Mohler ABSTRACT A Dutch Woman in an English World: The Legacy Of Alida Livingston of New York Melinda M. Mohler In 1674, at the conclusion of the Third Dutch War, the Treaty of Westminster placed the Dutch New Netherlands permanently under English control. For the many businesswomen of Dutch heritage who resided in the New Netherlands during the late seventeenth century, this shift in colonial power resulted in a drastic loss of economic freedom and, in many cases, brought an end to their public business ventures. As Dutch businesswomen increasingly retreated from the public sphere, their need to document daily activities dwindled and records of their personal lives all but disappeared. A study of the correspondence of Alida Schuyler Livingston of New York, a member of the Schuyler family by birth and the Van Rensselaer and Livingston families by marriage, illuminates the life of an elite Dutch businesswoman during this transitional phase. Alida’s husband, Robert Livingston, is recognized historically for his political and mercantile ventures. However, it was his wife who managed the couple’s vast resources, including 160,000 acres of manorial land, a bakery, brewery, gristmill and sawmill. The Livingstons’ agreement to settle – and victual – Palatine refugees at Livingston Manor during the early eighteenth century resulted in disastrous financial consequences for the Livingstons and deplorable conditions for the Palatines. Alida’s administration of the manor’s industries bolstered the family’s finances and permitted them to continue to trade during the worst economic experience of their marriage. Alida Schuyler Livingston did not own land independently, write a joint will with her spouse or operate a business in her own name. However, her letters reveal that she managed and sold slaves, independently negotiated the price of wheat, supervised millers, bakers and brewers and conducted trade with local Indians during her lengthy marriage – as her husband’s equal partner. Viewed through the lens of the twenty-first century, it is tempting to pity Alida’s years of hard work that resulted in a business empire attributed to her husband. In reality, Alida Livingston did what her mother and ancestors before her had done – labored to provide financial security for her family, but under the constraints of English common law. It is through a study of her daily activities and relationships – with her husband, children, tradesmen, slaves and employees – that the extent of Alida Livingston’s contribution to the Livingston family legacy is revealed. For Mark iii Acknowledgements This project is the result of much guidance, wisdom and encouragement from a number of individuals. I would like to thank Dr. Mary Lou Lustig, my advisor, for her support and direction throughout my entire program of doctoral study. I would also like to thank committee members Dr. Jack Hammersmith, Dr. Kenneth Fones-Wolf, Dr. Elizabeth Fones-Wolf and Dr. Martha Pallante for their insightful suggestions on enhancing and strengthening my investigation of the life of Alida Livingston. In addition, I would like to offer special thanks to Dr. Martin Berger, Dr. Lowell Satre, Dr. Martha Pallante, Dr. Les Domonkos and Dr. Saul Friedman of Youngstown State University for their direction and encouragement as I began my graduate studies. The Dean’s office of the Eberly College of Arts and Sciences at West Virginia University, and the Department of History, provided generous funding for my research. Librarian Peter Thayer of Marietta College provided special assistance in the procurement of hard-to-find articles and other information. My colleagues at Marietta College, in particular Dr. Mike Tager, Dr. Matt Young, Dr. Katy McDonald and Dr. Jim O’Donnell, provided numerous opportunities for personal and professional growth.

I would also like to offer special thanks to the archivists at the Roosevelt Library in Hyde Park, New York, for their patience and support. iv Many friends and family members contributed not only to the completion of this project but also to the years of schooling upon which it rests. First and foremost, I thank my Lord and Savior for the abilities, and opportunities, He has given me. My parents, Clyde and Nellie Hicks, deserve far greater thanks than can possibly be offered in a few lines. They worked long hours and sacrificed a number of material things throughout the years to pay for my schooling. I hope to someday become the teacher my mother was. Thanks to my sister, Stephanie, for being “super sis” during some very trying times. Special thanks to James DePalma, Chuck Keeney, Katharine Antolini, Mark Myers, Eugene Van Sickle and Cathy Rodabaugh for the support and friendship that made graduate school one of the most enjoyable and memorable experiences of my life. Finally, I would like to thank my husband, Mark. It is difficult to marry someone who is in the middle of the dissertation process, but your love, support and encouragement never wavered.

The Dutch trading power served as a persistent threat to the English, who certainly did not want their rival prospering in the New World. The colony, which consisted of a conglomeration of settlers who “communicated in 18 languages,” did not have the social cohesion or military support to defend itself against a British assumption of power.1 In a bloodless confrontation, the New Netherlands became New York and in 1674, the Treaty of Westminster ended the Third Dutch War, placing the New Netherlands permanently under British control. If the British had expected the newly conquered Dutch to transition rapidly to English customs, however, they were to be sorely disappointed. The clannishness of Dutch communities and their powerful trade networks suppressed the assumption of English ways in parts of New York for generations. The exception to this rule was the prompt reduction of legal freedoms for Dutch women under English law. Dutch women, once known for their management skills and business savvy, quickly became femme coverts.

Goldsmith 2018 Abstract This dissertation shows how an array of policymakers, invested in uprooting an unequal political economy descended from the plantation system and Jim Crow, gravitated to education as a centerpiece of development strategy, and why so many are still disappointed in its outcomes. By looking at state-wide policymaking in North Carolina and policy effects in the state’s black belt counties, this study shows why the civil rights movement was vital for shifting state policy in former Jim Crow states towards greater investment in human resources. By breaking down employment barriers to African Americans and opening up the South to new people and ideas, the civil rights movement fostered a new climate for economic policymaking, and a new ecosystem of organizations flourished to promote equitable growth.

  • 2016 Proposed Budget
    City of Albany 2016 Proposed Budget Kathy M. Sheehan, Mayor Ismat Alam, Budget Director CITY OF ALBANY OFFICE OF THE MAYOR 24 EAGLE STREET ALBANY, NEW YORK 12207 TELEPHONE (518) 434-5100 WWW.ALBANYNY.ORG KATHY SHEEHAN MAYOR Dear Common Council Members and Residents of the City of Albany: We are at a crossroads in our City where the future for private sector growth, new housing and public investment has never been brighter, but the fiscal sustainability of the very services that support this growth has never been at graver risk. Starting in 2007, consecutive City budgets included the use of Fund Balance (our “rainy day” fund) to balance the budget. This draining of our reserves occurred even with nearly $8 million in annual “spin up” revenue from the State. The most significant depletion of Fund Balance occurred in the prior administration’s 2014 budget, which did not include a “spin up” from the State. Primarily because of the resulting impact on the City’s reserves, the Office of the New York State Comptroller identified Albany as a City experiencing “Significant Fiscal Distress.” My administration’s first budget included significant cost savings measures and short-term relief from the State in the form of one-time revenue, but still required the use $2 million of Fund Balance to deliver a balanced budget. The State’s revenue relief resulted after the New York State Financial Restructuring Board (FRB) reviewed the City’s finances and recognized the gap between what it costs to provide city services and the revenue available to pay for those services.

  • 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.

  • 5 IMPLEMENTATION Implementation of the Hudson River Valley Greenway Trail Is an Ongoing Process
    5 IMPLEMENTATION Implementation of the Hudson River Valley Greenway Trail is an ongoing process. The existing hiking, biking and water trail routes can continue to be improved and promoted, while the multi-use path will require a significant level of new planning, design and capital investment. In the past 25 years, the Greenway has developed grass-roots and local government support for these efforts, providing an excellent foundation for the next generation of the trail system. The following actions are recommended for the ongoing success of the HRVG: 1. Continue promoting the Water Trail: this is the most direct connection to the river, and can be marketed without significant capital improvements to promote the whole Greenway. 2. Upgrade the existing Hiking Trails: The continuous hiking trail can be achieved with alignments closer to the river - and many of these key connections are already in progress. With the new TZ bridge path and the Walkway over the Hudson, a loop hiking trail can connect both sides of the river in the lower half of the valley. 3. Improve the on-road Bike Routes: the currently signed NYS Bike Route 9 is a challenging route and is limited to experienced cyclists. Improving signage, paved shoulders, bike lanes, bike parking and Amtrak access will all support increased use along the route. Both the PTNY and West Side routes are not currently designated, but they can be improved to create on-road routes on both sides of the river. 4. Develop the continuous Hudson River Valley Greenway Trail trunk line: the efforts of the past decades have led to significant new potential to create a continuous multi-use path the length of the Hudson River Valley from Manhattan to the Adirondacks.
