The Gyldensleve-Gildersleeve Family is one of the oldest English families on record - almost seven hundred years from Roger Gyldensleve, in 1273 land-holder in Norfolk, whose name was derived from "sleeves braided with gold." Richard Gildersleeve, Puritan, born in 1601 in Suffolk, England, came to New England in 1635, and was a pioneer in the settlements of Connecticut, Dutch New York and Long Island, as was his son, Richard 2d. The grandson, Richard 3d of Northport, founded the older line of Gildersleeve families that has spread all over America, while his brother Thomas was founder of the more numerous younger line and very prominent in St. George's Church of Hempstead.

Mrs. Gildersleeve (whose first name is not given in the sources--see her husband's profile) served as a witness at the final treaty between the town of Hempstead, Long Island, NY, and the Marsapeage Indians. She was 76 at the time.

In 1674, New York was restored to the English. Richard Gildersleeve was deputy to New York to the Dutch Council. He also held very many offices of trust and honor in the town besides figuring in many of the exchanges of vast tracts of land. His main occupation lasting through life was that of surveyor. He was a Puritan of Puritans, fiery, and intolerant, strict and harsh in his official duties, but then the times were harsh enough to try the most heroic soul amidst the early settlements. He represented the town in all its dealings with the Indians, especially with Tackapousha, Sachem of the Marsapeage Indians. His wife was born in 1601 and witnessed in 1676 the final Indian exchange. He had three children, Richard, Samuel and Anna, the wife of John Smith, Nant., who came from Nantucket. Ref. Gildersleeves of Gildersleeve, Conn. and descendants of Philip Gildersleeve" [1]
