An Index by Title to Articles in the New York Genealogical and Biographical Record 1870–2015 (Volumes 1–146) An Index by Title to Articles in the New York Genealogical and Biographical Record 1870–2015 (Volumes 1–146) The following index is organized alphabetically by title and comprises every article published in The Record from 1870–2015, volumes 1–146. It is especially useful for locating articles that have been published in multiple installments. Additions and corrections are listed alongside the original articles. Please note that if a title begins with the word “A” it is alphabetized by the letter “A;” likewise, titles that begin with “The” are alphabetized by “T.” Titles that begin with a numeral precede alphabetical titles and are listed in numerical order; however, numbers spelled as words are alphabetized as words. Omitted from this index are regular features—such as accession lists, book reviews, necrologies, Society proceedings, etc.— that were not uniquely titled in the Table of Contents. Traditionally, a Necrology of members has appeared annually in April, issue number one, and additions and corrections have appeared annually in October, issue number four.

  • New York Painting Begins: Eighteenth-Century Portraits at the New-York Historical Society the New-York Historical Society Holds
    New York Painting Begins: Eighteenth-Century Portraits at the New-York Historical Society The New-York Historical Society holds one of the nation’s premiere collections of eighteenth-century American portraits. During this formative century a small group of native-born painters and European émigrés created images that represent a broad swath of elite colonial New York society -- landowners and tradesmen, and later Revolutionaries and Loyalists -- while reflecting the area’s Dutch roots and its strong ties with England. In the past these paintings were valued for their insights into the lives of the sitters, and they include distinguished New Yorkers who played leading roles in its history. However, the focus here is placed on the paintings themselves and their own histories as domestic objects, often passed through generations of family members. They are encoded with social signals, conveyed through dress, pose, and background devices. Eighteenth-century viewers would have easily understood their meanings, but they are often unfamiliar to twenty-first century eyes. These works raise many questions, and given the sparse documentation from the period, not all of them can be definitively answered: why were these paintings made, and who were the artists who made them? How did they learn their craft? How were the paintings displayed? How has their appearance changed over time, and why? And how did they make their way to the Historical Society? The state of knowledge about these paintings has evolved over time, and continues to do so as new discoveries are made. This exhibition does not provide final answers, but presents what is currently known, and invites the viewer to share the sense of mystery and discovery that accompanies the study of these fascinating works.

Ruloff De Kype [5] was born in 1510 in Alencon, Bretagne, France. General Notes: Ruloff De Kype was a warm adherent of the Guises, and took a prominent part in the Civil War between the Catholics and the Protestants. On the triumph of the Protestants, which occurred soon after the general massacre of the inhabitants of Vassey in Champagne, in 1562, his Chateau was burned and he fled from his home at Alancon in Bretagne to Holland with his three sons, where they lived for several years under an assumed name. In 1569, with his son Henri, he returned to France, joined the army of the Duke of Anjou, and on the 13th of March 1569 fell in the battle fought on the banks of La Charante, near Jarnac. By the care of his son, Jean Baptiste, who was a priest, he was buried in a small Church near Jarnac. The Church and grave marker were destroyed during the French Revolution. The Kip arms are represented on page before the title page. Sources: History of The Kip Family In America, by Frederic E.

FOREWORD The Bicentennial Project rirled "Portraits of Dutchess 1680-1807" began as a simple, personal arrempr ro catalog existing porrrairs of people whose lives were part of rhe county's history in rhe Colonial Period. As rhe work progressed ir became certain rhar relatively few were srill in the Durchess-Purnam area. As so many of rhem had become the property of Museums in other localities it seemed more important than ever ro lisr rhem and their present locations. When rhe Dutchess County American Revolution Bicentennial Commission with great generosity undertook rhe funding ir was possible ro illustrate rhe booklet with photographs from rhe many available sources. This document is nor ro be considered as a geneological or historic record even though much research in rhose directions became a necessity. The collection is meant ro be a pictorial record, only, hoping rhar irs readers may be made more aware rhar these paintings are indeed pictures of our ancestors. Ir is also hoped rhar all museum collections of Colonial Painting will be viewed wirh deeper and more personal interest. The portraits which are privately owned are used here by rhe gracious consent of the owners. Those works from public sources are so indicated.

I907. NO. I ' THE VAN RENSSELAER FAMILY. BY W. W. SPOONER. the early Dutch colonial families the Van OF Rensselaers were the first to acquire a great landed estate in America under the "patroon" system; they were among the first, after the English conquest of New Netherland, to have their possessions erected into a "manor," antedating the Livingstons and Van Cortlandts in this particular; and they were the last to relinquish their ancient prescriptive rights and to part with their hereditary demesnes under the altered social and political conditions of modem times. So far as an aristocracy, in the strict understanding of the term, may be said to have existed under American institu- tions—and it is an undoubted historical fact that a quite formal aristocratic society obtained throughout the colonial period and for some time subsequently, especially in New York, — the Van Rensselaers represented alike its highest attained privileges, its most elevated organization, and its most dignified expression. They were, in the first place, nobles in the old country, which cannot be said of any of the other manorial families of New York, although several of these claimed gentle descent.

    Ancestry of George W. Bush (b. 1946) Page 1 of 150 Ancestry of George W. Bush compiled by William Addams Reitwiesner The following material on the immediate ancestry of George W. Bush was initially compiled from two sources: The ancestry of his father, President George Bush, as printed in Gary Boyd Roberts, Ancestors of American Presidents, First Authoritative Edition [Santa Clarita, Cal.: Boyer, 1995], pp. 121-130. The ancestry of his mother, Barbara Bush, based on the unpublished work of Michael E. Pollock, [email protected]. The contribution of the undersigned consists mostly in collating and renumbering the material cited above, adding considerable information from the decennial censuses and elsewhere, and HTML-izing the results. The relationships to other persons (see the NOTES section below) are intended to be illustrative rather than exhaustive, and are taken mostly from Mr. Roberts' Notable Kin and Ancestors of American Presidents books, with extensions, where appropriate, from John Young's American Reference Genealogy and from my own, generally unpublished, research.

SAMUEL PROVOOST, FIRST BISHOP OF NEW YORK.* AN ADDRESS TO THE GENEALOGICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY. By Gen. Ja.s. Grant Wilson. [With a Portrait of BishoJ> Provoost.) Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen : " It is a pleasing fancy which the elder Disraeli has preserved, somewhere, in amber, that portrait-painting had its origin in the inventive fondness of a girl, who traced upon the wall the iirofile of her sleeping lover. It was an outline merely, but love could always fill it up and make it live. It is the most that I can hope to do for my dear, dead brother. But how many there are—the world-wide circle of his friends, his admiring diocese, his attached clergy, the immediate inmates of his heart, the loved ones of his hearth—from whose informing breath it will take life, reality, and beauty." These beautiful words are borrowed from Bishop Doane, of New Jersey, who used them as an introductory paragraph in a memorial of one of Bishop Pro- voost's successors, Jonathan Mayhew Wainwright.

Descendants of Barvalis Elizabeth Klock Generation No. 1 2 1 1. BARVALIS ELIZABETH KLOCK (HENDRICK ) was born 1697 in Gravenweisbach, Germany, and died in Fort Plain, Montgomery Cty. New York. She married CHRISTIAN NELLIS February 28, 1717/18 in Palatine, Montgomery Co. New York. He was born 1697 in Germany, and died 1771 in Mohawk Valley. Notes for BARVALIS ELIZABETH KLOCK: Also known as Barbara. Birth: Klock/Clock Genealogy Marriage: Old Palatine Church Pamphlet; Page 31, Record gives date of marriage as Feb. 29, 1718. 1718 was not a leap year so I used Feb. 28, 1717/18 as date of marriage.

Christian is buried in the Old Klock cemetery east of St. Johnsville, N.Y. , and it is likely that Barvalis is buried there, also, although the stone next to that of Christian's bears no name of date.

Notes for DAVIDSE PIETERSE SCHUYLER: David Schuyler by Stefan Bielinski David Pieterse Schuyler was a pioneer member of early Albany's most important New Netherland family. He was born in Holland in 1636, a younger son of German-born Amsterdam baker Pieter Diercks and Geertruy Philips van Schuyler. He spent the first decade and a half of his life in Amsterdam. By the mid-1650s, he had emigrated to New Netherland with his older brother, Philip Pieterse. Settling in Rensselaerswyck, the Schuylers initially were carpenters but quickly found fortune in trading for furs. By 1660, both brothers were listed among the principal fur traders of the community. In 1657, he married Catalina Ver Planck - the daughter of a New Amsterdam trader. Settling along the Albany waterfront near the north gate, David Schuyler traded for furs and for countryside produce. His marriage produced eight children between 1659 and 1678. He was a member and officer of the Albany Dutch Church. After serving in a number of civic positions during the 1660s, '70s, and early 1680s, in 1686, this city father was appointed alderman under the Albany city charter. He served as alderman for the third ward until his death.
