CLAES lvIARTENSZEN VAN ROSENVELrf arrived in New Netherland, now New York, in one of the most memorable years in the history of his time, for it was about 1649, when the Dutch government was seriously embarrassed. A contest had been waged between the people and the Sovereign of England, as it had long be£ ore been carried on in the Netherlands. Oppo­ sition had been succeeded by revolt and civil war. Charles the First was beheaded in front of his own banqueting hall, an<l England declared a republic. The shock which troubled Europe was felt in America. In that year Winthrop died. The Dutch and other traders were forbidden to trade with the New England savages. Arms were brought to New Amsterdam from Holland, the people fearing that war would break out with the savages. Public opinion was running strong against Stuyvesant. Food was scarce. The winter was so cold that "ink froze in the pen.'' About this time a Burgher government was demanded, and dele­ gates were sent to Holland. Katskill and CI31-verack were settled. Stuyvesant opposed the reformers. Fort Nassau was demolished. Esopus (N. Y.) and Newtown (L. I.) were settled. The Burgher government was conceded to Manhattan. War was declared be­ tween the English and the Dutch nations. The Dutch built forti­ fications across New Amsterdam. In 1652-1653 all business was at a standstill, and the people were under arms, not knowing when an attempt would be made against the Colony. The next year the Dutch found danger still greater, as Cromwell had dis­ patched a fleet to America, and as the fleet was leaving New England for New Amsterdan1 it was met by a vessel bringing news of peace between England and Holland. Later, in 1655, the Colony awoke one morning to find itself in possession of the Indians, but Stuyvesant established quiet by presents instead of by arms. Claes Martenszen van Rosenvel t was among the numerous Holland colonists who came over to New Amsterdam in 1649 or 1650, undoubtedly bringing with him his wife, Jannetje Samuel­ Thomas. In M unsill's American Ancestry, Vol. VI., p. 19, we 4 ROOSEVELT GENEALOGY. find the statement that he emigrated to New Amsterdam, with his wife, in August, 1649. No record of their marriage in New. Amsterdam has been found, but it is a matter of record in the "Court Minutes of New Amsterdam, August 6, 1655," that "Jan­ netie Hamel, ,vife of Nicholas Martensen, declares," etc. The baptismal records of their children in the Reformed Dutch church of New York City are signed by their parents as Claes Martenszen van Rosevelt-Jannetje Samuels-Jannetje Thomas, as shown by the records herein given, Styntie Claes Rosevelt was admitted member of the church November 28, 1678. Claes Rosevelt was admitted December 4, 1679, to the Reformed Dutch church of New York, where they and their descendants have attended for 250 years.

  • 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.

INDEX THE PEOPLE OF CAPE COD:JAMES DUNCAN GRAHAM CAPE COD: This light-house, known to mariners as the Cape Cod or PEOPLE OF Highland Light, is one of our “primary sea-coast lights,” and is CAPE COD usually the first seen by those approaching the entrance of Massachusetts Bay from Europe. It is forty-three miles from Cape Ann Light, and forty-one from Boston Light. It stands about twenty rods from the edge of the bank, which is here formed of clay. I borrowed the plane and square, level and dividers, of a carpenter who was shingling a barn near by, and using one of those shingles made of a mast, contrived a rude sort of quadrant, with pins for sights and pivots, and got the angle of elevation of the Bank opposite the light-house, and with a couple of cod-lines the length of its slope, and so measured its height on the shingle. It rises one hundred and ten feet above its immediate base, or about one hundred and twenty-three feet above mean low water. Graham, who has carefully surveyed the extremity of the Cape, GRAHAM makes it one hundred and thirty feet. The mixed sand and clay lay at an angle of forty degrees with the horizon, where I measured it, but the clay is generally much steeper. No cow nor hen ever gets down it.

SEYMOUR BASSETT Cornelius Peter Van Ness was a colorful and vigorous leader in a formative period of Vermont history, hut he has remained in the dusk of that history. In this paper Mr. Bassett has sought to recall __ mm and IUs activities and through him throw definite light on h4s ---------­ eventfultime.l.- -In--this--study Van--N-esr--ir-brought;-w--rlre-dt:a.mot~ months of his attempt in the senatorial election of I826 to succeed Horatio Seymour. 'Ulhen Mr. Bassett has completed his research into thot phase of the career of Van Ness, we hope to present the re­ sults in another paper. Further comment will he found in the Post­ script. Editor. NDIVIDUALISM is the boasted virtue of Vermonters. If they I are right in their boast, biographies of typical Vermonters should re­ veal what individualism has produced. Governor Van Ness was a typical Vermonter of the late nineteenth century, but out of harmony with the Vermont spirit of his day. This essay sketches his meteoric career in administrative, legislative and judicial office, and his control of Vermont federal and state patronage for a decade up to the turning point of his career, the senatorial campaign of 1826.1 His family had come to N ew York in the seventeenth century. 2 His father was by trade a wheelwright, strong-willed, with little book-learning. A Revolutionary colonel and a county judge, his purchase of Lindenwald, an estate at Kinderhook, twenty miles down the Hudson from Albany, marked his social and pecuniary success.s Cornelius was born at Lindenwald on January 26, 1782.

BULLOCH PRESIDENT OF THE NATIONAL GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY CHANCELLOR AND HISTORIAN OF ORDER OF WASHINGTON EX-CHANCELLOR OF ARYAN ORDER CHIEF REGENT OF IMPERIAL ORuER 01' YELLOW ROSE MEMBER OF SONS OF REVOLUTION OF GEORGIA EX-PRESIDENT OF SONS OF REVOLUTION OF FLORIDA .Author of The Bulloch Family and Copncctions; The Family of Bellinger and Deveaux and other Southern Families; The Stewart, Elliott and Dunwody Families; Baillie of Dunain; The Habersham and other Southern Families; Biographical .Sketch of Hon. Archibald Bulloch and other Articles; f.lf vcral Stories and M cdical and Sanitary A rticlcs. PREFACE. The study of genealogy and the compilation of articles on family history can be made very interesting if the genealogist looks upon himself not only as such but as an historian and scientist, for I maintain that the study of genealogy is not the mere tabulating of a lot of names, but embraces the study of history, eugenics-eugenics which of course takes into consideration not only heredity, peculiarities, and disease in­ cident thereto, but also enables one to compile a true history of events. Therefore the college and university should have a chair devoted to this study. We all know that one who merely takes a birdseye view of a battle can only see the general trend of the conflict, but that he who visits all parts of the field can study the salient features of the conflict and the parts taken by the individual and can deduce therefrom the reason why the enemy has been successful or has met defeat.
