Francis
Barto (Barteau) came to America in 1657, possibly a French Huguenot (a
Protestant political movement) or Waloon (French speaking Protestant refugees
from the Spanish Netherlands). At that time in history, Holland was almost
the only European country that practiced religious toleration. When they
were encouraging settlement of New Netherland (as New York was then called)
most Dutch citizens were not interested in migrating, many of the settlers
were of other nationalities.
Francis
Barteaus name first appears with others as a petitioner for land in 1676
in Harlem, New York. This was denied so he went toFlushing, New York, and
made a similar petition in which he stated hehad nine children.
This
must have been successful, for on 29 September 1683 he had the following
taxable property: upland, 12 acres; meadow, 5 acres; horses, 3; two year
olds, 1; oxen, 2; cows, 3; swine, 1; sheep, 8; taxes paid 9s.3d. listed
in the 1698 Flushing, New York, census. He may have been a carpenter since
he was early associated with Glaud LeMaistre, a carpenter of Harlem and
Flatbush.
