- PIETER QUACKENBOSCH, the earliest ancestor of the Quackenbush family in America, came from Oestgeest, near Leiden, Holland, about the year 1660, with his wife Maritje , and their infant son Reynier. It is probable that he did not stop at New Amsterdam, but proceeded at once to Albany, then called Beverwyck, where his second son Johannes was born about 1662. (Pearson's Early Settlers of Albany Co.) In 1668 he purchased a brick yard from Adrisen van Ilpendam in the town of Beverwyck, as shown by the following deed:
