John J. Van Deusen was born in 1759 and baptized Nov. 14, 1761 at the Dutch Reformed Church of Claverack, Columbia County, New York. He married Fytje (Sophia in English) Hallenbeck on Sept. 30, 1782 at the same church where he was baptized. They were apparently third cousins. Sophia was one of the children of William J. Hallenbeck and Maria-Marya D. Spoor. John J. Van Deusen and Sophia (Fytje) Hallenbeck had eleven children including my ancestor Maria Van Deusen who married Leonard Freeland in 1806 at the same Dutch Reformed Church of Claverack, New York.
John J. Van Deusen died young in 1802 at the age of 42 and his father Johannes T. Van Deusen, married to his second wife, Maritje Bronck of Greene County, died in 1803. The widow Sophia died on December of 1833 at age 70 and she is also buried in the cornfield near Spook Rock in Claverack, New York.
