Korte biografie van Kiliaen van Rensselaer http://stuyvesant.library.uu.nl/kaarten/toetessay.htm
Vader Hendrik van Rensselaer was evenals diens tweelingbroer Johan, hopman in het Staatse leger. Hij was in 1580 gelegerd in het Overijsselse Hasselt toen zijn vrouw, Maria Pafraet, het leven schonk aan een zoon. Hij was hun derde kind[3] en werd naar zijn grootvader Kiliaen genoemd. De vroege jeugd van Kiliaen zal waarschijnlijk mede bepaald zijn geweest door het beroep van zijn vader, maar daarover zijn geen gegevens beschikbaar. Hendrik sneuvelde in 1602 bij het beleg van Oostende. Later zou Kiliaen hem en Johan die een jaar eerder dan zijn tweelingbroer in zijn garnizoen in Deventer was overleden bijzetten in een grafkelder in de kerk te Nijkerk, gedekt met een met de familiewapens verrijkte grafzerk.[4]
Op jonge leeftijd, waarschijnlijk nog tijdens het leven van zijn vader, kwam Kiliaen als koopmansdienaer in dienst bij zijn oom, de Amsterdamse juwelier Wolfert van Byler Wynantszoon, afkomstig uit Barneveld.[5] Voor hem bereisde Kiliaen een groot deel van Europa en bezocht ook de vorstenhoven oostelijk van de Rijn. In 1608 ging hij naar het hof te Praag om er juwelen te verhandelen. Van die reis dateert zijn oudste bewaard gebleven rapport dat ook informatie bevat over de politieke situatie aldaar.[6]
Toen Van Byler zich uit de zaken terugtrok, richtte Kiliaen met een compagnon het handelshuis Kiliaen van Rensselaer en Co. op.[7] In 1614 werd dit huis verenigd met dat van Johan van Wely (een neef zusterszoon - van Wolfert) tot de firma Jan van Wely en Co.
In 1616 trouwde Kiliaen met Hillegond van Byler, een nicht van en ook erfgename van Wolfert.[8] Zij kregen twee zonen: Hendrik, die al vroeg overleed en Johan, in 1625 geboren, die na de dood van zijn vader patroon van Rensselaerswijck zou worden. In zijn huwelijksjaar bouwde Kiliaen een nieuw huis aan de pas gegraven Keizersgracht te Amsterdam.
In januari 1616 werd Johan van Wely in Den Haag vermoord.[9] Kiliaen diende de termijn van het met hem gesloten contract uit en vestigde zich in 1620 in Amsterdam als onafhankelijk makelaar in juwelen en edele metalen. In hetzelfde jaar begon hij heidevelden in het Gooi te ontginnen ten behoeve van de landbouw (hij kocht er in 1628 ook het landgoed Crailo). Zijn voorkeur voor de landbouw moet ongetwijfeld in verband worden gebracht met de traditie van zijn voorouders, die hoogstwaarschijnlijk boeren waren op de Veluwe, op de hoeve de Rensselaer .[10]
Bij de oprichting van de West-Indische Compagnie in 1621werd Kiliaen daarin hoofdparticipant, bewindhebber van de Kamer van Amsterdam van de WIC en namens die Kamer bewindhebber van de WIC zelf. De Amsterdamse kamer werd belast met het beheer van Nieuw Nederland. Kiliaen maakte deel uit van de daartoe gevormde aparte commissie en had een groot aandeel in de besluitvorming.
Eind 1626 overleed zijn echtgenote Hillegond en in 1627 hertrouwde hij met Anna van Wely, dochter van zijn voormalige compagnon Johan. Zij schonk hem vier zoons en vier dochters. Drie van de zoons, Jan Baptist, Jeremias en Ryckaert, werden later directeur van Rensselaerswijck en de vierde, Nicolaas, werd predikant, ten laatste te Albany.
In 1629 stelde de WIC de Vrijheden en Exemptiën vast. Deze bevatten de basisregels voor het stichten van een particuliere nederzetting (patroonschap) in Nieuw-Nederland. Kiliaen meldde zich terstond aan als patroon voor een kolonie ten noorden van Nieuw Amsterdam aan de Noordrivier (thans Hudson River). Hij kocht er land van de indianen en ging een samenwerkingsverband aan met zijn medebewindhebbers Burg, Blommaert en Godijn. In 1631 trad hij af als bewindhebber van de Amsterdamse Kamer van de WIC en wijdde zich vanuit Amsterdam aan de verdere ontwikkeling van de nieuwe kolonie, naar hem Rensselaerswijck genaamd.

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.

He was founder and supporter of a wide variety of social, educational, business, and governmental institutions.

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.
Their nine children were baptized in the Albany Dutch church between 1718 and 1736. During the early 1740s, they built a country home on the east side of the Hudson. The retreat was within Rensselaerswyck and was called "Wolvenhook". See more information at The People of Colonial Albany
A member of one of New York's great landed families, was an American
general in the American Revolution. During the French and Indian War
(1754-63) he fought in the militia and attained the rank of major. He
represented Albany in the New York legislature (1768-75) and was a member
of the Continental Congress (1775-7 and 1778-81).
Named one of the four major generals in the Continental Army in June 1775,
he was placed in command of the northern army in New York. General Horatio
Gates claimed precedence over Schuyler as commander of the northern army
early in 1777, and the resulting contoversy was taken up in Congress.
Schuyler, meanwhile, had taken effective steps to halt the Bristish
invasion from Canada led by General John Burgoyne. When one of Schuyler's
subordinates abandoned Fort Ticonderoga in July 1777 without firing a
shot, Schuyler was accused of negligence and replaced by Gates in August.
Schuyler demanded a court-martial and was acquitted (1778) of all charges,
but he resigned from the army in April 1779.
An important political figure after the war, Schuyler helped secure New
York's ratification of the U.S. Constitution in 1788. He served in the
U.S. Senate (1789-91 and 1797-8) and was a political ally of his
son-in-law, Alexander Hamilton.

In oktober 1664, was hij onder de mannen die de eed van trouw zwoer aan de Engelse Duke of York.
Hij bezat de "farm at the Flats" dat later werd verkocht aan de Schuyler familie in 1670 or 1672.
Hij was een geboren zakenman en beheerde de familiebezittingen in de Hudson Valley. In de historie van Albany is veel terug te vinden van zijn optreden en correspondentie met de weduwe van zij broer Jeremias Van Rensselaer.

Jeremias ws de laatste mannelijk Rensselaer. Bij zijn overlijden liet hij al zijn bezittingen na aan zijn vrouw en daarna zijn familieleden in Amerika aangezien hij van mening was dat er geen erfgenamen meer in Nederland waren. Hij wist blijkbaar niet dat de kinderen van Jan Bowier en Johanna Jacoba van Rensselaer, bij Koninklijk besluit, de naam "van Holland Rensselaer Bowier" mochten voeren.
