Conn.
CLAES MARTENSZEN VAN ROSENVELT arrived in New Netherland, now New York, in
one of the most memorable years in the history of his time, for it was about
1649, when the Dutch government was seriously embarrassed. A contest had been
waged between the people and the Sovereign of England, as it had long before
been carried on in the Netherlands. Opposition had been succeeded by revolt
and civil war. Charles the First was beheaded in front of his own banqueting
hall, and England declared a republic. The shock, which troubled Europe, was
felt in America. In that year Winthrop died. The Dutch and other traders were
forbidden to trade with the New England savages. Arms were brought to New
Amsterdam from Holland, the people fearing that war would break out with the
savages. Public opinion was running strong against Stuyvesant. Food was scarce.
The winter was so cold that "ink froze in the pen." About this time
a Burgher government was demanded, and delegates were sent to Holland. Katskill
and Claverack were settled. Stuyvesant opposed the reformers. Fort Nassau
was demolished. Esopus (N. Y.) and Newtown (L. I.) were settled. The Burgher
government was conceded to Manhattan. War was declared between the English
and the Dutch nations. The Dutch built fortifications across New Amsterdam.
In 1652-1653 all business was at a standstill, and the people were under arms,
not knowing when an attempt would be made against the Colony. The next year
the Dutch found danger still greater, as Cromwell had dispatched a fleet to
America, and as the fleet was leaving New England for New Amsterdam it was
met by a vessel bringing news of peace between England and Holland. Later,
in 1655, the Colony awoke one morning to find itself in possession of the
Indians, but Stuyvesant established quiet by presents instead of by arms.
Claes Martenszen van Rosenvelt was among the numerous Holland colonists who
came over to New Amsterdam in 1649 or 1650, undoubtedly bringing with him
his wife, Jannetje Samuel-Thomas. In Munsill's American Ancestry, Vol. VI.,
p. 19, we find the statement that he immigrated to New Amsterdam, with his
wife, in August, 1649. No record of their marriage in New Amsterdam has been
found, but it is a matter of record in the "Court Minutes of New Amsterdam,
August 6, 1655" that "Jannetie Hamel, wife of Nicholas Martensen,
declares," etc. The baptismal records of their children in the Reformed
Dutch church of New York City are signed by their parents as Claes Martenszen
van Rosevelt-Jannetje Samuels-Jannetje Thomas, as shown by the records herein
given, Styntie Claes Rosevelt was admitted member of the church November 28,
1678. Claes Rosevelt was admitted December 4. 1679, to the Reformed Dutch
church of New York, where they and their descendants have attended for 250
years.

Isaac Roosevelt, born, 1726, who was one of the most active American patriots
in New York during the whole period of the Revolution, was at least one half
German by blood, as three of his four great-grandfathers were German, as well
as at least one of his great-grandmothers.

ISAAC (Jacobus), b. December 8th old style and 19th new style, 1726 (from
family Bible). Baptized December 18, 1726, in the Reformed Dutch Church of
New York; m., Septem-ber 22, 1752, new style, Cornelia Hoffman, b. August
13, old style and 24 new style (from family Bible), 1734, at Kingston, N.Y.,
daughter of Colonel Martinus Hoffman and Tryntie, daughter of Robert and Cornelia
(Roos) Benson. Son of Nicholas Hoffman of Kingston, Ulster Co., N. Y., and
his wife Jannetje, daughter of Antonie Crispell, a Huguenot, and one of the
patentees of New Paltz, Ulster Co., N. Y.
Isaac Roosevelt was admitted freeman September
27, 1748. His business was that of sugar refining. He built the old sugar
house, the first erected before the Revolution, and worked during the war
and for forty years after. His store was originally on Wall Street. His house
faced on Queen Street, now Pearl, in Franklin Square. Harper Bros. now owns
this property. On the rear of his house and in the center of the block was
the old sugar house. On the 25th of April, 1772, he removed to St. George's
Square, and he issued the following advertisement: "Isaac Roosevelt is
removed from his house in Wall Street to the house of his late brother, Jacobus
Roosevelt, Jr., deceased, near the Sugar house, and opposite to Mr. William
Waltons, being on the north-west side of Queen Street, where his customers
may be supplied as usual with double, middling and single refined loaf sugars,
clarified, muscovado and other molasses, & etc."
The Chamber of Commerce was organized in 1768
and kept up by the resident merchants during the war. Isaac Roosevelt was
one of its first members. (Mem. Hist. N. Y., p. 15, Vol III.) His name is
found among the original incorporators of the first public hospital in New
York, 1770.
Mr. Isaac Roosevelt enlisted as private in the
Sixth Regiment, Dutchess County Militia (Land Bounty Rights: N. Y. in the
Revolution, p. 250). He was elected April 22, 1775, a member of the Provincial
Congress "On Sunday, April 23, 1775, at noon, a dusty, travel stained
horseman dashed into the city with the news of the affair at Lexington, in
a twinkling copies of the dispatch he bore were posted at all places of public
resort."
"On May the 1st, 1775, the following gentlemen
were among those chosen a general committee for the county and city of New
York in the present alarming crisis. 'Isaac Roosevelt, 'Nicholas Roosevelt,'
at the same time chosen deputies of the other counties, in the Provincial
Congress, May 22. Isaac Roosevelt." (N. Y. Mem. Hist., Vol. II., p. 480.)
He was one of the most noted Whigs of the time.
On the entry of the British he withdrew from the city. His sacrifices were
rewarded by the confidence of his countrymen. Mr. Roosevelt was one of the
General Committee of One Hundred to take control of the government. He represented
the city of New York in the convention at Kingston, Ulster County, N. Y.,
to form a constitution for this State, April 20, 1777, and of the New York
convention at Poughkeepsie, June 18, 1788, to deliberate on the adoption of
the Constitution of the United States.
The men of 1776 had found out long ago that to
carry on war successfully money was needed, for they had to pay for powder
alone L30 or L40 per 100 wt.; hence the last issue of paper money was soon
drawn out of the treasury. About the same time New York applied to the Continental
Congress for a loan of L45, 000, which was refused, and the Committee of Safety,
sitting during the adjournment of the Provincial Congress, ordered, January
6, 1776, that Isaac Roosevelt get an emission of paper money ready as quickly
as possible. Delays, however, arose. March 5th the House adopted the report
of the Committee for the issue of L55, 000, 213,400 bills in denomination
of 1-8, 1-6, 1-4, 1-3, 1-2, 2-3, 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, to be redeemed or sunk in
three yearly installments, beginning March 1, 1779. (Mem. Hist. N. Y., Vol.
IV., p. 339.) The Bank of New York was established early in 1784, largely
through the efforts of William Duer and General Alexander McDougall, who was
its first president until his death on 8th June 1786, when Mr. Roosevelt succeeded
him. Mr. Roosevelt was State Senator, 1786-90.
The freeholders and freemen of the city met at the Exchange on March 6. On
that day a Union flag with a red field was hoisted on the liberty pole, at
9 o'clock, when the people rallied in large numbers and marched to the Exchange,
where they authorized the committee to nominate eleven deputies, for the sole
purpose of choosing delegates to the General Congress, such election to be
held April 25. The committee nominated deputies for the city and county of
New York in the Provincial Congress. They were Philip Livingston, John Jay,
James Duane, John Alsop, Isaac Low, Francis Lewis, Abraham Walton, Abraham
Brasher, Alexander McDougall, Leonard Lispenard and Isaac Roosevelt. (Meni.
Hist. N. Y., Vol. II., p. 443.)

New York State convention, called to meet at Poughkeepsie, June 17, 1788.
Isaac Roosevelt was one of the seventeen State Senators under Governor Clinton.
In 1784 Mr. Roosevelt resumed his business of sugar refining, in partnership
with his son, under the firm name of Isaac Roosevelt & Son. Mr. Roosevelt
continued president of the bank until 1791, when he retired and was succeeded
by Gulian Verplank. "He was the fourth President of the Society of the
New York Hospital, 1790-1794. He died October, 1794, aged 68, beloved and
honored as a tried, true and constant parent." (Chamber Commerce Rec.)
In the diary of General George Washington the
following lines are written about Nov. 14, 1789: "Received an invitation
to attend the funeral of Mrs. Roosevelt (the wife of a Senator of this State),
but declined complying with it, first, because the propriety of accepting
an invitation of this sort appeared to be very questionable, and secondly
(though to do it in this instance might not be improper), because it might
be difficult to discriminate in cases which might thereafter happen."
(Mem. Hist. N. Y., Vol. III., p. 57.
"She departed this life on Fryday, 12 o'clock
ye 13 Nove 1789 being then 55 years 2 ms and 19 days of age" (from family

Named Franklin Delano in honor of his mother's uncle, Franklin Hughes Delano.
32nd President-elect
Franklin D. Roosevelt will be the first President descended from some of the
small number of German settlers who came to New Netherland while it was under
Dutch rule.
He will also be the first President with any considerable amount of French
blood, being descended from Philippe De la Noye, Anthony Crispel, Mary Lobel,
the wife of James Cole, John Coombs, and by two lines from Hester Mahieu,
the wife of Francis Cooke. This is remarkable, as the number of French among
the early settlers was very small.
The fact that Franklin D. Roosevelt will be the First President descended
from any of the early Swedish settlers is another instance of the wide variety
of people from whom his descent is traced.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, our 32nd President and leader during the Depression
and World War II, had five Mayflower ancestors. Through his father, James
Roosevelt, he descended from John Howland, His mother, Sara Delano, was a
descendant of Isaac Allerton and Degory Priest, Francis Cooke and Richard
Warren. He actually had four lines to Warren including Warren's son, Nathaniel,
who figured in Grant's genealogy.

A Lawyer and politician, FDR had more than a Handful of Pilgrim ancestors,
including John Howland. Despite being crippled with polio, Roosevelt was elected
governor of New York and then president of the United States in 1932. He launched
the New Deal to combat the Great Depression and was reelected to three additional
terms as president. When World War II broke out he became one of the leaders
of the free world and conferred often with his cousin, British Prime Minister
Winston Churchill who was descended from John Howland's brother Arthur. FDR
died in 1945 just before the Allied victory over Germany and Japan.
