One of the twelve patentees of New Paltz, grandfather of Jannetje (Freer) Deyo. "Hugo was one of the last of the little band to arrive at Kingston. There is no mention of his name previous to the purchase of the New Paltz patent from the Indians in 1677. He probably had just arrived in the country at that time. He was accompanied by his wife, Mary Haye, and their three eldest children, Hugo, Abraham and Isaac." More of the papers that came down from him are in French than from any other patentee, "which seems to indicate that he had not been very long absent from his native country." When the church was organized at New Paltz in 1683 he was chosen deacon, and in 1690 he was an elder. His children: Hugo, Abraham, Isaac (died at eighteen in 1690), Jacob (b. 1679), Jean (b. 1682, of Kingston), Mary (m. Lewis Viele of Schenectady) and Sarah (m. Teunis Clausen Van Volgen) (source). The Freer homestead, the northernmost of the old stone houses on Huguenot Street, came down through his son Hugo. WikiTree gives him the dates c. 1636-1698; they have not been checked.
