• Occupation. I was a sea captain of a sloop. skipper and owner with Jan Joosten of yacht "The Flower of Gelder" 1661 Fort Orange (Albany),New York \super 2\nosupersub

Lucas Andrieszen was a skipper. He and his partner, Jan Joosten, bought a yacht called "Eentracht" (Union) from Jacob Janszen Flodder 9 Nov. 1661. The bill of sales can still be found among the records of Albany, N.Y. They also owned another yacht called "The Flower of Gelder" which they sold before 1663. They carried goods of various kind between Boston, Mass., and New Amsterdam and between New Amsterdam and New Oringen (Albany). There is a record of a law suit to which they were a party, concerning some cloth which was stolen on the docks at Albany after or while being unloaded from their yacht. There is also the record of another law suit at Albany over a boat which Lucas Andrieszen, skipper, had seized from a man who owed him a debt. The court held that Lucas could keep the boat till the debt was paid. Lucas Andrieszen and Jan Joosten, apparently together, joined the Dutch Church 17 Jan. 1666.
When the English captured New Amsterdam in 1674, they prepared or had prepared a list of all real estate. This list shows that Lucas Andries, a person of Dutch extraction, owned a house, worth $2,500, on present west side of Broadway between Battery Place and Rector Street, then known as a part of the Marketfield and Broadway. In one of the first tax lists of New York City for 1676 Lucas Andries paid taxes to the amount of one pound and five shillings. A later membership list of the Dutch Church listed the members by streets, Lucas Andrieszen on Broadway.

• Destruction of Hurley. At the destruction of the village of Hurley, on 7 June 1663, by the Indians, two of the children of Albert Heymanse ROOSA, with 43 others, women and children, were taken captive. The story of the rescue of these captives by the colonial forces under command of Captain Martin KREGIER is one of the most interesting episodes in the history of early New York.

In a hearing of a complaint against Frederick PHILLIPSEN, Nicholaes MEYER, Luykas ANDRIESZEN and others to the Council of New Netherland, the following testimony was given: "8th Xober, 1663 - Also send a convey down in the morning with grain to the river side, which on returning brought up the Wappinger Sachem and his wife, Splitnose, the Indian last taken by us. Which Sachem brought with him two captive Christian children, stating to us that he could not, pursuant to his previous promise of the 29th of November, bring along with him the remainder, being still five Christian captives, because three were at their hunting grounds and that he could not find them, but that another Indian was out looking for them; the two others are in his vicinity; the squaw who keeps them prisoner will not let them go, because she is very sick and hath no children, and expects soon to die; and when he can get Albert Heyman's oldest daughter, who is also at the hunting ground, and whom he hath already purchased and paid for, then he shall bring the remainder of the Christian captives along. For the two Christian Children which he hath brought with him; an Indian child is given him, being a little girl, and three pieces of cloth, with which he was content."

• Biography. Luykas Andrieszen (John Bell Hood's great X 3 grandfather) was the son of Andries Luykaszen (Hood's great X 4 grandfather) and Jennetje Sebyns, and both father and son are both identified frequently as "Skipper" or "Captain" in numerous court, church, marine and civil records of the early Dutch colony. Both sailed the waters of northern New England and the Hudson River as merchant marine ships captains, appearing to have been prosperous and prominent early colonial citizens.

• Biography. Luykas was one of the earliest white children born in the former Holland Dutch colony of New Netherland. Luykas worked for his father-in-law, who operated his own ships, and they were a prominent family in the early life of New Amsterdam and
the New Netherland Dutch Colony. Luykas became a well-known sailing ship master, or skipper, in his time. The New York Dutch records contain large amount of reords on them. They had a daughter named Cathrina Andries.
