Generation I
http://cybrary.uwinnipeg.ca/people/dobson/genealogy/ff/Hegeman-AT.html

Adriaen Hegeman, * ca. 1624 at Elburg, Gelderland, † between 27 Sept. 1671 and 28 May 1672 in New Netherland, presumably at Midwout (now Flatbush), Kings Co., Long Island. He ¥ 7 March 1649 at Sloten, by banns proclaimed 29 Jan. preceding at Amsterdam, Catharina Margetts, bapt. 4 Feb. 1625 in the Nieuwe Kerk, Amsterdam, † 1690, before 16 April, and buried from the Dutch Church of Midwout, daughter of Joseph Margetts, of Utrecht and Amsterdam, diamond cutter, by his first wife, Anna van Weerdenburch. At the time of his marriage in 1649 he was a silk-worker (syreder), of Egelantier Straet, Amsterdam, and his wife was of the Oudezijds Achterburgwall (Evidences, no. V). They were still in Amsterdam on 15 January 1651, when their second son Joseph was baptized in the North Church, but were in New Netherland before 9 March 1653, when their third son, Jacob, was baptized in the New York Dutch Church. The only known document mentioning Adriaen Hegeman between these dates, drawn 21 Feb. 1652 at Elburg, and published by Melssen, states that “Dionys Hegeman, acting for himself and for his brother Adriaen Hegeman by notarial proxy given at Amsterdam, provide[s] a guaranty for the estate of the late Gualtherus Hegeman, in his life minister of Doornspijk [in the municipality of Elburg], in favor of his creditors”; this document, unfortunately, is not explicit regarding Adriaen’s place of residence at the time. But given the unlikelihood of a transatlantic voyage with a pregnant wife in the winter of 1652-1653, we may infer that in all probability the passage was made no later than 1652.
  1.    Following their emigration Adriaen Hegeman settled with his family at Midwout (now Flatbush), on the west end of Long Island, where he was appointed sheriff (schout) of four of the “five Dutch towns” in Kings County, the four towns being Flatlands, Brooklyn, Flatbush, and New Utrecht. He and his wife were the ancestors of most of the Hegemans of New York and New Jersey.
