INTRODUCTION. 



THERE has, for some years, been a growing interest in genealogical research, 
and the literature on the subject is already very extensive, although it 
is, for the most part, shut up in the archives of historical libraries, and the 
public are ignorant of its existence. 

The perusal of elaborate and intricate tracings of genealogical branches is 
not a popular study, for it is impossible to create a very widespread interest in 
names the record and recollection of which have passed away in the current of 
time ; but it is not so with the direct pedigrees of those whose living personality 
is part of our social or national life. 

"Who is he?" is almost the first question put regarding an individual who 
happens to come into prominence or notoriety, and the absence of trustworthy 
information on the subject of ancestry often gives rise to very serious misappre- 
hension. However indifferent some may affect to be regarding this question of 
ancestry, universal experience of human nature ser/es to prove that those who 
really have a pedigree will usually boast of it, whilst only those who lack one, 
and cannot perhaps even trace to their grandfather, will condemn such as friv- 
olous and foolish. Some of America's greatest citizens have not hesitated to 
declare their pride of birth and pedigree. President Garfield delighted to 
dwell on the traits of his ancestors and was justly proud of his long lineage ; 
Samuel J. Tilden found leisure amidst the strife of politics to devote to such 
investigations; and Daniel Webster often declared that the study of ancestry 
was an incumbent duty, and that we should look upon the present generation 
as connecting links between the eventful past and the unknown future. The 
preservation of pedigrees is therefore not the mere pastime of the idle or curious. 
It is the honorable employment of the student and of the historian. // has 
always formed the basis of all true history. 

In the ancient records of Assyria, Egypt, and Arabia, the pedigree of an 
individual was usually the thread upon which was strung the stirring events of

iv INTRODUCTION. 

centuries, and so important a place did the preservation of a lineage occupy 
amongst the Jewish people that it was established as a positive obligation upon 
every Levite of the temple. 

Nor was this genealogical form of history peculiar to Semetic races. The 
earliest Greek records were also those of pedigrees. The histories of Acusilaus 
of Argos, and of Hecataeus of Miletus were entitled ysveatkoyiai (genealogies), 
and the fragmentary histories of Xanthus, Charon of Lampsacus, and Hellanicus 
are strongly marked with the genealogical element, a form of history which is 
clearly sustained in the Greek Testament by the writers of the gospel narrative, 
who base the whole structure of Christianity upon the established pedigree of 
its founder. 

Josephus regarded genealogical study as of the utmost importance, and in 
giving an account of his personal history, boasts " I have traced my pedigree as 
I have found it recorded in the public tablets." And it is in harmony with such 
feelings that the present work on American Ancestry has been undertaken. 

The names of only those who can trace their lineage to an ancestor who 
was settled in America previous to the DECLARATION OF AMERICAN 
INDEPENDENCE are admitted, and when it is remembered that there was 
only a population of less than two millions and a quarter in the whole of the 
United States in the year 1776 (exclusive of slaves and Indians), it will be seen 
that but a small proportion of the present population can claim the honor of 
being descended from the original American stock ; and consequently in ages 
to come, the arrival of the Virginian colonists, the emigration of the Puritan and 
Dutch settlers, as well as the settlement of the Quaker and Huguenot refugees 
will form as memorable epochs in the history of the Great Republic as the 
Saxon and Norman conquests of Great Britain now do in the history of that 
country. A few centuries hence Americans will experience as much pleasure 
in tracing back their ancestry to those periods as the English now do to the 
days of Williamthe Conqueror. 

These volumes of American Ancestry will supply a most convenient 
method of preserving such pedigrees. And although its pages will contain, 
for the most part, but simple records of uneventful generations, they will pre- 
serve facts which would otherwise be lost in the history of the people. 

The number of lineages in the present volume, embracing Albany City, is 
comparatively small. But a very large majority of the residents of Albany, who 
have every reason to believe that they are descended from an old American 
stock, cannot trace as far back as 1776, whilst not a few of those who bear the

INTRODUCTION. v 

well-known names of early Dutch and English settlers have an awkward and 
inconvenient hiatus in their pedigrees, to which history cannot supply the 
necessary link. 

In a few instances the lineages of prominent Albanians have been with- 
drawn, because the design of our work precludes the publication of auto-bio- 
graphical sketches (not always of the most modest and unassuming character) 
of living persons. As our work is exclusively one on Ancestry, we have found 
it wiser and safer to omit all references to the living beyond the names and 
marriage. 

Each lineage is intended to be an impartial record, and we have been care- 
ful to expunge all such adjectives as " great," " prominent " and " pious " from 
the pedigrees. The historic record of public offices held, works written, and 
other 'remarks pretty clearly define the position of each line of ancestry with- 
out any laudatory statements. 

We have been anxious to obtain all the information possible regarding the 
history of a family prior to emigration, and when a distinct pedigree is given to 
a noble or distinguished ancestry, we have been careful to insert it, but in those 
cases where the line is at present only probable we have given a qualified state- 
ment to that effect, for as the ipsissima verba of the manuscript sent to the edi- 
tor have in no case been inserted, he practically makes himself responsible for 
the lineages. 

Undoubtedly some of the very best blood of the old world flowed in the 
veins of the early American colonists, and the more carefully their genealogy 
is investigated, the more deeply interesting will be the facts elucidated, and we 
cannot but hope that the publication of successive volumes of American 
Ancestry will both stimulate inquiry as to the early history of American fami- 
lies and also revive that most ancient method of forming history — the careful 
and painstaking study of genealogy and pedigree.

lyne of Hertfordshire) ; son of Baptist, b.

(see Foster's Edition, 1881, p. 311) the line-

FRANS JANSEN PRUYN or 

PRUEN (as the name is written presumably 
by himself) (the ancestor of 501, 502, 503, 
504, 505), who was the son of John Pruyn 
of Holland, is found settled in Albany with 
his wife, Aeltje or Alida, as early as 1665. 
Being a Roman Catholic he refused to take 
the oath of allegiance to King William, the 
Protestant king of England, but expressed 
himself willing to swear fidelity. His son 
John, however, subscribed to the oath. 
His widow, Aeltje, joined the Dutch Re- 
formed Church in 1683. (See Pruyn Gen, by 
John V. L. Pruyn, Jr., 1886.) This family 
has been resident and has held positions of

-JOHN RATHBONE (ancestor 



of 511, 512), came from England and set- 
tled in Block Island, Aug. 17, 1660. Rep. 
in legislature of Rhode Island, 1682, 1683, 
1684; his wife's name was Margaret. The 
early history of the Rathbone family has not 
been traced, it is probable that they are de- 
scended either from Thomas Rathbone, who 
came from England in 1621, or from John 
Rathbone, of Liverpool, who came from 
that town in 1625. There was a Colonel 
John Rathbone, of the Parliamentary army 
of 1658; with whom the first ancestor of the 
American family may have been related.

ard, came from Norwich, Norfolk, England, 
and landed probably at Lynn, Mass., and 
then came to Long Island, and settled at 
Flushing; his brother John being one of 
the original settlers of that place, to whom 
the patent was granted by Gov. Kieft, in 
1645. On account of political and relig- 
ious difficulties with the Dutch governor, 
Peter Stuyvesant, the Townsend brothers 
removed to Warwick, Rhode Island, where 
they were all three members of the provin- 
cial assembly, and held, besides, munici- 
pal offices. In 1656 they once more at- 
tempted to settle in Long Island, and in 
that year obtained, with others, the patent 
of Rustdorp (now Jamaica). In 1657 Henry 
Townsend was arrested, imprisoned and 
fined "one hundred pounds Flanders" for 
harboring Quakers in his house. In the 
following year, 1658, he moved with his 
brothers to Oyster Bay, which was out of 
the jurisdiction of the Dutch hierarchy at 
New Amsterdam, where he spent the re- 
mainder of his life, and died at Oyster Bay, 
in 1695. This family is probably connected 
with the distinguished family of the Town- 
sends of Raynham, Norfolk, England, and 
of Sir Roger Townsend of Ludlow Salop, 
but the link is not established. See Town-

INTRODUCTION. 



Columbia county, in the State of New York, lies on the east bank of the 
Hudson river, between Dutchess county on the south and Rensselaer county 
on the north, and extends to the boundary line of the State of Massachusetts. 
It is about thirty-six miles in length and about twenty miles in breadth, with 
an area of 688 square miles, and a population of 47,928. Its capital city is 
Hudson, and its minor divisions or townships are Ancram, Austerlitz, Canaan, 
Chatham, Claverack,* Clermont, Copake, Gallatin, Germantown, Ghent, Green- 
port, Hillsdale, Kinderhook,f Livingston, New Lebanon, Stockport, Stuyve- 
santj and Taghkanick.g 

The earliest mention of this tract of country is found in a monograph by 
Henry Hudson, the discoverer, when on the evening of September 17, 1609, 
he anchored opposite the spot now occupied by the county seat which bears 
his name. In ancient days it was sparsely inhabited by Indian tribes resid- 
ing on the bank of the Hudson and in the Taghkanick hills. 

The first European settlers of the county seem to arrange themselves in 
four groups : the Dutch settlers from Albany, the tenants of the Livingston 
Manor, the settlement of German palatinates, and the gradual immigration 
of New England families. 

Under the Dutch government, and the directors of its West India Com- 
pany, a large number of Holland families settled in what are now known 
as the townships of Kinderhook, Ghent, Stuyvesant, Stockport and Claver- 
ack, the latter being the seat of the Van Rensselaers, as patroons of the 
lower manor, which comprised not less than 170,000 acres of land. The

vi INTRODUCTION. 

earliest records are those of the Dutch Reformed Church, which establish 
the fact that very many well-known county names were among its earliest 
settlers, and are still represented by numerous descendants. The Van Rensse- 
laers, for example, in two direct lines from the founder of that historic 
family in America. 

The Livingston Manor originally contained upwards of 160,000 acres, and 
included a large portion of the present townships of Livingston, Clermont, 
Copake, Ancram, Gallatin, German town and Taghkanick, being granted by a 
patent issued by Governor Dongan to Robert Livingston in 1685, and con- 
firmed by royal charter in 1715. Descendants of this distinguished family 
still reside within the limits of the county, although the old manor house 
at Clermont, and nearly all the estate, have passed from possession of the 
descendants of the first Lord of the Manor. Robert Livingston, although a 
Scotchman by birth, does not seem to have introduced to America many of 
his own countrymen. A refugee in Holland, he appears to have come to 
this country with strong Dutch proclivities, and his intimate connections 
with the Van Rensselaers gave a distinctively Dutch character to the Liv- 
ingston colony. 

In the year 17 10, Queen Anne, through Governor Robert Hunter, pur- 
chased from Robert Livingston 6,000 acres of land on the Livingston Manor 
for the settlement of German palatinates who had served in the British army, 
and formed the original settlement of what is now known as Germantown. 
Some of the first settlers removed to the Mohawk and Schoharie valleys, 
but the descendants of not a few are still residing in the township. 

The township of Canaan, which was afterward divided into New Lebanon 
and parts of Chatham and Austerlitz, was first occupied by emigrants from 
New England, Samuel A. Curtis being the first white child born in the 
place; but the great influx of American settlers took place after the declara- 
tion of Independence in 1776; and the unsettled condition of affairs pre- 
vious to that epoch is evident from the fact that a very large number of 
the lineages in this volume can only be traced to the revolutionary period, 
family records having been lost when the members thereof were engaged in 
a great national struggle, and the whole country was in a state of turmoil 
and transition. 

The object of the present undertaking is to preserve in the deluge of 
time the pedigrees and salient historic incidents in a family, and to present 
them in the popular form of a direct pedigree. For many years there has

INTRODUCTION. vii 

been a growing interest in genealogical research, as the very large collec- 
tions of such works in our leading libraries testify; but they are very often 
diffuse in their character, and not of great importance to the general public, 
whereas the pedigrees of those whose living personality is part of our social 
and national life are of more interest. 

The preservation of pedigrees is not the mere pastime of the idle and 
curious, it is the honorable employment of the student and historian, for it 
has always formed the basis of true history. In the ancient records of 
Assyria, Egypt and Arabia, the pedigree of an individual is usually the 
thread upon which is strung the stirring events of centuries, and so import- 
ant a place did the preservation of a pedigree occupy among the Israelites 
that it was established as a positive obligation upon every Levite in the 
Temple. Josephus regarded genealogical study as of the utmost importance, 
and in giving an account of his personal history, boasts " I have traced my 
pedigree as I found it recorded on the public tablets." Nor is the genea- 
logical form of history peculiar to semetic races. The earliest Greek records 
were also those of pedigrees. The histories of Acusilaus of Argos, and of 
Hectaeus of Miletus were entitled genealogies (yeveaXoyiai), and the frag- 
mentary histories of Xanthus, Charon of Lampsacus and Hellanicus are 
strongly marked with the genealogical element, whilst in the Greek Testa- 
ment the whole structure of Christianity is based upon the established pedi- 
gree of its founder. 

It is true that in the volume before us there are many lineages which contain 
nothing save the simple records of uneventful generations, but they preserve 
facts which would otherwise be lost in the history of the American nation. 
Examples illustrative of this are seen in a comparison of two lineages of historic 
value as regards Columbia county history — that of Martin Van Buren, eighth 
president of the United States, who was born at Kinderhook in 1782, and that 
of Samuel J. Tilden, governor of New York State and candidate for the presi- 
dency in the great political struggle of 1876, and who was born in New Leba- 
non. The records of the Van Buren family have not been preserved, and we 
have, therefore, no information regarding the pedigree of Martin Van Buren 
beyond that of his father, although he was undoubtedly descended from an old 
Dutch ancestry — whereas in the case of Samuel J. Tilden we are able to trace 
the lineage of one who is an important figure in American history to the original 
English stock. Some affect to be indifferent to such matters, on the principle 
that we judge of a man as we find him, and not on the merits of his ancestors,

viii INTRODUCTION. 

but such feelings are not in harmony with those of the student of history and 
of hereditary genius. 

The publication of such details as are given in the present volume have also 
another aspect of importance, inasmuch as they may enable families to trace 
their ancestry to a remote period. Such works as Savage's Genealogical Diction- 
ary of New England* Austin's Dictionary of Rhode lsland y \ Munsell's First 
Settlers of Albany, and the long list of works given in Durrie's Alphabetical 
Index to American Genealogies and Pedigrees^ trace as far as possible the three 
first generations of early American immigrants, and all that is needed is a 
careful investigation regarding the two generations which usually connect the 
present with the past as recorded in those genealogical publications. 

Such a work as the present must also be of some interest and importance to 
many persons in Europe, as enabling them to locate branches of their families 
who have obtained a "local habitation and a name " in the new world.

FRANS JANSEN PRUYN or 

PRUEN (as the name is written presumably 
by himself) (the ancestor of 1028, 1029, 1030), 
who was the son of John Pruyn of Holland, 
is found settled in Albany with his wife, 
Aeltje or Alida, as early as 1665. Being a 
Roman Catholic, he refused to take the 



oath of allegiance to King William, the 
Protestant king of England, but expressed 
himself willing to swear fidelity. His son 
John, however, subscribed to the oath. 
His widow, Aeltje, joined the Dutch Re- 
formed Church in 1683. He had sons 
Johannes, Samuel, Frans and Arent. Sam- 
uel was the founder of the Albany branch 
of Pruyns, which has held positions of 
trust in that city, and Arent migrated to 
Kinderhook, where his descendants have 
also resided for six generations. There 
are traces of the name in Holland as far 
back as 1333. See Ptuyn Gen. by John V. 
L. Pruyn, Jr., 1886; Munsell's Collections.

the names of the eight original proprietors 
of the island of Nantucket, are inscribed 
on a genealogical tree of the Ray family 
and will be of some public interest. [1046] 
" The hasty Coffin — fractious loud 
The silent Gardiner — plotting, 
The Mitchells good, the Barkers— proud. 

The Macys eat the pudding, 
The Rays and Russells coopers are 

The knowing Folgers lazy — 
A learned Coleman very rare 
And scarce an honest Hussey."

Rensselaerswyck,and the other, Hendrick, 
became first patroon of the " lower manor " 
of Claverack in Columbia county. From 
Kiliaan and Hendrick are descended the 
numerous members of the family in Amer- 
ica; Jeremias, who died Oct. 12, 1674, 
was the son of Kiliaan Tan Rensselaer, 
a merchant of Amsterdam, Holland, direc- 
tor of the Dutch West India Company of 
the Amsterdam chamber established in 
1621, and who was sixth in descent from 
Henry Walters Van Rensselaer of Hemeg- 
seet, Holland, who does not appear to have 
ever visited America, but he is the progen- 
itor of all the Van Rensselaers in the 
United States; he married 1st, Hillegonda 
Van Bylant, the mother of Johannes, who 
died without issue, 2nd, Anna Van Wely,

Rensselaerswyck. Jan Baptist and Nico- 
laas died without male issue, Jeremias had 
two sons, Kiliaan and Hendrick. The crest 
of this historic family is an iron basket of 
flames, and the coat of arms the cross with 
the Dutch motto niemand Bonder, " no one 
without it," but some of the Albany family 
seem to have adopted the motto omnibus 
effulgemus, " we shine for all." See Mun-

American Ancestry. Giving the pedigree, in

ancestors arrived in this country previous 
to the Declaration of Independence in 1776 ; 
together with facts of public interest, such 
as public service, literary and scientific 
attainments. Each volume consists of a 



royal octavo book of 100 closely printed 
pages of fine type, and is bound in stiff 
paper covers 'or boards, price $2.50. 
Leather, $8. 
Vol. I. Albany City. 
Vol. II. Columbia County. 
American Genealogical Index, being an al- 
phabetical index to American Genealogies 
and Pedigrees contained in State, County 
and Town Histories, Printed Genealogies 
and kindred works, by Daniel S. Durrie, 
Librarian State Historical Society of Wis- 
consin. Third edition, revised ana enlarged 
(last edition), Albany, 1886, 8vo, about 245 
pages, cloth, $8. 
This work has been prepared with a view to 
facilitate the study of family history, by fur- 
nishing an index to the genealogies contained 
in the large number of county and town his- 
tories, collections of public and privately 
printed genealogies, centennial anniversary 
celebrations, biographies and other works con- 
taining the desired information. But few per- 
sons have an adequate knowledge of the amount 
of genealogical material to be found in such 
volumes, from the fact, that any thing like a 
full collection of works in those departments 
can only be found in the larger cities, and in 
the hands of a few private parties ; and without 
consulting them, it is often an impossibility to 
prepare a family history, or of learning any 
thing very definite of any particular family. 
With the assistance furnished by this volume, 
no difficulty will be experienced in collecting 
needed information, by any one interested in 
such investigations. It also affords instruction 
to the general reader who may not know whether 
the history of his native county, town or village 
has ever oeen written and published ; but its 
most desirable feature is the knowledge to be 
gained by all persons, whether residing in the 
country or elsewhere, who, by examining its 
pages, can inform themselves whether the gen- 
ealogy or pedigree of any family, or any por- 
tion thereof, in which they may feel an interest, 
has been printed in any volume, and if so, that 
they may have the benefit of such information. 
More than fifteen thousand names are here 
alphabetically arranged. Several hundred vol- 
umes of historical and biographical publics 
tions have been minutely examined in detail, 
and not depending on the indexes, appended to 
such volumes, which are more or less defective 
and incomplete. A number of works not acces- 
sible to the compiler have been examined by 
parties interested in perfecting the work. The 
more important names in Dr. Savage's Gmea- 
logical Dictionary have been noticed as well as 
the genealogies found in the volumes of the 
NewEiwlandBUtoricaland Genealogical Rea- 
inter. This is the only work of the Kind pub- 
lished in this country. It has been the aim of 
the compiler to make it as thorough and com- 
plete as possible. The body of the work Is pre- 
ceded by a list of principal titles of works re- 
ferred to in the index.
