Peter Hoogerzeil is my 3rd great grandfather. He was born on 28 October 1803 in Dordrecht, Netherlands, the son of Simon Hogerseijl and Lissa Van Epenhuizen. He was from a long line of whaling sea captains in the Netherlands. Around 1825 Peter Hoogerzeil stowed away in a boat loaded with hemp, leaving Rotterdam to Salem, Massachusetts for the ropeworks. On 30 December 1828 in Beverly he married the daughter of the ship captain, Eunice Stone. She was the daughter of Captain Josiah Stone and Susanna Hix of Beverly. Peter was a mariner and a caulker in Beverly. They had six children, outlined below, and three of the four sons served in the Civil War.
