Douglas van Buskirk citing Our Nordic-Viking Roots by Gene Van Sickle. Peter Stuyvesant met Zacharias Sickelen in Curacao and took him as a cadet coporal in 1655 to Fort Orange. Citation by Douglas van Buskirk personal comment from Gene Van Sickle who quotes from the book Colonial Lineages in America "... Ferdinandus Van Sicklen, Born in Ghent, Belgium, 1635 settled near Coney Island ..." "... There was however one Zacharia Van Sicklen also born in Ghent, Belgium and lived in Vienna, town of Utrech Provence of Holland. Zach, undoubtedly was a cousin of Ferdinandus, was a cadet with the Dutch West India Co. And came to America in 1647 as a guard and orderly of Peter Stuyvesant who was to become Governor of New Amsterdam. Zach was first stationed at Ft. Orange (Albany, N.Y.) And married Anna Volkenburgh. After some of their children were born Zach dropped the Van and spelled his name SICKLES, however at least on of his sons retained the VAN.No firm record has been found to indicate Zacharias place of birth. According to Rosalie Bailey in her book Pre Revolutionary Dutch Houses she lists Vienna, Austria as his home. In the Ancestry of Franklin Merriam Peabody he is listed as Zacharias Von Weenan and as from Vianen, Utrech Province, Holland. Vianen is a small town approximately ten miles south of Utrech, Holland. 'Zacharias settled in Albany and in 1660 married Anna Van Valkenberg, the daughter of Lambert Van Valkenberg. They had nine known children. The oldest, Robert was born in 1664 at Albany and died 27 Dec 1729. Lambert, born in 1666 died 1722, preferred to be called Van Sickel after living with the Van Sickel line in New Jersey. Zacharias born 1670, Anna Elizabeth, Maria, Thomas born 1680, Fetjye ,Griee christened in 1684 and Leah born 1687 were their other children. Around 1692 Zacharias Sr moved to New York to be with his son Robert and in 1693 married Maria Brevoort. They had a child Sacharias, born 1698 in New York. Zacharias Sr received a land grant in 1669 for 1000 acres near Nyack, New York that later was called Sickletown. Zacharias was a cadet in the service of the West India Trading Co. And came from the island of Curaco with (Gov.) Peter Stuyvesant, in 1646 as a corporal at Fort Orange 1670. Freeman in New Amsterdam 1698: was granted land on Whitehall Street, N.Y.
