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.

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.

Arriveerde in Nieuw Amsterdam on 1642. Inwoner van Beverwijck in 1658...
Pieter Janse Loockermans, native of Turnhout, province of Antwerp, Belgium, was in New Amsterdam as early as 1642. He had brothers, Govert and Jacob, and had married Maritje ?. In his marriage contract, dated Apr. 19, 1664, Willem Teller names his living children by his first wife, Margariet Donckesen, and appoints as guardians, Hon. Sander Leendertse Glen and Pieter Janse Loockermans, uncles of said children
Loockermans is in Frankrijk geboren en was 13 jaar toen zijn ouders zich in Turnhout vestigden.
Govert en zijn zus Anna en broer waren Protestant en moesten Turnhout ontvluchten, eerst naar Holland en daarna naar Nieuw Amsterdam. Zij zijn de voorouders van illustere Amerikanen als Theodore en Franklin Roosevelt.
Edwin R.Purple.
GOVERT LOOCKERMANS, the most noted of his family, was born at Turnhout, a town in the Netherlands, and came to New Amsterdam in April, 1633. It appears he left Holland with Director General Wouter Van Twiller in the ship Soutberg, which captured on her voyage a Spanish caravel, the St. Martin, to which vessel he was transferred, and which was brought safely into port. With him came Jacob Wolfertsen (Van Couwenhoven), whose first wife, Hester Jans, was a sister of Loockerman's first wife. Upon his arrival he was taken into the service of the West India Company, as clerk, but he soon left this employment and engaged in business on his own account.
In 1640 he went back to Holland, where he married 1st, in Amsterdam, Feb. 26, 1641, Ariaentje Jans, with whom he returned to New Amsterdam in the ship King David, Job Arentsen, Master, arriving here Nov. 29, 1641.
In 1666 he became a resident of Long Island in the vicinity of New Utrecht.
On the 13th of July, 1670, he was commissioned Lieutenant of a company of foot in New York, and probably died late in the autumn of that year
Olof Stephenszen Van Cortlandt came to New Amsterdam in the. ship Haring in 1637, a soldier in the West India Company's Service. He was promoted by Gov. Kieft, and in July, 1639, appointed Commissary of Cargoes, at a salary of thirty guilders ($12) per month. In 1645 was elected one of the Board of Eight men to adopt measures against the Indians, and in 1649, one of the Board of Nine men, of which body the following year he was President. He was elected Schepen of the City in 1654, and in 1655 was advanced to the higher position of Burgomaster, an office he held during the years 1656-58-59, 1662-63 and 1665. He was Alderman in 1666-67, 71, and succeeded Mr. Isaac Bedlow, upon the death of that gentleman, in the same office in 1673. His place of residence was in the Brouwer Straat, now Stone Street, where he was also engaged in business as a Brewer, in which occupation he became wealthy. "He had the character of being a worthy citizen and a man most liberal in his charities." He died April 4, 1684, having survived his wife about a year.

William Teller, born 1620, was the son of a minister of distinction — which may account for the pulpit design in the Coat of Arms of the Teller Family published in Helmes Wappenbuch in Nuremburg in 1700.
He was the first of the family in this country. He went from Edinburgh, Scotland, to Holland, served with the Dutch East India Company, and came to New Netherlands, landing at New Amsterdam in 1636, where he settled and later became a merchant. Pearson’s First Settlers (See below.) says in a deposition given July 6, 1698, that William Teller was sent in the year 1639 to Fort Orange by Gov. Kieft, served as corporal, later advanced to Wacht-Meister of the Fort, sergeant of cavalry. He continued his residence there from 1639 to 1692 with small intermissions of voyages to New York and Delaware and one short voyage to Holland.
He was a teacher for about fifty years in Albany, one of the early aldermen, and a Justice of the Peace. He moved to New York with his two sons, William and Jacob, and died there in 1701.
Plan of Schenectady about 1750In his Will, he mentions six of his nine children. In 1662 he was one of the early proprietors of Schenectady, a tract embracing 80,000 acres in the Mohawk Valley. He was one of the five patentees mentioned in the first patent of the town in 1684, (See below.) but never resided there. He endowed the Dutch Church with a fund sufficient for its maintenance and his Coat of Arms was painted on one of the windows, as was the custom (in 1657.) This and other windows were donated by the Commissionaires and Magistrates. “Munsell’s Collection of Albany History” gives a description of these windows, the bell and pulpit brought from Holland. The Church was destroyed by fire. William Teller’s first wife was Margaret Duncassen, the name Margaret has been carried down in successive generations (no record of marriage date but was named as his wife in Court records of 1641-2.) She died prior to 1664 when he married Maria Vableth, widow of Paulin Schwick.

Cornelis Bogardus was baptized in New Amsterdam Reformed Dutch Church on September 9, 1640, and died in Beverwyck, New York (now Albany), before May 6, 1666. He married Helen Teller, a daughter of William Teller of Albany. They resided in Albany. His personal estate was sold by public vendue in the same year, and the proceeds amounted to 2015 guilders, a large sum for the time. He was a gunsmith. He left one son: 1. Cornelis Bogardus, bp. Sep. 9, 1640; d. Oct. 13, 1707 His descendants were the first contestants for a portion of the grant of Trinity Church.
William Teller, Jr., born 1657, was supervisor of farms in Renslearwyck. He married Rachel Kierstede November 19, 1686. She was the daughter of Dr. Hans Kierstede, who came to this country from Magdeburg, in 1633, and was the earliest practicing physician, apothecary, and surgeon in the province. Her mother was Sara Roeloff, daughter of Anneke Webber Jans, whose father, Prince Wolfert Webber (a cousin of Queen Anne) bequeathed by Will, dated 1664, valuable holdings in Holland, Dutch Borneo, and New Amsterdam, to the ninth generation of her descendants. This promise of untold wealth lured many of her descendants to make a vain attempt to gain this inheritance. William, Jr. speaks of it in his Will, also William, Jr’s son.

William Teller, born 1620, was the son of a minister of distinction — which may account for the pulpit design in the Coat of Arms of the Teller Family published in Helmes Wappenbuch in Nuremburg in 1700.
He was the first of the family in this country. He went from Edinburgh, Scotland, to Holland, served with the Dutch East India Company, and came to New Netherlands, landing at New Amsterdam in 1636, where he settled and later became a merchant. Pearson’s First Settlers (See below.) says in a deposition given July 6, 1698, that William Teller was sent in the year 1639 to Fort Orange by Gov. Kieft, served as corporal, later advanced to Wacht-Meister of the Fort, sergeant of cavalry. He continued his residence there from 1639 to 1692 with small intermissions of voyages to New York and Delaware and one short voyage to Holland.
He was a teacher for about fifty years in Albany, one of the early aldermen, and a Justice of the Peace. He moved to New York with his two sons, William and Jacob, and died there in 1701.
Plan of Schenectady about 1750In his Will, he mentions six of his nine children. In 1662 he was one of the early proprietors of Schenectady, a tract embracing 80,000 acres in the Mohawk Valley. He was one of the five patentees mentioned in the first patent of the town in 1684, (See below.) but never resided there. He endowed the Dutch Church with a fund sufficient for its maintenance and his Coat of Arms was painted on one of the windows, as was the custom (in 1657.) This and other windows were donated by the Commissionaires and Magistrates. “Munsell’s Collection of Albany History” gives a description of these windows, the bell and pulpit brought from Holland. The Church was destroyed by fire. William Teller’s first wife was Margaret Duncassen, the name Margaret has been carried down in successive generations (no record of marriage date but was named as his wife in Court records of 1641-2.) She died prior to 1664 when he married Maria Vableth, widow of Paulin Schwick.
