Isaac Phillipse Du Trieux (Truax) was baptized into the Dutch Reformed Church in New Amsterdam, now New York City, New York County, New York April 21, 1642. Records show he was the son of Philippe Antoni Du Trieux and his wife Susanna Du Chesne Du Trieux. He settled in Rotterdam, New York as early as 1670. About 1680, he married Maria Willemse Brouwer, probably in Albany County, New York, and their children were: Abraham, William, Isaac, Lysbeth, Jacob, Johannes, Eva, Sarah and Maria. Before 1684, the family moved to Corlam, now known as Schenectady, where he ran a tavern with his cousin Jacobus Peek. Isaac was listed as a freeholder in Schenectady in 1684. He was among those who escaped the Schenectady Massacre of 1690 by the French and Indians and received "8 ells of pennestout and 40 ells of linen" as a refugee of that disaster. Isaac died in 1702 at Schenectady and is presumed buried there.
