The Dutchman Jacob Eelkens was the first leader of Fort Nassau, built in 1614 on Castle Island near what is now Albany. Later he became Commissary of Fort Orange.

In 1628 Eelkens had been dismissed by the West India Company from the post of Commissary at Fort Orange, and entered the service of some London merchants, in whose behalf he had come to buy furs on Henry Hudson’s River.
