I have the "Big Book" published by the OSTRANDER Family Association which shows Pieter (3) OSTRANDER, b. ca. 1680, Ulster Co., NY, mar. 4 Jun 1704, RDC Kingston, Ulster Co., NY, Rachel DINGMAN (who was b. ca. 1683, Kinderhook, Columbia Co., NY). Rachel was the d/o of Adam DINGMAN and Aeltie GARDNEIER.
Their family of 11 children is detailed.

Adam resided at Greenbush, below Albany (PA:43). In Feb. 1675/66, he was a path and fence viewer, and on Apr. 1, 1674, he was appointed Deputy Sheriff for one year, both occupations in Kinderhook. On Aug. 4, 1684, Maes Cornelissen, atty, for Jacob Jansen Gardenier, conveyed a deed for lot and farm at Kinderhook to Adam Dingemans (ERAR 2:234).

Name of first wife unknown
I've found out that a Hendrik Bartholomeus (Mees) Vroman(s) moved to New Amsterdam in 1664. He travelled on a ship, called "De Eendracht" (The Concord) from Amsterdam. The travel started on 17th of April, 1664 and they arrived on the 19th of July 1664.

From vromans@home.nl (Tom Vromans) 17 Jan 2001
Hendrik was an widower. His wife, Jannie Wouters with whom he married on the 20th of December 1648, died in 1662 (while giving birth to a child, who died also). His five children (in the ages of 15, 13, 11, 7 and 5) travelled with him to New Amsterdam.
The Hendrick Meese you mentioned could be the same Hendrik as above, but this could also be untrue.
I'm now searching for the birthplace of Hendrik in Holland (year of birth should be 1618), but so far I haven't had any luck.

Hendrick came to New Netherlands in 1664 accompanied by his 5 children. In 1670 was living "behind Kinderhook" same year hired a farm from Robert Sanders for 6 year at Steen Roby ( Lansingburg) 1677 moved to Schenectady
and lived on a lot, the present site of the NY Central Railroad depot. 1690 was killed by the French & Indians in the sack of the village: all the Vrooman of this vicinity are his descendants.

As I have it Hendrick would be my husbands g grandfather too many to count - Adam- Pieter-Barent -Thuenis-Tennis-Catherine m Sternberg-Peter -Marietta m Palmer- Almena m Perkins- Ralph-Averill my husband.

See Hotaling website for more information on this family.

>From Genealogies of First Settlers:
ADAM, son of Hendrick Meese, b. in 1649 in Holland, was naturalized in the province of New York in 1715; in 1670, by consent of his father, he bound himself for two years to Cornelis van den Burgh to learn the millwright's trade for 80 guilders and a pair of new shoes the first year, and 120
guilders the second year; 1683 built a mill on the Sand kil where the Brandywine mills now stand; 1688 bought lands of the Mohawk sachems at Fort
Hunter; in 1690, when Schenectady was attacked and burned by the French and Indiana, he saved his life by his bravery in defending his house which then stood on the west corner of Church and Front Streets; on this occasion his first wife Engeltie, with her infant child, was killed, and his two sons Barent and Wouter were carried away captives to Canada; 1697 went to Canada with an embassy to try to obtain the release of his sons (one of whom had
turned Catholic), his brother (Jan?) and cousin (son of Pieter Meese of Albany), all carried away in 1690; 1703-1708 obtained a patent for the Sand
kil and adjacent lands for mill purposes; 1714 obtained a patent for lands in Schoharie upon which he settled in 1715; some of the Palatines attempted to drive him off. He commenced a stone house 23ft. square by help of his sons, and had proceeded as far as the second story floor beams, when one night his unruly neighbors, led on by one Conrad Weiser, entirely demolished it. He then retired to Sehenectady and petitioned to the governor for redress. The governor commanded the sheriff of Albany to arrest said Weiser, and succeeded, it is presumed, in stopping the opposition to Vrooman's
cultivating his land. [Doc. History, III, 412.] In 1726 he received an additional patent for 1,400 acres for his son Pieter; made his will September 12, 1729, proved June 13, 1730, spoke of the following children, save Christina and Jannetie, d. on his farm in Schoharie Feb. 25, 1730, and was buried in his private burying ground No, 36 Front Street.

Above from email dated 31 Mar 2002 from BUNKOFF1@aol.com on the Schoharie List.

Note: A letter written by Vrooman in 1664, along with many other letters, were seized by the English from Dutch ships during the 17th-century Anglo–Dutch wars. These seized letters were recently discovered in the archives in Kew, England. In Vrooman’s letter, he comments on the changing rule in the colonies from Dutch to English, and describes his life in Schenectady: “It has been a good summer there. Very fine corn has grown there and the cultivation was good and the land still pleases me. At snechtendeel [Schenectady and the surrounding area] the land is more beautiful than I have ever seen in Holland.”
