The Beekman Family Crest
The family originates with Cornelius Beekman, of Cologne, Germany (1478). Driven away by religious persecution, they settled in Hasselt, Overyssel, in the protestant Netherlands. The emigrant, William Beekman, came over to New Amsterdam in 1647. Another family of Beeckman (with a c) came over to America, in 1638, from Hamelward (Bremen), and took service with the Van Rensselaers.
