Hester, was the daughter of Nathaniel Du Bois, son of Louis Du Bois, Jr., and Rachel Hasbrouek
(daughter of Abraham Hasbrouck and Maria Deyo). Nathaniel Du Bois located at Blooming Grove,
now Salisbury Mills, Orange County. He married in the year 1726, Gertrude Bruyn. Their daughter
Hester was the twin of Zachary, who became a Major in the Revolution. She married in the year 1753,
Colonel Jesse Woodhull. They had four sons and three daughters."
