Hendrick was born in 1640 in Zutphen, Gelderlands, Netherlands, and immigrated to New World in 1663, to what was at the time New Amsterdam, shortly after New York. I personally do not know very much about how Sedam came about, but my leading guess is that it has something to do with the town of Schiedam, Netherlands. I believe I dug up a record at one time the his father was Hendrick Von Schiedam.
