Notes:

His father is not Nicholas as was originally given but is proven to be Jean by the following marriage record: "Niclaes de Puwy, camletworker, "youngman" (single man) from near Atrecht (NETHERLANDS), living at the Minnebroedergraft, assisted by (2064) Jean de Puwy, his father at the Langegratf married 6 Oct 1656 at the Waalse Kerk (Walloon Church), Leiden; (1033) Cathalijna Renard, widow of Maerten Piertersz, living in the Veruwerstreet, assisted by Marija Reijniers, her sister, at the Oude Chingel"

Most likely they were religious protesters before coming to America, and belonged to the Huguenots who were ready to give up everything for the sake of religious freedom !Founders & Patriots of America: (in Marsha L. Pilger Correspondance 11-95) Vol 32: 214-215:

May have been living in Paris, France before immigrating ....

source ????? !FHL#509179 De Puy page 1: Nicholas and Francois emigrated to New Amsterdam as boys or young men.

They were forced to flee from their homes in Paris in 1651 victims of the religious persecution. They left a home of wealth and prominence during the night upon hearing thru a friend that they were to be made prisoners.

Paris is probably the birthplace and Artois and Calais were homes for a time, but not their place of birth ???? (Info from Depew book includes: Nicholas Depui I, 1625-1691.

Huguenot:
fled to Artois region of France :
fled to the Netherlands temporarily (note children Jan and Moyse and maybe Catherine - stepdaughter from 1st marriage of his wife) ) born there)

Admitted as member of Walloon church congregation in Leiden, Netherlands. in April 1649.

On 6 October 1656 he married Catherina Renard (DeVos) 1640-1705 in the Waalse Kerk in Leiden, Netherlands

Catherine ,who was the six year old child, was his step-daughter born 1656 (his wife Catherine had been married before to Martin Pieroth/Piertez de Weck)

Nicolaes DePuy (Dupuis) came to the New Netherlands in the ship Purmerland Church,with three children aged 6, 5 and 2. and settled at New Amsterdam, New York in October 1662.

1662 - settled on Long Island ?

A patent was issued by Dutch Governor from 1630-1664 on March 19, 1663 where he applied for land on Staten Island with seed grain and victuals for 6 months. The grant was a plantation. He apparently did not "live" on the plantation, but in town.

He was settled on the Herren Graft (Broad St.) when in Oct 1664 he swore allegience to the King of Great Britian (after takeover of New Netherland colony by the British).

In 1664 and 1665 he was appointed "Beer and Weighhouse porter" a rather important position lot of the times.

In 1673, he joined Capt. Cornelius Steenieyck's Militia.

In 1677 he and his wife were members of the Dutch Reformed Church of New Utrecht, New York and were entered as removed to Bergen, N. J. Dutch Church of which place admitted them to membership in 1682. Seems rather mysterious that they would join the church in Bergen, NJ if they were living NY or Staten Island .....

03 Oct 1685 will written up (in Dutch).

1691 - died, probably in Staten Island ?

1691 his will was proven in New York.

He lists his wife and 5 of his children by name: Note: Abstract of the will of Nicolas Dupuis of NY dated Oct 13, 1685, proven Jul 14, 1691, leaves all his estate, real and personal to his wife, Catalina, during her widowhood. In case she married, half to go to his children., vis. Jan, Moses, Aaron, Susana and Nicolas.
