Isaac Hasbrouck, son of Joseph Hasbrouck, son of Abraham Hasbrouck, was born in 1712. By the mid-1700s, he was granted a plot of 3000 acres, nestled between the Wallkill and Shawangunk Kill rivers in Tuthill, a hamlet of present-day Gardiner.
In 1751 he supplied a six acre parcel for the Reformed Church of Shawangunk to be built. Today, it is the oldest continually run church of its kind.
Isaac married Antje Low in 1766, the same year he built this home. They had three children before his death in 1778 and served as supervisor of the town of Shawangunk, as well as serving on the town militia during the revolution.
His son, Joseph Isaac Hasbrouck, built a still-standing house half a mile south of his father's homestead and also served as supervisor of Shawangunk. His son, Joseph Osterhoudt Hasbrouck, had a large influence in the Democratic party and was hugely instrumental in the creation of the town of Gardiner in 1853.
Today, it is accepted that virtually all Hasbroucks in the country (there are a number of variations in the spelling of the name) are descendants of Jean and Abraham.
