Hasbroucks in America Part II of Washington’s Headquarters Newburgh History

According to historic Huguenot Street in the Hasbrouck Family Association, “it is generally excepted that virtually all Hasbrouck’s in America I just sent it from the brothers Jean and Abraham, French Huguenots, who both arrived in America in the early 1670s.” They fled Europe because of religious persecution. Their stone houses , built by their families, in the 1700s, still stand on Huguenot Street in New Paltz, New York. It is here that our story of Jonathan Hasbrouck, who built what would become Washington’s Headquarters, begins.
