 Notes for Hendrick Adriense van der Burchgraeff:

Hendrick's father was Adriaen Arnolde Van Der Burchgraeff/Burggrave. He was born in 1535 or 1544 in Heusden, North Brabant, Netherlands.

A soldier for the Dutch against the Spanish, he was rewarded with money and a gold medal for his valiant and heroic acts in the capture of Breda, North Brabant, Netherlands.

(The capture of Breda occurred on the 25 Feb 1590. About seventy Dutch soldiers were handpicked for the mission. They were hidden in the hollowed out hull of a peat barge with the peat piled on top of them. Near nightfall the barge was allowed into the Spanish controlled Castle of Breda to trade. In the middle of the night the Dutch stowaways jumped out and slaughtered the Spanish soldiers. Those that weren't killed, fled or surrendered. It was the first great victory for the Dutch in their struggle to gain independence from Spain. The men who took part were recognized as heroes.)

Hendrick's grandfather was Arnold Adriaens Van Der Burchgraeff/Be Burggrave. Arnold was born in 's-Hertogenbosch (Den Bosch), North Brabant, Netherlands and died in Heusden.

Arnold, or his father Adriaen, was the first of the family to become Protestant.

The southern branch of the family remained Catholic and followed the King of Spain during the wars. This branch of loyal subjects advanced far in terms of wealth, titles and influence.

Arnold's father, Adriaen, lived in North Brabant.

Adriaen's father, and Hendrick's gg-grandfather, was named Arnold De Burchggrave; nothing is known about him. Arnold's father was also named Arnold.

He inherited all his father's feudal holdings and real estate. He is said to have left his father's land and settled in Brabant on his mother's land.

Arnold's wife was Anna Van Daele Gerritsdochter.

Arnold's father was Dirck De Burggrave (the gggg-grandfather of Hendrick). He was born about 1445 and died on the 27 Jun 1519.

Dirck was married to Gertrude Van Grobbendonk. Gertrude's family had land in Brabant. Her three sons moved from Altena (where Dirck's family came from) to Brabant. The Altena referred to is probably Altena, Drenthe, Netherlands, but could be Altena, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.

Dirck's father was also named Dirck. He was born about 1425, and married Margaretha Houtappel.

Dirck's father was Jan Dirckszoon De Burggrave. He swore allegiance to the Count of Holland, on the 22 Aug 1423, along with his cousin Jan De Burggrave.

Jan Dirckszoon De Burggrave's father was named Dirck Janszoon De Burggrave (Hendrick's ggggggg-grandfather). He was born about 1375. Dirck is mentioned frequently in documents relating to the holdings of the Counts of Holland and the Dukes of Brabant. He married Catharina Boeckelaer Robbynsdochter. Catharina held as a fief a piece of land called "Saryscamp" from Count Jacob of Holland. Dirck received the power of attorney from Count Jacob to sell the land to the Cloister of Charteuse at St. Geertruydenberg, which he did on the 18 Mar 1418.

Dirck's father was Jan De Burggrave (Hendrick's ggggggggg-grandfather). He was born about 1290 in Alm Kerke, Altena. Jan was the first in this line to use the Burggrave (Burggraef/Borchgrave) name, which mean "Viscount." He probably did this to distinguish his line from other Van Altena branches.

His family was descended from the Van Altena family, a family connected with the Counts of Cleve which traced its ancestry back to the Swan Knights in 945, and its mythical line back to the Teutonic God, Baldur.

The father or grandfather of Jan was granted the hereditary office of warden of the ancestral castle of the Van Altena family, a castle still in existence in 1913.

On the 26 Sep 1321, when Jan was "over thirty years of age," he received the feudal rights to thirty morgens of land situated at Ter Wiele in Altena. This property later became the property of Gerrit Van Horne, his father-in-law.

Some pedigrees state that Jan's wife was Isabelle De Hornes, daughter of Gerald De Hornes, the Count of Hornes (Horn, Limburg, Netherlands), and Jeanne De Louvain. The maternal lines trace back to become significant royal pedigrees.
