PREFACE.
This work is designed as a convenient genealogy
and book of reference for the descendants of Dirck
Wesselse Ten Broeck, without regard to the family-
name they bear to-day. From the first to the sixth
generations the records are confined to those families
where either one or other parent bore the surname of
Ten Broeck. In the three last generations all descend-
ants have been given, irrespective of name.
The sources of these annals are many. In addition to
the wealth of material on the shelves of libraries, wills
and deeds in county offices, and church and old Dutch
Bible records have been collated.
Care has been taken to make a list of all authorities.
The reference figures running through the narrative
portion of the book are explained by the reference
index which is found on the pages preceding the index
to names.
The preference shown to the " Documents Relating to
the Colonial History of New York," by E. B. O'Calla-
ghan, and the " Documentary History of New York,"
by the same author, is on the ground that original
vi Preface
State documents are indisputable. The references to
the Documentary History are paged according to the
quarto edition.
To Mr. Henry Brace of New York I am greatly in-
debted. The result of years of patient investigation of
early records, and of an extensive correspondence, he
has most generously placed at my disposal, grudging
not in addition continuous assistance in the work.
General James Grant Wilson, President of the New
York Genealogical and Biographical Society, has kindly
allowed me to incorporate into this volume the data of
the Ten Broeck Family which were printed in Volume
XX of The Record.
The family tradition referred to on page eight was
committed to writing by the late Judge John Sanders
of Schenectady, at his daughter's request. This daugh-
ter, Mrs. Harold Wilson of Clermont, has done much
toward rendering this work a great pleasure by assist-
ing in manifold ways, and by a cheerful courage which
has lightened many labors.
To all, new friends and old, who have united in deeds
of cordial helpfulness I give most hearty thanks. I de-
sire especially to acknowledge my indebtedness to all
who have made it possible for me to add the valued
illustrations to this work. Their names are found in
the text in connection with the mention of the origi-
nals, with only two exceptions. I here express my
Preface vii
gratification that through the kindness of Miss Mar-
garet P. Hillhouse, the copy of the portrait and also the
book-plate of her ancestor, Major John C. Ten Broeck,
are given in these covers. The book-plate is reproduced
from the original copper-plate which was probably exe-
cuted by Maverick, now owned by Mr. Mansfield Lovell
Hillhouse of New Brunswick, New Jersey.
My thanks are also due Miss E. H. B. Forman of
Brooklyn, through whose courtesy some years since I
made the sketch of the coat- of- arms from the valued
painting still in her possession.
Mr. Berthold Fernow, sometime keeper of the his-
torical records and documents of the State of New
York, made the translation from the original Dutch of
the will of Dirck Wesselse Ten Broeck.
It remains only for me to say that this subject is not
exhausted, nor without omissions and errors. But if
the flame of enthusiasm shall spread, and the several
branches of Ten Broecks unite to bring their records to
completion, the whole aim will have been accomplished.

THE TEN BROECK GENEALOGY.
THE COLONIZATION OF
NEW NETHERLAND,
THE FIRST AND SECOND GENERATIONS.
!hE events which led to the colonization
of the Valley of the Hudson are of great
interest to all who revert with pardon-
able pride to ancestors whose names
are synonymous with the history of
those early times. When Hendrik Hud-
son's discoveries of the great river which bears his name,
and the Indian tribes inhabiting the region, were made
known, the Holland merchants were prompt to improve
the rare opportunity for trade thus opened.
On March the twenty-seventh, 1614, they obtained
legalized permission from the States-General at The
Hague to trade along the shores of America. They
soon formed themselves into a body known as ''The
United New Netherland Company," and gained, in
addition, the grant of exclusive privilege to trade with
the coast settlements for a period of three years to begin
on or before the first of January, 161 5.
1
2 The West India Trading Company
The first buildings erected for use were a block-house
or fortress upon an island just below the present site of
Albany, and a trading-post on the lower end of Man-
hattan Island. At the latter place they proceeded to
collect furs and skins in immense numbers, ready for
shipment to the Holland ports. The region discovered
by these traders was soon named New Netherland, and
recognized as Holland's dependency.
In the year 1617 a treaty of peace and goodwill was
concluded between the Dutch traders and the chiefs
or sachems of the five nations of Indians inhabiting this
region, which proved of great value and of long con-
tinuance. The unsettled condition of affairs in Europe
at this period led many wealthy merchant traders from
Belgium to seek the shelter thus afforded to pursue their
business, and as soon as opportunity offered a new
company was incorporated. The charter conveyed the
exclusive mercantile control of the Atlantic shores of
America and Africa to the new body, under the title of
The West India Trading Company. The central power
was divided among five branches or chambers located
in five principal cities of Holland, each with its directors,
members and ships.
Peter Minuit, a French Protestant, a native of Wesel,
the cosmopolitan city of Rhenish Prussia and adjacent to
the Netherlands, was the first fully empowered Director
General of this new Province. He arrived in the Bay of
New Amsterdam early in May, 1626, and at once pur-
chased from the Indian owners the present site of New
York City, and vested the title in the Dutch West
India Trading Company.
The Patroons 3
As colonization advanced Fort Orange was built on
the present site of Albany, and clustered around it, for
security, were the homes of the factors and servants of
the Company, who carried forward the entire Indian
trade throughout the vast tracts running back to the
rivers of Ohio, and north to the boundary of the Cana-
dian Province.
To stimulate interest, and promote civilization, the title
of Patroon, with certain privileges, was granted any who
should purchase lands from the Indian owners in this new
world, and colonize fifty adult persons within the limit
of four years. The Directors were the first to follow up
this advantage, and slowly but steadily the work of agri-
culture advanced side by side with the work of trading.
The highest advantage of the trade thus opened ac-
crued to those Holland merchants and Patroons who
risked the most of means, though not always at the cost
of personal sacrifice and toil — and it is well known how
large the returns proved in many instances.
King Charles the Second, from his seat on England's
throne, saw this wealth flowing past his shores at a time
when his need for greater revenues was most pressing.
As a first step he granted to his brother, James, Duke
of York and Albany, the territory from the Connecticut
River to Delaware Bay, including all Long Island and
the River Hudson. Thus England's aggressive policy
toward this child of Holland grew, until the squadron
which conveyed Richard Nicolls, commissioned English
Governor of New Netherland, arrived in the Bay of New
Amsterdam and the demand for submission was heard.
There was little question of the wisest course. The
4 Submission to England
Dutch were assured continued possession of their real
and personal property, freedom of religious worship, and
all privileges of trade and intercourse with Holland. It
appeared they had little to gain by resistance, and they
might lose all !
It followed that on September the eighth, 1664, New
Amsterdam passed under the English flag. Beverwyck
submitted on the twenty-fourth of the same month, and
the title of York and Albany became the new names of
the two principal settlements. Holland gained the as-
cendancy once more in 1673, but it was for a short time
only, and when peace was declared, the Duke of York
received a second patent for the province of wide domain,
which from this time took on the name of New York,
only narrowing her boundaries as necessity demanded.
It has been said the history of any family through
seven generations, however exalted or humble it may be,
presents a true picture of the progress of society — it
might be added, of the political world as well. It will be
found in these pages how, in the spirit of toleration and
with a high sense of honor natural to the sons of Holland,
this and the allied families became the true and worthy
servants and sons, both of England's colonies and of the
"free and independent States."
The Dutch were attached totheirown national Christian
belief and form of worship, and care was exercised to pro-
vide the Colony with church buildings. Accordingly, a
Reformed Protestant Dutch Church was erected at Bever-
wyck, or Albany, in 1643. It was of wood, and the size,
thirty-four feet by nineteen, only admitted of nine benches
for the worshipers. A few years later, it being necessary

to change the location, a new and larger building was
called for. By 171 5 the second had grown too small,
and then the new one, of brick, was constructed in such
a manner as to inclose the other, which was not de-
molished until the larger walls were completed around
it. The last building was both ornate and curious, the
pulpit and bell both being purchased in Holland.
The people worshiped according to the usages of their
fathers, in the same language, and led by pastors who
continued to receive their ordination in Holland ; and
one can imagine and picture the pride and joy they had
in this house of God ! How intimately it was inter-
woven with the lives of these early families may be
brought out by calling to mind some of the customs and
incidents of those days.
It was usual for the Dutch to carry their children to
church for baptism, and this rite was often solemnized
on the very day of birth ; or, if deferred, it was rarely
for many days. The entry, therefore, on the " Doop
Boek," as the volume was called in which the record was
entered by the pastor, was commonly accepted as the
date of birth, unless the register contained the two dates.
The poor of all the city were cared for by the church
for more than a century after the granting of the Charter.
The public safety was in its keeping also, as appears from
the following^: At a meeting of the Public Officers of
Albany, on August the first, 1689, it was Resolved,
" Since there is news of war between England and France
yt ye gem" now mett at this Convention do each bring a
gun, with y^ lb of Powder and Balls equivalent, to be
hung up in y" church in y® space of three days, and that
6 Armorial Bearings
y® Traders and other Inhabitants be persuaded to do y®
same to make up y^ number of fifty, to be made use of
upon occasion."
For the purpose of adding to the " church adorn-
ments," a number of its members were permitted to have
their armorial bearings upon the windows. Several, if
not all of these paintings, were made in the Fatherland.
Among the families so honored were those of Schuyler,
Van Rensselaer, Wendel, Herbertsen, and, it is generally
conceded, that of Ten Broeck also. There is in the family
an ancient oil-painting of the Ten Broeck arms, sur-
rounded by the mantling which characterizes both the
Schuyler and the Herbertsen arms, as given in books re-
lating to the original church glass. This painting bears
no signature or date, but has descended in company with
the portraits of Johannes Ten Broeck, No. 17, and his
wife, of Albany. The latter bear the date of 1720.
Adaptations of the crest, arms, and motto have been
preserved in the various families of the Albany branch of
Ten Broecks, each separately and unknown to the others,
until the past year. In this way it is found among the
descendants of each of the sons of Dirck Wesselse Ten
Broeck as follows : The seal of General Samuel Ten
Broeck, No. 135; the silhouette made by Albertina Ten
Broeck Sanders, No. 140; the book-plate of Major John
C. Ten Broeck, No. 194, and the small silver seal of Dirck,
son of General Abraham Ten Broeck. The oil-painting
reproduced by steel-plate for these pages is, doubtless,
of earlier date than the others. The motto, " Perge Coe-
pisti," is found in the latter seal abbreviated to the one
word " Sustinco," thereby losing, perhaps, something of

the force of the earher words, " Continue as you have
begun."
In these days, when awakened interest in events of
Colonial and Revolutionary times is stirring all minds
to appreciation of the characters and deeds of our fore-
fathers, we count anew our treasures of history and tra-
dition. It has been the aim, by the help of all available
material in manuscript and in print, to trace the name
and family of Ten Broeck, from the first mention of
them in the chronicles of the Colony, down through the
generations to the present time.
That in the search we find the name under various
forms, and with different spellings, will be no surprise to
any to whom has been granted the leisure and oppor-
tunity for the study of early state and family papers.
It is a notorious fact that men did not always write
their own names uniformly in those days. This confus-
ing variety, it is well known, is met with in double mea-
sure in the Dutch Records : first, because frequently
these Dutch names were at the mercy of an English-
speaking scribe ; then it was in part due to the grad-
ual anglicizing of those foreign sounds. But it was owing,
above all, to the use of patronymics in a form peculiar to
the Dutch, the father's Christian name being annexed
to that of the son or daughter, with the termination se,
or sen, and the family or surname proper being usually
omitted, or only employed when, in rare instances, the
signature was of legal importance.
The custom of habitual use of the family name in-
creased among the Dutch in New Netherland, from the
time the Province was occupied by the English in 1664.
8 Wessel Ten Broeck
But among the Ten Broecks, it was not until the gener-
ation born under English rule in the Colony came into
public prominence that the custom became invariable.
There are many blanks in our early Colonial Records,
especially relating to the names of those coming to New
Netherland. The Records in Holland of the West In-
dia Trading Company were sold as waste-paper in
1821.^ This wanton destruction, combined with the si-
lence of family record on the subject, leaves us only the
honored tradition that Wessel Ten Broeck, the one an-
cestor of the several branches of the Ten Broeck family
in the United States, came to the Colony of New Nether-
land with Peter Minuit, the first Director General, in
1626. Whether he married in the Colony or in the
Fatherland, and where his children were born, is not
known ; we cherish the hope that search of town and
church records in Holland may be soon made.

Wessel Wesscisc Ten Broeck
The eldest of this family of children, Wessel Wesselse
is thought to be the colonist who is recorded as coming
from Miinster, in Westphalia, in the ship Faith, in De- _^^^ ^^
cember, 1659.^ He married at the Dutch Collegiate -''A^
Church, New York, on December the seventeenth, 1670, "~ ^
Maria Ten Eyck, daughter of Coenraedt Ten Eyck, of
Amsterdam, and Marya Boelen. She died November '
the fifteenth, 1694, and his second wife was Laurentia Z^^"**'
Kellenaer, widow in turn of Dominie Van Gaasbeek, and 2 '^-> 'f ,
of Major Thomas Chambers, Lord of the Manor of Fox- ^JU^ J^
hall. Shortly after his marriage, in 1670, he removed _..^^'^,,J ^,
to Kingston, then Esopus, where he applied for a grant
of land, which he received in 1676, and became a man .,^ i
of influence in the community. His descendants are Y'>*^
known as the Kingston Ten Broecks; they erected the
house now known as the " Senate House of the State .
of New York," in which the First Constitution of
the State was adopted and proclaimed in April, 1777.
The house stands in the heart of Kingston, and being
now owned by the State, serves as a museum for an
interesting and valuable collection of portraits, relics,
and curios.
The second son, Dirck Wesselse, known as the pro-
genitor of the Albany family of Ten Broecks, is he to
whose descendants the following pages are devoted.
Hendrick Wesselse (4) married, resided in New York
City and left many descendants.
Cornelia Wessels seems to have left no children.
Church records at Albany, N. Y., confirm the tradi-
tion of the relationship of those bearing the family name,
as above. Positive proof of it is found in the ancient
10 Ten Broeck Bible Records
Dordrecht Bible now in possession of Mrs. Abram Pells,
of Kingston, New York.
The records in this Bible cover a period of one hun-
dred years, in data relating to the Kingston Ten Broecks,
the descendants of Wessel Wesselse. There is also an
entry made by the son of Wessel Wesselse, where his
" Uncle Hendrick Ten Broeck " is cited. And a later
entry records the death of his " Uncle Dirck Wessels Ten
Broeck." This affords a double confirmation, giving both
the same name and the date as written by the eldest son
of the latter, in his own family Bible. The Record reads
according to the beautiful form in frequent use by this
people: " 1717, September i8th, Is my Uncle Dirck
Wessels Ten Broeck in the Lord reposed." The follow-
ing sketch is collated from state papers and manuscripts:
DIRCK WESSELSE TEN BROECK,
Regarding the youth of Dirck Wesselse Ten Broeck,
and where the years were passed, we have no facts. His
education can be said by inference to have been of an
excellent order. He was a ready writer, expressing
himself wisely and fluently as manifold duties required.
He became master of the Indian language, a necessary
and valuable acquisition for a man in public life in those
times. Doubtless he acquired the most valuable part
of his knowledge on the streets and in the council cham-
bers of his own city, or in the solitary goings here and
there as a public man on duty for the Colony. We can
picture him also in the bands and knee-breeches of the
times — and not indifferent to personal appearance, for
Merchant in Albany 1 1
early Albany records note his purchase of silver breeches
buttons !
The first mention we find of his name in public life is
in connection with the affairs of Peter Van Alen, a tra-
der of Beverwyck, or Albany. And when the latter ar-
ranged to revisit Holland in 1662 he gave a power of
attorney to "his servant Dirck Wessels."^ In a grant
of land made by Richard Nicolls (the English Governor
1 664-1 667) Dirck Wesselse and Peter Van Alen are
"partners."
The earliest date at which his signature appears on
the records, as now preserved, is under date June the
twenty-first, 1663. It is written "Dirck Wesselse ten
Broeck." ^ He continued to use the small "t" throughout
his life, writing his children's names in the same manner.
He seems to have devoted himself to business with
great intelligence and success. In 1663 he is spoken of
as " a free merchant " in Albany.*^ In a list of names,
bearing the date July the twenty-seventh, 1657, relating
to a shipment of skins and peltries is found this item,
" Derik Wessils 5000 beaver skins." ^
The paper on file among the city documents is the
original entry, but the date is said to be an erroneous
one, which is argued from the name of the clerk and his
term of office. This large shipment was doubtless correct.
Dirck Wesselse Ten Broeck, in 1663, signed the con-
tract for the house and lot on the corner of State and
James street, Albany, the late residence of the famous
Anneke Jans, for which he agreed to pay the heirs one
thousand guilders in beaver skins. The deed,^ given
after full payment had been made, was dated July ^it
12 Envoy to Canada
1667. When he purchased this house in 1663, he was
planning for his own home ; the same year he was married
to Christina Van Buren, the daughter of an early colonist.
From this time, his importance in public affairs in-
creased, his years were full and his cares varied. In
the year 1676, the twenty-first of July, Governor Don-
gan appointed him Magistrate Commissary. Following
this, he was chosen for the service of Envoy to Canada,
and on many occasions he bore the correspondence and
treaties between the English Colonial Governor and the
French agents.^''
Failing to receive remuneration for certain services, he
petitioned the English Government on the subject. The
following is the royal decision :
Whereas, It hath been represented unto us by the Peticion
of Derick Wessells, that having been sent upon the public serv-
ice from New York to the Governor of Canada in the year 1683,
for w.'''' said service there is due unto the Petitioner the sum of
seventy four Pounds, eight shillings, of which he hath not re-
ceiv** any part . . . you are to cause what shall appear to
be due to him, for the said service, to be paid unto him out of
our Revenue. ^^
Given at our Court at Kensington By her Majesty's Command.
Signed — Nottingham, Secy.
The Charter of the "ancient town of Beverwyck, or
Albany," as a city, was executed July twenty-sixth, 1686.
Dirck Wesselse Ten Broeck was named first in the list of
Aldermen for the city.^^ The annual elections took place
on S. Michael and All Angels' Day, September the twenty-
ninth. Following this first election, he was made Re-
Mayor of Albany 1 3
corder. His signature appears on almost every page of
the records for the following years.
On October twenty-sixth, the same year, the Common
Council nominated and appointed Dirck Wesselse Re-
corder, and Robert Livingston Gent", to view the land
above Schenectady, on the' Mohawk River, called Tion-
onderoga, and other land adjoining, to the extent of one
thousand acres, in order to purchase it for the city.-^^
After serving the city in the capacity of Recorder for
ten years, he was appointed Mayor, in 1696, by Governor
Fletcher — the fourth to fill the office since the granting
of the Charter. He received the appointment for the
second year. The Mayor, Recorder, and Aldermen were
also Justices of the Peace. They held the Courts of
Quarter Sessions at Albany, and the Courts of Oyer and
Terminer. One of the Board presided.
Dirck Wesselse Ten Broeck had been elected a member
of the first representative Provincial Assembly, the one
seated in 1691. He was reelected continuously to the
second, third, fourth, and fifth. He was again chosen for
the eighth, but was denied his seat, because of alleged
non-residence in Albany.
The accession of Prince William of Orange to the Eng-
Hsh throne was a period of great anxiety and danger in the
colony of New York. Jacob Leisler, a Captain of Troops
in New York, resolved to assume control there in the in-
terim preceding the appointment of a Governor by the new
King. The magistrates at Albany considered that Leis-
ler infringed and subverted the established laws, and they
refused to listen to his demands for control over their
city. They agreed in convention that public affairs should
14 The Albany Convention
be managed by the Mayor and municipal officers until
orders reached them from the King.
It proved impossible, however, for them to hold to
their resolution. Albany was an isolated frontier town
in those days, and ruin threatened the city and colony
from the French and allied Indians.
It is at such times that the best there is in character
and judgment is shown, and we are fortunate to be able
to follow Dirck Wesselse Ten Broeck through this hour
of extremity.
Jacob Milborne, Commander of the Sloops for this
would-be Governor, arrived at Albany on the ninth of
November, 1689, and in Leisler's name demanded admit-
tance to the fort for himself and men. This he was re-
fused, although the Convention proceeded to invite him
to land, which he did ; then, instead of addressing him-
self to the representative men, he turned to the curious,
anxious assemblage, and endeavored to incite revolt
against those chosen to be the leaders.
Taken by surprise, none of the Convention replied until,
being taunted with silence, Dirck Wesselse, the Recorder,
said, " Time enough yet. We are not authorized to make
answer to such discourse. We have seen no Commission
yet. The Convention has met to provide quarters for the
men, if they have come with a good intent, and the bil-
lets are now on the table. There is no arbitrary power
here." ^*
It was decided to meet the following day, which they
did, it being "the Sabbath, after the second sermon. Past
Meridian." Jacob Milborne then produced his commis-
sion, signed by Leisler.
Jacob Leisler^s Letter 1 5
Dirck Wesselse Ten Broeck quietly said, "Such a Com-
mission, granted by a company of private men, is of no
force here " ; if he could " show a commission from His
Majesty King William our Liege Lord," he would be
willingly obeyed ; but they were resolved to be quiet
and in peace if possible, and they would dispute no
more.
The following morning the Convention intended to go
into the City Hall, but understanding there was so great
a multitude of people assembled there, they remained at
the residence of Dirck Wesselse Ten Broeck, " endea-
voring to agree with Jacob Milborne." ^^
Two letters are preserved among the Colonial MSS.,
both of which set forth Leisler's personal opinion and
feeling regarding our ancestor, Dirck Wesselse. They
are very diverse in tone, and we quote both, so far as
they are of interest on this point. He wrote the Colonial
Governor at Boston, under date of October twenty-sec-
ond, 1689, as follows: ^^
I am informed your honor has received a par'lar letter from
a vessell then broke Wessell [Ten brook] of Albany of which I
desire your honor for a copie ; he is a persone who has formerly
professed Popery, and recanted a Protestant; been employed
for Ambassador to Canada, and understands not one word
of French, for which embassador he has been well rewarded
by both parties, being a mystery to many ; he is recorder at
Albany, in noe quality for that office, he has occasioned,
fourty miles from Albany, towards the French, to build a Fort
upon his land where he has sent twelve men to guard it,
who must be a sacrifice if they come & the fort a nest to
the enemies — &c.
1 6 Question of Religion
Just eight months later Leisler sent the following
personal communication : ^'^
New York, June 22, 1690.
Sir: The character which I have before received of you
from Albany, and now more particularly from Major Milborne,
doth invite me to render you thanks for your readinesse and
zeale in the managing and assisting the designe on foot against
the French, which I hereby desire you to persevere in, and
what encouragement I can afford you, assure yourselfe shall
not be wanting, being much satisfied with your frequent assist-
ance in advising w'^ ye Commissioners to whom I have written
farther thereof
I am you"" affectionate friend to serve you,
Jacob Leisler.
To Mr. Dirck Wessells,
The charge of " Popery " has never been traced fur-
ther — and this might very probably prove to be the
source, as the question of Protestantism was one of the
means by which Leisler sought to aggrandize himself
A convincing counterproof is found in the circum-
stance that the names of all this contemporary genera-
tion of the Ten Broeck family are of frequent mention
on the books of the Reformed Dutch Church, and they
were each prominently connected with affairs relating
to its upbuilding, both in Albany and Kingston.
We now turn to the subject of Dirck Wesselse Ten
Broeck's greatest activity, as no doubt it proved his no-
blest service to the Colony, namely : Commissioner of
Indian Affairs, and his four times repeated appointment
as Political Agent to Canada. This was largely a mat-
Indian Commissioner 17
ter of business relating to the adjustment of the Indian
question between the English and French.
His own account of two journeys to the French Prov-
ince may prove of interest. He had been sent to the
French Governor with the Truce from King James H.,
begging a cessation of hostilities ; the report on his
return was rendered to Peter Schuyler, then Mayor of
Albany, and was as follows : ^^
Dirck Wessells, Recorder of the City of Albany, being
examined, saith, that on the eleventh of June last, he was
sent from Albany by Governour Dongan to carry the Truce or
Cessation made between the Kings of England and France, to
the Governour of Canada; and that the two and twentyeth
following he came to Mount Royall, where he found the said
Governour of Canada, and to his own hand, the same day de-
livered the letters of the said Cessation ; and that the five and
twentyeth day of July past, he was againe sent by the said Gov-
ernour Dongan to carry several prisoners to Canada, and came
again to Mount Royall about the seventh or eightth of August,
where finding the Governour, he delivered to him his letters,
with the prisoners.
... At the time before menconed, when he carried ye Ces-
sation to Canada, and after the delivery thereof to the Gov-
ernour there, he did every day during his stay att Mount Roy-
all, w^^ was about five days, see and discourse with a certain
Indian called Quetseits, who formerly lived on Hudson's River,
and was well knowne to him ; and that he left him there, who,
as this examinant understands by the information of several of
the Schathsooke Indians, was one of the eleven Indians that
have lately done mischiefe in Connecticott River.
And further saith not.
Sworne y^ 25 of September, 1688, before me,
Peter Schuyler, Mayor.

1 8 The Schenectady Massacre
In August the following year, when the French and
Indians were doing much to alarm and disturb the
people, Dirck Wesselse Ten Broeck, in company with
another of the Board, was sent to put the farmers of
Kinderhook and Claverack on their guard against in-
cursions. One month later they went north to Sche-
nectady, to warn the people, and to concert measures for
defense. The latter warning was notably ignored, and
Dirck Wesselse was present when the Council met in
Albany the tenth of February, 1690, and received the
dread news of the horrible massacre at Schenectady, and
the burning of the settlement.
Although the snow was " above knee deep," yet the
Council resolved to " bury y** dead there, succor y" poor
people, and pursue and follow after the French and
Indian enemy, and use all means imaginable to rescue
the prisoners." ^^
In 1 69 1 the situation at Albany became very alarm-
ing, owing to the report of a predatory attack upon the
city. It was determined to try the effect of calling
out men, to send a force in command of Major Peter
Schuyler to gain information regarding the enemy.
The Mohawks promised to help defend the frontiers, but
as these warriors did not arrive at the time arranged,
Dirck Wesselse Ten Broeck was sent to their country
to learn the cause. An idea of the inconvenience and
exposure involved in this service may be gathered from
the postscript to a letter written in regard to these af-
fairs, bearing the date December thirtieth, 1691 — "The
scribe prays to be excused, the ink freezing in y® pen."
The Indians of this section of the country, known
The Five Nations 1 9
among the Dutch as "The Five Nations," were distinct
tribes, viz. : Mohawks, Oneidas, Onondagas, Cayugas,
and Senecas. The French grouped them under the one
appellation of Iroquois.
They proved themselves most reliable allies to the set-
tlers at Albany. In 167 1 they numbered about two
thousand warriors. The English held them in interest as
against the French, and sought their trade, which was a
great source of profit.
Conferences were held on the requisition of either
party. Albany was a midway meeting-place for this
purpose, although the Indians' Council House was at
Onondaga.
Dirck Wesselse was repeatedly sent to the Mohawk,
Oneida and Onondaga Castles, to endeavor to confirm
the fidelity and allegiance of the Indians to the colonists,
as well as to consult with them in regard to proposals
from the Canadian agents and the English governors.
His journal of such an expedition in company with
Robert Sanders shows the confidence he inspired. ^^
The same high regard was felt by the colonial authori-
ties. This was set forth in a report to the London
Lords of Trade. It read in part thus : " The persons
most proper to treat with them [t/ie Indians'], being
very much beloved by them, in the Provinces of New
York and Albany, are Mr. Peter Schuyler, late Mayor of
Albany . . . and one of the Council, Mr. Dirck Wessells,
Justice of the Peace at Albany," and Rev. Dr. Dellius,
the Dutch pastor. ^^
Shortly after this, Governor Fletcher published the
following official act :
20 Indian Interpreter
Benjamin Fletcher,
Captain General and Governor in Chief of His Majesty's Province of New
York, &c.
To Peter Schuyler, Esq^"- Mr. Godfrey Dellius, Maj^
DiRCK Wessells Mayor of the City of Albany^ and the Mayor
of the City for the time being :
I do, by virtue of the power and authority to me given by
his Majt^- Letters Patent, under the Great Seal of England,
hereby impower you, or any two of you, to treat, confer, and
consult, with the Five Indian Nations ; . . . . and from time
to time you are hereby required to give a constant and minute
account of all your proceedings to me, and His Maj*^^. Council
for the Province of New Yorke.
Given . . . this tenth day of August, 1696.
Benjamin Fletcher. 22
The Board thus named and constituted, managed the
Indian affairs for two years only, because the succeed-
ing English Governor found it to be a source of jealousy,
and restored the power to all the Magistrates of Albany.
Dirck Wesselse was instructed by Lord Bellomont to
negotiate with the Five Nations at a Convention to be
held at Onondaga. His " Memorial " of the transaction
was rendered to the Governor, and forwarded to the
French Governor of Canada. He was usually present at
the frequent conferences held in Albany and elsewhere,
repeatedly acting as interpreter. ^"^
He was despatched by Governor Fletcher to the Oneida
Indians, to endeavor to obtain possession of the person
of Rev''" Pierre Milet,^^ the P>cnch Jesuit, it being well
known that when the Indians became Roman Catholics
they allied themselves with the French.
Major of Militia 21
Finally, on October the second, 1716, Governor Hun-
ter gave to Dirck Wesselse Ten Broeck an honorable
discharge from the Indian Board, where during thirty
years he had labored for the peace and security of the
Colony, and the protection and civihzation of the In-
dians. ^^
The men of those days had need of patriotism in every
form, and it is no surprise that one who dealt wisely for
the people should also take up arms in their defense.
When in 1690 the French resolved to make a descent
into the English Provinces, Fitz- John Winthrop was Com-
mander-in-Chief of the Colonists, who advanced in de-
fense of their borders. On his march in August of that
year, he made the following entry in his journal :
Quartered this night at a place called Saratoga, about fifty
English miles from Albany, where is a block-house, and some
of the Dutch soldiers. At this place I overtook Mr. Wessells,
Recorder of the Citty of Albany, and a Company of the princi-
pal gentleman Vollunteers of that citty.
From this time Dirck Wesselse Ten Broeck served as
a leader of volunteers in times of danger. He was soon '
advanced from the position of Captain to that of Major
under Colonel Peter Schuyler, who at this period com-
manded all the New York forces. When Governor
Coote rendered the first report of the Colonial Militia, in
1700, he was cited as Field Officer in Schuyler's Re-
giment, and always thereafter was familiarly known as
Major Wessells. ^^
According to the custom then prevailing among the
22 Residence in Albany-
more prosperous, Dirck Wesselse Ten Brocck became
a large landholder.
Under date of May thirteenth, 1686, Governor Dongan
confirmed the deed for the " house and lot on the north
side of Yonkhers (State) Street, where he built his little
house that stands to the eastward of his greate house,"
and the deed of a " lot on which Dirck Wesselse and
Jacob Sanderse Glen have built a tradeing house," and
also a purchase from the Magistrates of Albany of " a
piece of ground for a garden, lying behind the old Fort
adjoining the King's pasture." The "token as Quit
Rent" for the above was four shillings yearly. ^^
In reviewing Patents, or Grants for large tracts of land,
it must be called to mind that the Dutch always held
themselves bound to respect the rights of the Indians
as proprietors of the soil, and purchased the title from
them. As an added pledge of fair-dealing, the pur-
chaser was required to make application to the Gov-
ernor, before the sale, and received a confirmation from
him, after obtaining the deed properly drawn and
executed.
The first tract of uncultivated land so purchased by
Dirck Wesselse Ten Broeck comprised four flats, or
plains, lying on the Kinderhook Creek, " one Dutch
mile from Jan Tysen Goes, with the woodland extend-
ing to the high hills." The land now is on the east and
southeast of Kinderhook Lake, in the present town of
Chatham. The original title-paper for this tract, dated
October eighth, 1679, is a curious sheet; the strange
signs and characters of the Indians* totems, and the seals,
occupy much space in the document. ^^ There were five.
The Saratoga Patent 23
" alle Westenhoekse Wilde " who gave title. Sir Ed-
mund Andros, Governor, confirmed it by a Patent dated
April fifteenth, 1680.
The purchase and Patent of the " tract of land called
Sarachtogie " was completed in 1684.^^ It included the
land on both sides of the Hudson, from where Mechan-
ic^ville now stands to Battenkill : twenty-two miles in
extent north and south, and twelve miles east and west.
The patentees numbered seven : Cornelis Van Dyck,
Jan J. Bleecker, Peter P. Schuyler, Johannes Wendel,
Dirck Wessells, David Schuyler, and Robert Livingston.
In the spring of 1685 they made a division of the low-
lands; for this purpose they chose disinterested men to
parcel it, according to value and location ; and one child
each, of the several partners, drew a ticket out of a hat.^*'
Dirck Wesselse's lot was known as Number three. This
land continued in the possession of descendants of the
line of the oldest son for several generations ; and by a
strange happening, General Abraham Ten Broeck led
men to victory on this very spot, when the decisive battle
of Saratoga was fought, in the days of '^6.
On February sixth, 1697, ^ petition signed by Peter
Schuyler, Dr. G. Dellius, Dirck Wessells, and Evert
Bancker, was presented to the Governor and Council, ask-
ing permission to purchase a tract of land on the Mohawk
River, extending about fifty miles in length and two in
breadth, on each side of the river. In June permission
was granted the applicants to make the purchase, " pro-
vided Judge Pinhorne be included." On July the eighth
a bill of sale was signed by the chief Sachem " Rode "
and seven other Mohawks.
24 The Mohawk Patent
The story of this grant, and the trouble it brought
upon those deeply interested in it, is a long one, and for
many reasons very sad. The deed given and signed by
the Mohawks contained the following condition : " It is
the true intent and meaning of this instrument that if
we, or any of our posterity, shall have occasion or need
of any part of said land, we or they shall have provision
for our planting or occupancy." The same month the
deed was presented, and a patent given. But, strangely
enough, the description of the tract in the patent did
not agree with that in the deed ; it made no reservation
for the occupancy of the Indians at the present, or for
future time.
When this became known, it created great excitement ;
two of the Indians testified they had never intended to
alienate their lands, and they desired the patent annulled.
After public meetings and deliberations two patentees,
viz., "Colonel Schuyler and Major Wessells, both of
Albany, freely and of their own accord, resigned their
respective intereststherein to His Majesty." ^^ The Coun-
cil decided this, and other exorbitant grants, to be of
"great prejudice to the City and Country, and a source
of discouragement to the Indians." The remaining pat-
entees were requested to resign, Dr. Dellius was sus-
pended from the exercise of his ministerial functions,
and the Mohawk patent was annulled.
Why the descriptions in the patent and the deed did
not agree, it is difficult and impossible to answer. It is
manifestly unfair to ascribe the change to any of the four
original patentees ; they had been, and continued to be,
the best friends the Indians knew. Dr. Dellius had been
The Westenhook Patent 25
highly regarded by them, and by all ; he had learned the
Indian language, instructed them in the faith, and bap-
tized many of them. One of the Indians at his departure
said, " I am grieved to my soul that you are going
away."
In the Records we find a patent for what probably
proved to be the final purchase Dirck W. Ten Broeck
made of these large tracts. The Indian deed, and the
stamp of the seal of the Province, attesting the sale to
nine gentlemen, of whom one was Major Wessells Ten
Broeck, were dated October, 1703, and April, 1704, and
describe the patent known as the Westenhook. Kinder-
hook was the western line, and Claverack the southern
of this tract, stretching east to Massachusetts and north
to Rensselaerwyck.
The partition of this tract among the patentees did
not take place until Dirck W. Ten Broeck and all his
children had passed away.
It has been reserved until last to refer to an invest-
ment which proved the greatest satisfaction and pleasure.
This was two tracts of land, the one lying on both
sides of Roelof Jansen's Kil, of twelve hundred acres,
and the other situated on the Hudson River, containing
six hundred acres, both of them part of the finest land
included in the tract that had been erected into Living-
ston Manor in 1686. The smaller tract commenced at a
point but two thousand paces south of the Manor House.
It has been questioned why Livingston parted with
this valuable tract, and whether Dirck Wesselse Ten
Broeck might not have been a silent partner in the origi-
nal grant. But the fact remains that " Dirck Wesselse
4
26 - The Bouwerie
Ten Broeck, merchant of Albany," received deed from
Robert Livingston for these lands on October twenty-
sixth, 1694, in consideration of fifteen pounds and an
annual rental of ten shillings.
The creek, or Kil, running through the larger of these
tracts, is still called by the unusual name of those days,
when it first gave the distinctive title to the Bouwerie,
or farm, of Major Ten Broeck. Roelof Jansen, the first
husband of Anneke Jans, was Assistant Bouwmeester
for the Patroon of Rensselaerwyck ; he died about 1636.
The current tradition regarding the name of the stream
is as follows : Owing to a very severe winter in those
early times, Roelof Jansen's boat became so wedged in
the ice of this Kil, that he was obliged to spend the sea-
son with the neighboring Indians, and await the warm air
of spring to release him, and ever thereafter the waters
bore his name.
On the banks of this Kil, on a gentle rise of ground,
Dirck W. Ten Broeck had dwelling and barns erected,
and his interest grew and centered here, as the years
passed on. His great-granddaughter, Albertina Ten
Broeck (No. 140 who subsequently became the wife of
Mr. John Sanders), was probably the last of the family
born in the house then erected upon the Bouwerie. She
made a silhouette illustration of the place, which is both
curious and interesting — a blending of imagination and
reality. It will recall the situation of the house to any
whose good fortune it has been to visit the spot so fraught
with interest, and shows the strength and force of a few
lines to picture the life of the period.
While Dirck Wesselse Ten Broeck withdrew from the

more arduous cares and responsibilities of public life, he
was still retained as Schepen, or Justice Magistrate, to
which office Governor Dongan had appointed him many-
years previous.
Among other things this involved was the adjustment
of differences arising in regard to the Palatines sent out
by Queen Anne. Governor Hunter directed that all
such should be submitted to him. ^^
Throughout the years of his residence in Albany, he
served the church liberally with his best of means and
time. In a list of twenty-four persons, entitled, because
of their contributions, to seats in the new-made gallery
of the church, the name of Dirck Wesselse is found ; it
being the old-time custom for the men of the congrega-
tion to occupy this place.^^ His name, with that of his
wife, stand on the earliest extant list of members, and the
children and grandchildren were baptized according to
their faith and custom.
In 1673 he was a Deacon, and that year audited the
accounts of the Treasurer. On the first of January,
1675, he assumed charge of the Book of Income and
Expenditure. ^* He opened the entries by an intro-
duction somewhat unusual : " Geft Godt alien de Eer,"
t. e., " Give God alone the Glory." For two consecutive
years the books were kept in his handwriting, and fre-
quently thereafter his signature shows his indorsement
of the various Treasurers' accounts.
In consequence of one of their pastors preaching
"heretical doctrines" from the church pulpit, on Sunday,
August thirteenth, 1676, "an extraordinary court" was
held, and Dirck Wesselse Ten Broeck was one of those
28 Home Life
to hear the case.^^ They passed judgment in words that
carry wisdom to all generations : " Church disagreements
should be consumed in the fire of love."
On the church books of 1690 stands a long letter, signed
by his name, in which is set forth the "feeble and desti-
tute condition of the church, by reason of the contem-
plated removal of Dr. Dellius." These two instances
attest him to have been not unmindful of either her
spiritual or temporal welfare.
It is a gratification to find that the private life of our
ancestor was singularly happy and congenial. His
wife proved a true helpmeet in all ways ; the confi-
dence he reposed in her requires the sole proof that by
his last will, made when she had passed her three-score
and tenth year, he intrusted to her the management of
his large estate, besides placing the entire income at her
disposal.
Large families were the fashion in those days, and at
the hearthstone of rich and poor alike was the joyous
sound of children's voices heard. This circle numbered
six sons and seven daughters. Only two of these — twin
sons — died in infancy ; eleven children reached maturity,
and all married.
Shortly after Major Ten Broeck passed the age of
three-score and ten, he withdrew from the activities of
public life and residence in Albany, and the Bouwerie
became his permanent home. Seeming to realize that
his life drew toward the evening, he calmly inventoried
all his possessions, and by his will arranged for the divi-
sion of his estate.
Finally, on September the eighteenth, 17 17, the end
Death and Burial 29
came — a long and useful career was closed. He was
laid to rest on his own place, according to the frequent
custom of those times. The natural terrace, above the
home where he had sought the repose and quiet the city
denies its master-men, afforded a beautiful spot where,
to this day, the peace and purple of the mountains, rising
against the western sky, seem a continued promise of
permanent security and repose. Near him, in this final
resting-place, have been gathered, now and again, some
of his own descendants, marking the generations for
almost two centuries.
The record of his death, written in the Dordrecht
family Bible by his eldest son, reads thus : " My father,
Dirck Wesselse Ten Broeck, died on i8th September,
17 1 7, aged seventy-eight years and nine months."
The will, written in Dutch, is on file with others of
early date, in the office of the Clerk of the Court of Ap-
peals, in the Albany Capitol. With a feeling akin to awe,
one turns over the pages of the document and reads as
follows :
In the Name of the Lord.
On the fourth day of February, in the first year of our Sove-
reign King George of Great Brittain, &c., and in the year of
our Lord 171*, I, Dirck Wesselsen ten Broeck, formerly of
Albany, now of the Manor of Livingston, being sound in body
and mind, having and using my memory, but considering the
shortness and frailty of human life, the certainty of death, and
uncertain hour thereof, have advisedly, without inducement,
persuasion, or misleading by anybody, made, ordained, and
concluded, this my last Will and Testament, revoking and an-
30 The Will
nulling hereby all and each Testament formerly by me made
and executed. This to be taken as my last Will and Testament,
as follows :
First. — I commend my immortal soul, whenever it shall leave
my body, to the gracious and charitable hands of God, my
Creator and Saviour ; my body to a Christian burial in the earth,
whence it came, and there to remain until the day when my
soul and my body shall be re-united, on the day of resurrec-
tion, to share in the ineffable joy of eternal bliss, which God in
his grace has prepared and promised, through the death of
Jesus Christ, for and to all who faithfully believe in Him.
I. Concerning such worldly goods as the Lord has been
pleased to bestow on me, far above my deserts, I give and dis-
pose of them as follows ;
II. I give to my eldest son, Wessel ten Broeck, as his privi-
ledge of first-born son, the sum of three pounds current money of
New York; and I desire that he shall make no further claim
upon my estate than an equal share, as given hereafter to hib
Sisters and Brothers.
III. It is further my will and desire, that after my death my
honest debts shall be paid by my heirs, in due time.
IV. I appoint my well-beloved wife, Christyna Wesselsen
ten Broeck, executrix and administratrix of my whole estate,
real and personal ; lands, houses, lots, bonds, notes, rents, gold
and silver, coined and uncoined; jewels, clothing, linen, woollen,
horses, cattle, negro slaves, and whatever else, nothing in the
world excepted nor reserved from my whole estate, here, in
England, Holland or elsewhere, wherever it may be ; to admin-
ister thereon, without interference or contradiction by my chil-
dren or anybody else, or that she should be held to give an
accounting or inventory during the time of her widowhood ; but
with this express condition, that she shall not be allowed to sell,
alienate, or exchange any of my real estate, wherever it may be,
The Will 3 1
such as lands, houses, lots and mortgages, but only use thereof
the fruit, and yearly income of which she may dispose during
her widowhood. But, if she should again marry, she shall be
held, before entering anew into the state of matrimony, to sur-
render the whole estate, according to a sworn inventory, to my
sons, to wit: Wessel ten Broeck, Samuel ten Broeck, Johannes
ten Broeck and Tobias ten Broeck, whom I then appoint execu-
tors of my whole estate, real and personal, to administer
thereon.
They shall be held to give to my said wife one-third of the
yearly revenue, during her life, and the other two-thirds, after
deducting all expenses, I desire shall by them be equally divided
between my eleven children, or their heirs, namely:
Wessel ten Broeck, Elsje ten Broeck, wife of Johannes Cuyler ;
Catalyntjeten Broeck, wife of JohnLissger; Cornelia ten Broeck,
wife of Johannes Wynkoop ; Geertruy ten Broeck, wife of Abra-
ham Schuyler; Christyna ten Broeck, wife of Johannes Van
Alen; EHsabeth ten Broeck, wife of Antony Costar; Lidia ten
Broeck, wife of Volkert Van Vechten ; Samuel ten Broeck,
Johannes ten Broeck, Tobias ten Broeck, each to have one
just eleventh share.
V. After the death of my wife, I give to my eldest son Wes-
sel ten Broeck two-thirds of all my lands at Saratoga, in the
County of Albany ; and the other third I give to my daughter
Geertruy, wife of Abraham Schuyler. Said lands being the just
seventh part of the whole Saratoga patent, granted to me. Col.
Peter Schuyler, and others. I give this to my said eldest son,
and to my daughter Geertruy as above said, to wit: two-thirds
to the said Wessel ten Broeck and his heirs forever, provided
that these stretches of pasture-land shall be counted as ;^i2e„
New York currency, in the share of my said son Wessel ten
Broeck, in the estate which I shall have. And likewise the third
part given to my said daughter Geertruy shall be counted as
j£TS, New York currency; which said third part, I give to her.
32 The Will
and her heirs, as equivalent to the mentioned sum, forever, after
the death of my wife.
VI. Further, I give to my sons, Samuel ten Broeck and
Tobias ten Broeck, all my lands in the said Manor of Livingston,
according to the conveyance to me from Mr. Robert Living-
ston, to be divided into two equal parts, of which my son Tobias
shall first choose his half, and the other half shall go to my son
Samuel, and to their respective heirs forever. I also give to my
two sons, Samuel and Tobias aforesaid, four horses, four cows,
four sheep, four pigs; one of my negroes, to be selected by
them ; all farming utensils which then shall be found on my
bouwery, for which I will that my said sons shall each pay to
my said executors the sum of ;£i()o, New York currency, or
together ^380 ; provided that each of them may retain the
full share of his inheritance from said sum. If their share should
not amount to as much, then they add and pay to the adminis-
trators the difference. If their share amounts to more, then it
shall be paid to them out of the estate; but they shall not be
allowed to make a claim on the land here given to them, until
after the death of my said wife ; then they shall receive as their
own the land with houses, bams, brewery, and other privileges.
VII. After my wife's death, I give to my son Johannes ten
Broeck, my two houses and lots in the City of Albany; on the
north side of Yonkers [State) street, on the west side of Yaugh
{now James) street, on the east side of the house and lot of
Antony Costar, and on the south side of said Costar, according
to conveyance, to him and his heirs forever. I also give
to the said Johannes all my right and title in and to land on
the east side of Hudson's River, on a Kil called Kinderhoek
Kil, which is not sold yet ; according to the patents from Sir
Edmond Andros and Colonel Thomas Dongan, — to him, his
heirs and assigns forever: which houses and lots, and right and
title to land on Kinderhoek Kil I value at jQ2oo, New York
currency, and I will that so much shall be refunded to the
The Will 33
estate, after deducting as much as one-eleventh part of the whole
shall amount to, and the residue shall be paid to my executors for
the behoof of my other heirs ; and if his share is larger, then it
shall be paid to him by the administrators.
VIII. It is my wish and will, and I give all my other lands,
houses, and lots, excepting what as above I have given to my
said sons and daughter Geertruy, and all my negro slaves, cattle,
and other property of whatsoever nature it may be, after my
own and my wife's death, to my said eleven children, to be sold
to each, and the proceeds accumulated, which, with the sums
to be paid by my sons and daughter, shall then be equally
divided among my said eleven children, it being well understood
that my said sons and daughter Geertruy, shall not pay more
for their land, as appraised by me, than so much as it amounts
to, more than their eleventh part of my whole estate.
IX. It is further my wish and will, that none of my real estate
shall be sold to strangers, but it shall always remain in my
family.
X. It is my wish and will, that Christina Legget, when she
comes to marriageable age, shall have a good outfit.
All the above I declare to be my last Will, requesting that it
may have full effect in every way.
Thus done and concluded, at my Bouwery, in the Manor of
Livingston, and signed and sealed by my own hand this Fourth
of February, lyii.

Major Ten Broeck took steps to have assistance from
those she trusted in executing the expressed wishes and
will of her husband. She appointed her —
Loving sons, Wessel Ten Broeck, Johannis Ten Broeck, and
my son-in-law, Johannis Cuyler, all of the City of Albany, to
be my true and lawful and irrevokable Attorneys, rendering
account to me, when thereunto required; and after my decease,
unto the heirs of the said Dirck Wesselse Ten Broeck.

Anthony Costar.
She outlived her husband a little more than twelve
years. Doubtless Albany became again her home during
this time, and it was her choice to return to the more
familiar place, where she had known many happy years,
now the residence of her son Johannes. She died on the
twenty-fourth of November, 1729, and was interred in
the Dutch Church of Albany.
Her parents, Cornells Maessen Van Buren and Cata-
lyntje Martensen, came to the Colony from Guelderland,
Holland, in 1631, in the ship "Arms of Rensselaer-
wyck." They were probably from Buren, near which is
the castle of the Counts Buren. They hved on the Manor
of Rensselaerwyck, and died there in 1648, both being
buried on the same day. '^^
The present geographical situation of the Bouwerie of
Dirck W. Ten Broeck is in Columbia County, New York,
in the towns (townships) of Clermont and Livingston.
Ten Broeck Records 35
Columbia County was formed largely from Albany
County, in the year 1786.
Although the injunction " real estate shall always re-
main in the family " could not in every instance be ob-
served, yet it is a great satisfaction to note that parts of
each of these tracts are still the property of descendants.

THIRD GENERATION.
^
VESSEL TEN BROECK (6).
Wessel, the eldest child and son of Major Ten Broeck,
married a few days before he was twenty years of age
Caatje Loockermans, a maiden of fifteen, the daughter
of one of the early men of Albany. They resided in
what was called, in those days, the third ward of Al-
bany, and as a merchant and citizen he was active and
useful in both public and private life.
He first appears in a public capacity in that danger-
ous period of the change on England's throne, and the
uncertainty of authority in her colonies, when, on No-
vember the fifth, 1689, "forty of ye inhabitants, princi-
pal! men of ye town and county of Albany, agreed to
keep the Fort and City, for the behoofe of King William
and Queen Mary, . . . promising to assist, if occa-
sion required, for the preservation of Peace and Tran-
quility."
Beginning with January, 1695, he audited, for two
years, the deacon's books of the Dutch Church, and in
< 37
38 Lieutenant Wessel Ten Broeck
1697 he kept them, jointly, with Hendrick Van Rensse-
laer. ^^ He was present as a church ofificer and also as
a city magistrate, when Dr. Dellius, the pastor, owing
to the misunderstanding consequent upon the granting
of the famous Mohawk Patent, held his farewell inter-
view with the Indian converts ^^ in June, 1698.
He signed the petition of the Protestant subjects in
the colony to King William the Third,"*^ in December,
1 701. As a Deputy from the city and county of
Albany, he greeted Lord Cornbury on his arrival as
Governor- General in 1702, and was one of those to pre-
sent to him the address of allegiance and welcome.*^
Wessel Ten Broeck was an alderman of Albany at
the time his father served as mayor of the city ; he was
a member of the Indian Board during the conference
with the Five Nations, '^^ held in 1701, and almost con-
tinuously, for twenty-five years, he stood among the
men in whom the citizens reposed the public trust.
There was constant need for measures of defense in
those times, and when in 1700 Lord Bellomont prepared
the report of the miUtia, Wessel Ten Broeck was Lieu-
tenant of a company of foot soldiers under Colonel
Schuyler. ^^
He applied for a grant of land, and received the cer-
tificate in 1733. It was situated on the west side of the
Hudson River, and extended from the Kaaterskill to the
banks of the Hudson, about five miles south of Catskill.
He mentioned this tract in his will, which was dated
June the tenth, 1723, and recorded January the twenty-
ninth, 1753, in the Albany County Clerk's office, Volume
I., page 215.

THE BIBLE RECORD OF WESSEL TEN BROECK (6).
The Ten Broeck Bible 39
The family Bible of Wessel Ten Broeck is of great in-
terest; it is in Dutch, printed in 1682, at Dordrecht, Hol-
land. This illustration, and the one on page 150, will
give an idea of the size and appearance. Heavy boards,
covered with tooled leather, form the binding ; the cor-
ners are finished with brass pieces, and the book has
clasps of the same metal. Between the Old and New
Testaments are maps of Asia Minor and Egypt, and also
a drawing representing Paradise.
The records are found on the boards of the covers
and on the blank pages next to these, in both the front
and back of the volume. The writing is in Holland
Dutch, the earliest date being the marriage of Wessel to
" Cattryna Locermans," on the second of April, 1684.
The entries pertaining to his children and descendants
are very full.
The Bible is now the property of a lineal descendant
— Mr. Andrew J. Ten Broeck, of North Germantown,
Columbia County, New York.

in his Bible in the following entry: " 1709, December
16"*' I went with Colo. Schuyler to England, and re-
turned through the Grace of God, July 26"'' 17 10."

SAMUEL TEN BROECK (14).
Samuel, through the bequest of his father Dirck Wes-
selse Ten Broeck, inherited his portion of the estate in
lands that were part of the bouwerie on the Roelof
Jansen Kil, in the section where the Ten Broeck family
is one of the most ancient. It was here that he passed
the years of his life, and by his will made the twenty-
third of April, 1750, he devised the larger part of the
tract to his eldest son.
This property had formerly been divided between
Albany and Dutchess Counties, but by the Act of May
the twenty-fourth, 17 17, relating to certain grants on the
south of the Roelof Jansen Kil, it was all annexed to Al-
bany County, and remained thus until, in 1786, the lines
were once more changed, and it became part of the new
county of Columbia.
In a list of freeholders, made in 1720, "pursuant of
an order of Court," Samuel Ten Broeck is cited as " of
Claverack."^'' He was also justice of the peace for
Albany County.
He was married on November the seventh, 17 12, to
Maria Van Rensselaer, in the " two steeple " church of
Albany.
He and his younger brother Johannes married sisters,
the daughters of Hendrick Van Rensselaer and grand-
daughters of Johannes Van Brugh. They were of no-
table lineage in both branches, reaching back to the
Patroons of Rensselaerwyck, and to Anneke Jans, so
famous in New York litigation suits ; and through the
latter, descended from the ninth Prince of the House of
Samuel Ten Broeck 49

States of Holland and Zealand. '^'^

JOHANNES TEN BROECK (J7).
Johannes, the fifth son of Dirck Wesselse Ten Broeck
and Christina Van Buren, uras the son upon whom his
father depended in great confidence. His name alone,
among those of the family, can be found as v^^itness to
transfers of lands. ^^ To him was bequeathed the home
of his parents in Albany, the storehouse there, and the
title of merchant, in his father's stead.
He was married twice. The first wife, Elizabeth
Wendell, was a daughter of Johannes Wendell, and be-
longed to the well-known family of Albany. She lived
but a short time, and Johannes Ten Broeck married on
December the twenty-ninth, 17 14, Catryna, the second
daughter of Hendrick Van Rensselaer, Patroon of the
lower manor of Rensselaerwyck.
He was made assistant alderman in 17 15, and in the
list of freeholders, taken in 1720, he was of the first
ward of Albany. Three years later, in 1723, he was
an alderman, and one of His Majesty's justices of the
peace. ^
On September the ninth, 1726, when Governor Burnet
and the sachems of the Six Nations assembled in con-

ference in Albany, Johannes Ten Broeck was present
on the Board of City Officers. ^^
He continued to fill his place as representative of the
first ward of Albany until 1740, when he was appointed
city chamberlain or treasurer, ^^ which position he held
for three terms.
A picture of the times, as well as of the values of the
period, may be found in the following : The City Coun-
cil, in August, 1737, " agreed that Johannes Ten Broeck
be allowed twenty shillings to make a bridge in the
Yoncker Street, on the east side of the Well, opposite
Widow Livingston's."
About the time of his withdrawal from public life
there was recorded a deed, in part as follows : ^^ " Jo-
hannes Ten Broeck, of the city of Albany, and Catha-
rina, his wife, sell to Luykas Wyngaert, merchant of
Albany, for four hundred and twenty Pounds, two
Houses and two Lotts, in the First Ward of the City, on
the north side of Yonckers Street, bounded on the West
and North by the house and lott of Anthony Costar, and
to the East by the Lane ; the same property received by
the Will of Dirck Wesselse Ten Broeck, Father of the
said Johannes Ten Broeck," etc. The date of the paper
is the thirtieth of October, 1743.
Tradition affirms that Johannes Ten Broeck and Cath-
arine, his wife, came to New Brunswick, New Jersey, at
this time, in company with their third son, Johannes.
Their portraits, painted in 1720, are in possession of
a direct descendant in the sixth generation — Louis
Barcroft Runk, Esq., of Philadelphia.

TOBIAS TEN BROECK (J8).
Tobias, youngest of the children of Dirck Wesselse
Ten Broeck, outlived his father only a few years. Un-
fortunately, less is known of his descendants than of
those of the other sons. •
He was Lieutenant of the " Independent Companie
of Militia of Livingston Manor," ^^ mustered at the
manor house, November the thirtieth, 171 5 — a com-
pany seeing much actual service, and maintained during
all the succeeding colonial period.
He was appointed justice magistrate for Albany
County in 17 19. The year following, his name stood at
the head of the Claverack list of freeholders. ^*
Tobias Ten Broeck was married at the Albany Church
on October the twenty-fourth, 17 14, to Maritie Van
Stryen, and they resided at the bouwerie, on Roelof
Jansen's Kil. He inherited from his father one half of
the lands in this section, the will giving him the first
choice of location.

ANNA C TEN BROECK (19).
Anna Catharina, eldest child of Wessel (6), was born
in Albany, April the twenty-fifth, 1685. The baptism
is recorded under the same date ; the godparents being
her maternal grandmother Tryntje Lookermans, and the
grandfathers on both sides, Jacob Lookermans and Dirck
W. Ten Broeck.
She married, at the age of twenty-two, Anthony Van
Schaick, a descendant of the early colonist whose name
is familiar in New York annals.
They resided in Albany. Anthony Van Schaick died
in February, 1737, and was interred at Albany on the
fourth of that month. His wife, Anna Catharina, sur-
vived him six years.

JOI VIII DiRCK, baptized April 4, 1725.
DIRCK TEN BROECK (20).
It was a fitting choice that bestowed the distinctive
christian name, now so familiar in Albany annals, upon
the eldest son of this generation.
He was a merchant, and first came into prominence
in connection with the Indian traffic, which continued to
be of great importance. The municipal officers of the
Dirck Ten Broeck 57
city were empowered by Common Council on March
the second, 17 if, to encourage this trade, and to appoint
" a good and sufficient person to inspect all skins that
shall be offered for sale or shipped." Dirck Ten Broeck
received and accepted the appointment, for the revenue
of a halfpenny each skin. ^^
He was a freeholder in the third ward of Albany in
1720, and a deacon in the Dutch Church. On August
the third, that year, he, with the officers, petitioned for
an ** Act of Incorporation," under the title of The Re-
formed Protestant Dutch Church in Albany. ^^ One
week later, August the tenth, he conveyed by deed to
the church, " for perpetual use and ownership," a plot
of ground, which had been " late the occupancy of Dirck
Wesselse, and now used as a garden." This property
was situated on Pearl Street.
In July, 1722, Dirck Ten Broeck was an alderman of
Albany. He was appointed Commissioner of Indian
Affairs, and repeatedly, for fifteen years from 1728, he
heard and signed the many important petitions coming
before that Board.
On November the twenty-sixth, 1730, the intrigues
of the French with the Five Nations became so threaten-
ing that the commissioners appealed to Governor Mont-
gomerie. This paper also bears the signature of Dirck
Ten Broeck. ^'^
He became recorder of the city in 1728, and was
mayor from September the twenty-ninth, 1746, for three
terms, under Governor Clinton,
He married on November the twenty-sixth, 17 14,
Margarita Cuyler. The list of their children and the
8
58 Will of Dirck Ten Broeck
family alliances includes names which will attract the
attention of every intelligent reader.
The plate represents an " ooma," a piece of silver
which belonged to Dirck and Margarita Ten Broeck.
Their joint initials, in the style of marking then usual,
are on the inside rim of the cover. The name was de-
rived from the Dutch word " oom," signifying uncle, as
the article was a favorite gift of an uncle to either a niece
or nephew on the wedding day. It was used to sprinkle
the mixed cinnamon and sugar on hot wafHes. This sil-
ver is now owned by Mrs. S. Sidney Smith, of Argyle,
New York, whose husband was a descendant through
Catryna (102), the eldest child of the family.
Dirck Ten Broeck died on January the third, 175 1,
and on the seventh instant was interred in the Albany
church. His wife survived him thirty-two years, Hving
until she attained the age of ninety.
By his will, made July the first, 1748, and probated at
Albany May the third, 1768, he bequeathed "the Great
Dutch Bible, the Holland Gun, and the Clock " to his
son Abraham, who became the future General. He ap-
pointed his sons Abraham and Dirck, the executors.

Jacob Ten Broeck 6 1
Albany church by Dominie Lydius, a successor to Dr.
Godfrey DelHus. His sponsors were the maternal grand-
parents, Jacob and Marya (Tryntje) Loockermans.
He married first, on September the twenty-ninth,
1725, his cousin Christina Van Alen (54), and after her
death in 1753, took for his second wife Catrina Van
Benthuysen. The family of eleven children were by the
first marriage.
They resided upon part of the Ten Broeck Patent, on
the west side of the Hudson — land inherited from
Jacob's father, Wessel Ten Broeck (6).
The names of localities which appear in connection
with this branch of the family are unusual. The farm,
which was situated upon the Kaaterskil, was called
Lokeren — doubtless after the town by that name in
Belgium, northeast of Ghent, and brings to mind Brown-
ing's lines :
'T was moonset at starting ; but while we drew near
Lokeren, the cocks crew and twilight dawned clear.

Kaatsbaan, the name found in the data following, is
the site of a Dutch church established about 1732, and
is seven miles south of Catskill, on the Old King's Road.
The portrait of Jacob is owned by Mr, Andrew J.
Ten Broeck, of North Germantown, N. Y., the lineal
descendant in the fifth generation. It was evidently
painted about 1720, and the similarity to the portrait of
Johannes Ten Broeck (page 50) is very striking. They
are framed alike also — in the original black-enameled

these pictures is the same — that they were executed in
Holland, although we have no record of the voyage, in
either case.

CORNELIUS TEN BROECK (27).
Cornelius, the youngest child of Wessel Ten Broeck,
was a merchant, and a citizen of Albany. He married
on the eleventh of October, 1733, his first cousin, Maria
Cuyler, daughter of Elsie Ten Broeck and Johannes
Cuyler.
He was a member of the Council Board of the city,
and from 1762 till 1766 was particularly active.
In 1726 the Council had vested in the King of Eng-
land's name a large tract of land in western New York,
" for the protection of free Indian Rights and Trade."
Sir Jeffrey Amherst had disregarded this, and granted
to a company of men ten thousand acres of it. The lat-
ter had followed up the opportunity to monopolize the
Indian trade.
The merchants and men of Albany determined to
resist this interference. Accordingly, a petition was re-
sorted to, which bears date January the twenty-eighth,
1762, signed by the prominent men, begging that these
64 Cornelius Ten Broeck
grants in western New York might be annulled. ^^ Cor-
nelius Ten Broeck's name stands on this list.
Two years later, a second petition was issued to the
English Trade Commissioners, asking for the appoint-
ment of certain places or posts where the Indians could
be met for traffic. Again Cornelius Ten Broeck used
his influence for mutual safety and protection. °^
He requested permission to purchase a tract of land
from the Indian owners, in Albany County, on the south
side of the Mohawk River. In July, 1765, Sir WiUiam
Johnson signified this to be a botia fide purchase.
Cornelius Ten Broeck made his Will on March the
thirteenth, 1771. It was recorded in Albany the twenty-
ninth of April, 1773. Among its provisions he men-
tioned this grant, and devised it to his grandson, Corne-
lius Ten Broeck, Junior.

Dirck Wesselse Ten Broeck 65
He was married first, at Kinderhook, on the twenty-
eighth of June, 1743, to Catharina Conyn. She was the
mother of all his children. His second marriage took
place when he was about sixty years of age.
Dirck W. Ten Broeck was an unyielding patriot of
the Revolution, and several times represented the manor
of Livingston in the Provincial Assembly. The Assem-
bly of New York, under the first Constitution, was com-
posed of twenty-four members. They met at Kingston,
September the ninth, 1777, and the following month
were dispersed by the British troops. Dirck W. Ten
Broeck was a member of this session, as also of the sec-
ond, which was held at Poughkeepsie the year following.
He was continued the Representative^*' until 1783.
He was an intimate friend of the two Robert Living-
stons, lords of the upper and lower manors.
The bouwerie of his grandfather, Dirck Wesselse, with
its tract of twelve hundred acres on the Roelof Jansen
Kil, became his property, partly by inheritance from his
father and partly by purchase from the heirs of his
uncle, Tobias Ten Broeck.
He had a new dwelling erected on this estate, but
whether the old frame-house was entirely removed or
was left to form the rear extension to the new one, can-
not be positively known. The hipped roof and apparent
antiquity of the extension suggest the latter, and it is
borne out by the relative measurements. The new brick
house is forty-eight feet wide, and extends back twenty-
five feet to where it meets the frame portion. The latter
has a width of forty feet by a depth of thirty-one.
The frontispiece represents the place as it appears to-

day ; between the windows can be plainly seen the date
of building, 1762. This plate is from a silhouette exe-
cuted by Albertina (140), the daughter of Dirck W. Ten
Broeck, and gives a quaint picture of the house and
barns more than one hundred years ago.
This dwelling, with part of the original tract of land,
is still in the possession of a lineal descendant, Mrs.
Harold Wilson, of Clermont, New York.
Tradition says the bricks were brought from Holland.
An ancient brass knocker adorns the door, on opening
which we find the house as the period of building sug-
gests — a wide hallway, with spacious rooms on either
side. Up to the roof itself can be seen the firm, sub-
stantial material and workmanship which the passing of
four generations has not impaired. The heavy timbers
are of hand-hewed oak, and each piece bears the Roman
number denoting its place in the structure ; and strange
to our modern sight are the oaken pins which hold each
crossbeam and brace in position. At either end, high
up toward the hipped roof, are the port-holes, which
were used in the every-day emergencies of that time.
The house stands on a slight rise of ground above the
banks of the clear water of the Kil. It overlooks the
quiet, green meadows, or " flatts," which are an impor-
tant part of the fertile and beautiful lands comprising the
estate.
Dirck W. Ten Broeck died at his bouwerie, and was
interred in the place of family burial. Near this was the
space allotted to the slaves, and they were a goodly
retinue for even those times.

near the public highway, is pointed out the racecourse,
where the Ten Broecks and the Livingstons found their
chief recreation. None had a better eye for the points
of a fine horse, and the best were sure to be found in
their stables.
The records of this family are found in the Dutch Bible
now owned by a descendant, — Mrs. Charles P. Sanders,
of Scotia, N. Y. The plate represents the title-page.
The book was printed in Dordrecht in the year 1719.
It is one of those heavy folio volumes bound in boards,
covered with tooled leather, and finished with corner-
pieces and clasps of brass. It contains marginal refer-
ences and footnotes ; numerous plates, engraved by
Jonkman, illustrative of gospel scenes, are fitted, block-
like, to cover full pages ; each one is small, — about three
inches square, — and they are both quaint and amusing.

CHRISTINA TEN BROECK (74).
Christina, the youngest child of Samuel Ten Broeck
(14) became the wife of Harmanus Schuyler on the
fourth of September, 1754.
He v(^as at that time a jeweler in Albany, and held
the position of constable. He soon became assistant
alderman, followed, in June, 1761, by the appointment
as sheriff of Albany County. He held this office until
1770, when he removed with his family to Stillwater.
In February, 1776, he was made Assistant Deputy
Commissary- General of the Northern Department, and
was stationed at Lake George, in charge of men engaged
in building boats for the use of the Army. He finally
"^shington^s Visit 73
retired from the service, and died at Stillwater on Sep-
tember the first, 1796.
His wife Christina and seven children survived him.
The sons followed the father's example in devoting
their services to the country. The eldest, Nicholas (166)
became a surgeon; the second, Samuel (167) was a
clerk in the Commissary Department ; and Dirck (169)
became Second Lieutenant in one of the companies of
the New York line.
The distinction of entertaining Washington fell to the
lot of Christina's eldest daughter, Elsie, She was a
woman of more than ordinary beauty of person, digni-
fied in manner, and self-possessed.
In July, 1783, General Washington, escorted by Gov-
ernor Clinton and General Schuyler, was on a tour of
inspection of the battlefields of Saratoga and the Mo-
hawk Valley. On their arrival at Stillwater they sought
entertainment at the Schuyler-Ten Broeck residence.
Christina was absent from home, and upon her
daughter devolved the honor of receiving the General
as a guest. The party remained overnight, and when
the hour for departure arrived, Washington, with his hab-
itual courtesy, took Elsie's hand and raised it to his lips.
This was never forgotten. Nearly fifty years later,
when her youngest nephew called to pay his respects,
and was about to kiss her lips, she held up her hand and
said: "Not my lips, George, but my hand, once kissed
by Washington ! " ^^ Elsie Schuyler was at that time the
bride of Dr. Nicholas N. Bogart, who died within a few
weeks. Some years later she married Major James Van
Rensselaer of Albany.

ston.
Petrus Ten Broeck was a citizen of Rhinebeck, and
upon the opening of the Revolution at once took an
active part. He was commissioned Colonel of the Rhine-
beck militia, and chosen deputy to the Provincial Con-
gress of November, 1775. He was also Secretary of the
Committee of War, "^^ and later bore the title of General.
His death occurred on March the fifth, 1777. His
wife survived him five years. Their Wills are on file in

JOHANNES TEN BROECK (78).
Johannes was born at Albany, September, 17 19, and
soon after attaining the age of manhood he came to East
New Jersey.
Through the influence of the Dutch from the upper
Hudson, New Brunswick had been incorporated in 1730.
The Indian pathway from the Delaware River to the sea
had become the king's highway, and an outlet for the
commerce of the region. Three miles above the town,
at the head of the sloop-navigation waters of the Raritan
River, was a station known as Raritan Landing, which
was described as " a market for the most plentiful wheat
country of its bigness in America." Here Johannes,

either for himself or in company with his parents, pur-
chased a tract of land.
In 1748 lotteries were numerous in New Jersey ; there
was scarcely a town that did not seek to enrich itself by
such means. The objects were various — to complete a
church, to erect a parsonage, or to relieve distress, pub-
lic or private. In this year Johannes Ten Broeck ad-
vertised a lottery at Raritan Landing, and offered his
real estate as the prizes.^'^ However the scheme suc-
ceeded, Johannes retained over two hundred and twenty-
five acres of the land, and it became the family home for
three generations.
He had married on the thirtieth of January, 1746,
Patientie (Patience), the eldest child of William William-
son, who was a citizen of prominence and also a Church-
master of the Dutch Church of New Brunswick. They
resided on the farm at Raritan Landing.
Those were unquiet times, and the last colonial war,
the one which ended the rule of France in the colonies,
was declared in 1756. Between 1758 and 1761 the New
Jersey Assembly increased its quota of fighting men
from five hundred to one thousand. This force was de-
tailed to " remove the enemy from the frontier." In
addition to this, Johannes Ten Broeck raised a company,
which consisted of sixty-one men and three officers. He
was commissioned the Captain on the seventh of April,
1761.
The troops of this section were called "Jersey Blues."
The name is said to be due to the fact that a certain
volunteer company were furnished with " tow frocks and
pantaloons dyed blue " by the patriotic women. Is it a
78 Fort Ontario
marvel that they proved singularly efficient in the days
of trial ?
The company of Johannes Ten Broeck was incorpo-
rated into Colonel Samuel Hunt's regiment of Jersey
Blues, and was reserved for special garrison duty.^^
Fort Oswego, the natural gateway between the enemy
in Canada and the colonies, had been reinforced in 1755
by the erection of Fort Ontario on the east side of Onon-
daga River. This was built by Governor Shirley as a
defense against the attacks and advances of the French
and Indians.
Johannes Ten Broeck and his company " embarked "
for this point on the fourth of June, 1761. They were
on duty in this fort sixteen months, and doubtless con-
tinued in the service until the definite treaty was con-
cluded at Paris in February, 1763. In accordance with
the proclamation of this year (1763), Captain Ten Broeck
received a grant of three thousand acres of land, in rec-
ognition of his services. The confirmation of the grant
was never sought.
His pay-rolls are in the possession of Mr. Frank La
Rue Ten Broeck, of Asbury Park, N. J. They each bear
upon the face the date, month by month, and the names
of the men comprising the company, noting the changes
which occur and the amount due each one for service.
On the reverse is found the signatures of the men, upon
receipt of the monthly payment, and also the date at
which the examining committee certified the correctness
of the paper.

follow his example in simplifying the spelling of the last
word.

CORNELIS TEN BROECK (83).
Cornelis, the sixth son of Johannes Ten Broeck and
Catryna Van Rensselaer, was born at Albany the four-
teenth of May, 1727.
It seems not improbable that in early manhood he
came to New Jersey, as he married Maria Bodyn, whose
parents in both branches were Huguenots and New
Jersey settlers. After their marriage they resided at
Claverack and Kinderhook, and the baptisms of most of
their children are recorded at the Claverack Dutch
Church.
It is almost impossible for us to realize the dangers and
II
82 Cornells Ten Broeck
troubles occasioned in colonial days by the disputes over
both public and private divisions of lands. History traces
for us the progress of the long and bitter feud regarding
the boundary between Massachusetts and New York.
In the section of country familiar to our ancestors, dis-
satisfaction was chiefly due to two causes, the persistence
of certain men from Massachusetts who claimed parts of
the Livingston manor, and to the exaction of quit rents.
These rents were the conditioned stipulations of grants
of land from the Governor, an acknowledgment, so to
speak, of his rights as grantor. Large tracts upon
which arrears of quit rents had accumulated were sold
from time to time to satisfy these claims.
Riots were the outgrowth of these grievances, and
frequently the magistrates and local militia were com-
pelled to subdue them. In such an affray, on the twenty-
sixth of June, 1766, it is believed that Cornehs Ten
Broeck met his death. '^^
The following record of the children's births and bap-
tisms is in possession of Mrs. Robert Dunscombe Swart-

JOHN TOBIAS TEN BROECK (92).
He was born at the bouwerie on the Roelof Jansen Kil,
on the seventeenth of October, 1722. Fifteen months
later his father died, and in a few years his mother had
married a second time. These events, doubtless, sepa-
rated the family from the Ten Broecks.
When John Tobias became of age, as the heir-at-law
and devisee of his father he sold his equal one-half por-
tion of the eighteen hundred acres of the bouwerie to
his cousin Dirck W. Ten Broeck (68), for the sum of
three thousand Spanish milled dollars. The papers bear
the date of the seventh of December, 1743.
84 John Tobias Ten Broeck
It is said he then removed to New Jersey. On the
fifteenth of August, 1745, he married Elizabeth Oothout,
of New York City. They had a family of twelve chil-
dren, but the only two sons died before reaching the age
of twelve years. Thus the family name in this line ter-
minated in this generation.

CATRYNA TEN BROECK (102).
Catryna was baptized at Albany on the fourth of Sep-
tember, 171 5, when three days old. We are fortunate
in having a copy of her portrait in childhood. The orig-
inal is in the possession of Miss Katharine Livingston
Smith, of Argyle, New York — a lineal descendant
through her daughter, Catharine (220). In the left-
hand corner of the canvas there is inscribed in red
letters :
JETATf Sua.
3 YEARS.
I7I9.
One would never imagine it to be
the likeness of a child of only that
age. The description of Holmes's
"Dorothy Q" fits our httle maid
wonderfully well :
Grandmother's mother : her age, I guess,
Thirteen summers, or something less ;
Girlish bust, but womanly air;
Smooth, square forehead, with uprolled hair ;
8s
86 Catryna Ten Broeck Livingston
Lips that never a lover has kissed ;
Taper fingers, and slender wrist ;
Hanging sleeves of stiff brocade —
So they painted the little maid.
On her hand a parrot green
Sits unmoved and broods serene.
Look not on her with eyes of scorn ;
Dorothy Q was a lady bom !
One thinks of her maidenhood as full of manifold and
varied duties and pleasures, for she was the eldest of a
family of twelve children. At the age of twenty-four
she became the wife of John Livingston, of Albany, the
third son of Robert Livingston and Margarita Schuyler.
She shared with him the varied experiences of more than
fifty years of married life.
They resided for a time in Montreal, Canada, but when
the Revolution commenced they removed to Stillwater,
New York. They had probably both inherited portions
of the Saratoga Patent, and thus it became their perma-
nent home from this time. On the fifth of March, 1784,
Catryna received from her husband the " Power of At-
torney for all Saratoga lands devised to her by her
father, Dirck Ten Broeck, or her brother, Dirck Ten
Broeck ; and all or any claim in a patent called Loker-
mans."^*^
John Livingston died at Stillwater, in 1791, and his
wife then returned to Albany, and found a home with
her daughter, Catharine (220), the wife of Dr. EHas
Willard. She was here shown every considerate kindness
due the aged parent.

The Fifth Generation 87
It is said Catryna never spoke the English language.
A description of the ceremonious visits the children of
the family paid their grandmother is still repeated among
the descendants. On New Year's, the only day of the
year on which the grandchildren were permitted to visit
her apartments, they came with the greatest delight,
mingled with awe. The low curtsey was made, and
their greetings spoken in Dutch taught them for the
occasion !
Catryna died at her daughter's house on Broadway,
Albany, April the sixth, 1801.
Her ancient Dutch Bible and Psalm Book are now the
property of Mrs. Israel Smith, of Williamsburg, Va.
The former was purchased on the twentieth of Novem-
ber, 1728, according to the inscription, but it contains
no records. The Psalm Book was printed in 1725, and
probably belonged to her father, as on the final page is
written, " Dirck Ten Broeck, syn Boock, 1732." Her
own name is on the cover of the book, in this form :

bany, was born on the thirtieth of December, 17 18.
On the fourteenth of April, 1740, she married Philip
Livingston, who was a cousin to John Livingston, the
husband of her eldest sister.
Philip Livingston was born at Albany January the
Christina Ten Broeck Livingston 89
fifteenth, 171 6. He was graduated from Yale College
in 1737, and after his marriage resided in New York
City. He was an alderman for several years, and in
1759 was elected member of the Provincial Assembly.
This was the opening of a career that was at the same
time illustrious and honorable. His position in the Con-
tinental Congress and his signature to the Declaration
of Independence would, of themselves, make his name
widely known.
He died at York, Pennsylvania, on June the twelfth,
1778, where Congress was then assembled. Christina,
his honored wife for nearly forty years, survived him,
and died in Albany, June the twenty-ninth, 1801. Her
will was made on April the twenty-fourth, 1800, and
recorded in Albany County in November, 1801.
A portrait of Christina Ten Broeck, painted in her
second year, hangs in the hallway of the Van Rensselaer
mansion at Greenbush, N. Y. A second portrait was
painted when growth of character and wideness of ex-
perience had changed the expression of the round baby
face, and the child had become the wife of a distinguished
man. This is in the possession of Mrs. Crosby, of New
York City, who is also a descendant.

ABRAHAM TEN BROECK (HJ).
This man, who performed great services for the col-
ony and became of such note in the country, w^as the
tenth of a family of twelve children.
He was born the thirteenth of May, 1734, and bap-
tized when six days old, in the church of his ances-
tors, — the Reformed Church of America, — his sponsors
being his eldest sister, Catryna (102), and his maternal
92 Early Life
grandfather, Abraham Cuyler. His early life was passed
in Albany, his native city ; he was then sent to New
York, and educated as a merchant in the counting-room
of Philip Livingston, who had married his sister Chris-
tina (104), and whose name is famous as a signer of the
Declaration of Independence.
On the completion of his mercantile education he
made a tour of the Eastern provinces, and immediately
thereafter returned to his native city to establish himself
in business.
He married the first of November, 1763, Elizabeth,
the only daughter of Stephen Van Rensselaer, Patroon
of Rensselaerwyck. At the death of the latter, Abra-
ham Ten Broeck was chosen trustee of the estate during
the minority of the boy patroon. For sixteen years he
superintended the vast property with great ability, so
that he was enabled to deliver it into the hands of its
next proprietor in an improved condition.
His first call to public duty came when he was chosen
a member of the Colonial Assembly in 1761, where he
represented the manor of Rensselaerwyck. In this posi-
tion he used his influence in favor of popular rights,*^'^
until the opening of the Revolutionary struggle in 1775.
He was found among the militia at the beginning of
the war, and on March the twenty-first, 1775, was elected
by the Committee of Correspondence to represent the
city and county of Albany at the Provincial Convention
to be assembled in New York City the twentieth of
April.^^ At this Convention he was appointed a dele-
gate to the Continental Congress, to be held in Philadel-
phia the following month.

General Abraham Ten Broeck 93
A notable resolution which these delegates adopted
during the Congress of May, 1775, and which the signa-
ture of Abraham Ten Broeck indorsed, is as follows : —
"To oppose the arbitrary and oppressive measures of
the British Parliament, and to preserve Peace, Order,
and Safety." This Congress also ordered a Committee
of Safety, of which Abraham Ten Broeck was made a
member, to " report an arrangement of the Troops to be
embodyed for the defence of this Colony."
The officers for the third regiment of the first bat-
talion of Rensselaerwyck were elected on August the
twenty-sixth, and the commissions issued October twen-
tieth, 177s, Abraham Ten Broeck being named Colonel
Commandant.''®
Early in the year 1776 he was made General, and in
February was ordered, with the members of his Com-
mittee, to revise the Militia Law, and to prepare a Draft
of Instructions for the Committee of War.^*' Can we not
feel the quickened pulse and see the stress of danger in
these rapidly repeated orders ?
Before many months elapsed he received the position
of Brigadier-General; thus was he placed in command
of all militia in Dutchess and Ulster counties, and to the
north and west of those boundaries.
During this year he was made President of the New
York Convention of Representatives, and in December,
1776, this body decided to revive the Committee of
Safety, of which he was also chosen President.'^^
John Hancock, President of the General Congress of
Philadelphia, wrote to this Committee from Baltimore,
February the twenty-fifth, 1777, asking for militia to
94 Letter to General Hancock
reinforce General Washington's army, particularly to
protect the passes in the Highlands. The following is
General Ten Broeck's reply :
Mr. Hancock, President :
Sir:
Your favor of the 25* of February I have had the Honor of
receiving and laying before the Convention, It is earnestly
wished that the Army under the more immediate command of
General Washington was augmented to the number intended
by Congress; and that it was in the power of this State to sta-
tion a competent force in the Highlands and West Chester
County, to defend the Passes and protect the Inhabitants from
the insults of the Enemy.
This State, Sir, has cheerfully sustained Burthens during the
Summer and Winter Champaigns, far beyond her strength. Her
losses of Men and Labour are severely felt, and the incessant
calls upon the Militia have become a Greviance which is no
longer tolerable.
The Convention flattered themselves that the large army
provided for the Defence of the United States would have
rendered their Services, except on very urgent and Sudden Emer-
gencies, unneccessary, and have given Repose to the Husband-
man and the Artificer. It is therefore with equal Pain and
Disappointment that the Convention views the Resolution of
the honorable Congress to draw all the Continental Battalions
raised in this State, to the Westward, and to leave our Militia
to the accumulated Charge of garrisoning the Passes and of
defending the Country against the Inroads and Ravages of the
Enemy, who from Fort Independence and Kings bridge con-
tinue to carry on a predatory war, to captivate and carry off
our best friends, destroy their effects, and beat off the feeble
Guards which we are able to maintain. No less than sixty of
Battle of Saratoga 95
our Rangers, surprised by a Superior Force, fell into their Hands
this week; besides the Chairman of the County Committee
and several of his Friends and Family.
What, Sir, under these circumstances must be the Feelings of
our Inhabitants should their Quota of the Continental Troops
according to the Proposition, be drawn off from their Assistance,
at a time too, when it is generally expected that a more vigor-
ous attack will be made upon the exposed Frontiers of this
State.
I am directed, Sir, to call your attention to the repeated Ex-
ertions of our Militia.
This letter is only one of an important correspond-
ence, and Abraham Ten Broeck was as wise in active
service as in deliberation.
When Burgoyne was defeated at Saratoga, in October,
1777, it is said " the bravest men of Albany County were
there under General Ten Broeck"; and a second ac-
count gives the following :
General Enoch Poor, with his New Hampshire men, and
General Abraham Ten Broeck with three thousand New York-
ers, faced unmoved the cannon and grape-shot with which they
were greeted, as, emerging from the wood, they fell fiercely
upon the British left. The dash and courage of the Americans
amazed and appalled the haughty Britons. They poured a
deadly fire upon each flank, then closed, and grappling hand-
to-hand, the mad mass swayed to and fro for half an hour, five
times taking and retaking a single gun.
In another description of the Battle of Bemis Heights
we read :
96 Civil Honors
Fraser fell, mortally wounded, in this assault, and swiftly
behind the half-crazy volunteers came Ten Broeck with a force
nearly double that of the whole British line. That line was now
in full retreat."^^
General Ten Broeck was an intimate and beloved
friend of General Washington, and was selected by him
as his special companion on several important expedi-
tions. On the evacuation of New York by the British,
he was one of the Council appointed to receive posses-
sion.
He resigned the position of Brigadier-General on
March the twenty-sixth, 1781, evidently not to retire
from the duty of a servant and leader of his people, but
that he might the more faithfully discharge his duty.'^^
Two weeks previous to this the governor, George
Clinton, had appointed him the first Judge of the Court
of Common Pleas. "^^ For a term of thirteen years he
presided with great ability and distinction.
He was mayor of the city of Albany from Michael-
mas, 1779, to 1783, and again from 1796 to 1799, and a
member of the State Senate 1780 to 1783.
He was the first President of the Bank of Albany, and
held the office from 1792 till 1799, when he declined a
reelection. At this time the directors, as a mark of
esteem, had his portrait painted for their counting-house.
It represents him in the act of signing bank bills. From
it has been reproduced the illustration here given.
The story of the original is as follows : At a sale of
the assets of the bank, Mr. Thomas Worth Olcott pur-
chased the painting and removed it to adorn the wall of

Albany Residence 97
the Ten Broeck mansion in Albany, which he at that time
owned, and where he resided. Upon his death the por-
trait became the property of his son, Mr. Frederick P.
Olcott. The latter presented it to the city, as an addi-
tion to the valuable collection of portraits of the mayors
of Albany ; it now hangs in the Council Chamber of the
new City Hall.
General Ten Broeck's residence formerly stood at
Broadway and Columbia streets, Albany, looking south
and stretching across Broadway. It was destroyed by
the great fire of 1797. In order to insure his home
against future conflagrations, he purchased a tract of land
quite above and outside the thickly-settled portion of
the city, had bricks imported from Holland, and erected
the house that is now in as good condition as when he
removed to it. It stands on Ten Broeck Street, in
grounds that occupy the square block ; facing the east,
the entrance is from Ten Broeck Place.
The view here given is of the southeast front of the
mansion. High on the south end can be seen the iron
figures, " 1798," as the General had them placed at the
time of building. On the north end are the
. ^' „ letters (his wife's name being Elizabeth), in
Colonial ornamental script. Entering the
house, we find ourselves in a spacious hall, through
which one passes to reach the winding stairway. A
few steps further leads to the hall-door of the west en-
trance ; here is seen a fine example of the Dutch stoop,
the roof being supported by Doric columns and the sides
inclosed by massive lattice.
Abraham Ten Broeck had lived and died a devout

and consistent member of the Dutch Church. His death
occurred on the nineteenth of January, 1810. He was
buried with miHtary honors, and added to this was the
greater tribute of personal affection and respect attested
by the large concourse of citizens.
His will, made on the twenty-seventh of March, 1809,
was recorded the third of February, 18 10, at Albany.

DIRCK TEN BROECK (113).
The youngest child of Dirck Ten Broeck (20) and
Margarita Cuyler was born the twenty-sixth of July,
Colonel Dirck Ten Broeck 99
1738. He was named for his father, and became a mer-
chant in his native city. He married on November the
twenty-fifth, 1761, Ann Douw. There is no record of
children, but Richard Ten Broeck, mentioned at the end
of the seventh generation, may have been a descendant.
Dirck Ten Broeck was appointed a fire-master of
Albany in 1769, and was active in the interests of the
city and colony from this time until his death. '^^
When the commissions were issued on the twentieth
of October, 1775, he was appointed Lieutenant-Colonel
of the First Regiment of the City of Albany. He was
also Commissioner of the Continental Loan Office, but
was compelled to resign in the year 1779 on account of
ill health.^«
On the third of March, 1780, he resigned his position
of Commander of the City Troop, and died the twenty-
ninth day of May following, having only reached the age
of forty-two.
His will, made in 1765, was probated in Albany June
the twenty-sixth, 1780. He left all his estate, real and
personal, to his wife, but in the event of her remarrying
there was a reservation in favor of his own brother
Abraham and sisters.

marriage he was allied to the most influential Germans
in the Mohawk Valley, as his wife was a sister of Gen-
eral Nicholas Herkimer, of Revolutionary fame.
The residence was in Montgomery County, N. Y., as
the names and dates of baptism of several of his children
stand on the register of the church at Stone Arabia. His
name is entered as Major Petrus Ten Broeck at the
baptism of the third son, in 1771, showing his standing
in the militia at that date.
Under date of October, 1776, he is unfortunately found
associated with Johan Jost Schuyler in the following :
" Peter Ten Broeck, of the Fall Kill, joined the enemy.
He, with Han Yost Schuyler and about twelve others,
went to Oswego, hoping to meet the enemy there." '^'^
A shade more light is thrown on this event by a letter
to General Schuyler, which relates how, " After a con-
sultation at Canajoharie Castle among the Indians and
Tories, they absconded to the enemy."
It is doubtful if this plan carried, as Schuyler and
others, to the number of twenty-eight, were captured.
Major Ten Broeck probably even found a way to avoid
being a refugee, as on January the tenth, 1780, he pre-
Major Petrus Ten Broeck loi
sented his youngest child for baptism at the Germantown
Church, Columbia County.
These few unconnected facts regarding the life of Petrus
Ten Broeck leave many unsolved problems in their wake,
and trace of his children, beyond the following list,
cannot be found.

JOHANNES TEN BROECK (J34).
Johannes, the only son of Cornelis Ten Broeck (27)
and Maria Cuyler, was born the twenty-seventh of July,
1740. He was a merchant in Albany, and immediately
104 Johannes Ten Broeck
upon his majority, his name appears in connection with
municipal affairs.
He was a member of Common Council in 1766. In
September, 1773, he was a loyal candidate for alderman
from the third ward ; he was elected, but owing to bit-
ter partizanship his seat was contested. Only after a
warm dispute was he allowed to occupy the position. '^^
As a magistrate of Albany he took part in the deci-
sions, and signed the deed whereby, the city gave a new
title to the Indians for the Tiononderoga Patent, thus
carrying out the wish and intent of his father and other
merchants of Albany, as expressed by petition twenty
years earlier.
The measures of defense resorted to in 1775 in prepa-
ration for the Revolution were partly under his super-
vision, because of his position as a public officer. In
addition, he was chosen member of the " Committee of
Safety," and delegated to cooperate with General Schuy-
ler in devising and executing the most effective measures
for repelling the enemy on the northern and western
frontiers. "^^ His faithfulness as a member of this com-
mittee is attested by his constant attendance on all the
numerous meetings of the organization. He was a dele-
gate to the third and fourth Provincial Congresses. He
served Albany County as sheriff in 1781 and 1786, and
was a member of the House of Assembly in 1792.^^
He had married, on the twelfth of June, 1762, Sara
Gansevoort, of Albany. To them were born eleven chil-
dren, eight of whom died unmarried, some in childhood
and others in middle age. His wife died in 181 1, and his
death occurred on the twenty-sixth of December, 1822.

SAMUEL TEN BROECK (J35).
Samuel, the eldest child of Dirck Wesselse Ten Broeck
(68), was born at the Roelof Jansen Kil homestead on
the twenty-seventh of September, 1745 ; his paternal
grandparents were sponsors at his baptism, as recorded
in the family Bible. On the leaves of the same record
is found his own entry of his marriage on the twelfth of
August, 1768, to " Emitie Van Alsteyn."
He was in the full vigor of manhood when the clouds
of war with England settled over the colonies, and at
once he appeared as a representative of his district. He
assisted in the choice of the delegate from Albany
County to the Provincial Congress, which met in New
York in May, 1775, and when the commissions were is-
sued in October following, he was appointed Second
Major of Colonel Peter R. Livingston's Regiment, the
Tenth of the New York Mihtia.^^
He was commissary for his district, and superintended
the sending of supplies furnished by the farmers to
Barrytown, at which point they were available for ship-
ment.
In this section there was established a system of vigi-
lance known as "The Night Watch," for protection
against the Tories and secret enemies of the colonists.
The following account is taken from the fragment of an
old book which contained a journal of their proceed-
ings : ^^
That the night watch shall consist of eighty-four men, to be
divided into seven sub-divisions. That twelve men be the guard

for each night, exclusive of the officers. That the night watch
be kept at Samuel Ten Broeck's, and shall consist of twenty-
eight men, which number is to be divided into seven companies.
We are thus shown how his home became the center
of interest as well as a place of defense.
After the close of the war, the laws of the State pro-
vided for a National Guard. Samuel Ten Broeck was
then appointed General of Militia, and was thereafter
called by this title. As a citizen he was much esteemed
for his benevolence and high character.
He was elected member of Assembly from Albany
County in 1781, and for two terms he filled this position
with general acceptance. *^^
He built a substantial, handsome house upon land
which was part of the original Ten Broeck bouwerie ;
the time of completion is approximately known by the
lettering upon the massive wrought-iron fire-back,
which bears the initials of himself and wife in this
fashion : The wide hallway customary at this period
forms an imposing, spacious room ; the slender
1 77'^ o J-
' ' -^ Colonial balustrade of mahogany and the
stairway are of unique style ; but the most
curious and interesting are the heavy oaken
timbers and beams which support the hipped-roof
Within a few years after building. General Henry
Livingstone purchased this place and gave it the name
of " Calendar House," after family estates in Scotland,
which name it still bears. Samuel Ten Broeck then re-
turned to the homestead on the Roelof Jansen Kil.
His portrait, painted in 1832, together with the cane,
lo8 Closing Years
is in possession of his grand-niece, Mrs. Albertina S.
Mynderse, of Schenectady, N. Y. The sword shown,
crossed with the cane, was the one used by the General
during the Revolution. His seal is owned by his grand-
nephew, Mr. Walter T. L. Ten Broeck, Rhinebeck, N. Y.
General Ten Broeck had no descendants. His wife
lived until their married years had numbered sixty-six.
The inscription which marks her resting-place reads :
In memory of Emma Ten Broeck, who died June 24, 1834,
aged 84 years, 8 mos. and 13 days.
In faith she died, in dust she lies ;
But faith foresees that dust shall rise
When Christ, with His Almighty word,
Calls his dead saints to meet their Lord,
Seven years later her husband was buried by her side
in the Ten Broeck family lot, and the stone marking the
spot bears the story of his life in these words :
In memory of Samuel Ten Broeck, who died May 30, 1841,
aged 95 years, 7 months and 22 days.
His usefulness in Church and State
Was early known to men.
Blest with an active life till late
And happy in his end.
LEONARD TEN BROECK (137).
He was one of the foremost men among the Ten
Broecks of the Livingston Manor district to bear arms
in the struggle for Independence.

Lieutenant Leonard Ten Broeck 109
In the earliest arrangement of troops Leonard Ten
Broeck was a First Lieutenant in the Albany County
Regiment. In October, 1775, his commission confirmed
this rank, placing him in command of the First Com-
pany. The regiment was then called the Tenth of the
New York MiHtia.*^* In the report of the Committee on
Arrangement of Regiments in 1777, he was reported
and approved as still serving in the same rank.
He fought bravely throughout the perilous days, and
his gallantry at the taking of Burgoyne is a matter of
history.
It appears that threads of love were woven in this
strand of patriotism, for on the seventh of March, 1776,
was issued his marriage license with Gertrude, the
daughter of Jacob Schermerhorn. Four sons and four
daughters were born to them.
Leonard Ten Broeck was a man who commanded high
respect and confidence, and as his life rounded out to more
than four-score years, he seemed by reason of his age to
be the connecting link between two centuries of history.
His death occurred two years before that of his wife.
They were laid side by side in the little burying-ground
at the Ten Broeck homestead on Roelof Jansen's Kil,
where others of the family had been interred before.
His memorial was written thus :
Leonard Ten Broeck,
who died November 11, 1836, aged 84 years and i day.
This spot contains the ashes of the just,
Who sought no honours and betray'd no trust.
This truth he prov'd in every path he trod,
" An honest man 's the noblest work of God."

The lettering on his wife's stone reads,
In memory of Gertrude Ten Broeck, wife of Leonard Ten
Broeck,
Who died September 2, 1838,
aged 82 years 10 months and 19 days.

When death has quenched the vital fire ;
For life immortal from the grave
Shall spring through Him who died to save.

ALBERTINA TEN BROECK (140).
Albertina was born at the bouwerie, on the Roelof Jan-
sen Kil, on November the twenty-third, 1760, and was
married there in 1799.
The former date suggests that she was born before
the house erected by Major Dirck Wesselse Ten Broeck
(3) had given place to the present one, which was built
by his grandson. This suggestion seems to meet with
confirmation from the fact that Albertina executed two
silhouettes of the place (see pages 26 and 66) in which
the houses differed, although the scene was similar.
Together with the pictures have descended their tra-
ditional titles. According to these, the one with the
cornucopia represents the house of Major Ten Broeck,
built in the early days of the eighteenth century ; the
other gives the family arms for the center, and below
are the house and barns built by her father, in 1762,
and familiar to Albertina as she grew into womanhood.
Underneath the second silhouette can be read the
words, " Welcome every Friendly Guest," which set
forth the spirit of hospitality for which the name of Ten
Broeck has always stood synonymous.
It is said Albertina Ten Broeck injured her eyesight
in making these pictures, which are cut with the most
minute care.
1 1 2 Albertina Ten Broeck Sanders
She married John Sanders, of Scotia. He had served
among the Minute Men of 1777, when, under com-
mand of Captain Fonda, they compelled the surrender
of "Johnson Hall." He was Senator under the first
Constitution of New York, from 1799 till 1802, inclu-
sive; a member of the Council of Correspondence in
1800, and also a member of the convention to form the
second Constitution, adopted in 1822,^^
Judge Sanders was a gentleman of the old school. In
his dress he adhered to the customs of the last century
— small-clothes, silk stockings, and shoes with silver
buckles. His was a manner full of kindHness and hos-
pitable friendliness, but he was withal noted for his
dignity, resolution, and courage.
Scotia was the title of the estates of the family. By
the marriage of John Sanders, Senior, to Deborah Glen,
in 1739, this large estate, belonging until then to the
Glens, was merged into the Sanders name, and the joint
Glen and Sanders line.
The house at Scotia, to which John Sanders, Junior,
took his bride, Albertina Ten Broeck, had been built by
John A. Glen in 17 13, on the left bank of the Mohawk
River, about three quarters of a mile above Schenec-
tady. It had been rendered defensible during the French
wars, and must have been in the path of many stirring
and warHke expeditions.
Albertina and John Sanders passed the happy years
of a long married life here, and are buried almost within
its shadow, in the Sanders family burial-place. Their
descendants still own and occupy the mansion.
Their portraits, painted by Phillips in 1832, are owned

is written Samuel J. (which probably referred to his
father's name, Johannes, as was the prevalent custom),
and he himself added this initial when witnessing a deed
in 1806, thus proving it his legal signature.

SAMUEL J. TEN BROECK (J59).
Samuel, the eldest of the seven children of Jeremiah
Ten Broeck (73), was born the twenty-eighth of March,
1757. He, like his cousin Samuel (153), married one
bearing the family name — his second cousin, Christina
Ten Broeck (262).
He resided at Claverack, and when the young men of
this section responded to the call to arms, although not
of age, he entered the Ninth Company of the Livingston
Manor Regiment — probably as Ensign. In the promo-
tions of 1776 he was made Second Lieutenant. ^'^
He was entitled, according to the usage prevalent
among those of Dutch ancestry, to adopt his father's
initial J. for his own middle letter ; accordingly, we find
his will, which is recorded at Hudson, New York, and
bears date of May the tenth, 1826, is written over his
name as Samuel J. Ten Broeck, of Claverack. He
died the twenty-fifth of April, 1830, and was buried at
Claverack. In conformity with the act of February
the second, 1848, Christina Ten Broeck received the
pension accorded the widow of a lieutenant in the Rev-
olutionary war. She died probably in 1850.

ADAM TEN BROECK (160).
Adam, the second son of Jeremiah Ten Broeck (73),
was born on July the twenty-fourth, 1759. Before he
reached the age of manhood the spirit of the times drew
him into active military service. Among the men of his
own town he was chosen to bear the standard for the
Fourth Company, Eighth Regiment of the First Claver-
ack Battalion. He received his appointment as Ensign
February the twenty-fifth, 1778, under Robert Van Rens-
selaer, Colonel Commandant.^*^
He was a member, for a time, of Colonel Goosen Van
Schaick's Regiment, the First of the New York hne.
After Independence was achieved he received a grant of
land in recognition of his services.
He was an original member of the Society of the Cin-
cinnati.^^
He married twice : first at Claverack, on May the thir-
tieth, 1784, to Lydia Maria Monson. By this alliance
there were nine children. His second marriage was on
120 Adam Ten Broeck
the twenty-eighth of January, 1807, to Hannah Mor-
rison, and five children were born to them.
Adam Ten Broeck died the thirtieth of May, 1826, in
the sixty-seventh year of his age. His second wife, who
was more than twenty years his junior, outHved him for a
period of forty-four years. She died on April the seven-
teenth, 1870, at the age of ninety.

JOHN TEN BROECK (189).
Born at Raritan Landing on the tenth of September,
1757, he married Mary Ladner, who, at the age of four-
teen, had become the wife of John Webster, and was
now a widow of twenty-five, with two daughters, Sarah
{vide 191) and Mary Webster.
John Ten Broeck brought his bride to the home of
his youth, for the responsibihty of the homestead rested
largely upon him at this time. Three years later, upon
the death of his father — in 1790 — he became part
owner of the property, and by purchase and deed from
each of the other heirs, he kept it intact, and resided
there until his death.^*^
He died in the prime of life, shortly before reaching
the age of forty-one, and was buried in the family lot on
the place. The stone marking the spot bears the date
of his death, August the eighteenth, 1798.
By his will, recorded in Trenton, N. J., Book 38, he
devised the Ten Broeck homestead to his son John.

PETER TEN BROECK (190).
He was born at the Ten Broeck homestead, at Raritan
Landing, on the fourth of September, 1760, and bap-
tized in the Dutch Church of New Brunswick the seventh
of December following.
Peter Ten Broeck was a lad of sixteen at the date of
the battle of Trenton, and the frightful sounds of the
artillery were among his most vivid recollections of that
memorable time.
He crossed the line from Middlesex to Hunterdon
County to find his bride, Ame (Emma), the daughter of
Joseph Chamberlain, a man prominent in matters of both
church and state in the township of Alexandria. They
were married on the fourth of July, 1782. Very soon they
went to Readington, in Hunterdon County, and pur-
chased the property opposite the Dutch Church.
This church had been erected in 1738, although the
congregation had been organized as early as 17 17. In
1787 Rev. Peter Studdiford was called to the pastorate.
During all the previous period the people had heard
" the gospel undefiled in Holland Dutch," and although
Dominie Studdiford did not understand the language,
yet, upon accepting, he had engaged to study it suffi-
ciently to preach in the Dutch tongue, occasionally,. for
Peter Ten Broeck 125
the edification of the older people. This he essayed to
do, but found it too difficult, and, to his relief, the Con-
sistory kindly changed the terms of the "call."
Some of the congregation were very much displeased
with this course, and one Sunday morning, having ob-
tained possession of the key, locked the church door
against the dominie. Peter Ten Broeck, who was a
warm friend of the pastor, hearing that the church was
locked against him, soon came up with an axe, and said
to the malcontents, " If you do not open that door I
will ! " The door was opened, and the sermon was
preached in English. The excitement soon died away,
and the trouble about not preaching in Dutch was
ended. '''^
" Emmy " Chamberlain Ten Broeck became a member
of this church by certificate from the Presbyterian con-
gregation at Alexandria. She died at Readington, but
was buried with her father's family in the Alexandria
churchyard. On the top of a flat table stone is this
inscription :
Sacred to the memory of Emma,
Wife of Peter Ten Broeck, who departed this life December 5,
1805, in the 49*'' year of her age.
In life religion was her stay.
She in her dying hour,
By its triumphant power,
Hailed with joy the realms of day.
Peter Ten Broeck married again, on May the thirty-
first, 1 81 2, Catharine Emmons, of Readington, a woman
of remarkable beauty. There were seven children by
126 Ten Broeck Family Papers
this second marriage, and Peter Ten Broeck lost his sec-
ond wife two years before his death, which occurred on
the twentieth of July, 1840. They were both buried
under the shadow of the church. Their home is still
owned by a descendant.
Letters of administration on his estate were granted
to John Runk, a son-in-law, on the fifth of August, 1840.
Peter had outlived his brother Rensselaer (191), co-
executor of the estate of their father. Captain John Ten
Broeck (78), and a large store of family papers had come
into his possession. These he guarded with most zeal-
ous care throughout his hfe, but unfortunately, during
the " improvement " of the house which was made after
his death they became scattered, and traces of few of
them can be found. Doubtless, had these been pre-
served, many difficult questions, interesting alike to the
family and to the public, might have been solved.

SAMUEL TEN BROECK (193).
The youngest child of Captain John Ten Broeck (78)
studied medicine, and as a young man went to Shrews-
bury, N. J., where he practised his profession through-
out his life. His bright, genial manner made him a
eeneral favorite, and he was the trusted friend, as well
as physician, of many families.
He became the possessor of much real estate, and his
homestead is still to be seen on the beautiful avenue of
that charming village.
He married on the fourth of June, 1797, Mary, the
daughter of Edmund Williams — a family whose connec-
tions were among the best in Monmouth County. Seven
children were born to them, but of the four sons only
one lived until the age of manhood, and he also died,
unmarried, in his twenty-second year.
Dr. Ten Broeck made his will in February, 1826.
Three months later his wife, Mary, died, and before the
end of the year following, the youngest daughter and
eldest son were both taken from him by death. In-
fluenced by these changes, on the eighth of January,
1828, he disposed of all his real estate by deed to his
remaining children, share and share alike, with the confi-
dence that they would " provide the grantor with every
necessary convenience " as long as he should Hve.

JOHN C. TEN BROECK (194).
He was the eldest child of Cornells Ten Broeck (83)
and Maria Bodyn. Born in Claverack the fifteenth of
March, 1755, he was almost immediately taken to New
Jersey, where his baptism is recorded in the Readington
Dutch Church April the thirteenth. When he was about
nine years of age his parents returned to the place of his
birth, and there he grew up, and received the best edu-
cation possible in thobe unsettled and exciting times.
At the breaking out of the war between England and
the colonies he enlisted, and was commissioned First
Lieutenant of the Sixth Company, First Regiment of
the New York Continental line, on November the
twenty-first, 1776. The regiment was commanded by
his kinsman. Colonel Goosen Van Schaick {vide 203), and
was composed of the flower of New York.^^
He distinguished himself as a brave soldier through-
out the war, and was promoted to the captaincy June
the twenty-ninth, 1781. He received the title of major
as a brevet.
Major Ten Broeck was engaged in the battles of Tren-
ton, Brandywine, and Monmouth. He shared the priva-
tions of Valley Forge, and it was at Yorktown that he
received his only wound, being hit in the shoulder by a
shell.
In preparation for the campaign of 1777 the First
New York marched to the Mohawk Valley in answer to
the summons of Colonel Marinus Willett, but the family
tradition is that John C. Ten Broeck was in Fort Stanwix
with Colonel Peter Gansevoort, and it is supposed he
1 32 Major John C. Ten Broeck
was specially detailed to attend him there at the time the
invasion from Canada was impending.
Major Ten Broeck was an original member of the So-
ciety of the Cincinnati, and his place descended to the
late Mr. William Ketchum, of Plattsburg, New York.^^
An ivory miniature of him is in possession of his great-
granddaughter, Mrs. James Wilson, of Newark, N. J.
This plate has been reproduced from an oil painting, an
enlarged copy of the miniature, owned by Mr. Thomas
Hillhouse, of New York. The uniform in which he was
represented was probably that of some military organi-
zation to which he belonged before enlisting in the New
York troops.
When peace was assured, Major Ten Broeck returned
to the upper Hudson, and on the thirtieth of December,
1784, married his second cousin, Antje Ten Broeck (147).
They resided at Hudson, New York.
Lafayette had commanded the division of troops to
which Major Ten Broeck belonged, and when he visited
the United States in 1825 the Major was very anxious
to see his old commander. Learning that Lafayette was
to pass from Albany to Troy on the Erie Canal, he took
passage on the packet-boat, sought the General's pres-
ence, and recounted to him certain incidents of a review
at Valley Forge : A party of distinguished Frenchmen
had come to call upon their countryman in camp, and
the General had ordered his troops to appear, in honor
of the occasion. The officers had demurred, feeling they
would make but a pitiable show, and begged they might
be excused on account of the condition of their uni-
forms. But Lafayette had refused, saying, " Never mind
MAJOR JOHN C. TEN BROECK.

your clothes. When I tell them of the battles you have
fought they will not mind your clothes." To his great
pleasure, General Lafayette at once remembered him.
The Major delighted in telling the story of this meeting. ^^
After the marriages of their children they finally took
up their residence at Walnut Grove, the home of their son-
in-law, Thomas Hillhouse, Senior, in the town of Water-
vliet, Albany County, N. Y. Here Major Ten Broeck
died on the tenth of August, 1835, and his wife outlived
him less than three years. They were buried in the
family vault on the estate, but when the property passed
into the hands of strangers their remains were taken to
the Hillhouse plot in Albany Rural Cemetery, where
they now rest.

PETER BODINE TEN BROECK (196).
He was born the sixth of August, 1759, and named
for his maternal grandfather. His baptism was by the
Rev. Johannes Casparus P>yemoet. Although it is re-
corded that at times this clergyman went " on errands
of strife to the congregation at Readington, New Jersey,
and there baptized," yet the fact that the sponsors in this
case were Jeremiah Ten Broeck and his wife points strongly
to Claverack as the place. There were some of the King-
ston branch of Ten Broecks in New Jersey at this time,
but the name Jeremiah does not appear in their records.
The data referring to Peter B. Ten Broeck's life are
very meagre. In May, 1789, he witnessed a deed, for
the conveyance of land from John Van Rensselaer " to
John Ten Broeck of the City of Hudson, yoeman."
Although very youthful for military service in the
days of ''j6, he enlisted with the men of Albany County
under Col. Robert Van Rensselaer. ^^
A miniature representing him in uniform is owned by
his niece in the third generation, Mrs. Henry Seaman
Howard, of Stamford, Conn. It will be seen the uniform
is similar to that worn by his brother, and probably the
same artist painted both pictures.
There is no record of his ever having married.

MARIA TEN BROECK (203).
Maria was born in New Brunswick, N. J., the thirty-
first of July, 1750, and on November the fifteenth, 1770,
was married in New York City to Goosen Van Schaick.
He was a descendant of the early colonist of Bever-
wyck, who, with others in 1662, resolved to form an
agricultural settlement on the Esopus.
Goosen Van Schaick's first experience as a soldier was
when he served under General Amherst in the French
War. This was a preparation for the necessity of the
Revolutionary days, when he was commissioned Colonel
of the Second Regiment of the New York line. He was
afterward General in the regular service, and held this
rank at the time of his death, which occurred on July
fourth, 1789.^"
Their seven children, with one exception, outlived
their father many years, as did also his wife, Maria Ten
Broeck Van Schaick, who died at Albany January the

RICHARD LIVINGSTON (215).
Richard Livingston grew into manhood at the time
when young people in all Dutch families were encour-
aged to avoid the use of their hereditary tongue. In
this way his baptismal name Dirck was gradually super-
seded by the English equivalent, Richard.
Through the removal of his parents to Montreal, in
his youth, he made the acquaintance of and married a
Canadian lady, Elizabeth Rencour.
He was Lieutenant-Colonel in his brother James's
regiment, which first did service in Canada, and later in
New York.
He died in March, 1784, and was buried at Stillwater,
New York.

JAMES LIVINGSTON (216).
James, the son of John Livingston and Catharine Ten
Broeck, was born the twenty-seventh of March, 1747.
He married Elizabeth Simpson, of Montreal.
Possessing some influence among the Canadians, he
raised a body of men under the standard of the Ameri-
can Congress. As their commander, he marched against
Fort Chambly, seized its entire stores and garrison, and
afterward accompanied General Montgomery to Quebec.
On the failure of the expedition, Colonel Livingston
returned to New York, and in 1776 his men were incor-
porated by Congress into a regiment called the Canadian
Battalion. He was at the battle of Stillwater in 1777,
in 1780 was quartered in the Highlands, and served un-
til 1 78 1, when his regiment was reduced. ^^

CATHARINE TEN BROECK LIVINGSTON (220).
She was born on the second of November, 1755, and
baptized twelve days later in the Dutch Church of New
York City.
During her childhood the family resided in Montreal,
and when they returned to New York, Catharine re-
mained with her married sister Annatje (217), then Mrs.
Jacob Jordan, of Montreal, until the completion of her
education. Shortly following her return to the family
home at Stillwater, she was taken to Boston by a French
lady, whose praises are still sung by the descendants, al-
though her name is only a surmise. During this visit,
at a ball given in that city in honor of Lafayette, Cath-
arine met young Doctor Willard, whom she afterward
married.
Elias Willard was born on the seventeenth of January,
1756, at Harvard, Massachusetts, a small town not far
from Concord. His ancestors had been men of note in
the early days of New England history.
From his own journal, now the property of a great-
granddaughter, one is very fortunate in obtaining
glimpses of the epochs in the life and time of Elias
Willard as well as of his wife. One of the most vivid
pictures is given under date of April, 1775, wherein is
described his pilgrimage to the battle-field of Lexington
Dr. Elias Willard 14 1
on the day following the contest. He was then studying
medicine, and when his course was completed he was
appointed surgeon in the army, and served throughout
the war. Part of the time he was stationed at the Boston
Hospital, and doubtless it was at that period the young
people first met. In regard to his marriage he writes:
"In the year 1778, July the eighth, I was married to
Catharine Ten Broeck Livingston, and immediately
thereafter visited Albany and the country to the north-
ward."
It seems probable Catharine remained near her pater-
nal home, as her husband purchased an estate at Still-
water and resided there after the close of the war, for
some time. In 1785 they moved to Canada for a
while, and at this period is written the following :
"The time of our arrival in Montreal was June the seven-
teenth, 1785. A melancholy accident deprived us of one of
our children, named Sarah Ten Eyck, about four years old.
Depression of spirits, occasioned by this and several other cir-
cumstances, rendered my wife inconsolable, and she wished
much to return to Stillwater."
They removed finally to Albany, retaining the place
at Stillwater as a summer residence, and Doctor Willard
makes this note of the change: "In the year 1790 I
purchased the place I now live upon from General
Abraham Ten Broeck for three thousand dollars." The
house is situated on Broadway, next to the Fourth
Presbyterian Church. North Pearl Street was not then
opened through.

Holland, but was called when only twenty-two years of
age to the Dutch Church in Albany, where his ministry
was one of unusual ability and success.

DIRCK TEN BROECK (245).
Dirck, the eldest child and only son of General Abra-
ham Ten Broeck, was born on the third of November,
1765. He married, at the age of twenty, Cornelia Stuy-
19
146 Hon. Dirck Ten Broeck
vesant, who was three years younger — the daughter of
Petrus Stuyvesant and Margaret Livingston.
He had the good fortune to belong to the first genera-
tion of patriots, with their enthusiasm not to a province,
but to a nation. His social and political position was
well assured, both by the family name he bore and the
confidence which his father continued to merit. Thus
his life opened with every promise.
He had studied law, and in 1796 was elected Member
of Assembly from Albany County.®^ In 1798 he was
appointed Speaker of the House of Assembly, and for
three sessions his polished diction and eloquent power
were felt in the deliberations of that body. When Mrs.'
Margaret Stuyvesant Gibson (457) died at Waterford,
N, Y., on the twenty-second of December, 1873, the
Troy Whig published the following :
Her father, Dirck Ten Broeck, was speaker of the Assembly
when John Jay was Governor, in 1796, 1798, and 1800. Some
of the old residents of Albany yet well remember when Speaker
Ten Broeck rode to the capitol in his coach-and-four, with as
much dignity as the Chancellor of England.
A lithograph, or copper-plate, was executed at this
period, which represents the men foremost in the State
government of those days. A copy is bound with the
fourth volume of the " Documentary History of New
York," and there is also a facsimile print of the group
in the State Library at Albany. The plate of Dirck Ten
Broeck here given is reproduced from this.
Under the will of his father, in 18 10, he received
lands that had continued in the Ten Broeck family for
THE HON. DIRCK TEN BROECK.
Speaker of New York House of Assembly, 1798-1800.

JACOB TEN BROECK (264).
The Will of Jacob Ten Broeck, made at Clermont
(now Germantown), under date of February the third,
1829, and proved at Hudson, N. Y., June the eleventh,
the same year, adds one more link to the interest that
must always center in the ancient Bible of Wessel Ten
Broeck, and the portrait of the ancestor, Jacob Ten
Broeck (see plates on page 39 and 61), the prized heir-
looms of generations, in the direct line from son to son.
An extract from the Will best shows the value then
placed upon them :
Item. I give and bequeath unto my grandson, Jacob Wes-
sel .. . the old Bible. It is my particular request that
1 50 Jacob Ten Broeck
my daughter, Helen, shall have it in care until my grandson,
Jacob Wessel, shall attain the age of twenty-one years.
He then devises the portrait of his grandfather to the
same grandson, and adds, " It is my particular request
that my son Jacob shall have it in care for my grandson,
Jacob Wessel, until he attain the age of twenty-one
years." By this provision Jacob Wessel Ten Broeck
(770) became the owner.
There perhaps were times when the full value of the
book and its records was only partly appreciated ; as
it is said by one of the family, he recalls the time when
the heavy volume was placed upon his tiny dress-skirt,
that he might not wander far from under the maternal
hand.
The book needs only to be weighed in the hands one
moment to realize what a restraining factor it must have
been !

LEONARD W. TEN BROECK.
From the Oil-Portrait of 1832.
Gen. Leonard W. Ten Broeck 155
From early manhood his interest as a patriot and citi-
zen was shown by his upright and useful life. The confi-
dence he inspired was manifested by the honors put upon
him by the people. He belonged to the State Militia,
and was advanced to the rank of Major-General. He
served as a member of the fifty-fifth session of the
Assembly in 1832, from Columbia County, and later was
appointed Sheriff ot the county.
He married on the eleventh of October, 1820, Helen,
the daughter of Walter Tryon Livingston. She was a
member of the Dutch Church, and the good Christian
lives of both were "clean and blameless amongst men."
The portraits, painted by Phillips in 1832, are owned
by their son Mr. W. T. L. Ten Broeck of Rhinebeck,
New York.
His death occurred in the prime of life, cutting off a
career of great influence. His wife outlived him less
than four years. They are buried in the family cemetery
at Clermont, and the stones bear these inscriptions :
Leonard W. Ten Broeck,
Died January 24, 1852, aged 54 years, 11 mos. and 10 days.
Thou art gone to the grave, but we will not deplore thee,
Though sorrow and darkness encompass the tomb ;
The Saviour has passed through its portals before thee,
And the lamp of his love is thy guide through the gloom.

Wife of Leonard W. Ten Broeck.
Died September 21, 1855.

170 Hon. John Runk
At the time of her marriage she went to Kingwood, in
the upper part of Hunterdon County, New Jersey, where
her husband's family resided. Here the pubHc life of
John Runk commenced, when he was made a member
of the Board of Chosen Freeholders in 1825, which posi-
tion he held for eight years. He was elected sheriff of
the county in 1836, and served three years. In 1844
he was elected member of Congress, and four years later,
in the position of presidential elector, he cast his vote
for General Zachary Taylor for President. In 1850 he
was nominated for Governor of New Jersey, but failed
to be elected owing to a small adverse majority.
On the twenty-fifth of November, 1848, Emma Ten
Broeck Runk died at Kingwood, leaving a family of
seven sons and three daughters. She had been their
ideal, and the harmony and beauty of her daily life
were a legacy to each of them in all the years to
come.
In 1854 Hon. John Runk removed to Lambertville,
New Jersey. He was here elected a member of the
Board of Chosen Freeholders, and was the Director for
two years. He was a charter member of the Society of
Free Masons, and filled the position of Treasurer for
many years.
He was a man of fine physique, eminently endowed
with social qualities. His knowledge of men, generous
hospitality, and above all true nobility of character
caused him to be highly esteemed by the community at
large.
His death occurred at Lambertville on the twenty-
second of September, 1872.

JACOB TEN BROECK (475).
He was born in Clermont (now Germantown), Colum-
bia County, N. Y., on the thirteenth of May, 1800.
Here he grew to the age of manhood, and remained
until 1844, when he removed to the town of Greenport,
in the same county. After living there for two years he
gave the farm to one of his sons, and took up his resi-
dence in the city of Hudson.
He at once became active in the affairs of the city. He
was a charter-director of the Farmers' National Bank of
Hudson, and outlived all those with whom he was so as-
sociated, serving continuously in the capacity of director
throughout his life.
In 1862 he represented the First Assembly District of
the County of Columbia in the State Legislature. In
1863 and 1864 he was mayor of Hudson, and owing to
the Civil War had an unusually responsible and laborious
administration, the duties of which he performed with
the ability and honor that always characterized him as
a public official.^^

Jacob Ten Broeck 187
He had, throughout his life, been industrious and en-
terprising, and by the application of these qualities to
business, he secured an honorable reputation and a
competency.
From early manhood he was an exemplary Christian.
At Clermont his home was the center for ministerial
hospitality — an open house for every good cause. He
ever maintained the same spirit of charity, and was a
constant contributor to the Reformed Dutch Church, of
which he was a loyal son. He served as elder, both in
Germantown and Hudson, as long as his strength per-
mitted.
About 1840 he was captain of militia in Clermont,
and the " general training days," with their bright mili-
tary trappings, were festive and memorable occasions.
Jacob Ten Broeck died in Hudson, on the twenty-
fourth of March, 1883. He had married at St. John's,
Red Hook, on the sixth of November, 1821, Anna, the
daughter of Henry Benner and Catharine Pitcher. The
Benner family were of ancient lineage in Upper Bavaria,
honored for brave deeds in the days of the crusades.
The portraits of Jacob Ten Broeck and his wife, painted
by Phillips in 1834, are owned by their daughter. Miss
Christina Catharine Ten Broeck of Hudson.
This branch of the family represents one of the rare
instances in our country in which the name " home-
stead " stands for the property that has been continu-
ously in the line, from father to son, for eight generations.
Part of the tract of six hundred acres purchased of Rob-
ert Livingston by Dirck Wesselse Ten Broeck (3), while
a merchant of Albany, is now the home of Jacob Ten

Broeck's grandson. Unfortunately, part of the original
purchase was taken from the lawful owners, in those
troublous times when Great Britain demanded taxes from
a people who purposed to govern themselves.

LENA (HELEN) TEN BROECK (476).
Helen Ten Broeck was born at Germantown, New
York, on September the eighth, 1803. On the twen-
tieth of September, 1836, she became the wife of Rev.
Thomas K. Lape, then pastor of the Lutheran Church
at Athens. She died in less than four years afterward,
and left no children. Her portrait, painted by Phillips
in 1834, — two years before her marriage, — is still in
the home of her childhood at North Germantown, New
York.
CATHARINE MARIA TEN BROECK (477).
Born on the twenty-sixth of July, 1805, she married
on November the first, 1826, WilHam Henry De Witt,
the fourth son of John I. De Witt, of " The Embocht,"
Greene County, New York, whose ancestors had been
eminent in public affairs in Holland.
Wilham H. De Witt's early life was spent upon his
father's farm, and he attended the schools nearest at hand.
Possessed of great mental aptitude, his parents sent him
to Rutgers College, New Jersey. After the college course
he entered upon the study of law, but not finding this
congenial he relinquished it, and returned to the farm.
Shortly after, he married Catharine M. Ten Broeck.
She was a woman of good judgment, amiable, unselfish,
and conscientious — one who had friends in every circle.
In 1830 they purchased the Seth Ten Broeck farm at
Germantown, adjoining that of Jacob Ten Broeck (475)-
Possessed of a keen intellect and of untiring energy,
190 Ten Broeck Family Records
William H. De Witt was upright and fearless. He was
politically active, and was regarded as a wise party
leader, but was never induced to accept any public office
of importance. He was a close and trusted friend of
Martin Van Buren, De Witt Clinton (who was also a
relative), and others prominent in affairs of the State.
He died on the twenty-fifth of March, 1886. After
his death, Catharine Ten Broeck De Witt frequently
spent the winters with her daughter, Mrs. Isaac Carhart,
in Brooklyn, and her death occurred there on the twenty-
seventh of March, 1896. They are both buried in the
hallowed ground of the old churchyard at Germantown,
New York.
The portraits painted in 1834 by Phillips are now in
possession of their daughter, Mrs. Charles H. Hover, of
Germantown.

ber, 1846, married Laura A. Jarvis.
He had chosen the ministry as his vocation, but his
health failing, he was obliged to abandon it. He then
went to Rensselaerville, N. Y., where for many years he
conducted a school, well known for its high character
and thoroughness. By example and precept, he stimu-
lated his pupils to do their best.
He died on the ninth of September, 1886, and was
buried from the Episcopal Church, of which he had been
a communicant for more than half a century.

PETER TEN BROECK RUNK (645).
He was born in Kingwood, N. J., on the sixteenth of
April, 1818. His early manhood was passed in helping
forward the various industries on the family property,
which were quite extensive, and included mills as well as
farm lands.
Ten Broeck Runk, as he was familiarly called, married
on June the fourth, 1845, Fanny Barcroft, the eldest
daughter of Ambrose Barcroft, Jr. In the spring of 1850
they removed to Armstrong County, Pa., where they
resided until the death of Peter Ten Broeck Runk, which
occurred March thirty-first, i860. This plate is copied
from a daguerreotype which was taken in March, 1853.
He was never prominent in public affairs, but was
deeply interested in the American, or " Know-Nothing "
party, which advocated the control of the Government
by native citizens.

RICHARD TEN BROECK {vide page 99).
It seems proper that the name and sketch of Richard
Ten Broeck, the noted Kentuckian, should find a place
in the records of the family and generation to which he
belongs.
It has, so far, proved impossible to trace his continu-
ous line of descent, although he wrote thus of himself:
My maternal grandfather, Henry Bicker of Philadelphia, was
an officer with Washington during the Revolution, while my
paternal grandfather, Col. Dirck Ten Broeck, was likewise a
Revolutionary officer, although not attached to Washington's
staff. I was born in Albany, N. Y., where my early boyhood
was passed and I received my education. In 1829 I became a
cadet at West Point. After leaving there I spent several years
in the South, where my racing career began, which continued,
with occasional breaks, until 1877, when I retired entirely.
The family trait of love for and pride in fine horses
reached an unusual development in his case. From
boyhood to old age, his ambitions were bound up in the
events of the turf His name was well known in Canada
and England, as well as throughout the United States.
Late in life he married the widow of H. D. Newcomb
of Louisville, Ky., but an unfortunate temperament sep-
arated, them. He then built himself a home at Menlo
Park, -Nrj., which he named "The Hermitage." Here
he died in the summer of 1892, in probably the eighty-
fifth year of his age.^"^ rVr).- . \ .:'. ] )

3 Original Rec. of the Kingston and Albany Dutch Churches.
Note. — The relationship of Cornelia Ten Broeck (5), stated
on page eight, coincides with the opinion of Mr. C. H.
Van Gaasbeek, Jr. ; see reference following. The original
papers of the legal proceedings of the Kingston Church au-
thorities against Dom. Van den Bosch are still in existence.
The contents of these cast a shade of doubt upon this opin-
ion. While these papers establish nothing, yet the infer-
ence might be that the wife of Laurentius Van den Bosch
was the daughter of Dirck Wesselse Ten Broeck, instead of
his sister. In that case the marriage of Cornelia Ten Broeck
(9) to Johannes Wvnkoop in 1696, was a second alliance.

NOTE
To find your ancestry in this arrangement of families, refer to
the page indicated for your own name. On the head-line of your
family will be found your parents' names. Note the number found
on this line, and turn back until this appears as a marginal number.
Your grandparents' names will then be found on the head-line.
Following the same plan you will find the line of ascent. In case
the line of descent is being traced, and both parents belong to the
Ten Broeck family, the father's line has been made the direct one.
In all cases where the surname has been changed through mar-
riage, the maiden name alone will be found in the inde.x, with the
married name in parenthesis following.
