| Notes |
- Philip Casier (1614-1663) and his wife, Maria Taine (1620-?) werefromCalais. France. They were French Huguenots, and their ancestry mayhavebeen Walloon. The Walloons were a French-speaking group of peoplewholived in Belgium and France and who were descended from the Celts.Toescape religious persecution, Philip and Maria emmigrated toMartinque,an island in the West Indies @1835. They had a family there,butreligious upheaval eventually drove them back to Europe where theylivedin Sluis, Belgium. In 1660 the Casier family emmigrated to theDutchcolony of New Amsterdam, which is now New York City. There theyacquiredland and farmed in the area now known as East Harlem. Philipwas a leaderin the community and his untimely death in 1663 wasmourned by all. Theyhad several children. I know that their son JeanCazier (1645-1709) was abaker and lived in what is now New York City.Later he moved to StatenIsland and farmed. He was married to ElizabethDamen in 1679. They hadchildren, among them, Philip Cazier (1684-1761)who married CatherineHooglandt. This family moved to theDelaware/Maryland area about 1730.They had numerous children,including son Jacob, born in 1726. Jacobfought in the Americanrevolution along with his son John Cazier, both ofthem serving inCaptain Hazlett's company. Jacob married an heiress,Rebecca VanBebber, and the Caziers lived well on her family's land inDelaware, onwhich they raised tobacco and food with the help of slavelabor. Ithink that one of their children or grandchildren may have beenmyancestor, but Ihave not proven that yet. Today there are CaziersinAmerica, many of them descended from Philip and CatherineHooglandt'schildren. Lucy Russell
