Manhattan Beginnings 1600s
"It is said that some 60 percent of Americans have roots in New York State"
This map dated 1695 was found in the Book:
In Olde New York. The map was on the fold of the page. A Leg of the Waldron Family moved from Old Manhattan to Harlem, then in 1699 Pieter the grandson of Resolved Waldron to Albany
Central Park
Central Park is in place and shows both the Old Reservoirand the much larger New Reservoir
Property owners along the Hudson River and Kings Bridge Road such as Richards, J. G. Bennett, Poole, G.B. Butler, Dashwood, are clearly defined as well as scores of others along the Harlem River, many of them such as Dyckman and Van Nest familiar as they are descendants of Resolved Waldron.
From the research of Gerry Swentzel of Florida we are told that Samual Waldron property is at lllth St. between lst and 3rd, R. Waldron is listed between 84th and 86th between lst and 3rd St.
Roosevelt?s Island (Previously known as Welfare Island) located in the East River was first known as Blackwell?s Island which is how Rogers lists the long narrow piece of land where he aptly shows the Alms Houses, a Work House, Lunatic Asylum, and a Hospital.
Manhattanville, Mott Haven, Highbridgeville, Morrisania, West Morrisania, Tremont and so many others . Just fascinating.
