1 Krieckenbeeck
2 Krol 1. Daniel van Krieckenbeeck came over as supercargo of the yacht. The Honorable Van Krieckenbeeck, for brevity, called Beeck, was commissary here. He was killed by the Indians in 1626 while in command of Fort Orange, along with 3 other men, one being Tymen Bouwensz. There being no Commander, Pieter Barentsen, who usually was sent upwards and along the coast with the sloops, assumed the Command of Fort Orange by order of Director Minuit. 2. Bastiaen Janse Krol Sebastiaen Jansen Crol, or as he assigned himself, Bastiaen Jansz Krol, was born at Harlingen, in Friesland, in 1595, His mother's name was Annetjen Egberts. He married in 1615, at Amsterdam, Annetjen Stoffel's daughter, from Eesens, aged 21. The date of his death is not known. Documents Relating to New Netherland 1624-1626, in the Henry E. Huntington Library. Translated and Edited by A.J.F. van Laer, (c)1924, p 258-9. 1624 Return voyage Sailed from New Netherland June 16, 1624 Arrived in Amsterdam December 12, 1624. Arriving somewhat late, but it wasted time in the Indian Islands to catch fish and did not catch any, so lost this opportunity. The translation is as follows: "On leaving there, the course lies for the west wind, and having got it, to the Bermudas and so along the channel in a short time towards Patria. The Yacht, the Mackerel, sailed out last year on the 16 June and arrived yonder on the 12th of December." Documentary History of the State of New York, E.B. O'Callaghan, 1849, Vol III Pg 35-6. "If the Mackeral was in the same vicinity as the Ship New Netherland upon it's arrival in May 1624, the Mackerel would be sailing out from New Netherland in June 1624, not from Amsterdam in June 1624: which is obviously a misinterpretation by many authors as the Mackerel sailed out again from Amsterdam in April, 1625. The Mackerel originally sailed with the first ship Eendracht to New Netherland in January, 1624"
