PREFACE

Any contribution to the early history of New York City­ first known as New Amsterdam-awakens peculiar interest. The pioneer men and women who laid the foundations or endured the hardships of life in the formative period of the Metropolis of the Empire State deserve to be held in grateful remembrance. These pioneers were not titled people. But few of them possessed wealth. They were quite unconscious of doing anything to be recorded in history. No professional chronicler was at hand to take note of their brave deeds. They are known to us today chiefly through the public records of the State and of the Church,-when they were born, and married and died, and what property they ac­ quired, and to whom it was transmitted,-to obtain even these facts is no slight labor. The writer has attempted to do more than this with reference to the families of which he treats. Every available incident in the individual lives of the Colonial period is introduced in the printed page, so that the work becomes a series of biographical studies. There are two distinct periods in the Colonial history of New York-the Dutch period of 50 years, extending from 1614 to 1664, the date of Stuyvesant's surrender to the English fleet-and the English period of 160 years, from 1664 to 1778, when the Revolutionary War began. Among the pioneers who figured conspiciously in both these periods were some whose lives have not hitherto been made prominent. Their names are Cresson, de la Plaine, Anthony, Steenwyck, Brouwer, de Foreest, Wessels, Gouver­ neur, le Chevalier, Roome, Courten, Drisius, Selyns, Roose- 6 Preface velt, and De Riemer. These were all affiliated by marriage with the De Riemer family, most of them previous to 1700 A. D. This volume is necessarily a compilation, and is therefore not infallible. It is prepared especially for the descendants of the above named families whose worthy ancestors played so important a part in those early Colonial days, yet it can­ not fail to interest any others who desire information upon that-history. No serious attempt has been made to trace these family histories previous to their advent in the New World, though it is evident from the names that a majority of them origin­ ated in France, and are of Huguenot descent. Especial care has been taken to give in the foot notes the authorities consulted, chief of whom is Judge David T. Val­ entine, author of a history of New York City, and compiler of the Manuals of the City of New York.

REV. w. E. DE RIEMER. "YOUNG MAN, WHOSE SON ART THOU?" (King Saul to David.)

"THE MAN WHO DOES NOT RESPECT HIS ANCESTORS, IS UNLIKELY TO DO DEEDS FOR WHICH POSTERITY WILL RESPECT HIM. ,, (Said at a Banquet of the Society of Colonial Wars.)

"FORTUNES ARE AMASSED AND DISSIPATED, DYNASTIES RISE AND PASS AWAY, BUT ONE'S NAME IS YET SAFELY TRANSMITTED FROM FATHER TO SON, AN INHERITANCE OF TO-DAY FROM A REMOTE AND OTHERWISE UNKNOWN ANCESTRY." (Bowditch., at a Banquet of Soc. of Col. Wars, New York City.)

The De Riemer Family.

A. D. 1640 (? J-1903.

The progenitors of the De Riemer family in New Amsterdam were Isaac De Riemer and Lysbet Grevenraet (sometimes spelled Greveraad, and Greefraadt, and Graeveradt), sister of Isaac Grevenraet, and daughter of Metje G. The name De Riemer ( variously spelled de Rymer, D'Ryomer, and De Reamer, De Remer, and Deromer) indicates a French origin and Huguenot stock, but this couple were from Holland. Genealogists concede, what a thorough investigation of Dutch records will doubtless prove, that the family ancestors were refugees from France who lla.d, some generations previously, on account of anti-Romish convictions, fled from France and re­ mained in Holland until they had become adherents of the Reformed religion and users of the Dutch language. G. W. Schuyler (in G1 olonial New York, Vol. II, p. 426), says that Nicholas Gouverneur and his wife Machtelt De Riemer were of French extraction, but emigrated to New Amsterdam through Holland.

"Was a naval surgeon." Isaac and Lysbet were doubtless married in Holland. Four children were brought with them to New Amsterdam, unless we except the fourth. The children's names were: Margaretta, Pieter, Machtelt and Huybert. Pieter's birth is known to have occurred in 1643. In his testimony before a Riot Commission in 1790, he declared himself to be about 47 years of age (Hist. Col., N. Y., Vol. III, pp. 740-1), and it is supposed that the family arrived in this country about the time of his birth. Valentine tells us that Isaac was a prosperous young mer­ chant of the city, but his residence in the city of Manhattan seems to have been brief, and no reference is found to his death. Lysbet (Grevenraet) his widow married a second time, Elbert Elbertsen, a glazier by trade. Elbertsen died suddenly, as appears from the following record: Nov. 9, 1655, "The Burgo­ masters, in their quality of orphanmasters, report the death of Elbert Elbertsz on board the Bonte Ko~ in North River. Rynier Rycken is appointed his Attorney, and Secretary Kip to inven­ tory his estate." (Original Records of Burgomasters and Orphan­ masters.) Lysbet was married the third time on Feb. 14, 1659 (Mar. Record, Reformed Dutch Church, New York), to Rev. Samuel Drisius, assistant pastor of the New York Dutch Church. Rev. Mr. Drisius died in 1672, but his wife survived him until Dec. 25, 1687. In the Manual ofNew York City for 1855, p. 484, occurs this history: "Lysbet Greveraet married first Mr. De Riemer, a young merchant of this city, and after his death she became the wife of Dominie Samuel Drisius, who, in 1652 was appointed to assist in his clerical duties in N. Amsterdam that worthy old servant, the Rev. Megapolensis. She brought to him a consider­ able property, consisting of real estate, and the mercantile effects of her late husband. It is one of the peculiar features of those early times that the ladies of some of the most affluent and dis­ tinguished citizens, whose callings were of a professional char­ acter, conducted mercantile pursuits in their own names. This was true of 'Mother Drisius,' as she was familiarly called, who kept a thread-and-needle store in the best business part of the town, on the present Pearl St., between Whitehall and Broad." She is also mentioned as having lived on Langs Strat in her later The De Riemer Family 9 years, and as selling property in 1682 as follows: To John Pound, 1 lot 23 x 60 ft. for $25; to Wm. Churcher, 1 lot for 350 guilders, or $30. In the Baptismal register of the New York Dutch Church her name as godmother occurs early and often. As the wife of Dominie Drisius she doubtless exerted a wide influence and filled a large place in the social and religious life of those early Dutch colonists. Valentine again speaks praisingly of her as the mother-in-law of Hon. Cornelius Steenwyck (Val. Manual, 1853, p. 381). "She was a worthy woman, and as Steenwyck himself was in early life in this country without relatives, his own respectable character was no doubt due, in some measure, to the counsels of his mother­ in-law. The widow De Riemer afterward married Dominie Samuel Drisius, one of the early preachers of the Dutch Church. She survived the Dominie who died in 1672. She had no child­ ren by him. She d. Dec. 25, 1687, at an advanced age." (Val. Manual, 1858, p. 538, and Pearson's First Settlers of Albany.) In Dominie Selyns' Memo of the members of the church in 1686, Lysbet is mentioned as living on Langs Strat (along the Strand.) (Wilson's Memo. Hist. of City of New York, Vol. I, p. 447). In her will, of which her son Pieter De Riemer is made adminis­ trator, she mentions Mrs. Margaret Steenwyck, Machtelt Gouver­ neur, widow of Nicholas G., deceased, Mr. Pieter De R., and her deceased son Huybert, and his children Isaac and Elizabeth, got­ ten by Catherine. (In the N. Y. Hist. Society, Abstract of Wills, Vol. I, p. 150, her death is mentioned as occurring Feb. 13, 1686.)

DOMINIE SAMUEL DRISIUS

In 1652, Dominie Samuel Drisius, from Leyden, arrived at Manhattan to become the assistant pastor of the Reformed Church. His ability to preach in several languages, ( Dutch, French and English) was a prime qualification at that time. For twenty years, and until his death in 1672, he served the church most acceptably. In 1659, Feb. 14, the Dominie was married to Lysbet Greven­ raet, widow of Isaac De Riemer, the progenitor of the latter fam­ ily in America, and secondly widow of Elbert Elbertsen. She bore Drisius no children, and survived him fifteen years. Valentine says: "A great part of the northerly portion of the city, extending along the line of Wall St., was granted by Gover­ nor Stuyvesant to the officiating clergyman in the Dutch Church, Dominie Drisius." This tract was familiarly called the Sheep Pasture. It extended from the present line of New Street to William Street, and from Wall to Beaver Streets, and is described in the grant as "to the south of the land of Jan Jansen Darnen, breadth on the west side 21 rods, on the east 15 rods, length on the north 33 rods." (A Dutch rod equals 13 feet.) "The first improvements on the Sheep Pasture," says Mr. Moss, "were the cottages which were built in 1690 at the N. E. corner of Exchange Place & Broad Sts., which corner is now occupied by the Mills 10 The De Riemer Family

Building." Martha Lamb presents this pleasant picture of the clergyman. "Dominie Drisius lived in a pretty cottage on the north side of Pearl Street, below Broad. He exerted a healthful influence over the church, and took an active interest in political affairs. In 1653, he was sent as Ambassador to Virginia and con­ cluded an important commercial treaty with Governor Bennett. * * * When the Dominie first arrived in New York he was a middle-aged widower. He subsequently married Lysbeth. the widow of Isaac Graverat (sz"c) (De Riemer). She held a large property in her own right, and is often mentioned upon the tax­ lists ( after his death) as ' Mother Drisius.' The will of Dominie Drisius, which was made Sept. 17, 1669, proven Dec. 18, 1688 ( 1672 ?),* gives his entire estate to his wife during her life, the residue at her death to go to Jane Slade of London. His books were granted to his godson Isaac Steenwyck, son of the Mayor. The will of widow Drisius, proven Jan. 5, 1688, divides her entire property into four parts, the fourth part to be held by the widow (Catherine) of her deceased son Huybert, for the benefit of 'his two children until they are of age or married."

MARGHARETTA DE RIEMER

2. MARGHARETTA I DE RIEMER (Isaac De R£emer, 1), m. (1) June S, 1658, in New Amsterdam Reformed Dutch Church, Cornelis Steenwyck; m. (2) Oct. 20, 1686, Dominie Henricus Selyns, Pas­ tor of New York Dutch Church, worshipping in the Fort church and later in the new church erected on Garden Street. She bore to Steenwyck seven children: i. Margariet 1 Steenwyck, bap. Sept. 17, 1659, in the Re­ formed Dutch Church of New Amsterdam. Wit­ nesses: Dominie Samuel Drisius, Lysbet Greven­ raets. ii. Jacob Steenwyck, bap. Nov. 13, 1661, in the Reformed Dutch Church, situated in the Fort. Witnesses: Martin Cregier, Burgomaster, Johannes Van Brugh, Schepen, and J uffron Judith Stuyvesant, wife of Director Stuyvesant. iii. Jacob Steenwyck, bap. Feb. 24, 1664, in the old Fort Dutch Church. Witnesses: Gillies Van Hoornbeck and Judith Bayard. iv. Isaac Steenwyck, bap. Dec. 28, 1666. Witnesses: Dom­ inie Samuel Drisius and Catherine Roelofs. (As the Dominie regarded himself the godfather of this child when he made his will in 1669, he bequeathed his entire library to him.) v. Cornelis Steenwyck, bap. April 7, 1669.

vii. Jacobus Steenwyck, bap. May 25, 1676(?). Witnesses: Duminie Wilhelmus V. Nieuwenhausen and Susanna de Foreest (afterward the wife of his uncle Pieter De Riemer). NoTE.-It seems to have been the custom of those times when a young child died to let the next born inherit the name of the deceased child, hence there were two Jacobs and two Cornelises in this family. As none of the above children are mentioned in the marriage list of the Dutch Church, and as none of them ap­ pear in the wills made by either Cornelis * or Margharetta, t it appears that none of them reached mature years. Hence this branch of the De Riemer ·family terminates with this genera­ tion.-EDITOR. Margharetta De Riemer was apparently, as she is always mentioned first, the oldest of the four children of Isaac De Riemer and Lysbet Grevenraet. The place and date of her birth are not yet ascertained. Neither have we any account of her maiden life. The meagre history which is at hand concerns itself only with her married life, which was indeed most fortun­ ate. She was·successively the wife of two men who left marked impressions on the manners and events of their day-men whose names will never be dissociated with the formative period of the great Metropolis. Her first marriage was celebrated June 5, 1658 (N. Y. Gen. & Biog. Record, Vol. VII, p. 62 ), to De Heer Cornelis Steenwyck who came from Harlem in r652.t This man proved to be one of the mos~ wealthy, respected and eminent men of his day. He held high official positions, both during the Dutch and English regimes. As her husband was suscessively a Schepen, Burgo­ master, Mayor and acting Lieut.-Governor, it is but natural that Margharetta bis wife should have occupied an enviable social distinction. Mrs. John King Van Renssalaer says (Tke Goede Vrouw of Mana-ka-ta, p. 147): "A highly esteemed lady who lived in Mana-ha-ta was Margharetta De Riemer; she married Cornelis Steenwyck, and lived on the corner of Bridge and Whitehall Sts. This couple were very rich, and they loved to gather around their great square dining-table all the young peo­ ple of the neighborhood, and the weekly supper-parties of Madame Steenwyck were noted far and near. Their house was a typical one of the day, and an inventory of its furniture has fortunately been preserved. The dwelling room was provided with 12 Russia-leather chairs, and 2 velvet chairs with fine silver lace; one cupboard of French nut-wood; one round and one square table; one cabinet; 13 pictures and a large looking-glass: :five alabaster images; a piece of tapestry for cushions; a flowered tabby chimney-cloth; a pair of flowered tabby curtains; a dress­ ing-box and a carpet. In the fore-room was a marble table;

* Comelis and Maxgharetta made a joint will on Nov. 20, 1684; proven after the death of Comelis, Aprll 28. 1685. t Margbaretta Selyns made her final will Jan. 25, 17n, which was proven Feb. 4, 1712. t The first marriage record in the New Amsterdam Reformed Dutch Church of which there is any certainty, was made Dec.• 1639. The first De Riemer marriage recorded was this of Margharetta to De Heer Cornelis Steenwyck. 12 The De Riemer Family eleven pictures; seven Russia-leather chairs; a clock, etc." She bore to Steenwyck seven children whose names were Margariet, Jacob, Jacob, Isaac, Cornelis, Cornelis, Jacobus, Isaac only reach­ ing mature years, and is mentioned in the will of Dominie Drisius. Sept. 17, 1669, as heir to all his library, but nothing further is recorded of him. Steenwyck died in 1684, and on Oct. 20, 1686, his widow mar­ ried the widower Dominie Henricus Selyns, who, from 1682 till his death in 1701, was the efficient pastor of the New York Dutch Church. Here again, chosen to preside over the home of the leading pastor of the young city as her mother's successor, we have proof of her social and intellectual worth. It is worthy of note that the mother of this lady was the pastor's wife at New York during the stormy days of the capture of the city by the English in 1664, and in its re-capture by the Dutch in 1673 and its final surrender to the English in 1674,-while the daughter Marghareta was the pastor's wife in the same church during the Leislerian excitement in 168g--g1, and that her nephews Isaac De Riemer and Abraham Gouverneur were active partisans of Leister. This De Riemer mother and her daughter therefore, were most vitally connected with the political as well as the social and religious events of the 17th Century in New York.

HON. CORNELIS STEENWYCK

Hon. Cornelis Steenwyck, Merchant, Schepen, Burgomaster, Mayor, Lieut-Governor, Capt. of Cavalry, Councillor of State. This worthy man was a true type of the Hollander. He came to New Amsterdam in 1652 in the employ of the West India Com­ pany, in very moderate circumstances, and apparently without any of his relatives. His birth place was Haarlem. He grad­ ually embarked in private business. His qualification for mer­ cantile pursuits was admirable, being particularly noted for his correct and neat accounts. His staple article of foreign trade was tobacco, which was especially produced in Virginia. He soon became the owner of his own ships. In time he constructed of stone a substantial store and dwelling on the southeast corner of the present Whitehall and Bridge (De Brugh) Streets. His sterling qualities were soon recognized, and he is spoken of as "one of the most influential citizens of his times." When gossip­ ing tongues assailed him he prosecuted the slanderers in the courts until they were punished. In 1657 when '' Burgher Rights" were accorded to the people, Steenwyck was classed as a Great Burgher by the payment of 70 guilders into the public treasury. Two years before this he had been taxed one hundred guilders for strengthening the fortifications of the city, and was ranked as "Ensign." (De Heer Allard Anthony presented 100 guilders and Dominies Megapolensis and Drisius each presented 50 guilders. Paulding's New Anzsterdam, p. 87.) In the first pub­ lished City Directory, Steenwyck holds in the 1st Class, Allard The De Riemer Family 13

Anthony in the 2d Class, while Pieter de Rymer and Isaac Grev­ enraet are in the 3d Class. His successful business, and his sterling qualities naturally made him a shining mark for political honors. In 1658 he was selected as one of the five Schepens, or Assistant Aldermen, along with Isaac de Foreest, and again selected for the office in 1660. In 1662 he was appointed one of the Board of two Burgo­ masters, an honor which he held during 1664-5 and 6. Under the English regime he was appointed Mayor of New York in 1668-9 and 70, and again in 1682-3. Governor Lovelace, during his absence in Virginia in 1671 appointed him Governor pro tern. On Aug. 11, 1673, after the recapture of New York by the Dutch, the Governor appointed him captain of a volunteer troop of horse. He also made him his Chief Councillor, Aug. 12, 1673. On Sept. 9, 1664, when Nichols demanded the surrender of the city of Director Stuyvesant, Burgomaster Cornelis Steenwyck was appointed to draw up the articles of capitulation on the part of the Dutch. This document was signed and presented by the members of the Board to Nichols and was signed by him for the English. (Dawson·s Ht"st. Magazine, Sept. 1, 1867, p. 400.) After the capture of the city, Steenwyck was one of those who submitted with good grace to the enevitable change and tried to conciliate both parties. Valentine says (Manual, 1853, p. 381; and ditto, 1864, p. 633): "When Governor Nichols called an assembly of the people in 1665 to consult about repairing the fortifications, Steenwyck made this characteristic speech with its Dutch brogue: 'As e Governor has been pleased to put e Honorable Mayor and Aldermen for to look to e best of e town and e inhabitants of t' same, what they sall think fit and necessary for e best thereof, he being but ordered, sall always be found a willing and faithful subject.' " "This individual. whom we believe to have been the most in­ fluential citizen among the commonality of his day, held several public offices after the accession of the English. Although a Dutchman, such was the confidence in his integrity held by the English in 1671, that during the temporary absence of Gov. Lovelace in Virginia he appointed Steenwyck Governor pro tem of the Province." When, according to the terms of peace agreed upon between England and Holland, New York was finally turned over to the former on Nov. 3, 1674, Heer Cornelis Steenwyck and Heer Burgomaster Johannes Van Brugh and William Beekman were appointed by the Burgomasters and Schepens to go on board the ship Diamond and welcome Heer Governor Andrews, and solicit from him favors for the city and Province. (Doc. Ht."st. of State of N. Y., Vol. III, p. 47.) During the last term of Steenwyck's mayoralty, in 1683, the city was divided into six wards. It then contained about three thousand inhabitants. As might be supposed, Steenwyck was both a charitable and a religious man, one of the principal supporters of the Dutch Church, to which he gave by will at his death, the Manor of The De Riemer Family

Fordham for the maintenance of the ministers. He was the second man in the province of New York in point of wealth, all of which had been acquired in his trade as merchant, and in real estate, and made, it is admitted, by the most scrupulous methods. The inventory of his property included several houses and lands beside cash and household furnishings, amounting to £4,382. His book accounts numbered some £1,588, including the name of almost every man in the city. A portrait of Cornelis Steenwyck is in possession of the N. Y. Historical Society.

DOMINIE HENRICUS SELYNS

Dominie Henricus Selyns was born in New Amsterdam in 1636. He received his clerical education in Holland and came back to America to become the pastor of the Reformed Dutch Church in Brooklyn, organized by pastor Polhemus. He was ordained Feb. 16, 1660, and after a pastorate of four years he re­ signed and returned to Holland. Upon the death of Dominie Drisius in 1672, a call was extend­ ed to Rev. Mr. Selyns by the New Amsterdam Dutch Church which he declined. Again, after the death of Rev. Mr. Nieuwen­ huysen in 1682, another call was extended which he accepted, continuing his ministry until his death in 1701. It is recorded that Director Stuyvesant bargained that the Dominie should preach as an extra service upon his farm and instruct his negroes, for which consideration the Director agreed to pay half his sal­ ary. Dominie Selyns, :first marriage was to Machtelt Specht, by whom he had one daughter named Agneta, baptized July 9, 1663, This wife having died, his second marriage occurred on Oct. 20, 1686, to Juffron Margaretta De Riemer, widow of De Heer Cor­ nelius Steenwyck, by whom he had no children. Selyns de­ scribed her as " rich in temporal goods, but richer in spiritual." The Dominie was a poet of rare gifts. A little volume of his poems is extant, from which some of the choice numbers are pre­ sented to us in Murphy's Antltology of tlte New Netherlands. In Dawson's Histor£cal Magaz-ine, Sept.t 1867, it is stated that be did more than any other man to determine the prosperity of his church, which had increased its membership from 450 in 1682, to 650 in 1701. He was the pastor during the perilous days of the so-called Leisleran rebellion of 1689-90, which threatened to disrupt his church. He took strong ground against Leisler and his Council, some of whom were related to his wife, and he was severely arrainged by members of the church who sent a strong remonstrance against him to the Classis at Amsterdam, Oct. 21, 1698. Notwithstanding this serious trouble, the Dominie was act­ ually and successfully engaged in the construction of a new edifice for the New York Dutch Church-the third one since they began worship in Molemacher's mill. It was finished in The De Riemer Family 15

1693, and was much larger than its predecessor. "It was situ­ ated on a beautiful garden spot belonging to Mrs. Dominie Drisius, fronting on Garden Alley, now Exchange Place." In the following year a beautiful baptismal bowl was purchased, costing "twenty silver ducats." Dominie Selyns prepared an inscription, indicating the significance of the baptismal rite, which was engraved upon its outer surface. This bowl is still owned by the Fifth Avenue Dutch Church. No authentic will of the Dominie has been discovered, but a partial one (unsigned, and dated 1712 ?) was found in which he mentions Abraham Gouverneur, Isaac Gouverneur, and Elisabet Nissepadt, children of sister Magtel Nissepadt, to whom he de­ sired to beqneath three-sixths of his residuary estate.

PIETER DE RIEMER

3. PIETER 2 DE RIEMER (Isaac De Ri~mer, 1), glazier, b. 1643; d. 1702, in New York City; will dated Jan. 29, 1697; proven Oct. 5, 1702; m. Jan.· 10, 1665, Susanna de Foreest, dau. of Isaac de Foreest. Issue: 4 i. Isaac' De Riemer, II, hap. Jan. 10, 1666. Date of death not given; m. Jan. 10, 1689, Aeltje Wessels, b. at Albany; dau. of Warner Wessels and Deborah his first wife; eight children. Pieter De Riemer was the oldest son of Isaac De Riemer and Lysbet Grevenraet. He was born in 1643, probably in Amster­ dam. This date is established by his testimony before the com­ mittee of investigation respecting the New York riots. In his deposition, made June 8, 1690, he said that he was then aged about 47 years. He united with the Dutch Church of the city, July 9, 1663. He was a glazier by trade, and it is evident that he learned his trade from his stepfather, Elbert Elbertson. His marriage to Susanna de Foreest, daughter of Isaac de Foreest * and Sarah du Trieux, was recorded on Jan. 3, 1665. His resi­ dence was then "back of Perel St." ( Aghter de Peret St.), now the part of State Street curving south, as appears from a tax list levying a tax on property holders to support the British soldiers who were quartered upon the recently captured city. In Valen­ tine's History of New York, p. 332, Pieter is located upon Beurs Street or_ Exchange Street, together with his son Isaac, his wid­ owed sister Margaretta Steenwyck, Jacob Teller, and bis cousin Andries Grevenrath. (Wilson's Memor£al H£st., Vol. I, p. 447): "At a meeting of the Governor and Council, held in Fort Wm. Hendrick Oct. 8, 1673, the Burgomasters of the city being pres­ ent, the Governor submitted to them the necessity of demolishing

•Hon.Isaac de Foreest (Brewer), was of French origin. He reached New Amsterdam from Holland about 1637; m. in New .'\.msterdam, Sarah du Trieux of Leyden, June 9, 1641. In 1652, appointed one of the " Nine Men;" in 1653. " Inspector of Tobacco;" in 1655. " Farmer of rev­ enue of Weigh-house;" in 1656, elected Schepen " by forty votes;" in 1658, became a Great Burgher and re-elected Schepen; 166o, Farmer of Tavern Excise; d. 1674. Wife Sarah du Trieux d. 16g2. Grandson Isaac De Riemer administered their estates. 16 The De Riemer Family or removing some of the houses and gardens (built 40 years be­ fore), situated under the walls of the fortress. He requested the Burgomasters to propose the same to the owners and report the result. The persons interested appeared by invitation on Oct. 10, and responded as follows: First, Pieter De Riemer is willing to remove his house, but requests that Muyen's lot, or one at the water's side be given him. Six others were questioned, viz: Symon Barenzen, Jan Schouten, Isaac Grevenrath, Jan Everzen Bout, Jan Dirckzen Mayer, Lodowyck Post. On Oct. 16, an ordinance was passed requiring all these persons to move im­ mediately, and making provisions for their indemnity by ex­ change of lots, and by levying a duty on certain imports to de­ fray their losses. This order was carried out as nearly as re­ quested. The next year (1674) the houses and lots belonging to Pieter De Riemer between Pearl and Beaver Streets were valued at $3.000." * Pieter's will was dated Jan. 29, 1697, and proven Oct. 5, 1702. In it he mentions only his son Isaac and his wife Susanna ( de Foreest) whom he appoints executor, but who died previous to the proving of the will. In it he leaves to his son Isaac all his house and lot on Bridge Street, also one-half his glazier's tools. The balance of his estate goes to his wife during her life, and afterward to Isaac. On Oct. 5, 1702, both parents being dead, his son Isaac was appointed administrator of their estates. ( N. Y. Hist. Soc. Coll., Abstract of Wills, Vol. I, p. 344.)

Isaac De Riemer, II, son of Pieter De Riemer and Susanna de Foreest, was born in this city and was baptized. as appears from the records of the Dutch Church, on Jan. 10, 1666. He ap­ pears to have been the only son and child of his parents, but, judging from his ability to make himself useful in public affairs, he was equal to a whole family of ordinary citizens. He was both merchant and politician. Valentine declares him to have been ( Ht"st. of Ct"ty of N. Y., p. 98) along with his cousins Isaac De., Jr., and Abraham Gouverneur, among the "Principal mer­ chants of the city at the close of the 17th century." He early appeared in public and military affairs. He was scarce twenty­ three years old when commissioned by Lieut.-Gov. Leister, Dec. 16, 1689, a Lieutenant-of-foot in Walter's company of N. Y. militia. He is mentioned in Colont"al N. Y. H£story, Vol. III, p. 600, as Ensign, and was examined before the Commission as to his connection with the Leislerian troubles. He was charged with countersigning Leisler's order permitting the troops to levy on private property. In his affidavit, made Feb. 24, 1691 (June 6, 1690 ?), he states that he is about 26 years of age, and he is a commissioned officer of a Militia Co. He also recites the main facts concerning the abrupt departure of Lieut.-Gov. Nicholson from the Province, and the appointment to supreme command of Capt. Jacob Leisler by successive assemblage of the citizens.

* Isaac De Riemer, II, was that year the Mayor of New York. t Nicholas Roosevelt was the son of Nicholas Roosevelt and Hillotje Jans (Kunst?), and grandson of Claas Martenszen van Roosenvelt, the progenitor of the Roosevelt family in t.be United States. (See Roosevelt Genealogy.) 18 The De Riemer Family

(O'Callaghan's J\(. Y. Hist. Soc. lollecttons, Vol. I, p. 324; see also 1Jocu1nentary Hist. of N. Y., Manuscripts, Vol. I, p. 361; Vol. II, p. 348; Vol. IV, p. 600.) He was afterwards made Captain of a company of militia of which Abraham De Peyster was the Colonel. He was married (Jan. 10 ), 1689, to Aeltje Wessels, daughter of Warnaer Wessels, formerly of Albany. {Valentine says he married 1703, Margareta Teller, daughter of Wm. Teller, a wealthy merchant formerly of Albany; and De Forest [ De Foreests of Avesnes, p. 104] says he married Maria De Foreest, but the records of the Dutch Church show that all of his eight children were born of Aeltje Wessels, and three of them were born later than 1703. His business partner, Jacob Teller, mariner, was his brother-in-law, having married Christina Wes­ sels, sister of Aeltje. Aeltje is mentioned in Christina's will, dated Sept. 17, 1698, as wife of Isaac De Riemer.) Isaac De Riemer's political life began in 1696, when he was elected an Assistant Alderman for the West Ward. In 1699 he filled the place of Alderman of West Ward and Sheriff, and was elected Treasurer of the city. The climax of his promotion came in the year 1700, when he was appointed Mayor of New York, and elected a member of the Colonial Assembly from 1700 to 1702. From 1702 to 1704 he was Alderman of the West Ward, also Collector of the South Ward in 1706. He was elected Con­ stable in 1708, and Alderman of the Out Ward in 1714 to '17. Thus he seemed quite as influential politically as his uncle Cor­ nelius Steenwyck had been before him. Valentine gives this comprehensive notice of him (Manual, 1853, p. 397): "Mr. De Riemer was a merchant, a member of an old family of this city. His grandmother was born Elizabeth Grevenraat, and married the common ancestor of this family in this country, by whom she was left a widow with four children. Isaac De Riemer married in early life. He was chosen Collector of the South Ward in 1706. For the subsequent year he was chosen Alderman. In 1708 he was elected Constable. He shortly after moved out of town, his residence being upon a hill south of Canal St., between Broadway and the North river. In 1714 he contested the election for Alderman of the Out Ward with Mr. Blagge who received the returns. Mr. De Riemer was admitted to his seat. He continued to hold this office for three years. In the time of his Mayoralty the city contained about 4,200 inhab­ itants." These were the days of bitter struggle between Leislerian and anti-Leislerian. Valentine tells (Manual, 1857, pp. 515-528) how Mayor De Riemer and his cousin Abraham Gouverneur, who was at that time City Recorder, endeavored to secure a majority of Leislerians in the Conncil. "In the spring of 1701, the new Governor took bis place and appointed as Mayor in place of De Riemer (Leislerian) Mr. Noell, who was an anti-Lei::lerian. The Recorder, Mr. Abraham Gouverneur was also a Leislerian (one of Leisler's Council who had been condemned to death with Leisler.) There was a lively struggle in the Council to get a The De Riemer Family majority of Leislerians. To accomplish this the old Mayor stole a march on the new Mayor, and swore into office all the Leisler­ ian Aldermen who presented certificates of election before the new Mayor was sworn in. This action percipitated a severe con­ test that had to be settled by the Supreme Court." The verdict of the Court unseated David Provoost and Nicholas Roosevelt (whose daughter Catherine married Steenwyck, Mayor De Riemer's son) as _t\.ldermen, and Peter W. Roome (whose great­ great-granddaughter, Hester Anthony married Mayor De Riem­ er's great-grandson Samuel), and Henry Jellison as Assistant Aldermen. The confirmed Aldermen were: Johannes de Peyster, Jacob Boelen, and Martin Clock; while Abraham Brasier, Gerrit Onclebog, and Abraham Messier were the Assistant Aldermen. All of Isaac's children were baptized in the New York Dutch Church. Their names were as follows: Petrus, Isaac, III, Anna Elizabeth, III, Susanna, Elizabeth, IV, Margarita, Isaac, IV, and Steenwyck. The date and place of birth is uncertain. No will is recorded. PETRUS DE RIEMER, II

PETRUS DE RIEMER, III

8. PETRUS i DE RIEMER, III, ( Steenwyck De Riemer, 7), goldsmith, gentleman; bap. Jan. 23, 1739; d. Oct. 2, 1814. He was born and baptized in the city, and was rated as a ''Gentleman" (possibly a "Freeman"). He also resided temporarily at Albany, and ended his days at Hyde Park, Dutchess County, where his grave and that of his ,vife are marked with stones. He and his older brother Nicholas were among the first of the De Riemers to for­ sake the customs of their day, requiring Dutch men to marry Dutch damsels. Petrus married Elsie Babbington, daughter of Samuel Babbington. Her birthplace was doubtless Albany. Petrus carefully kept his family record, and from it we glean many details of interest. His marriage to Elsie was "by Dom­ inie Jackson, between ten and eleven o'clock of Sunday morning, A1ay 10, 1763." Their union was blessed with nine children, two of whom died in infancy, and two others, Mary, called " Aunt Polly," and Anne never married. Elsie, born May 3, 1777, and * Samuel Babbington is recorded as a "Freeman" of New York City i:l 1746 (Val en tine's New York, p. 391), and his name occurs on a poll-list of the city in 1761. He is supposed to have been a son of Lieut. Samuel Babbington and his wife Elsie. who received by an act of the N. Y. Legislature, Dec. 23, 1717, 50 oz. of "plate" for services in the expedition against the French in Canada, and who, on Nov. 16, 1717, was sworn in as Sheriff of the City and County of Albany. The son Samuel was probably born in Albany about 1720. :~.' . ·~ ·.-·,:,.·.. ·. \~ ' r..:., .·~. , .,

The De Riemer Family 21

Sarah, born Aug. 16, 1781, are recorded in Munsell's Albany Gen­ ealogy, p. 116, Vol. 4, which shows that the family resided at Albany during a part of the Revolutionary period. As the youngest child, Martha, was born in New York on May 23, 1785, the family must have returned to their former home. Petrus' business was prosperous, and eleven years later, as we learn from Dutchess Co. Record of Deeds, he purchased from Nathaniel Bosworth of Poughkeepsie, a farm called the "Glebe," on the east bank of the Fallkill, for which he paid £1100. The same year, 1796, he purchased a second farm for £300 of John Swart­ wout. On July 12, 1802, Petrus bought another piece of land in Poughkeepsie of John Smith for$1000.oo. Poughkeepsie became the family residence about this time, and the old brick house built by Petrus still stands near the head of Church Street. Still later Mr. De Riemer purchased the steamboat landing at Hyde Park, and he and his son-in-law, Robert G. Livingstone, owned and operated a line of boats making regular trips to New York. Petrus De Riemer, gentleman, made his will Dec. 2, 1807, which was proven Dec. 3, 1814. A codicil, signed Oct. 1, 1814, the day before his death, mentions him as from Clinton, Dutchess County (Dutchess Co. Wills, Vol. I, p. 565). In it he mentions his wife ''Elsey," and children Samuel and Mary De Riemer, also Catherine, wife of Rev. Cornelius Brouwer, Elsey, wife of Col. James Sleight, Sarah, wife of Geo. W. Cooke, and Martha, wife of Robert G. Livingstone. On their tombstones, now standing in Hyde Park Cemetery, it is recorded that Peter died Oct. 2, 1814, aged 74 yrs., while Elsie died Oct. 19, 1818, aged 75 yrs. Issue: i.
