Biography

Frederick de Veaux (or De Vaux/Deveaux) was born abt. 1645 in either La Rochelle or Aunis, Poitou-Charentes, France. As a Protestant, he suffered severe persecution there until he finally fled to Mannheim, Germany, where he obtained citizenship and must have been married because he arrived in New Amsterdam in 1675 or 1676 as a young widower. His brother, Nicholas de Veaux, was already a resident.

 

He married Hester Tourneur in 1677 and received land from her father, Daniel Tourneur. The marriage resulted in 12 or more children being born. Frederick purchased several additional tracts of land in Fordham and New Rochelle, Westchester County. He died in November, 1743, in New Rochelle, according to Chamberlain.
