The Goelet family is an influential family from Huguenot origins of New York who owned significant real estate in New York City.
History
The Goelets are descended from a family of Huguenots of La Rochelle in France who escaped to Amsterdam.[1] Francois Goelet, a widower with a ten year old son, Jacobus, arrived in New York in 1676. Returning to Amsterdam on business, he left the boy in the care of Frederick Philipse, but was apparently lost at sea. His son, John G. Goelet married Jannetie Cannon, daughter of merchant Jan Cannon.[2]
