WESSEL WESSELSE1 TENBROECK was born Abt. 1600 in Europe and died Abt. 1676. Notes for WESSEL WESSELSE TENBROECK: Much of my information on this family is taken from Runk, Emma Ten Broeck (1897). The Ten Broeck Genealogy, Being the records and Annals of Dirck Wesselse Ten Broeck of Albany and his Descendants. New York: Printed at the DeVinne Press. According to Runk, due to lack of early records we have only "the honored tradition that Wessel Ten Broeck, the one ancestor of the several branches of the Ten Broeck family in the United States, came to the Colony of New Netherland with Peter Minuit, the first Director General, in 1626" (p. 8). The Ten Broeck family of early Albany and colonial New York is descended from Wessel Wesselse who came to New Netherland during the 1630s. His son, Dirck Wesselse, became one of the fathers of the city of Albany. His many offspring established the Ten Broeck name in Albany and beyond. By 1697, trader-turned-businessman Wessel Ten Broeck had joined his father on the city census. In 1720, three Ten Broeck men were Albany freeholders. By that time, the family had established itself east of the Hudson on country estates anchored by Dirck Wesselse's estate on the Roelof Jansen Kil. Wessel's son, Dirck Ten Broeck, was appointed mayor of Albany in 1746. He died in 1751. But his widow and three other Ten Broeck households were enumerated on the city census of 1756. Dirck and Margarita's son, General Abraham Ten Broeck, businessman, field officer in the Revolutionary army, and the was third member of the family to serve as mayor of Albany. He was the most widely known family member. He was one of three Ten Broecks who owned homes in the third ward in 1790. The former administrator of Rensselaerswyck, he built Ten Broeck mansion - the historic house headquarters of the Albany County Historical Association. His only son, Dirck, served as speaker of the New York State Assembly in 1798. In 1815, only two Ten Broeck households remained in the city. After Ten Broeck Mansion and the "Ten Broeck Triangle" neighborhood of Arbor Hill, the family is recalled today in the names of numerous public buildings in Albany and beyond. Children of WESSEL WESSELSE TENBROECK are: 2. i. WESSEL WESSELSE2 TENBROECK, COL., b. 1636, Munster; d. November 25, 1704, Kingston, NY, interred Old Dutch Churchyard, Kingston, NY. 3. ii.

She was born 1646 in Netherlands, and died November 15, 1694 in Kingston, NY, interred Old Dutch Churchyard, Kingston, NY1. Working file of Mary Lou Cook, updated 18 April 2021 Notes for WESSEL WESSELSE TENBROECK, COL.: His descendants are known as the Kingston Ten Broecks. "The erected the house now known as the 'Senate House of the State of New York' in which the First Constitution of the State was adopted and proclaimed in April, 1777.

DIRCK WESSELSE2 TENBROECK, MAJOR (WESSEL WESSELSE1) was born December 18, 1638 in Kingston, Ulster, NY1, and died September 18, 1717 in Manor of Livingston, at his Bouwerie, Clermont, Columbia Co, New York, age 78y 9m, interred Ten Broeck Cemetery2. He married STYNTIE "CHRISTINA" VAN BUREN 1663 in Albany, NY at the Dutch Reformed Church, daughter of CORNELIS VAN BUREN and CATALYNTJE VAN ALSTYNE. She was born May 19, 1644 in Rensselaerswyck, NY3, and died November 23, 1729 in Albany, NY, age 854. Notes for DIRCK WESSELSE TENBROECK, MAJOR: He is known in history as Maj. Wessel. Dirk made his will in 1715 - it named his wife and 11 surviving children who inherited his huge estate. The will was proved 6 Feb 1718. He was a trader in Albany lots during the 1670s and 1689s. "As early as 1662 he was the largest fur-trader at Beaver-Wyck (now Albany). He was largely engaged in Indian and other public affairs (Commemorative Biographical Record..., 1897, p. 166). In the same book, there is a description of his land: "By deed of date October 26, 1694, Robert Livingston conveyed to him a tract of land on both sides of Roeliff Jansen's Kill, containing about 1,200 acres, also a tract on the Hudson river of 600 acres, situated 200 paces south of the old Livingston Manor House" (p. 166). "Most of the architecturally and historically significant structures in the town of Clermont are closely associated with the Livingston family of the Clermont Estate and its subsequent sub-divisions. The oldest and most significant structure included in the present nomination is the Bouwerie, a pre-Revolutionary War farm complex built for Dick Wesslse Ten Broeck of Albany. Ten Broeck was active in the political affairs of Albany and was a business manager on the Livingston Manor. In 1694, shortly after the creation of the manor, Ten Broeck purchased 1200 acres along the Roeloff Jansen Kill from the first lord of the manor. He built a house, and his grandson and namesake built the imposing brick residence nominated here. This outstanding example of Georgian architecture is the only extant one of it type, period and style in Clermont and one of the very few in the entire region (Source: http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NRHP/Text/64000544.pdf). In 1900, his descendants designed a new monument of Qincey granite, sarcophagus in style, and erected it in the old family burying ground on the Harold Wilson farm in Clermont. On the back was inscribed the following: Dirck Wesselse Ten Broeck Appointed Magistrate Commissary of Albany in 1676 Recorder and twice Mayor of the City Mayor of Militia of Colonial New York A Member of the Provincial Assembly An Indian Commissioner and Envoy in the Colony and Canada The Government and the Dutch Church esteemed him an honorable man and a loyal son (source: Columbia County at the End of the Century, Vol. II, MCM, p. 625). "He was one of the sons of Wessel Ten Broeck who came with Peter Minuet and about 200 other settlers about 1624 to settle the Hudson River Valley for the Dutch West India Company. Dirck was Indian agent at Albany for about 20 years and also Mayor from 1696 to 1698. For about 20 years he had also been 'The Recorder' at Albany which seems something like a Recording Secretary when the mayor met with his governing council. He married Christina Van Buren, daughter of Cornelius Van Buren and Marritje Van Alstyne and they had about 14 children, 11 of which lived to adulthood. I am descended from daughter Catharine who had two husbands - Jan (John) Leggett, first husband, and then a second husband with a somewhat similar name. Jan (John) Leggett and Catharine had three daughters and a son and I am descended from their daughter Christina, born about 1694 (the first Christina, born in 1691, died before 1694), who married Claude Delamater. Christina Leggett was the only grandchild mentioned in 2 Working file of Mary Lou Cook, updated 18 April 2021 her grandfather Dirck's will. He directed that if she married, her wedding outfit would be paid out of his estate. She married Claude Delamater and their daughter Christina Delamater married Johannes Tobias Van Deusen as his first wife of two. Johannes Tobias Van Deusen and his first wife Christina Delamater (she died in 1769) lived in Claverack, Columbia County, New York. Their son John J. Van Deusen (born in 1759 and baptized in 1761) who married Fytje (Sophia) Hallenbeck was my ancestor through their daughter Maria Van Deusen (born January 1789) who married Leonard Freeland at the Dutch Reformed Church of Claverack, Columbia County, New York in the fall of 1806.

    Civil War Heritage Day Albany Rural Cemetery, Menands, New York Saturday, September 13, 2008 Tours, Music, Events: 10 am - 5 pm Reception and Parade for President Lincoln! 3:00 pm On February 18, 1861 , Jefferson Davis was sworn in as President of the Confederacy and a celebration was held to mark the establishment of the Confederate States of America. On February 18, 1861 , Abraham Lincoln had been elected President of the United States but had not yet reached Washington. On February 18, 1861 , Abraham Lincoln was in Albany , New York. Albany’s Mayor George Thacher met Lincoln at the train station, and they rode in a carriage to the Capitol. As the carriage proceeded down Broadway and turned right to go up State Street, it passed Stanwix Hall, the current residence of John Wilkes Booth. Undoubtedly, Booth watched with almost all of Albany as the new President went by. Another spectator was Clara Harris, daughter of Senator Ira Harris. Clara and her fiancé Major Henry Rathbone would be reunited with President and Mrs. Lincoln at a later encounter with Booth. On June 7, 1862, in the midst of the war, the Trustees of Albany Rural donated a section named the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Plot. One hundred and forty-nine Civil War Veterans were buried in this plot and at least 600 more were buried in family plots throughout the cemetery. The Grand Army of the Republic Civil War Monument at Albany Rural contains the names of 648 Albany City residents who “ Died in Action.” The bronze plates on the monument were cast from a melted down Civil War cannon.

    Minting America: Coinage and the Contestation of American Identity, 1775-1800

    ABSTRACT MINTING AMERICA: COINAGE AND THE CONTESTATION OF AMERICAN IDENTITY, 1775-1800 by James Patrick Ambuske “Minting America” investigates the ideological and culture links between American identity and national coinage in the wake of the American Revolution. In the Confederation period and in the Early Republic, Americans contested the creation of a national mint to produce coins. The catastrophic failure of the paper money issued by the Continental Congress during the War for Independence inspired an ideological debate in which Americans considered the broader implications of a national coinage. More than a means to conduct commerce, many citizens of the new nation saw coins as tangible representations of sovereignty and as a mechanism to convey the principles of the Revolution to future generations. They contested the physical symbolism as well as the rhetorical iconology of these early national coins. Debating the stories that coinage told helped Americans in this period shape the contours of a national identity.

  • Introduction to the Ratification of the Constitution in New York

    Introduction to the Ratification of the Constitution in New York

    Introduction to the Ratification of the Constitution in New York During the decade preceding the War for Independence, New York was divided into two large provincial factions—the Delanceys and the Livingstons. When independence neared, the Delanceys were in power and they remained loyal to the king. The opposition to British imperial policy consisted of three groups—the radical elements led by New York City mechanics who advocated independence from Great Britain, a very conservative group that wanted reconciliation, and another conservative group that wanted to delay independence but would not give up key colonial rights. Because conservatives controlled the third Provincial Congress, that body gave no instructions on the question of independence to New York’s delegates to the Second Continental Congress meeting in Philadelphia. Not being instructed, the New York delegation, standing alone, did not vote on independence on 2 July 1776. Earlier, in response to the Continental Congress’ resolution of 15 May 1776, the third Provincial Congress had called on the electors in the different counties to elect a fourth provincial congress which might draft a constitution creating a state government. The election took place and the new Provincial Congress on 9 July resolved unanimously to join the other colonies in declaring independence. The next day it renamed itself the Provincial Convention. On 1 August the Convention appointed a committee of thirteen to draft a state constitution and to report by 26 August. The committee did not report until 12 March 1777. After almost six weeks of debate, the Convention on 20 April voted “in the name and by the authority of the good people of this State” to adopt the constitution.

    George Washington Papers, Series 3, Subseries 3A, Varick Transcripts, Letterbook 6 To THE PRESIDENT OF CONGRESS Head Quarters, New Windsor, March 1, 1781. Sir: The inclosed memorial of Colo. Hazen was this day put into my hands. Many of the matters mentioned in it are better known to Congress than to myself. The whole are so fully stated, as to speak for themselves, and require only the determination of Congress. The case of the Canadian Officers and Soldiers I know to be peculiarly distressing and truly entitled to redress, if the means are to be obtained. The Regiment, not being appropriated to any State, must soon dwindle into nothing, unless some effectual mode can be devised for recruiting it. Colo. Hazens pretensions to promotion seems to me to have weight, but how far they ought to be admitted, the general principles which Congress mean to adopt for the regulation of this important point will best decide. In justice to Colo. Hazen, I must testify, that he has always appeared to me a sensible, 83 spirited and attentive Officer. I have the honor etc. To THE PRESIDENT OF CONGRESS Head Quarters, New Windsor, March 1, 1781. Sir: On opening the inclosed, I found it intended for 83. In the writing of Tench Tilghman. The letter was read in Congress on March 23 and referred to Artemas Ward, John Sullivan, and Isaac Motte. your Excellency, though addressed to me.
