December 9th 12 clear had Dr Swezey this Mor gave med for chills There was a Physician named Gilbert Hopkins Sweezey who been born and grew up in Brookhaven (1860 census). He appears to have lived in Manhattan (1870 & 1880 census) and both Brookhaven and Queens (1900) and maintained a practice in the Brookhaven area. Louise Smith was attended by G. Swezey, MD, at her death in 1890. 19 A cold day V washing went to Patchogue at night with J Seaman As discussed on pages # 15 and 32, John D. Seaman was a stage coach driver. He apparently had a run to Patchogue. According to the HPDB, John D. Seaman was a “border” in the home of Emily and Jessie Robinson. 21 went to Brooklyn to day Her first visit with Carrie since the marriage? 22 at Carries to day quite pleasant On page # 48, Hannah writes that Carrie lived at 11 Patchen Ave. This is the same address that David, Mary L. and Katie had in the 1880 census. 11 Patchen Ave is almost to the intersection with Broadway in Brooklyn. In 1880, Smith Cox and Alice (Nettie) and Emily Raynor lived at 57 Patchen Ave. In 1870, David and family had lived in the same house with the Cox family. This is about at the corner of Patchen and Lexington Ave, further south toward Fulton Street. S 23 Sun quite pleasant went to Reed St to church Janes United Methodist Church is at the corner of “Reid” Street and Monroe Street, one block west of Patchen Ave. It was named for Edmond Storer Janes (1807-1876) who in 1844 was elected Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The church was dedicated in 1884. A devasting fire destroyed the 101 year old building in 1984. 24 Stormy spent the day at Davids 11 Patchen Ave, same as Carrie 25th all went to Allies to Christmas dinner “Allie” is Ann (Valentine) Cox, wife of Elbert/Albert Cox and mother of Smith Cox. A book on “Cox” genealogy states that Ann Valentine was the daughter of William and Catherine (Smith) Valentine. She was born about 1818. Footnotes for page # 83: 12 clear had Dr Swezey this Mor gave med for chills See, sweezey.com. On page # 82, we noted that Louise Smith was attended by G. Swezey, MD, at her death. This information came from the HPDB for Louisa N. Seaman, who was John Ellis Smith’s wife. Gilbert Hopkins Sweezey (the spelling according to “sweezey.com”) was an interesting person. According to “sweezey.com” he was born in Brookhaven and apparently lived in New York City and, at least in 1900, in both Queens and Brookhaven. This is “Gilbert Hopkins Seezey, who was married to Susan and had many children including a son named “Van Rensselaer” and a daughter named “Charlotte.” In “sweezey.com” his ID # is 100847.

Gilber is also listed in the 1900 census for Queens County, New York. Here is the entry: 1900 Census - Living in Queens Co., NY (Apr 1842) with wife Susan (Feb 1851) and children: Lillian (July 1874), Dora (Dec 1877), Sarah (Aug 1880), Florence (Dec 1881), Charles (Sept 1888) and Charlotte (July 1880). Married 26 years with 7 children, all still alive. Everyone born in NY, except Susan's mother (Mass). He is a Physician. Listed as "Gilbert Swezey". Daughter Charlotte is listed as either 16 or 19. There may be more children that I am missing. There is no plot in Yaphank for son Van Rensselaer, though all his other children are buried there. I found a listing on the Internet from the LDS site that shows a son, Frank Robinson Sweezey (b. 30 Dec 1897, Yaphank, Suffolk Co.) to Gilbert Hopkins and Susan Emily Sweezey. If this date is correct, Frank's mother Susan would have been 46 years old, plus I would have seen Frank in the 1900 census. I believe that Frank is a son, but that the birth date is wrong. Since I can not find this family in the 1880 census for Suffolk County, I have no way to verify this son. Frank could have been born in 1879 instead of 1897. This would have made sense, because he would have been 21 years old by 1900, and not living with his parents. I guess it is also possible that he was born in 1897, and died before the 1900 census. I will look for more information before I add him as a son. I just found more information that lists another daughter - Dora Catherine b. 22 dec 1875. I found the 1880 census, and Frank is not listed. I am not sure what to make of that listing I found on the Internet for a son named Frank. If the 1900 census is accurate, I believe I have identified all 8 children. And if one has died by 1900, then it must be son Frank, since all others are alive in 1900. I found Gilbert in the "Directory of Deceased American Physicians 1804 - 1929". And it lists his death date as 9 Oct 1909 in Bay Side, Nassua Co., NY. His practice was in "Allopath", whatever that is. Obit from the New York Times: "SWEZEY - After a short illness, on Sunday, 3 Oct 1909, at North Falmouth, Mass., Gilbert H.

  • Everyday Life in a Dutch Colony
    Everyday Life in a Dutch Colony An Educational Resource from the New York State Archives Compelling Question: How do people succeed in a new place or environment? Courtesy: Len Tantillo Bakers in the Colony Objective: Describe the purpose of bakers in the colony and explain how bakers contributed to daily life in the colony. Essential Question: How did bakers contribute to the growth and success of the colony? Historical Background: Bread was the main staple of the Dutch diet both in the Netherlands and in the colony of New Netherland. Residents of the colony ate at least three times a day and bread was a key part of every meal. Bread in New Netherland was made mostly from wheat which could be grown in abundance in this part of the world. Bakers baked both rye and wheat bread. White bread was the most desirable bread and therefore was consumed mainly by the wealthier residents of the colony. Baking was a labor-intensive process that required significant amounts of time. The ovens were built with large bricks designed to stay hot for long periods of time. First, the baker would heat the oven with wood and clean out the residue when the oven was hot enough. Then the oven would be wiped clean with a wet cloth attached to the end of a stick. The baker had to knead the dough by hand or foot. Rye bread had to bake for 12 hours, while wheat bread had to rise twice and bake for an hour. The baker would blow his horn when the bread was ready so that his customers would know they could now purchase the bread and other baked goods.

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.

  • Correspondence of Maria Van Rensselaer (1669-1689)
    CORRESPONDENCE OF MARIA VAN RENSSELAER 1669-1689 Translated and edited by A. J. F. VAN LAER Archivist, Archives and History Division ALBANY THE UNIVERSITY OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK I 935 PREFACE In the preface to the Correspondence of Jeremias van Rens­ selaer, which was piiblished in 1932, attention was called to the fact that after the death of Jeremias van Rensselaer his widow carried on a regular correspondence with her husband's youngest brother, Richard van Rensselaer, in regard to the administration of the colony of Rensselaerswyck, and the plan was announced to publish this correspondence in another volume. This plan has been carried into effect in the present volume, which contains translations of all that has been preserved of the correspondence of Maria van Rensselaer, including besides the correspondence with her brother-in-law many letters which passed between her and her brother Stephanus van Cortlandt and other members of the Van Cortlandt family. Maria van Rensselaer was born at New York on July 20, 1645, and was the third child of Oloff Stevensen van Cortlandt and his wife Anna Loockermans. She married on July 12, 1662, when not quite 17 years of age, Jeremias van Rensselaer, who in 1658 had succeeded his brother Jan Baptist van Rensse­ laer as director of the colony of Rensselaerswyck. By him she had four sons and two daughters, her youngest son, Jeremias, being born shortly after her husband's death, which occurred on October 12, 1674. As at the time there was no one available who could succeed Jeremias van Rensselaer as director of the colony, the burden of its administration fell temporarily upon his widow, who in this emergency sought the advice of her brother Stephanus van Cortlandt.

  • Of Walter Ellis Lansing*
    THE FAMILY OF WALTER ELLIS LANSING [JllllllllllllllllllllllOUllllOUllllllTWIJIQIHQill[QIJ]llJUIQUU!!nzn· I THE }"AMILY OF WALTER ELLIS LANSING* PRfil'ACE Several genealogists have one Gerrit Frederiskse Lansing as the progenitor of the LansinP; Family in America. Among these have been Claude G. ~ unsell, "The Lansing Family", Jonathan Pearson, '"Geneal ogies of the First Settlers of Albany" (New York) and, S. V. Talcott, "New York and New England Families". In the New York r.enealogical and Biographical RECORD . Vol. 65 (1934), pages 56-58~ and Vol. 72 (1941) pages 26~28(a), contributions by William J. Hoffman, M.E., cites convincinP: research to the effect that the name of the progenitor was r.errit Gerritse (or Gerritze) Lansing and that he died in The Netherlands, probably in 16~3, and that his wife Elizabeth Hendrickse and her six children came to Ameri~a with her 2nd husband, Wouter Albertse (van den Uythoff) in the fall of 1655. This and other documents relatizu.r to this family are attached as background information. I am taking the position that (1) Gerrit Gerritse Lansing, a baker, was the father of the six children who came to America with their mother in 1655, (2) that Gerrit Gerritse Lansing died in The Netherlands and never came to America and \3) that Wouter Albertse van den Uythoff \baker), the 2nd husband, came with (or shortly before) the mother and six children (3 boys and 3 girls ) to America. Munsell states: "The Lansing family comprise one of America's oldest and most distinguished families. The family is closely associated with the found­ ing of the first European settlements in the valley of the Upper Hudson, a.t what is now Albany.

  • Hendrick C. Van Ness (1924-2008) Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
    Hendrick C. Van Ness (1924-2008) Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Hendrick C. Van Ness was best known as an author of the classic text Introduction to Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics , which since 1959 (2nd edition) has had world-wide sales of over 666,000 copies. No other chemical-engineering text has been so long in print and reached so many students. Van Ness received B.S.(1944) and M.S.(1946) degrees from the University of Rochester. His M.S. thesis advisor was Joseph J. Martin, later (1971) President of AIChE. The thesis was on The Effect of Agitation on the Rate of Dissolution of Salts in Water . The war-induced shortage of teachers and the flood of returning World-War-II veterans provided him at age 21 entry into the academic world, and he served as a full- time Instructor in Engineering (1945--1947), teaching not only Unit Operations for chemical engineers but Mechanics and Strength of Materials for mechanical engineers as well. Then came two years (1947-1949) employment as a chemical engineer with a Hendrick C. Van Ness major engineering company. In 1949 he began as a doctoral student at Yale University. The D. Eng. degree was granted in 1953. His thesis advisor was Barnett F. Dodge, an eminent thermodynamicist, who in 1955 was President of AIChE. The thesis was on The Effects of Hydrogen at High Pressure on the Mechanical Properties of Metals . It should not escape notice that neither thesis had anything to do with thermodynamics. Then followed four years (1952-1956) as an Assistant Professor at Purdue University, devoted primarily to teaching, including assignments to his first courses in thermodynamics.
