Resolved Waldron

• Resolved Waldron
• Birth: May 10, 1610 Amsterdam, Noord-Holland, Netherlands
• Death: May 17, 1690 New York, USA
• Married Rebecca Hendricks on 20 Aug 1645 in Diemen, suburb of Amsterdam. She died in 1653.
• Married Tanneke Nagel on 10 May 1654.
• He and Tanneke Nagel are my 9th great-grandparents through their son Barent Waldron.
• In 1686, Resolved was a patantee of Haarlem, New York.
• Inventory for his estate said he died on or before 17 May 1690.
• I'm told he's buried in the Dutch cemetery in Harlem (which was 125th St) in Manhattan. The site of Church and graveyard is currently a bus depot and before that there were tenements on the site.
• NOTE: All the interments for the Dutch Reformed Church Cemetery of Harlem, New York were moved to Woodlawn Cemetery, 501 East 233rd Street, Bronx County, Bronx, NY. The move was done in 1875. Please see the New York Historical Society for more information.
• Disinterments from the Vaults and Churchyard of the Dutch Reformed Church of Harlem, 1869-1875
• Prompted by New York City's northward growth, the Consistory of the Dutch Reformed Church of Harlem purchased a plot in Woodlawn Cemetery in 1869. The remains interred in its old cemetery in First Avenue between 124th and 125th Streets, and also those in the churchyard on Third Avenue and 121st Street, were removed to the plot in Woodlawn; the transfer was completed in 1875. A manuscript file containing documentation relevant to this process has been digitized and made available in the elibrary of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Record.

• 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.

• Resolved Waldron, born May 10, 1610, the most noted, as he was one of the most intelligent, of the Harlem settlers, needed not the titular dignity of baron, which some of poetic humor claim for him; yet might he well have graced the title. As we have seen, he had been in the printing business at Amsterdam, and

• emigrated with his family to Nw Netherland late in 1654. Received with his brother, Joseph, and their wives, to the fellowship of the church at New Amsterdam, the first care was to secure a home, ....
• Joseph Waldron, "living near the hoeck of Passenger Street," in Amsterdam, and on the eve of his second marriage, appeared before the orphan master, May 12, 1649, according to custom, and gave bonds for the maintenance of his two children by his late wife, Aeltie Hendricks; as "the children by the former marriage had no property." One of these perhaps was left at Amsterdam with its grandmother, Maria Goverts, since it is not named in our records here, and Waldron was wont to order part of his salary to be paid his said mother. The last time noticed was on August 30, 1661, being two months' wages, 48 florins. He was butler to the garrison, and had charge of the magazine of the company. Waldron died in 1663. Just before his end, sending for a notary to draw up his will, he said "there would be nothing left, of his widow, who intended to leave for the Fatherland." Upon these representations and it appearing that there were "six minor children, two of whom are of a former marriage." the orphan's court of New Amsterdame, December 10, 1663, at the desire of the widow Annetie Daniels, appointed Resolved Waldron, "her husband's brother," and Hendrick Jensen Vander Vin, "who is her oldest and most intimate friend," as gardians of her surviving children. It is uncertain whether she visited Holland, as she was married here, in 1668 to Harman Smeeman, and again, in 1682, to Coenraet Ten Eyck. Joseph Waldron's children known to us were Sarah, Daniel, Mary, Anna, Deborah and John. Deborah died in infancy, and John, when not quite 8 years old was accidentally killed in his step-father's mill, January 23, 1669. Sarah, born about 1646, at Amsterdam, married, in 1662, Jan Gerritsen Van Voorst, and in 1666 Laurens Jansen Colevelt, by whom she had children whose descendants are yet found. Mary, born 1652, married Hendrick Gerritsen Blauvelt (see page 363), and Anna, born 1657, married John Delamontagne. To her son Daniel and son-in-law Delamontagne, Annetie Daniels, then for the third time a widow, conveyed some city property, May 10, 1688. She was afterward allowed pay by government "for tending sick soldiers." Daniel Waldron, born 1650, at Amsterdam, married, in 1673, Sarah Rutgers, daughter of Rutger Willemsen. ....

. Resolved Waldron was born in Amsterdam, Holland, May 10, 1610, and became a book printer. The family were English and the name was known in England as early as the time of William the Conqueror.

Resolved and his brother Joseph, being born and raised in Holland, acquired the characteristics of Hollanders and had married sisters of Dutch citizens.

Resolved Waldron married first, Rebecca Hendricks, daughter of Hendrick Koch, a respectable Amsterdam burgher. He married second, May 10, 1654, Tanneke, born 1624, daughter of Barent Nagel, deceased, of Groningen. At that time he was living in the Teerketelsateeg, a short street just north of the Dam, but in the same year sailed with his family for America, where his brother had preceded him by two years.

They were received into fellowship of the Dutch church in New Amsterdam and in April, 1655, he and his brother purchased a house on Broadway, near Wall Street. Both entered public service and Resolved was made "Overseer of the Workmen." On April 17, 1657, he applied for a burgher right, which was granted him on May 3, Being found efficient, the Director and Council, on May 25, 1658, appointed him Deputy to the Schoutfiscael, and on October 28 he was recognized as Deputy Sheriff. In 1660 he was made Sheriff of the Dutch Towns on Long Island, but Director General Stuyvesant wished that he be retained in New Amsterdam, and he served as the Governor's favorite officer while his rule lasted.

On the occupation by the English, he retired to private life in Harlem, but was soon called upon to serve the Government, and on June 15, 1665, was elected Constable of New Harlem, a position of importance in those early days. He was one of the five patentees named in the Nicoll's Patent, and was also an Elder in the Dutch church. He died in 1690, his inventory being taken on May 17 of that year.

Resolved was living at this time in the Teerketelssteeg, a short street just north of the Dam; but the same year sailed with his family for America."); pp. 691-709 ("On the accession of the English, Waldron took the oath of allegiance (October, 1664), but retired to private life at Harlem with the disappointment of one whose interests, as well as sympathies, all lay with the former government. It was still a pleasure to correspond with kindred in Holland. Mortien Govert, of Amsterdam, writing to Resolved, April 12, 1666, says, 'Brother: Tall Anna has gone over with the supercargo who lived in Nicholas Carmen's house.' Waldron had secured some property at Harlem, and was soon called to public office, from which he seldom had a respite for the rest of his life. He was one of the five patentees named in Nicholls' patent, and also served in the eldership.

He died in 1690; his inventory taken that year, May 17, embraced lands, slaves, farmstock, etc.

Resolved’s second marriage was to Tanneke Nagels in the New Church in Amsterdam, May 10, 1654. At the time Tanneke was 30 years old and from Groningen, Holland. Her parents were deceased by then.

As mentioned above, the brothers Joseph and Resolved Waldron immigrated to New Amsterdam during the last half of 1654 or possibly early in 1655. On April 3, 1655 they bought a house on Broadway near Wall Street. On May 3, 1657, Resolved Waldron was made a burgher of New Amsterdam, and on May 25, 1658 he was made provost and deputy sheriff.

He continued as deputy sheriff until 1664. At the time of the British conquest of New Amsterdam in 1664, he signed an oath of allegiance to the British. Later he moved to the village of Harlem, in upper Manhattan, where he held several public offices. He was a magistrate there in 1673 at the time of the Dutch reconquest at which time he signed the oath of allegiance to the Dutch. He was a patentee of Harlem in 1686.

He died in 1690. An inventory of his estate being taken on May 17, 1690. Tanneke Nagels survived, and died after November 25, 1690.

The Children of Resolved and his wife Tanneke (NAGLES) WALDRON, were:

4. Ruth, baptized on May 10, 1657. She married 1st John Delamater on August 11, 1678. They had nine children. 2nd she married Hendrick Bogert on September 15, 1703.

On September 9, 1662, a resolution was adopted by the Council which stated, "By these presents are all Magistrates & Inhabitants of the English Townes in the Jurisdiction of New Netherlands, Ordered and Required to assist our Schout (sheriff) Resolved Waldron for to imprison all such persons which shall be found in a prohibited or unlawful meeting. Given under our hand this 9th of September Annon 1662." This resolution was directed toward [Quaker freethinker] John Bowne, even though he was not mentioned in it by name.

Two days later, on September 11, Schout Resolved Waldron went to John Bowne's house in Flushing, with a company of men with swords and guns. John was busy tending his sick wife, Hannah, and their young child, Marie. Sheriff Waldron told John he must go with him to see the Governor. He would not show John any written order. Being too late to go that date, Waldron left his men there, while he went to drinking in town. Then he came back again in the night, and brought with him the town constable, probably, John Mastine. Finally, John got to see the written order, and since he was not named in the order, he refused "to go one foot with him by virtue of that order". Waldron said he would bind his hands and feet and carry him. The next day the sheriff took him in a boat to Manhattan, and put him in jail across the street from the Governor's house.

'Respecting the person Resolved Waldron, we may be permitted to remark that when appointed as a deputy to the fiscael, and as scout-by-nacht, in this city, he conducted himself with so much fidelity and vigilance that he gave to us and the magistrates great satisfaction so that his services both as respects the Company and the fiscael, can hardly be dispensed with, besides that he would not be so well fitted for the schrievalty of the said villages, as he cannot well wield his pen; wherefore till your further orders on this point, we shall ask his continuance in that office.'

Late in 1654, two brothers, Joseph and Resolved Waldron, emigrated with their families from the Netherlands to New Amsterdam, New York. The older of their children were believed to be born in Amsterdam.

Resolved Waldron was first married in Amsterdam in 1645. His marriage record indicates his birth in Amsterdam was around 1620. His actual birth date is the subject of dispute by genealogists. Amsterdam records also indicate that Resolved's parents were William and Ruth Walker. (William born around September 20, 1589.)

It is generally accepted that Resolved's parents came to Amsterdam from the parish of Goodworth, Clatford in England, and that William Waldron's parents were John and Joan Waldron of Wherewell, Hampshire, England.

Ruth (Walker) Waldron, Resolved's mother, was purported to be born about 1595 in Marked Overton, Rutland, England, the daughter of Edward Walker. Ruth married William Waldron in Amsterdam August 19, 1615. It is believed that William and Ruth Waldron died prior to 1639. Their children were: 1. Joseph, b. around 1617, married (1) Aeltze Hendricks, (2) Annetze Daniels; 2. Resolved, b. around 1620, married (1) Rebecca Hendricks, (2) Tanneke Nagels.

Resolved's first marriage to Rebecca Hendricks took place in Diemen, a suburb of Amsterdam on August 20, 1645. She was baptized in Amsterdam on November 5, 1627. At the time of his marriage, Resolved's occupation was given as a book printer apprentice. Rebecca died between January 2, 1652 and April 23, 1654.

Resolved's second marriage was to Tanneke Nagels in the New Church in Amsterdam May 10, 1654. At the time, Tanneke was 30 years old and from Groningen, Holland. Her parents were deceased by then.

As mentioned above, the brothers Joseph and Resolved Waldron immigrated to New Amsterdam during the last half of 1654 or possibly early in 1655. On April 3, 1655 they bought a house on Broadway, near Wall Street. On May 3, 1657, Resolved Waldron was made a Burgher of New Amsterdam, and on May 25, 1658, he was made Provost and Deputy Sheriff.

He continued as Deputy Sheriff until 1664. At the time of the British conquest of New Amsterdam in 1664, he signed an oath of allegiance to the British. Later, he moved to the village of Harlem, in upper Manhattan, where he held several public offices. He was a magistrate there in 1673, at the time of the Dutch reconquest, at which time he signed the oath of allegiance to the Dutch. He was a patentee of Harlem in 1686.

He died in 1690. An inventory of his estate being taken on May 17, 1690. Tanneke Nagels survived, dying after November 25, 1690.

Original Land Conveyance in Harlem

Source: www.carnegiehillneighbors.org

“What today is Carnegie Hill in Manhattan and its surrounding area became part of a large tract of farmland. The farm extended from what is now about 82nd Street to about 94th Street, and from Harlem Commons (Fifth Avenue) to the East River. The area was known as Waldron Farm after a Dutch patent conveyed the land to Baron Resolved Waldron. His son Samuel and, in turn, his grandson William became owners of the farm. The farm underwent no material change for more than 50 years until it was divided by William Waldron’s heirs after his death in December 1769. One of Waldron’s sons, Adolph Waldron, gained the bulk of the property and then, apparently, lost it all as well. Abraham Duryea, a merchant of the City of New York, bought the farm at auction for eight hundred pounds. The borders of the farm were described for the transaction in detail, following the style of the time, as: ...all that piece or parcel of land situated lying and being in Harlem division of the outward of the City of New York aforesaid on which William Waldron deceased lately lived beginning at a cleft in a large rock at the waterside, hence running south . . . to a stone marked W thence south . . . to the stump of a large chestnut tree . . . etc. etc. along the waterside to the beginning bounded northerly and westerly by the land late of the said William Waldron deceased and easterly by the sound at Hell Gate Cove or Horn’s Hook containing thirty four acres . . ."

In May 1647, Resolved jointed the staff of Governor Peter Stuyvesant. He was an efficient officer to whom Governor Stuyvesant became much attached. In 1654, Resolved obtained from the Dutch Government, of which he was a magistrate, a patent for a tract of land of that portion of Manhattan Island lying between 82nd and 109th streets, extending from North River to East River. He established the first ferry and erected the first Dutch church in that town. Resolved Waldron became a burgher on 17 April 1657, and was made a deputy sheriff the following year. In 1659, he was sent with Heermans to Maryland to vindicate the Dutch title on the Delaware. In 1658, the town of New Harlem had been established on the northern part of Manhattan Island. In 1664, James, Duke of York, sent four ships of war and robbed the Dutch of all their possessions in America. The English took over New Netherlands and renamed it New York. Resolved retired to private life. He was called back to public life and was appointed constable of New Harlem. The old Waldron stone mansion at Horn Hook, 88th Street, north side and little east of Avenue A, was erected in 1660 and was in good repair when it was destroyed by fire, 210 years old.
