A Walloon Family in America by Emily Johnston De Forest, 1914
"Entered in the church record at Amsterdam as a worsted-dyer from Robez (Roubaix),
not very far from Avensnes. He and his first wife, Jacquemine Noiret, had joined
the Waloon church at Leyden in 1617. It is likely that he and Jesse de Forest,
being fellow dyers in the same city, were friends even at that early day.
Apparently Philippe and his wife moved to Amsterdam, for several of their
children were baptized there, the last one in 1620. It was evidently there, too,
that Jacquemine died; for in 1621 in Amsterdam, Philippe due Trieux was
betrothed to Susanna du Chesne. There is not much doubt that Philippe and
Susanna were among the colonists who came to New Amsterdam on board the New
Netherland in 1623. He was long known there as the "Court Messenger" or Marshal,
as we should call him now. In 1638 (or possibly earlier, as the official records
prior to that time are missing he owned a detached hillock on the shore of the
East River overlooking "Smit's Vly", which is still called "The Swamp." At the
times of his daughter's marriage he was, however, living in a house which he had
built on "Bever Graft" (Beaver Street).
In 1637, when the de Forests arrived in New Amsterdam, Philippe du Trieux was
quite an old inhabitant, and we may be sure that he had a warm welcome ready for
Jesse de Forest's children. Indeed, it is on record that almost as soon as they
established themselves in the Muscoota bouwery Philippe furnished the family
with pumpkins!"
