Peter Hoogerzeil is my 2nd great grandfather. He was a prolific inventor and I've written about him at this blog previously (see the links below). His father, also named Peter Hoogerzeil, came from Holland to Salem, Massachusetts in the 1820s. Peter, Jr. was a fisherman, quartermaster and then began his own express business in Beverly, Massachusetts, near the Salem bridge on Bartlett Street. During his lifetime he patented over a dozen inventions.
Peter Hoogerzeil, son of Peter Hoogerzeil and Eunice Stone, born in Beverly, Massachusetts on 24 June 1841, died on 10 May 1908 in Beverly; married on 14 March 1870 in Salem to Mary Etta Healey, the daughter of Joseph Edwin Healey and Matilda Weston. She was born in Beverly on 19 May 1852 and died on 23 July 1932 in Beverly. They had six children, all born in Beverly:
1. Florence Etta, my great grandmother, born 20 August 1871, died 10 February 1941 in Hamilton, Massachusetts; married Arthur Treadwell Hitchings.
2. Lillie May, born 29 September 1873, died 17 May 1874
3. Alonzo, born 29 May 1875, died 23 January 1946; married Mabel Thurston Cressey
