  • The Influence of Rotterdam Thinkers Upon New York's 1689 Leislerians Movement
    ROTTERDAM-MANHATTAN CONNECTIONS: THE INFLUENCE OF ROTTERDAM THINKERS UPON NEW YORK'S 1689 LEISLERIANS MOVEMENT DOOR DAVID WILLIAM VOORHEES In 1991 Michiel Wielema published H/<WÖ/ÉTZ tf<z« ^MM, a chronicle of five hundred years of philosophical thought in Rotterdam. He recognized the importance of Rotterdam as a center of early Enlightenment, but did not fully expand upon the influence of the city's intellectual life abroad.' A 1689 uprising in New York, popular- ly known as Leisler's Rebellion, reveals, however, that in the 1680s Rotterdam thinkers played a role in the development of political ideo- logy in the former Dutch West India Company colony. This paper examines the influence of a coterie of Rotterdam theorists that inclu- ded Jacobus Borstius, Pierre Jurieu and Frans Kuyper upon New York's Leislerian movement. A December 1689 dispute over the validity of a customs act high- lights the ideological differences between the factions rending New York in the wake of England's 1688 Glorious Revolution. On Decem- ber 19 a 'plakkaat' appeared in New York City condemning rebel leader Jacob Leisler's resurrection several days earlier of a 1683 New York assembly act for raising government revenues. Citing the Magna Carta and statutes of English kings Edward I, Richard III and Charles I, the authors declared 'that no man thenceforth be Compeld to Make or yield any gift Loan benevolence tax or such Like Charge without Common Consent by act of parliament'.^ The following day Leisler responded with a declaration against the 'false construction on the wholesome Lawes of England not regarding An Act of the ffreemen represented in Assembly', and concluded that the English constitution guarenteed the 'Supreame Legislative Authority under his Maties & ca shall for ever be & reside in a Governor, Councill & the People met in Generall Assembly'.3 At issue was not whether an English sovereign should reign over the 196 province; both sides agreed that one should.

  • An Early and Unique American Settlement Ew Rochelle in the 17
    An Early and Unique American Settlement ew Rochelle in the 17 th and 18 th Centuries In the early years of New York, when only a few small hamlets dotted the forests and fields of what is now Westchester County, a small group of French Protestant refugees called “Huguenots”, made their way to a stretch of land that began at the banks of Long Island Sound. Having fled their homeland to realize a life in which they could practice their Protestant religion freely, the dozen or so families, with Jacob Leisler acting as the go-between, purchased 6,000 acres from John Pell, signing the deed in 1689. They named it after the last Huguenot stronghold in France, the Port of La Rochelle. These early settlers chose their new home wisely. The land was fertile and farmable. Its Long Island Sound location provided for abundant fishing, gainful tidal mills and lucrative water- related trade and industry. The new community was connected to northern settlements and to New York by the Boston Post Road—the leading thoroughfare of the Colonies, which traced the ancient pathways of the Siwanoy Indians along the Sound shoreline. It was also only 18 miles to reach the French Church in Manhattan, and about 24 miles to the mercantile hub of New York. Merchants, landowners, tradesmen, farmers… despite their varied backgrounds, the first forty or so families shared a desire to worship freely. They had the joint disadvantage of having little money or material goods. All had been left behind in France during their flights to safety.

Y. HISTORIC NEW ROCHELLE FOREWORD To the publication ~f a little booklet designed for classroom use throughout the public schools of New Rochelle treating of sig­ nificant events in the historic development of the city, impetus was given early this year by the observance of the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the fou~ding of the "Queen City of the Sound". Preparation at th~t tiine for a pageant revealed that only isolated bits of historic materials were available and that nowhere I was there in print, suitable for school use, a concise and orderly treatment of the circumstances and conditions that led, first, to the selection of a site for refuge for. the fleeing French Huguenots and, later, to its settlement and dev,elopnient. To meet the deficiency, a committee was entrusted with the responsibility of assembling, preparing and editing all known information. How well that job was done "Historic New Rochelle" reveals. Not a booklet, but a full-sized text, scholarly, well organized, care­ fully and authentically documented, and yet, withal, attractively written, interestingly and entertainingly presented, is here given the girls and boys, their parents, the teaching staff, and others who may be interested. In the pages and chapters which follow, environ­ ment becomes a living reality and the reader is privileged to follow, from t}:le beginning to the present, the colorful and intricate threads that make up the historic and fascinating tapestry of New Rochelle.

Doctor of Philosophy (Administrative Leadership) » December, 1971» 2^4 pp., 12 tables, o illustrauionta bibliography, 125 titles. The town of Islip, covering an area of approximately 102 square miles on. the south shore of Long Island, was mainly a rural agricultural area prior to Worl War II. In the past quarter century, it has grown to be the most populous town in Suffolk County. The schools and historical societies of the town have attempted to inculcate in the new "Islipians" a sense of be- longing to their surroundings, but their efforts have been hampered because a documented'history of the founding of the town has never been written. The purpose of this study was to develop a source book to meet the needs of both the his — .torleal societies and the schools, and at the same time to trace the growth of New York State's public school system and Islip*s place in its development. Islip is unique among the towns on Long Island because it is the only one of the original towns on the island to be founded after the Dutch surrender to the British in 1664- by a group of settlers who were neither Dutch nor Puritan nor united by a common religious bond but who were desirous of setting up a viable community settlement.

  • Heritage Awards 2010
    Heritage Awards 2010 Flandreau Family Cemetery First Burial 1800 Chester Place New Rochelle, NY 10801 Nominated by: Ms. Catherine Josset (Flandreau descendant) With the first documented burial on February 19, 1800, until 1892, when the last known burial took place, a small plot on the rolling farmlands along Boston Post Road at New Rochelle’s eastern border was used as a graveyard by at least 30 members of the Flandreau family. From one of original founders of the 17 th century French settlement, (Jacques) through several generations, including the only New Rochellean killed in the Civil War (John), the Flandreau family has figured prominently in this community. The burials began when the Flandreau family owned extensive acreage along the road and continued here long after the family sold the farm in 1815. The year before, on February 16 1814, the children of Benjamin Flandreau laid out by deed "the Flandreau Burying Ground," 28 yards by 13 yards, and a right-of-way to the Boston Road (also referred to as Turnpike Road.) After the Civil War, the owner of the former Flandreau property, Samuel Chowdrey, was unsuccessful in his bid to buy the plot for his farm (and move the bodies to another site, at his own expense.). Instead, he enclosed it with a stone wall and hedge. After he died, his “Hazlehurst Farm” was caught-up in the building boom of the early 1900s. As building lots encroached on the graveyard, some bodies were exhumed and reinterred in Beechwoods Cemetery. A monument to Elisha Harsen, a Flandreau descendant killed while serving on the monitor Tecumseh when it was sunk in Mobile Bay in 1874, was also moved to Beechwoods.

Abstract A decade of political unrest over the question of parliamentary taxation resulted in the development of an alternate political structure of committees and congresses in the province of New York. By 1776, a revolutionary government led by the Provincial Congress controlled the province. Upon learning of the Declaration of Independence, the New York Provincial Congress declared independence from the British. Within months of this declaration, southern New York was occupied by British troops, and remained under British control for the duration of the Revolutionary War. The area was under martial law for the duration. Britain’s loss of the Saratoga Campaign brought French entry into the war, and a major strategic reassessment as the American colonies became to the British but one front—and not even the most important—in a world war with France (and later others).
