Vanderpoel-Verplanck-Vigne
Chapter XI: VanderPoel-Verplanck-Vigne Last Revised: December 4, 2013 We resume our study of the Vanderpool family with the parents of our Wynant van der Poel (as it was still being spelled at this time). They were MELGERT 1 WYNANTSE VAN DER POEL and ARIAANTJE {VERPLANCK} VAN DER POEL , who were married on December 4, 1668. 2 Some Vanderpool family sources say that both Melgert and Ariaantje were born or baptized (Melgert in Fort Orange/Rensselaerswyck) on the same day, December 2, 1646. This date and place cannot be incorrect for Melgert, however, principally because his parents were still living in Amsterdam as late as December 1652. In addition, Melgert had already been born by 1646, for baptismal records in Amsterdam suggest his birth occurred in late 1643: Melgert's parents had two males baptized as Melgerts or Melchert, one in the New Church on August 9, 1641, and another in the Old Church on November 26, 1643. 3 The Melgert who married Ariaantje and fathered Wynant was almost certainly the latter child, who, in accordance with the custom then, was given the same name as his recently deceased older brother. 1 Sometimes this name was spelled Melchert. 2 By coincidence, the parents of both Wynant van der Poel and Catharina de Hooges were married on the same date seven years apart: December 4, 1668. 3 Both churches still exist. As we have seen in the previous chapter, the Old Church also figures in the Bradt portion of this family history. The New Church ( Nieuw Kerk in Dutch), technically called St. -

Native Mail Carriers in Early America
Native Mail Carriers in Early America by Marshall Joseph Becker Introduction A review of documents mentioning Native carriers of mail, within and among the American colonies in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, strongly indicates that members of the Lenape tribe, of all those resident in the lower Delaware valley, were considered to be the most reliable and trusted. At later dates the Lenape were recognized as dependable in their skills as guides and explorers, a characteristic noted into the twentieth century. The efforts of Native letter carriers, who did their tasks on foot, also provide us with a broad perspective on the realities of indigenous life and how these peoples integrated European activities into their own separate systems for making a living. Popular images of the European impact on the many different native cultures generally describe them as if they were a single entity; all as passive victims of imperialistic invaders. Recent scholarship demonstrates this to be a deeply fl awed view. Through detailed studies of the 300 years of interaction between each individual and distinct Native culture, and a surprisingly diverse array of distinct immigrant peoples, the realities of each Native tribe’s responses are being delineated.1 Some modern scholars are even recognizing what I have long noted; that class differences within each colonial group (Dutch, Swedish, English) provided the basis for very different interactions with each specifi c tribe. Mail Service for the Pelt Trade The pelt trade, developing and expanding throughout the fi rst half of the sixteenth century was controlled by the Iroquois Confederacy (Great Lakes and across present New York) and the Susquehannock Confederacy (Northern Plains and up the Ohio to the Susquehanna and Potomac Rivers). -
