Inhabitants of New York in Year 1664 by Gloria Waldron Hukle

Gloria Waldron Hukle asks, "Can you trace your family ancestry back to 1600s New York? Is Your ancestor listed below?" From New York Colonial Manuscripts -Listed A-Z here is a great back -look into Manhattan history.

Note:  Many residents refused to live under English rule and left New York.  Some went back to Holland or another area as did Augustine Herrman who established himself and his family in Maryland. But many others stayed ( such as Resolved/Resolveert Waldron who ultimately established his large family at his farm at New Harlem) Thousands upon thousands of descendants of early New Netherland remain today within the United States of America.
