I have researched and searched this line for over 20 years and have it down pretty complete. Im still working on it, but no one has ever came up with this name in Holland, including Conne U, because Jan Willemse and Barbara Jans came over in the St Baptist with 2 boys in 1661 from the Loosdredt and landed in new Neatherlands and soon moved up the Hudson River to Esopus which is now Kingston NY.I do not believe that this name ever existed in Holland altho this man did come from the Loosdredt in Holland and they were both very Dutch. Hendrick Willemse was reported killed by the Indian raids in one of the attacks on the village of Esopes(Wiltwick)and I believe he was one of the two son's f Jan Willemse and Barbara Jans. Willemse Janse Hooghteeling was his other son and is the protegy of all the decendents after Jan Willemse and Barbara Jans Houghteylingh. Now Jan Willemse soon became the treasurer of the village of Esopes and the Dutch Reform Church Treasurer. In Dutch "Treaurer" was spelled Hooghteylingh. He took the title for his surname when the British took over New Neatherlands in 1664 The British required all of the Dutch in New Neatherland to take a last name or Sur name. Jan Willemse became Jan Willemse Hooghteylingh and forever more was passed on down to his children. "Hoog" which means "High" in Dutch was pronounced "hoe" in Dutch. About 1800 the "Hoog" was beginning to changed to "Hough" the English version of "High" and pronounced "huff" The Engish sound.This is very true in New York. The "teylingh" is the Dutch version of "Teller" like as the bank teller. The "High Teller" was spelled "Hooghteylingh" which very quickly changed to "Hoogteeling" and some other variations. Of course Conrad Matyes came along as an Orphan boy and appeared before Judge Jan Willemse Houghteyling in Esopes and he liked the name and took this very name for his sur name and moved up to Green Co NY and was a member of the Dutch Reform Church of Albany NY and his line is very well covered by Peter Rounds and Connie Ulrich. I am decendent from Jan Willemse to Hezekiah or "Hiskia" Hoogteeling and Maria DeGraff both born in Kingston, New York,and were married in Pookeepsee NY (records)some of their children were born in NY, or Hobokon NJ and some in Conewago,the Dutch Colony in Adams Co PA which existed about 1765 and rather disapated about 1840. Hiskia Hoogteeling became Hiskia Houghtelin or at least all of his kids took the name Houghtelin pronounced Hoe telin, I should know because that's my name. The people that stayed in New York longer mostly took the name of Houghtaling and pronounced it "Huff" "tayling", and many tried to modify the name in other ways. I really think the basic name was Hooghteylingh to Hoogteeling to (about1800)Houghtaling, Hotaling and Houghtelin. The Dutch with this name knew the sounds and the ones that could read could spell it. The problem were the people who took the census and wrote the name for the records,birth,marrage militia etc. These people just wrote down what they heard and we see the results of years of the name, misspelled everywhere. My spelling is not to good either. I've got some interesting Houghtelin stuff after Hezekiah Houghtelin and Geerty Demarees and have made a survey of the southern Low Dutch Cemetery along The Dutch Road in Adams Co Pa Hezekiah and Geerty were my Gr Gr Grandparents. Their son Hezekiah moved to Pittsburgh and his son John Milton Houghtelin moved to Chatfield Minnesota and his son Elmer Houghtelin moved to Owatonna Minnesota and his son, Ronald Elmer Houghtelin was born in Owatonna in 1931 and still lives in Owatonna.That's me. Anyone can reply to this and even challange the information, but be ready, I have a lot of back up stuff and a copy of Hoes Kingston's book of records.I'm even working on decendents of Conrad Matyes and I could use some help. bye now, Ronald E Houghtelin
