WALL THE STUYVESANT FAMILY BIBLE BY MAJOR EDWARD VAN WINKLE Formerly Recording Secretary of the Holland Society of New York Family Bibles containing records and dates and signatures are always of interest to particular families; when the people recorded in them are of importance, they interest others as well, for their contributions to genealogy and history; and when the Bibles are rare editions, they become a study for bibliographers. The Stuy­ vesant Family Bible here pictured and described exemplifies to an unusual degree this three-fold interest. The writer, used to the frequent sights of our most ancient treasures, and trained by service to seek them, views this book as the most fascinating in history of ownership of any book yet found, connected with New Amsterdam.

  • Govert Loockermans (1617?-1671?) and His Relatives: How an Adolescent from Turnhout Worked His Way up in the New World
    Govert Loockermans (1617?-1671?) and his relatives: How an adolescent from Turnhout worked his way up in the New World Willem Frijhoff (Erasmus University, Rotterdam / VU-University, Amsterdam) [Revised version, January 7, 2016] Summary This contribution aims at painting a picture of the person, the strategy and career of Govert Loockermans, paying special attention to the relationship he and his family in the New World had with Turnhout, and to the role played by the complex network of his relatives in the formation of New Netherland and of New York. He abandoned his Catholic Faith, and it appears that he soon ceased all contact with his blood relatives in Turnhout. He was not only a vigilant and cunning merchant, who amassed a large fortune for that time, but also a ruthless pioneer. We could see him as an icon of the current Wall Street capitalist. Either way, he was a man who helped determine and shape the age he lived in. His destiny continues to fascinate us. Govert Loockermans, the American hero from Turnhout, is the classic example of the ‘famous unknown’ gracing so many history books. He does not appear in any national dictionary, nor is he counted among the about thirty ‘famous Turnhoutenaren’ on the Turnhout tab of Wikipedia. Some of his deeds in the founding history of the country that later would become the United States are indeed very well known—even if not always flattering—but the history of his life in New Amsterdam, present day New York, has only been told a handful of times.

Marisa Lago Chair, New York City Planning Commission 120 Broadway, 31st floor New York, NY 10271 Hon. Carlina Rivera New York City Councilmember, 2nd District 254 East 4th Street New York, NY 10009 Mayor Bill de Blasio City Hall New York, New York 10007 Re: Historic information regarding 88 East 10th Street and 11 & 13 East 12th Street in proposed historic district south of Union Square, and missing information and flawed analysis in Environmental Assessment Statement for CEQR# 20DCP058M for Union Square South Special District Extension/Hotel Special Permit Requirement Dear Chair Carroll, Chair Lago, Councilmember Rivera, and Mayor de Blasio, I write regarding several serious flaws in the Environmental Assessment Statement for CEQR# 20DCP058M for the Union Square South Special District Extension/Hotel Special Permit Requirement. This includes the failure to include accurate and complete information regarding the historic significance of the projected development sites at 88 East 10th Street and 11 & 13 East 12th Street along with other historic resources in the area, as well as other significant inaccurate data and analysis. As this ULURP moves through the public review process and development pressure increases in this area from the recent Tech Hub upzoning and construction, it is critical that city agencies accurately analyze the potential impact of new construction and identify the considerable historic resources in the area, which is unfortunately largely absent from this document. 88 East 10th Street The EAS identifies 88 East 10th Street as a potential development site which has “no architectural significance.” We disagree with that assessment of this largely intact 1844 Greek Revival house.
