The inventory of his father's estate indicates that the racks he inherited were to lay cloth on. This suggests that William was trained as a youth in his father's occupation. In 1611 William was mentioned in the will of his mother, Joan Waldron, being bequeathed his mother's benches and shelves 'aboute the house.'
Shortly afterwards, William left England and went to Amsterdam in the Netherlands where he was a clothworker, specifically in bombazine (which is a twill fabric, constructed of a silk warp and a worsted filling). In 1615 he married Ruth Walker, the daughter of Edward Walker, after the following Amsterdam marriage intention:
29 August 1615. Appeared as before William Waldern from Klakfort, bonbazine worker, 25 years old, living in the Paternostersteeg, having no parents, of the one part, and Ruth Walker, from Marquetwerten in the county of Rottland, 20 years old, living in the Roodeleeussteeg, attended by Edward Walker, her father, of the other party. Signed: both signed by mark (Marriage Intentions 667:202, FHL 0114620; transcription courtesy of Mr. Otto Schutte and the Amsterdam Municipal Archives, an abstract was published in J. De Hoop Scheffer, History of the Free Churchmen Called Brownists . . . 1581-1701, Ithaca, N.Y., c. 1922, at p. 196).
. . . [N]othing further has been found about Ruth Walker's ancestry.
Following their marriage, William and Ruth resided in Amsterdam, where they had two known children, Joseph, both say 1617, and Resolved, born about 1620. The subsequent history of William and Ruth is unknown. They were evidently deceased by 1639, as neither is mentioned in the marriage intention of their son Joseph, recorded that year.")

Generation No. 3
12. Resolved3 Waldron (William2, John1 Waldron/Walderne) was born 10 May 1610 in Amsterdam, Holland, and died Bef. 17 May 1690 in Inventory of Estate at Harlem, NY.

He married (2) Tanneke Nagels 10 May 1654 in Amsterdam, Holland, daughter of Barent Nagel. She was born Abt. 1624 in Groningen, Holland, and died in Harlem, NY.
Notes for Resolved Waldron:
1 Riker, James, History of Harlem, New York: New Harlem Publishing Co., pp. 213, 316 317 ("Joseph and Resolved Waldron, sons of Resolved Waldron, of Amsterdam, were book printers. The family was English; the name, of repute in England from the time of the Conqueror, had spread through nearly all its southern tier of counties. But born and raised at Amsterdam, these brothers had acquired all the characteristics of Hollanders, having also married Dutch wives, the sisters Aeltie and Rebecca Hendricks, whose father, Hendrick Koch, was a respectable Amsterdam burgher. It is stated on pretty good authority that Resolved had made the voyage to Brazil, but of this we will not speak further here. Having the misfortune to lose his wife, he married again, on May 10th, 1654, a lady of thirty years, living near the West India House, Tanneke Nagel, daughter of Barent Nagel, deceased, of Groningen. Resolved was living at this time in the Teerketelssteeg, a short street just north of the Dam; but the same year sailed with his family for America."); pp. 691-709 ("On the accession of the English, Waldron took the oath of allegiance (October, 1664), but retired to private life at Harlem with the disappointment of one whose interests, as well as sympathies, all lay with the former government. It was still a pleasure to correspond with kindred in Holland. Mortien Govert, of Amsterdam, writing to Resolved, April 12, 1666, says, 'Brother: Tall Anna has gone over with the supercargo who lived in Nicholas Carmen's house.' Waldron had secured some property at Harlem, and was soon called to public office, from which he seldom had a respite for the rest of his life. He was one of the five patentees named in Nicholls' patent, and also served in the eldership. He died in 1690; his inventory taken that year, May 17, embraced lands, slaves, farmstock, etc. * * * But Waldron owed so much that the heirs agreed to let his son Samuel take all the property, real and personal, on condition that he assume the debts and the support of the widow.")

3 St. Nicholas Society Genealogical Records ( 1934), Vol. , p. 270; Vol. , pp. 260 1
4 "McKallor and Allied Families," Americana Illustrated, Vol. XXVII, January 1933, Vol. 1, p. 399 ("Resolved Waldron, grandson of Johannes Waldron mentioned above, was born in Holland, May 10, 1616, during the truce between Spain and Holland, and was named Resolved to indicate his parents' devotion to the cause of liberty and religion. He died in America in 1690. While still in Amsterdam, Holland, he learned the trade of printer.
"Resolved Waldron was preceded to America by his brother Joseph Waldron. There is record of the latter's ordering part of his salary to be paid to his mother, Maria Goverts, who resided in Amsterdam, Holland. Joseph Waldron was in charge of the magazine of the military company in New Amsterdam, and married (first) Aeltje Koch, the daughter of Henrick Koch, and sister of the first wife of Resolved Waldron.
"Resolved Waldron sailed to America in 1654, leaving from Textel on the ship "Princess," bound for New Amsterdam. A patent of land in New Haarlem, on Manhattan Island, was given Resolved Waldron, and on it his grandson built a residence with bricks, which he had imported from Holland, calling the place "Waldron Hall, Horne Hook." This house stood until 1870, when it was demolished. Resolved Waldron and his brother bought a house and lot on Broadway, near to the present intersection with Wall Street, but they later removed to Haarlem. Resolved Waldron was admitted a Burgher, May 30, 1657, at which time he took the oath of fidelity.
"May 25, 1658, he was appointed deputy to the "schout fiscael" or attorney-general, and in 1660 the directors in Holland desired to make him sheriff of the Dutch Town on Long Island. Governor Stuyvesant, however, wrote them:
'Respecting the person Resolved Waldron, we may be permitted to remark that when appointed as a deputy to the fiscael, and as scout-by-nacht, in this city, he conducted himself with so much fidelity and vigilance that he gave to us and the magistrates great satisfaction so that his services both as respects the Company and the fiscael, can hardly be dispensed with, besides that he would not be so well fitted for the schrievalty of the said villages, as he cannot well wield his pen; wherefore till your further orders on this point, we shall ask his continuance in that office.'
"Resolved Waldron was employed in public errands in every part of the province, and in 1659, in company with Augustine Heermans, was sent to Maryland to vindicate the Dutch title on the Delaware River. After the conquest of New York by the English, he retired to private life at Haarlem, his sympathies being with the former government. His retirement was soon broken, however, and he was once again called to public office. He became constable, June 17, 1665; overseer, October 2, 1668; schout and schepen, August 23, 1673; and assessor, December 10, 1687. He also served as elder of the church.
"In the settlement of his estate most of his real property went to his son Samuel. The farms consisted of two and a half lots of land, lying upon Van Keulen's Hook. Samuel Waldron, by deed from his father, also received numbers three and four of the "New Lots," but he in turn deeded these to his brother [Johannes].")

The journey was hazardous and tense. Their small boat was leaky, almost sank, and had to be repaired with some old rags. Well knowing that Utie would try to stop their mission at all costs, they sailed stealthily past his residency on Bear's Island in Cheasepeake Bay. In near-panic they listened to the shots and military music that came over the water from the island, spotting about fifty men, who looked ready for instant action. Heerman and Waldron halted at St. Mary's, a little coastal town, where from the hosue of their Dutch host, Simon Overzee, they asked for an audience with Governor Fendall, who was residing at Patuxent. They also sent a protest, in which they pointed out that the Dutch had been at the Delaware since 1623 and that there had been no objection to their presence from Virginia and Maryland until Colonel Utie arrived in September with threats to take New Amstel 'by force of arms, fire and sword.'
"A week later they had a chance to go into greater detail. Philip Calvert, Lord Baltimore's half-brother and Fendall's secretary, sent them an invitation to come to Patuxent, where on the afternoon of October 6 Fendall and his Council, including Utie, welcomed the two Dutch envoys. After dinner Heerman and Waldron discovered that the Marylanders were not exactly well informed about the affair. They were under the impression that New Amstel was only a colony of Amsterdam and had nothing to do with the rest of New Netherland. Heerman protested and delivered a long speech, in which he went back to the days when the Netherlands were still under the rule of the Spanish, who, as the first discoverers of the New World, had given the Dutch in 1648 all the rights to such countries as had been conquered by them. This included New Netherland, of which New Amstel was a part.
"Utie was not impressed and angrily told his colleagues 'not to take notice at all of this matter . . . and that if again commanded, he would act in a like manner.' Heerman answered boldly that in that case he would be arrested 'as a disturber of the public peace.' This was too much for the choleric colonel, who demanded angrily whether he had to listen to these threats from people who had come uninvited. 'Had he met us or have known of our coming, he would have detained us there and then,' Heerman reported.
"The meeting broke up in confusion, but later in the day the two Dutch envoys heard that next morning they would be allowed to examine Lord Baltimore's patent as proof that he was the rightful owner of the Delaware. The rest of the evening was spent 'in private conversation' over a glass of wine. Both Heerman and Waldron got on very well with most of their neighbors, and found that the majority favored 'an intimate correspondence and confederation for the reciprocal trade and intercourse.' Even Fendall told Heerman that 'he would prefer to continue in peace and quietness than to live in hostility and war.'
"Next day the Marylanders had reason to regret showing their guests Baltimore's patent. Heerman at once pointed out that it gave the Baron specifically 'a tract of country in America which was neither cultivated nor planted but only inhabited, as yet, by barbarous Indians.' It was obvious to him that it had not been the King's intention to bother the Dutch. Nonsense, reported Fendall, the King had granted the patent 'with full knowledge of the case.' Impatiently he asked Heerman to show them the patent of New Netherland. 'We answered that we did not have it to show them, indeed our purpose in coming had been to prepare a way for a future meeting of deputies of both sides.'
"When the two Dutchmen were preparing to take their leave the following morning, Fendall handed them a protest at the Dutch intrusion on the Delaware, addressed to Governor Stuyvesant, and the debate started all over again. Heerman asked the governor if the Dutch would have to keep their army at New Amstel, and received the reply 'that we must please ourselves in this matter, as they for their part would act as they thought best . . . and in this manner terminated our meeting.'
"After breakfast the next day, Sunday, October 9, they could at last go. It was 'a friendly leave,' and Philip Calvert in particular went out of his way to reassure the Dutch envoys that nothing would happen until Lord Baltimore's instructions had been received. Back in St. Mary's, Heerman wrote out his report, with which Waldron returned to New Amsterdam, while he himself traveled on to find out if the Virginians were still as pro-Dutch as ever."

Page 305.- Petition of John De Decker of Amsterdam, late of the Councill in the service of the West India Company, for New Netherlands. Sheweth. That a little before your Royall Highness fleet appeared in New Netherlands, there were arrived two hundred negroes or more, to ye account of the Dutch West India Company, of which twenty were granted to your petitioner, by the Governor and Councill, on account of his monthly Sallary, and were accordingly received, and ten of them transfered by him to ye Fort Orange, now called Newe Albany, intending to sell them there, and leaving the other 10 in New York, (now so called) in custody of one Resolved Waldron to dyet and keepe them for your petitioner. The reduction of New York to your obedience happening in the mean time, one Thomas Delavall, whom your petitioner supposed to have been appointed by Colonel Richard Nicoll the Governor, seized these ten negroes as negroes belonging to the Dutch Company, but indeed were not so. The petitioner therefore implores the benefit of the Articles of Capitulation. Dated August 3, 1702. Witnesses, William Waldron, Leendert Huygens de Klein, Aert Ellettse. Proved, October 6, 1702.
Notes for Tanneke Nagels:
1 Riker, James, History of Harlem, New York: New York Publishing Company, pp. 316-317 ("[In 1674] [i]mpatient to see the English rule re-established, a few restless spirits in Westchester, who had already given the Dutch much annoyance, now began to bluster about the country venting their spleen on the Hollanders, and vaunting their loyalty to the king. Of these was Thomas Hunt, Jr., who having at first refused to take the oath of allegiance, and been ordered to leave the province, was, at his father's request, allowed to remain on accepting the oath and giving security for its observance. On Monday, November 5th, Hunt and five or six others came riding toward the village. Accosting Pierre Cresson, who was engaged fixing his fence, with a 'Howd'ye do,' to which he replied, 'So and so,' they passed on, falling in with a flock of geese, which they began to chase, heeding not Pierre's remonstrance to "let the geese alone.' At several houses in the village they stopped, demanding in an insolent manner feed for their horses, and bread and beer for themselves. Mrs. Tourneur told them she had nothing to give, but said, 'There is water; if you are thirsty, drink it.' Her daughter, Madeleine (Mrs. Dyckman), pertly added, 'If we had them we should not give them to you.' Finding Jan Nagel at his house, they called out, 'Here, give us oats for our horses; or else peas or wheat.' Nagel, not the one to be intimidated, answered, 'I have no oats; but peas and wheat are strange food for horses!' Said Hunt, 'I must and will have some, nevertheless.' Nagel repeated that he had none for him; whereupon Hunt asked 'Does not Waldron live here?' Nagel signified that he did. 'He does not,' replied Hunt, 'you know very well where he lives.' And, so saying, they rode on. Waldron was not at home; but his wife, Tanneke Nagel, like her namesake, showed a proper courage. 'Give us oats for our horses,' demanded Hunt; to which Mrs. Waldron replied, 'I have none.' 'Then give us peas or wheat,' said he. 'There are none threshed, and I cannot get any,' was the answer. With his usual oath, Hunt said, 'I will have some, threshed or unthreshed'; then adding, 'Or give us wine or rum; have you nothing for the king's soldier's?' 'I know no king's soldiers,' said the matron. 'I am a soldier of the king, by the blood of God,' said Hunt, striking his breast, 'and I shall and will have it! Is not your husband the Constable?' he further demanded. 'No,' said the spirited Tanneke, 'but my husband is the Schout of this town.' Venting curses upon Waldron, Hunt turned and left with his companions.
"Waldron entered a complaint to Governor Colve, and by his order the magistrates on the 7th held a court of inquiry upon the matter. But Hunt just escaped merited punishment, owing to an important event which happened only three days after, and of which the careful Vander Vin makes the following minute:
'1674, the 10th November, New, or 31st October, Old Style, was the fort Willem Hendrick again to the English governor yielded up, and the governor, A. Colve, with his people, therefrom departed; the fort again named Fort James, and the city, New York.'"

Notes for Lena Gardenier: The last child, Helena in 1779 being of Lena seems a little odd, since it would mean that Lena had children over a period of 34 years. It's possible, but more likely is that Helena was a daughter of Albartus or Johannes or even Barent Junior, who would have been 29, 27 and 25, respectively at the time of Helena's birth.

Notes for Jan Foshay/Forseur: Cole, Rev. David, Isaac Kool (Cool or Cole) and Catherine Serven, New York: John F. Trow & Son (1876), pp. 86-87:
Jan Forseur and Catharine, his wife, witness for three baptisms at Tappan: 31 May 1752, June 29, 1760 and 9 Feb 1768.
"And now we pass to another source of information: There is a will still in possession of the family drawn up by one John Forseur, who names in it his "wife Elizabeth." These parties also are found once on the regular baptismal record at Tappan, and again twice on the record of the irregular Tappan organization, under the dates Jan. 1, 1780, March 27, 1774, and Dec. 4, 1774, as witnesses at baptisms (children not known to be relatives). The will and the records are both alike silent as to the surname of this wife.
"Here, then, we have Jan Forseur and Catharine Waldron, 1752 to 1768, and Jan Forseur and Eelizabeth his wife in 1774.
"I have no doubt that this is the same Jan Forseur, twice married. And he is the father of Johannes Forseur, born jan. 15, 1733 (wife Magdalena Banta), at the baptism of whose first child John at Tappen, he and his "wife Catharine" appear as witnesses, June 29, 1760. The will of Jan Forseur (wife Elizabeth) above mentioned, reveals the fact that he lived in Harrington, Bergen County, N.J. It leaves his prorperty to his wife Elizabeth, his children -- Jane (wife of Daniel Perry), Peter, Barent, Johannes, and the children of his son William (deceased)."
