  • Joseph and Resolved Waldron, sons of Resolved Waldron, of Amsterdam, were book printers. The family was English; the name, of repute in England from the time of the Conqueror, had spread through nearly all its southern tier of counties. But born and raised at Amsterdam, these brothers had acquired all the characteristics of Hollanders, having also married Dutch wives, the sisters Aeltie and Rebecca Hendricks, whose father, Hendrick Koch, was a respectable Amsterdam burgher. It is stated on pretty good authority that Resolved had made the voyage to Brazil, but of this we will not speak further here. Having the misfortune to lose his wife, he married again, on May 10th, 1654, a lady of thirty years, living near the West India House, Tanneke Nagel, daughter of Barent Nagel, deceased, of Groningen. Resolved was living at this time in the Teerketels-steeg, a short street just north of, the Dam; but the same year sailed with his family for America. His brother, Joseph Waldron, had preceded him to this country by two years, according to his son's reckoning. He also was accompanied by a second wife, Annetie Daniels, but twenty-five when he married her, at Amsterdam, April 4, 1649, she and Resolved's wife being of the same age. .... etc.

  • Jan Dyckman, — Deekman, as then pronounced, — the ancestor of the Dyckmans of Kingsbridge and vicinity, and ultimately one of the wealthiest of the patentees, came, as already stated, from Bentheim, in Westphalia,* probably in company with his early and life-long friends, Adolph Meyer and Arent Bussing,

  • jointly with whom he first became a landholder, March 13, 1666, by the purchase of Simon De Ruine's farm. .... Dyckman united with the church at New York, on February 26, 1673, together with Bussing and others, his young acquaintances, of both sexes, to one of whom, Madelaine, daughter of Daniel Tourneur, Dyckman was married during the next summer. Obtaining by her a farming lot upon Montanye's Flat, and two of the out-gardens on which to build and begin domestic life, Dyckman bought of Meyer, November 2, following, "a certain hook of marsh land," on the north end of lot 4, Van Keulen's Hook. We have taken notice, page 344, of his grant and purchase at Spuyten Duyvel in 1677, in connection with Jan Nagel. The latter died in 1689, and the next year, May 19, 1690, Dyckman, then living at Spuyten Duyvel, married his widow, Rebecca, who was a daughter of Resolved Waldron. By this means the union of the Dyckman and Nagel estates was maintained. They drew .... etc.

  • John Nagel has no descendants of the name at Harlem, though yet to be found in Rockland County and other localities.* The name is now oftener written Nagle or Naugle, the last expressing its original sound. Jan Nagel, born in Holland, 1645, having been "a soldier in the service of the honorable West India Company," up to the surrender to the English, in 1664, then quit the service and retired in disgust to Harlem, with avowed intention to leave the country. He saw fit to remain, but was slow in becoming reconciled to the English rule. His first essay as a freeholder and marriage, August 27, 1670, with Rebecca Waldron (see page 267) require no further notice. On the division, in 1677, of the lands bought jointly with John Delamater (see pages 272, 495), Nagel took lot No. 6, Jochem Pieters' Flat, with out-garden No. 13, and half the meadows. In 1679 he bought the adjoining garden, No. 14, with the dwelling-house on it (see page 353), which he may have occupied thereafter. On August 16, 1678, he bought a third lot on Jochem Pieters. (See Appendix E.) His acquisitions at Spuyten Duyvel have been noticed, pages 341, 343. In 1675 Nagel was chosen deacon, and he seems to have been a man of sterling principles. Owing probably to his known dislike of the English government, his nomination for office was several times rejected by the Mayor's Court, but at length he was confirmed as constable in 1677, and later served twice as commissioner. He died in 1689. The next year his widow became the wife of Jan Dyckman, then of Spuyten Duyvel, and there they were married. Their marriage contract, made at Harlem, May 12, 1690, says: "As it is found by the testament of Jan Nagel that his surviving children should receive the exact half of his estate, part of which is lying here at this dorp, and the other part at Spuyten Duyvel, but, as is thought, the part of the aforesaid estate lying at the dorp is the greater part ; yet Rebecca Waldron assigns to her children by Jan Nagel, deceased, all that is situated

  • .... The first of whom we have record is Baron Resolved Waldron, son of Count Johannas VonWaldron, who was born in 1610, in Amsterdam, Holland. He was well educated in Latin, French and English. He was an extensive traveler in Europe and South America, spent some time in Brazil and returning to his native land, Holland, in 1645, married Rebecca Hendryx in 1647. She died 165-. He afterward became acquainted with Lady Tanneka Neigle, daughter of Baron Von Neigle, and was married to her May 10, 1654. Resolved Waldron joined the staff of Governor Peter Stuyvesant in May, 1647, and continued to serve the Dutch government during Stuyvesant's administration until James, Duke of York, sent four ships of war during time of peace in 1664 and robbed the Dutch of all their possessions in America.
  • Resolved Waldron acted as ambassador to all the petty English courts in New England, Virginia and Baltimore. He with two others obtained the first grant from Stuyvesant for New Harlem in 1654, of that portion of Manhattan Island lying between 82d and 109th Streets, extending from North River to East River. He established the first ferry and erected the first Dutch church in that town. He also built himself a stone mansion on East River (called by the Dutch "Helengate," or "roaring water"). The Indian name was "Sevandican," or "mad water." The Indian name for the land or bowery was "Rachewanas," or "crooked land." This bowery or plantation was about a mile along the water. Here Waldron lived a number of years until his sons grew up and married and then, while chief magistrate, he removed to Kingsbridge.

  • The old Waldron stone mansion at Horn Hook (88th Street, north side, a little east of Avenue A) was erected in 1660 and was kept in good repair until 1870, when it was destroyed by fire — 210 years old.
  • Resolved Waldron departed this life about 1706, about ninety- six years of age, and was buried in "God's acre" beside the little church on the banks of the Harlem River.
