From Van Valkenburg to Vollick & Follick: Isaac Van Valkenburg, aka Vollick & Follick, the Loyalist
©by Lorine McGinnis Schulze ISAAC VAN VALKENBURG aka VOLLICKIsaac Vollick born 1732 Schoharie, New York, was a United Empire Loyalist who came to Upper Canada from the United States during the American Revolution. He was the illegitimate son and only child of Isaac Van Valkenburg and Maria Bradt.It is through Isaac the Loyalist that Follick and Vollick descendants claim their Mohawk heritage. Isaac's great-great-grandmother was Ots-Toch a half French, half Mohawk woman who married Cornelis Van Slyke a Dutchman who settled in Albany New York in 1627 Although no record of a marriage has been found for Isaac and Maria, their son Isaac used his father's surname until 1782. During his years as a private in Butler's Rangers, Isaac's surname changed from Van Valkenburg, meaning in Dutch, 'from the castle of the falcons' (van=from; valken=falcons; burgh=castle), to Valk or Valck which means 'falcon'. It appears that Valk was his nickname and on being recorded by English clerks, a vowel was inserted between the final 'l' and 'k' making the surname Valic or Volick. Over the years, the surname was written as Vollick, Volic, Valic, Valck, Valk, Volk and Follick (the German/Dutch accent making a 'v' sound like 'f' to English ears). My line, descended
from his son Cornelius, took the Vollick surname. His son Storm used the Follick surname.
TimelineIn 1779 Isaac Von Volkenberg and family were listed as residing in Pte. Claire, Quebec and employment was listed as "in billets". There were "126 souls" residing in Pte. Claire. Most of the families listed with Isaac came from Albany and Charlotte, New York
