In 1635, Derrick Albertson's father, Nicholas Albertson an d his brother William, emigrated to the Colonies from the Netherlands (Steenwijk, Steenwijkerland Municipality, Overijssel). William settled on Long Island and was married by 1643. Nicholas settled in Bristol, Massachusetts and married in 1636. A son, Nicholas Jr. was born in 1636 (died in childhood), Derrick in 1637 (married Wilmett), William in 1639 (married Esther), and Albert in 1642 (married Eva in 1658). Their father Nicholas died in 1642 in North Carolina, and his brother (the childrens' uncle) William took over, remaining close to them until he died in 1655. There is not much known about Derrick's mother.
Derrick Albertson married his wife Willmet in 1657 and they raised four children: Derrick Jr (married Dinah Coles), Elizabeth (1670-1723, married Samuel Coles), William (married Barbara) and Garret.
In 1672 Derrick built a mill near the Delaware River, half of which was claimed by William Toms. He held several elected town offices. He bought land in Musketo Cove (now Glen Cove). He also appeared listed in Queens County deeds when he and his wife sold land at Madnan's Neck in 1696. Madnan's Neck got its name from Menhaden-Ock which over the years became Madnan's Neck in reverence to spiritual upstart revivalist Anne "Nan" Hutchinson whose temper, so the story goes, flared unbecomingly to a spiritualist when she wasn't able to get a grant for some land she wanted.
Derrick Albertson died in 1697, although there are some records that state he died in 1684. His wife Willmet remarried to Jurrian Roots in 1698 and she died in 1721.
