Hampton Manor in the Beginning to the Present the Diamond of East Greenbush Hampton Manor In the Beginning to the Present The Diamond Of East Greenbush Photo by Victoria Manieri Presented by Bobbie Reno, East Greenbush Town Historian Including research by the late Jesse Cunningham What’s in a name? Do you know how Hampton Manor got it’s name? Harold Veeder was having dinner at the Hotel Hampton in Albany, NY On a map dated the Fall of 1788 and Spring of 1789 of Groene Bosch (Dutch for Green Bush) drawn by John E. Van Alen for Stephen Van Rensselaer, the area now comprising Hampton Lake is shown. This area was bounded on the west, north and east by the farm of Christopher Yates and on the south by the farm of a man named Van Schaick. The map designates the area where the lake is now, showing a brook running through it that became called the “Vers Water Vly”. The word Vly is the Dutch name for a low swampy ground. “vers (pronounced veesch) water” means “fresh water”. In 1812 , the United States purchased the Yates farm from Stephen Van Rensselaer to construct the Greenbush Cantonment. The Vers Water Vly area (where the lake is) was not part of this purchase but the Vly was mostly likely used by the Cantonment as a source of water. This pond served the Cantonment. In later years it was called Kirtland Pond between New Jersey and New York Avenues. Circa 1964, it was filled in by the Town and made a basketball court. In 1831, the Greenbush Cantonment was dismantled. The United States Government sold the land to Hawthorn McCulloch. Hawthorn remodeled one of the officer’s quarters for his residence. This building still stands as a private residence. Hawthorn named his farm “The U. S. Cantonment Farm”. In 1843 Hawthorn sold the southern half of his farm to his son, William A. McCulloch. William A. McCulloch then proceeded to build his own residence from the materials of the dismantled Cantonment buildings. It was completed in 1844 and was named “Hawthornden”. This residence still stands today and is known as the Manor House or the McCulloch Mansion. The McCulloch Mansion (aka The Manor House) built circa 1843/44 known then as Hawthornden The current owners are: Louis H. McCormack and Deborah Freinberg This map drawn by Jesse Cunningham in 1992 compiled of maps dating from 1843-1900 of the land of Hawthorn McCulloch. Hawthorn McCulloch retained the “North” farm and sold the “South” farm North Farm owned South Farm owned by William A McCulloch to his son, William A. by Hawthorn McCulloch. It was from McCulloch the descendants of William A McCulloch Harold Veeder purchase the land to develop Hampton Manor.

The building in the background center is the school That burned down in 1922 and was replaced by Clinton Heights School (now the East Greenbush Town Hall) On April 20, 1925 and recorded in the Book 427 of Deeds on May 7, 1925, Lottie L. McCulloch, Charlotte A. McCulloch, William A. McCulloch and Florence McCulloch sold to Harold Veeder of H. G. Veeder Realty Company of Schenectady; and later Albany, New York 187 acres of land to develop what is now Hampton Manor. Hampton Manor was never part of the lands of the Greenbush Cantonment of the War of 1812. Who was Harold G. Veeder? Harold Gerit Veeder was born on November 17, 1900 in Schenectady, NY. He was a Real Estate Developer who built homes in Hampton Manor and Birchwood Park in Schenectady. He died on August 25, 1970 at the age of 69. He is buried in the Veeder family plot in Vale Cemetery in Schenectady. Photo dated 1949 Harold Veeder offered frame houses (with or without cellars), with different exteriors but the same 2 to 3 bedroom floor plans to be ordered and delivered within 4 weeks for the prices of $7,000.00 to $8,900.00 Including landscaping. He built approximately 200 of the houses now in Hampton Manor. The settlement of Hampton Manor began with septic tank systems. Mr. Veeder had deep wells dug and water pumped to a storage tank on top of the hill on Hudson Avenue. In 1926, Hampton Lake was born. Mr. Veeder dammed up the Ver Water Vly creating Hampton Lake. Hampton Lake is the largest body of water in East Greenbush. The lake has a surface area of 14.5 acres with a shoreline of about eight tenths of a mile. The road around the lake is just under one mile. The lake is 1800 ft long and contains almost 23 million gallons of water with a mean depth of five feet and a maximum depth of about eleven feet. Map of Hampton Manor October 1, 1925 H.G. Veeder Realty, Co., Inc. Hampton Manor was divided into 3 sections Map of Hampton Manor West and North Section 1 is within the blue ovals The yellow area was marked “development of this area unplanned”. Veeder wanted a park and Bridge built here but the Great Depression ended those plans. Map of Hampton Manor East and South Section 2 is within the red oval Section 3 is within the green rectangle Two panoramic views of Hampton Lake taken in the nineteen thirties The top one by Charles Behren from the west side of the lake. The bottom one by Glen Cook from 3 Trees Hill with Prospect Heights and Clinton Heights in the background taken April 3, 1930. This aerial photo was Taken by Jay S. McLean in 1968 An ad from 1927 This covenant or agreement for the sale of property from H. G. Veeder Realty Co., Inc. to Citizens Hose Company dated May 28, 1930 contains the discrimination that was acceptable at this time, in that the purchaser of the property agreed not to convey the property to a colored person or alien. This Today all are welcome as discrimination was legal neighbors in Hampton Manor until 1948, although it continued to be legal in private deeds until the Civil Rights Act of 1968 (Fair Housing Act). In the mid 1920s the building of the houses started. From the notes on the back of this photo dated November 1925, this is the very first house, 237 Columbia Tpke., built in Hampton Manor. Construction started on it August 1925 and it was Finished October 1925. Today there are over 60 Sears-Roebuck Kit Houses In Hampton Manor. And one known Lustron Blue prints for a Sear-Roebuck kit House date 1938 As people moved into Hampton Manor, St. Mary’s Church and School were built in the 1920s. This photo was taken right after the first Mass on May 22, 1927 Hampton Manor Water Works Corporation Harold G Veeder formed his water works corporation and began to develop a water system throughout Hampton Manor. He designated lots Nos, 173 and 174 in section 3 for the construction of a reservoir to hold 200,00 gallons of water. On May 13, 1924, Veeder entered into an agreement with Wilhelmina Harriet Abeles and Augusta G. Key (two women with the maiden name Kirtland, like the pond. Augusta G. Key’s Great Uncle was Hawthorn McCulloch)and others the right to maintain and right of easements to the spring of water located on Lot no 6 of the map of the Cantonment Farm belonging to Hawthorn McCulloch, dated May 1843. Lot No. 6, The Spring Water Works On July 11, 1949, the Hampton Water Works became Hampton Manor – Hillview Water District no. 4 when Veeder sold the Hampton Water Works Corporation to the Town of East Greenbush for $65,000.00. These photos were taken in 1949 the year the Town purchased the water works. Harold Veeder is marked by the red arrow. The other men are unidentified. The End of an Era The Hampton Manor water system had deteriorated to the point water quality was bad for the majority of Hampton Manor residents. On September 5, 2018, the end came for the Hampton Manor Water District and the valve was turned off. Hampton Manor joined the General Water District of the Town of East Greenbush. In the photo: Tom Kennedy, Water Department Foreman and East Greenbush Town Supervisor John “Jack” Conway turn off Hampton Manor Water. By 1956, Harold Veeder had liquidated all his Hampton Manor holdings except the lake. He sold Hampton Water Works (Pure Spring Water Available to Every Lot) to the Town of East Greenbush; but retained the exclusive right to determine whether Hampton Lake would continue or be abandoned and the right to remove or lower the dam. With these two provisions, Veeder sold Hampton Lake to the Town on February 1, 1957 for $13,500.00 Tragedies • The beauty of Hampton Manor and Hampton Lake has been marred in the past by tragedies. • In June of 1931, a 24-year-old Hampton Avenue woman fell from the diving tower on a float near the spillway. She died soon after at Albany’s old Memorial Hospital. She left two sons, the youngest of which was 3 months old.

Porter, the U.S. Congressman, first elected in 1808 to represent western New York, were leading advocates of a war of conquest against the British over Canada. Tompkins was particularly interested in recruiting and training a state militia and opening and equipping state arsenals in preparation for such a war. Normally, militiamen were obligated only for three months of duty during the War of 1812, although if the President requested, the period could be extended to a maximum of six months. When the militia was called into service by the governor or his officers, it was paid by the state. When called by the President or an officer of the U.S. Army, it was paid by the U.S. Treasury. In 1808, the United States Congress took the first steps toward federalizing state militias by appropriating $200,000 – a hopelessly inadequate sum – to arm and train citizen soldiers needed to supplement the nation’s tiny standing army.

  • Daniel D. Tompkins, War Governor
    Daniel D. Tompkins, War Governor Richard V. Barbuto {Editor’s note: This paper was presented at the 6th Annual International War of 1812 Symposium at Oswego New York on 2 April 2016} New York and the contiguous British provinces of Upper and Lower Canada were the center of fighting for the duration of the war. From the Niagara River across Lakes Ontario and Champlain and down the Saint Lawrence River toward Montreal, soldiers, sailors, and native warriors contended fiercely while civilians suffered grievously. While the U.S. Constitution assigned the defense of the nation and the function of declaring and waging war to the federal government, it was widely understood that the conduct of war was a shared enterprise between the federal and state governments. While the governors of the New England states avoided participation in the conflict, Governor Daniel D. Tompkins of New York worked closely with the Madison Administration to prosecute the war. General studies of the war focus largely on the conduct of the federal government. However, the role of New York, both as a staging area for the invasions of the Canadas and as a source of material and human resources, has been treated lightly. Historians have cited Tompkins as an ardent supporter of the war, but his specific contributions receive minimal attention. This is somewhat odd, since in his role as commander-in-chief of the state militia, he had a potential land force larger than the regular army. This essay is a preliminary examination of his efforts over five years to prepare New York for war with the British Empire and his work resourcing the conflict once Congress declared war.

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.

The economic importance of the Nation's rivers and lakes was early realized by many prominent Americans, including George Washington. With the purchase of Louisiana, the United States acquired free and uninterrupted navigation of the Mississippi. The Louisiana Purchase, coupled with the introduction of steam navigationi, accelerated the settlement of the Mississippi Valley and the territory bordering upon the great rivers of the West, r.he Missouri, the Ohio, and the Illinois. A Resolution adopted on February 4, 1808, in the New York House of Assembly called for the appointment of a joint committee of the Senate and the Assembly of the State of New York to explore the possibilities of opening a communication between the tide waters of the Hudson River and Lake Erie.

They accepted the Republican Party image of the Federalists, represented by Stephen Van Rensselaer, as the party of aristocrats, elitists, Anglophiles and Tories. By 1801 the Federalist Party had lost control of the state Senate, Assembly, governor's office and the New York congressional delegation.
