By the 1670s, Dirck Wesselse had entered public life - serving as an Albany constable, overseer, and juror. He was entrusted with a share of the community registry - acting as a clerk and notary. This successful businessman also was a frequent petitioner and plaintiff before an Albany court that was called on to decide on an expanding range of issues. In 1676, he was appointed one of the court magistrates. Over the next three decades Dirck Wesselse would hold almost every elective and appointive office on the local level. Official records show him to be among each body's most consistent members.
During the mid-1670s, his budding career received an added boost from an association with newcomer Robert Livingston - who shared some of his clerical and business opportunities with this willing and able Albany insider. Livingston included him in a number of land petitions that provided Dirck Wesselse with substantial acreage in the upriver region of New York.
By the 1680s, Dirck Wesselse had emerged as one of the foremost Albany leaders. In 1683, he was chosen to represent Albany County in a provincial assembly called by Governor Thomas Dongan. Although that body was short-lived, in 1686, he was appointed an alderman under the new city charter. Shortly thereafter, he was called on to replace Isaac Swinton as recorder or deputy mayor. He served as recorder until 1696, when he was appointed mayor of Albany.
Dirck Wesselse stood with other established Albanians to resist the self-imposed leadership of Jacob Leisler during the politically uncertain years of 1689 to 1691. With mayor Pieter Schuyler pre-occupied with military matters, deputy mayor Wesselse held fast to Albany's charter against the claims of Leisler's lieutenant who claimed that it and all enactments of the now-deposed James II were illegal and void.
Over the next half decade, Dirck Wesselse served in the Albany municipal government as recorder, justice, and Indian Commissioner, and, from 1696 to 1698, as mayor of Albany. In 1691, he was chosen to represent Albany County in the provincial Assembly - which was reinstituted after New York became a royal province. He was re-elected annually and served until 1696. Following a four-year break, in 1701, Dirck Wesselse again was elected to the Assembly. But this time he was disqualified and refused admittance because he no longer resided in Albany. Although he still maintained a substantial home and held other property in the city, by that time he had relocated to his country estate on the Roeloff Jansen Kil. Although his ouster was politically motivated, it ended the public career of the sixty-three-year-old pioneer. After 1701, Dirck Wesselse is best characterized as a country landholder.
During the 1690s, he had purchased 1800 acres on the Roeloff Jansen Kil from Robert Livingston. Livingston's willingness to share some of the best land in the heart of the Livingston estate with Dirck Wesselse testifiies to the closeness of their relationship. In 1695, Wesselse built a country home or bouwerie on the property. He continued to improve that property and, with his large family, retired there by the early decades of the eighteenth century. By that time, sons Wessel and then Johannes had reached maturity and could take over his more demanding Albany-based enterprises.
Calling himself "late of Albany, but now of the Manor of Livingston," Dirck Wesselse made his will early in 1715. It named his wife and eleven surviving children in detailing the disposition of his large and diffused estate. This city father died on his bouwerie on September 18, 1717 at the age of eighty.

Mayor of the city Albany NY
Abraham Ten Broeck is probably the most prominent member of the Ten Broeck family dating back to the early years of New Netherland. His father, Dirck Ten Broeck, was mayor of Albany from 1746 to1748, and previous to that had been active in civic government. His father was also a successful Albany businessman and had accumulated considerable family assets.
Abraham had decided to follow in his father’s footsteps and become a businessman working in his father’s business ventures. However, in 1751, Abraham’s father passed away and the family decided to send Abraham to Europe to broaden his education, to learn about international business, and to absorb continental culture. So when Abraham was only 17 years old, in 1751, he went to Europe for a year. Upon his return, in 1752, he took over his father’s business interests, and continued to live with his mother in the family mansion. By the mid-1760’s, Abraham had been able to further develop the various businesses he had inherited, and he had become one of Albany’s wealthiest businessmen.
In 1763, Abraham married Elizabeth Van Rensselaer, the only daughter of the then Rensselaerswyck patroon, General Stephen Van Rensselaer. The couple had five children, all born between 1765 and 1779. The Ten Broeck’s, based on the combined wealth of each partner, became one of the wealthiest families, not only in Albany, but also in all of New Netherland.
In 1979, Abraham’s brother in law, Stephen Van Rensselaer, passed away, and left no heir old enough to manage the huge Van Rensselaerswyck estate. Abraham was named co-administrator of the estate for a period of five years, until his young nephew, the future patroon, came of age in 1784. Abraham proved out to be an able administrator of the Rensselaerswyck estate, signing up many new tenants, both local ones but also new immigrants from abroad.
Abraham also followed in his father’s footsteps in the political and governance area. In 1759, he was elected to the Albany city council. The following year, in 1760, he was elected to represent Rensselaerswyck in the provincial assembly, a colonial assembly. He served in the provincial assembly until 1775, when it was dissolved at the beginning of the American Independence movement. During his tenure, he was a proponent of American rights over English prerogatives. Ten Broek also followed in his father’s footsteps in terms of the governance of his home town. He was appointed mayor of Albany in 1779, upon the death of the then mayor, John Barclay, and served as mayor until 1783. In 1796 he was again appointed mayor upon the death of Abraham Yates, Jr., and served until 1798.
Abraham Ten Broeck was also actively involved in the local militia. Since the 1750’s, he held commissions in the provincial militia, during the colonial period. In 1775, he was Colonel of the Albany County Militia, and rose through the ranks, until he reached the rank of Brigadier General of the Militia.
Abraham Ten Broeck and his wife Elizabeth Van Rensselaer built a beautiful home, their mansion. The Ten Broeck’s named their mansion, built in 1798, “Prospect”. The mansion was located on the Hudson River and had a sweeping view of the river. In 1848, the mansion was purchased by Theodore Olcott, who renamed it, “Arbor Hill”. Exactly 100 years later, in 1948, the mansion was presented by the heirs of Robert Olcott to the Albany County Historical Association, and was renamed the “Ten Broeck Mansion”.
Abraham Ten Broeck passed away on January 19, 1810 in his 75th year. His wife Elizabeth followed him in death in 1813. The city of Albany had lost a couple of prominent citizens who contributed much to the community.

Cornelius D. was killed by a negro, who mistook him for his son, whom he meant to kill.
Cornelius D. was appointed Major of the Third Regiment, June 30, 1775, under Colonel James Clinton, raised in Ulster and Dutchess Counties. He was promoted to the Lieutenant-Colonelcy of the same regiment, August 2, 1775, and was ordered to muster the companies of Captains Hasbrouck and Brown. He was made Colonel April 11, 1776. He was one of the Associators of Hurley July 6, 1775. A list of officers of his regiment is given in Force's American Archives.
Samuel, through the bequest of his father, inherited his portion of the estate in lands that were part of the bouwerie on the Roelf 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 April 23, 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 24, 1717, relating to certain grants on the south of the Roelof Jansen Kil, it was all annexed to Albany County. Thus it remained 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 and his younger brother, Johannes, married sisters, Samuel and Maria being married in the "two steeple" church of Albany. They were of notable 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 Orange: William of Nassau, Sovereign Count of the States of Holland and Zeeland.
Jeremiah's will was made at Hudson, New York, on February 4, 1801. It was proved in 1806, one of the witnesses being Abraham Ten Broeck, Justice of the Peace in Columbia County.
