Walloon Church at Leyden, Holladn says:
  
  "April 22, 1601. Jacquemyne, widow of Philippe Du Trieu, received into Church of Leyden, by letter from Norwich, England"
  
  It is suspected by some that this Jaquemyne and her deceased husband, Philippe Du Trieu, were the parents of Philippe Du Trieux who emigrated to New Netherland in 1624. However, no proof has surfaced yet to substantiate this theory. To support this theory, some suggest that the death of his mother was what prompted Philippe to move to Leyden from Amsterdam in 1617.
  
  The deceased husband mentioned in the Leyden Church record seems to have come from Norwich, England. A colony of Flemish weavers had introduced the manufacture of woolens at Worsted, England which is about 13 miles from Norwich. This suggests that it is possible this suspected father of Philippe
  was a worsted worker. It is further theorized that upon his death, his widow returned to the continent and her presence in Leyden may have brought her son there to live with her.
  
  Ref: "The House of Truax" - Descendants of Philippe du Trieux, 1586-1653, edited by Howard S.F. Randolph from a manuscript by T. de Truax in the possession of the New York Genealogical and biographical Society, P. 336: Quote: "The date that Philippe du Trieux and his wife, Jacquemine Noiret became members of the church at Leydon is given as August 15, 1617, instead of October 1617, as given on P.209 in the NY Gen. & Biog. Record, Vol. LVII.
  
  The important act of betrothal of July 17, 1621, settles for all time any controversy as to whether there were two different people by the name of Philippe du Trieux, as he is definitely mentioned as the widower of Jacquemyne Noiret, about to marry Susanna du Chesne. Her age is given as twenty years, so she was born about 1601. His age is given as thirty-four years so he was born about 1587." Unquote.
  (perhaps both mother and daughter-in-law had the same first name?)
  
  In any event, Phillipe did not stay long in Leyden. He was received into the Church at Leyden in October 1617 and by December 31, 1617 he was being received into the church at Amsterdam with a letter from Leyden. However, he was in Leyden long enough to come into contact with the future Pilgrims and surely the idea of emigrating to the New World was presented in a favorably light to him there. Philippe is thought to have returned to Leyden since it was the Leyden Church which granted him and his family letters of attestations on March 9, 1624 (as "pour Westinde" which meant he intended to go west) to present to his new church at his destination. Two and a half weeks after Philippe and his family received letters from their church (March 28, 1624), the colonists were to go to New Netherland met and were given instructions from the Van Rappard document (now in the Huntington Library in California). It is not known if Philippe and his family were among these. No passenger list of the voyage of "The New Netherland" is known to have survived but it is generally accepted that Philippe Du Trieux and his family were on board among the 30 families which were mostly Walloons.
  
  The Captain of "The New Netherland" (Nieu Nederlandt) was Cornelis Jacobz May of Hoorn. They sailed in the beginning of March and went by the Canary Islands, steered toward the west coast where they gained a west wind which took them to the river called Rio De Montaagnes (River Mauretius). The ship sailed up to the Maykens 44 leagues. They built a fort named "Orange" which had 4 bastions on an island they called Castle Island. Wiley believes that all of the Walloons of the company settled on Long Island at Waal-Bogt (Wallon's Bay) which is now Wallabout. However, there is no definite account of the disposition of these families.
  
  More people came in 1625 bringing tools and livestock. In May 1626 another band of colonists arrived along with Peter Minuit who had been given the power to be Governor and organize a government. He built Fort Amsterdam on the southernmost point of the island and bought the whole island of Manhattan from the Indians for about 60 guilders (or what is commonly accepted these days as being about $24.00).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Philippe was in New Amsterdam during Minuit's Administration (1624-1629). When he first came to New Amsterdam he built a house on Bever Craft (Beaver Street). This was one of the first (if not the first) house to be built on Bever Craft. He was appointed Court Messenger in 1638 by Governor Kieft (who became Governor in March 1638). The salary for the Court Messenger (or Marshall) was "two thirds as large as was received by the Magistrate". In 1640 he received a patent for land in Smits Vly (or Valley), although it is known that this parcel of land was in his possession as early as 1638. The land adjoined Secretary Van Tienhoven's farm and occupied partly by Fulton Market in later years. A map of New Amsterdam as it was in about 1644 shows a large tract of land on the east side of the island marked "land of Philip de Truye". It is assumed that Philippe was living on this land at Smith's Valley because of a contract he made with Claes Groen and Pieter Lievesen to graze their goats for a year at the cost of one guilder per year per goat. This contract was entered upon the Register of the Secretary of the Council. Philippe leased or contracted to sell this house to Nicholas Stilwel. In 1649 the records show Nicolas Stilwel promising to furnish Henry Bresar with palisades enough to fence the premises along the River Road and within two years to furnish enough to fence the other sides of the land. In consideration for which Bresar acknowledges that he "has taken off the hands of Nicolaes Stillwell the land and dwelling house in question". Bresar seems to have remained in possession of the place until 1653 when he built a new house a short distance beyond the ferry on some land which he had acquired ther and the former dwelling house of Philip De Truy, after one or two intermediate changes, was bought in August 1654 by Thomas Hall.

According to the Truax Family Group Record, Philippe and his second son, Philippe (born in 1619) were killed by Indians on 8 Sep 1653.

Philippe Du Trieux was murdered by Indians as was his son Philippe before September 8, 1653. Some believe that Indians were not the guilty parties. Philippe's exact date of death is not known. The records show that on September 8, 1653 "Carel Van Brugge, Pltf. vs. Isaac D'Foreest, Deft. as Vendue-Master of the personal estate of Pieter Cornelisen, mill-wright, demands payment of fl. 59.8 for goods purchased at public vendu. Deft. acknowledges having purchased the goods, but says, in the name of Philip D'Truy's widow, that her son Philip (who was also murdered) had earned fl.100 monthly wages of Pieter Cornelisen deceased, which are still due him. Deft. is ordered to prove at the next court day his demand against the State of the above-named Pieter Cornelisen deceased." On October 23, 1654, Susanna De Scheve, widow of Phillippe De Truwe, late Court Messenger at New Amsterdam, confers power of attorney upon her son-in-law Isaac De___.

Philippe could have been dead as early as March 16, 1651 when a certified copy of a note of Alexander Boyer was made in favor of Susanna Du Truy. It is doubtful that she would have had to conduct this business if her husband had still been living.

The Du Trieux surname has been corrupted to Truax, Truex, De Truye among other spellings in the records.
