Notities over Joris Janssen Rapalje

Joris Jansen Rapelje (28 April 1604 – 21 February 1662/63) was a member of the Council of Twelve Men in the Dutch West India Company colony of New Netherland. He and his wife Catalina (Catalyntje) Trico (1605–1689) were among the earliestsettlers in New Netherland.

Joris Rapelje and Catalina Trico were married January 21, 1624, at the Walloon Church of Amsterdam. Rapelje, an illiterate 19-year-old textile worker whose origin was noted in the registry as 'Valencenne' (Valenciennes, SpanishNetherlands), and his 18-year-bride, had no family present to witness the ceremony. Four days later, on 25 January, the couple departed from Amsterdam, bound for North America. They were traveling aboard the first ships to bring immigrantsand workers to New Netherland.
The Rapalje family were first employed at Fort Orange, in what would eventually become Albany, New York. Fort Orange was being erected by the Dutch West India Company as a trading post on the west bank of the Hudson River. It became thecompany's official outpost in the upper Hudson Valley. The families aboard these ships were principally Wallons, French-speaking residences of Valenciennes, Roubaix, Hainaut and related sites, now in Belgium’s province of Wallonia andFrance's region of Nord-Pas-de-Calais, but then part of the Spanish Netherlands.
By 1626, Dutch authorities relocated most settlers from Fort Orange to Fort Amsterdam at the southern end of Manhattan Island. The Rapeljes established a residence near the East River, and were among the earliest purchasers of land inManhattan, later building two houses on Pearl Street near the Fort. In 1637, Joris Jansen Rapalje purchased about 335 acres (1.36 km2) around Wallabout Bay in what is now Brooklyn. Rapelje's son-in-law Hans Hansen Bergen acquired a largetract adjoining Rapelje's. Today the land where the Rapalje’s farm stood is an industrial park under the direction of the Brooklyn Navy Yard. In 1641, Joris Jansen Rapalie was one of the Council of Twelve Men representing Manhattan,Breukelen and Pavonia. From 1655 through 1660, he was a magistrate of Brooklyn. He died in Breuckelen, New Netherland.

Family:
Joris Jansen Rapelje and Catalina Trico were the parents of 11 children, including Sarah Rapelje, the first child of European parentage born in New Netherland. Sarah Rapelje's chair is in the collection of the Museum of the City of NewYork, and is thought to have been brought to New Netherland by the family. Annetje, who married Martin Ryerson and had many children one of which was Cathalyntie who married Paulus Vanderbeek, Grandson of Master Paulus Vanderbeeck, a DWICship surgeon and Brooklyn's first resident doctor, who is also known to have struck Catalina Trico to the ground according to court records from January 1645. Jannetje, another of Joris Jansen Rapelje's daughters, married anotherVanderbeek; Rem Jansen Vanderbeek, whose descendants took the name Remsen and who became a leading New York mercantile family. Because of the number of their descendants, author Russell Shorto has called Joris Jansen and his wife Catalina"the Adam and Eve" of New Netherland as the number of their descendants has been estimated at about a million.
Brooklyn's Rapelye Street is named for the family. The spelling of the Rapelje family name varied over the years to include Rapelye, Rapalje, Rapareilliet, Raparlié, Rapalyea, Raplee, Rapelyea, Rapeleye, Rappleyea as well as others.Rapelje, Montana is named for a descendant, and an early descendant, Capt. Daniel Rapelje, founded the settlement which became St. Thomas, Ontario.
