At the time of the marriage of Roelof and Anneke , they lived at the St. Tunis Gate i n Amste rdam, Holland, where he was a seaman. He sailed from the Texel on 2 1Ma rl630 in "de Eendracht"; arrived in America 24May 1630 with his wife a nd three daughters . He assumed the name of Roelof Jansen Van Maester­ landt. Th ey lived for a short time in New Amsterdam ; then went to what is now the city of Re nssalear , NY , wh e re he wo rked on the deLae ts far m on the east bank of the Hudson River, near Mill Creek (Norman ' s Kill) for $72 a year . He also carried on trade with the Indians. There is a stream in what is now Columbia Co ., NY, call ed Roelof J a nsen' s Kill . On 1July1632 he was a ppointed schepens and go t a "black hat with s i lver bands " to wear t o denote the office . In April 1634 he was r e placed as farme r und e r uncer tain cir cum­ s t ances. Some sources say he "deserted"; othe r s that he had served most , if not a ll, of his r egular pe r iod of empl oyment . Reco rds show that Van Renssel­ aer compl ained about Roelof' s ma nageme nt of th e farm. On 20July l632 he com­ plained hat Jansen had " grossly run up accounts i n drawing provisions" and said that he thought J ansen' s wife, he r mothe r, a nd her sister "must have g ive n things away." I n any event, it seems that Roelof was not a successful farme r and was in debt to the Patroon Van Re nsselaer wh en r e placed . The de bts were later cancelled . Ro elof , his fam i ly, and his mo ther-in-law moved to New Amsterdam about 1634 whe r e he was an em ployee of the West India Co .

He was re­ turning to Holland to answer charges against him when his vessel, "The Princess," entered the Bristol Channel by mistake, struck a rock, and sunk with 60 persons aboard. After his death, Anneke was burdened with debts and had several small children. They lived withher daughter Fytje and her husband Pieter Hartgers for a time. On 23Aprl652 Pieter Hartgers agreed to pay ground rent of four beav­ ers for a lot in Albany, the patent for which was given to Anneke Bogardus. She built a house and remained there the rest of her life. In 1654 she obtained from ,r Gov. Stuyvesant a patent in her own name on the land on Manhattan Island that she _J had inherited from her first husband. Years after her death she became famous when her descendants initiated litigation claiming ownership of real estate on z Manhattan Island that had belonged to her. They claimed that Trinity Church had 0 illegally acquired title and that the property belonged to her descendants. The LtJ land in question was rated in 1972 at a value of some three million dollars. The u courts ruled that Trinity Church had legal title.

Yita 111im m,rtu,rum in mtmoria viwrum ,11 p,tita. _;, Citm. COMPILED BY HOWARD JAMES BANKER. 1909. THE TUTTLE COllP~\NY PRINTERS BUTLAND, VERMONT PREFACE. The production of this work has been of the nature of a pro­ cess of evolution, which the writer has found necessary to bring to an abrupt close in the interest.a of self-preservation. When but a boy of flfte~n he became interested in inquiring about his ancestors concerning whom he was able to learn very little from his immediate relatives. This only intensified his curiosity to find out something about them. He at length happened on an old family Bible• that greatly stimulated his interest' and incited him to collect the family records. For years this was a mere pastime and the material accumulated slowly with no thought of its ever being published. About 1899 he stumbled upon the Records of the Dutch Reformed Church of Sleepy Hollow near Tarrytown and to his amazement found this a per.feet mine of information respecting his family. The search of various records in and about New York became fascinating and absorbed much of his leisure time. The accumulation of material grew rapidly until it became impressed upon him that it would be a misfortune if all that he had gathered should be lost as it probably would be lost forever. It was apparent that the only way to preserve it per.

    Fragmentary Narration and Ambiguity in Heliodorus' Aethiopica

    What Charicles Knew: Fragmentary Narration and Ambiguity in Heliodorus’ Aethiopica BENEDEK KRUCHIÓ University of Cambridge Towards the end of the tenth and last book of Heliodorus’ Aethiopica, a character who was left behind by the protagonists in Delphi in Book Four makes a surpris- ing reappearance in Ethiopia: Charicles, the Greek foster-father of the heroine Charicleia, arrives in Meroe, where the royal couple reside, and demands his daughter back from king Hydaspes, who is her biological father. While Charicles’ resurfacing is in itself surprising,1 scholars have particularly been puzzled by the question what he knows about Charicleia when he enters the scene: when the girl and her lover Theagenes elope from Delphi, Charicles is aware of her Ethiopian background but not of her royal descent; however, according to the established reading of a short segment of the novel’s finale, he seems to know who her parents are when he brings forward his request. Heliodorean scholarship has heretofore contented itself with branding Cha- ricles’ differing states of knowledge as a striking inconsistency.2 I shall first show that this is not just in general an obviously unsatisfactory approach to a puzzling passage, but also highly unlikely to be an accurate explanation in the present case. My paper will proceed by presenting alternative solutions to this puzzle. The first one sticks to the conventional reading of the two abovementioned direct speeches, arguing firstly that the communicative line which results in Charicles’ acquisition of knowledge can be reconstructed, and secondly that certain narratological prop- erties of the Aethiopica invite the reader to make assumptions about unnarrated events like those which are necessary for explaining Charicles’ surprising state of ————— 1 According to Lowe 2003, 256, Charicles’ reappearance is ‘the novel’s final and most mas- terly programmed surprise’; cf.

    10th International Congress on Marine Corrosion and Fouling, University of Melbourne, February 1999 Additional Papers John A Lewis (Editor) Maritime Platforms Division Aeronautical and Maritime Research Laboratory DSTO-GD-0287 ABSTRACT This volume contains nineteen papers from the 10th International Congress on Marine Corrosion and Fouling, held at the University of Melbourne in Melbourne, Australia, in February 1999. The scope of the congress was to enhance scientific understanding of the processes and prevention of chemical and biological degradation of materials in the sea. Papers in this volume range across the themes of marine biofilms and bioadhesion, macrofouling processes and effects, methods for prevention of marine fouling, biocides in the marine environment, biodeterioration of wood in the sea, and marine corrosion.

Fouling growth can interfere with the operation of submerged equipment, impose increased loading stresses and accelerate corrosion on marine structures, and adversely affect the performance of ships by increasing hydrodynamic drag, which necessitates the use of more power and fuel to move the ship through the water. Similarly, marine corrosion and biodegradation of materials can compromise the operation and structural integrity of vessels, structures and other immersed equipment.

  • The Royal Ancestry of Zephaniah

    The Royal Ancestry of Zephaniah

    7G THE ROYAL ANCESTRY OF ZEPHANIAH. IN discussing the genealogy of the prophet Zephaniah, Prof. G. A. Smith says, "Zephaniah's great-great-grand­ father Hezekiah was in all probability the king." 1 This is to state the case more strongly than has been usual, but not more strongly than is reasonable. I return to the subject because it is possible in one respect to strengthen Prof. Smith's argument, 2 and to maintain the probability of the royal ancestry of the prophet even in view of a less favourable chronology than that adopted by Prof. Smith. The present state of opinion on the subject may be briefly summarized thus: that the Hezekiah who, according to Zephaniah i. 1, was the great-great-grandfather of the prophet, was identical with the king of J udah of that name, seems to some 3 impossible or improbable, to many 4 at least possible and not improbable, to many 5 probable. There are several more or less weighty reasons for accepting the identification; there are no valid objections; for my main purpose in this note is to show that what is generally regarded as the most serious objection-the chronological-is invalid. It will be well first of all briefly to recapitulate the reasons for the identification. (1) The genealogy of Zephaniah is, quite exceptionally, carried back four generations. In the titles of the remaining prophetic writings we find either only the name of the prophet ; 6 or the names of the prophet 1 The Book of the 1'1celt•e Prophets, ii.

Her Soul is white. She came to us as a very small child when her mother was our cook. In this day one would call her a “Kitchen Maid.” At the time she came to us the other servants spoke of her as “Nellie,” she helps wash the “deeshes.” Later on my Mother trained her as her own per¬ sonal maid and Nellie was taught to do everything. My Mother, of course, had in mind Nellie’s future life, which Nellie graphically explains to everyone, “Mis Daingerfield, she taught me all I knows.” Nellie has never lived with any other than my Daingerfields and is the one I love first.

WE assert that each and every member of the Ameri- can-Irish Historical Society assumes an obligation with his membership to do his share towards carrying out one of the objects of the Society, namely: To examine records wherever found, concerning the Irish in America ; to investigate specially the immigration of the people of Ire- land to this country ; to endeavor to correct erroneous, distorted, and false views of history in relation to the Irish race in America, to the end that Irishmen may receive due recognition from chroniclers of American history, for their important, but little appreciated and less understood, labors in the upbuilding of this great republic. That desired work can only be accomplished by the local historian, who, with patience, will garner for preser- vation in the archives of our Society, from the official and church records of his locality and from well-authenticated tradition all there is concerning the Irishmen who first set- tled in the place about which he writes, so that the future historian, writing of the Irish people as of the founders of this nation dedicated to liberty and religious freedom, may do them full justice, and exhibit to the gaze of the doubting the value that their manhood, strength and sturdy character gave to all that is good and great in our beloved country.
