Zij waren in dec. 1650 gehuwd (Van Rensselaer Bowier manuscripts, blz. 841). Margaretha was een dochter van Brant Aertsz van Slichtenhorst uit Nijkerk (niet uit Nijmegen; de adoptie van Nijmegen door Albany in 1946 op grond van “historische” banden berust op een mystificatie!).
Filip Pietersen Schuyler
Margarita Van Slichtenhorst by Stefan Bielinski
Margarita Van Slichtenhorst was born at Nykerk in the Netherlands in 1628 - the daughter of Brant Van Slichtenhorst and Aeltje Van Wenkum. She came to New Netherland with her parents in 1647 and came of age in Rensselaerswyck where her father served as director of the colony.
In December 1650, she married Philip Pieterse Schuyler - an immigrant carpenter who, following the marriage, became one of the leading traders of Beverwyck/Albany. The marriage produced twelve children between 1652 and 1672. Eight of those offspring went on to establish the Schuyler family in Albany and beyond.
By the 1660s, these Schuylers were established in a new house on upper State Street. Before his death in 1683, Philip Pieterse had stretched the Schuyler family holdings by acquiring property around Albany and beyond.
A widow at age 55, by virtue of their joint will filed in 1683, Margarita Schuyler assumed control of her husband's extensive estate. From her Albany house and at the farm known as "the Flats," Margarita continued her husband's business and sat as the matriarch of early Albany's foremost family. Her children included Pieter Schuyler - first mayor of the city; Alida, the wife of Robert Livingston; and future mayor - Johannes Schuyler. Her other offspring established themselves in favored locations throughout the region. Margarita Van Slichenhorst Schuyler lived until 1711. For much of that time, she was one of colonial Albany's most prominent residents. This active widow participated in business, landholding, and was an active member of theDutch Church. Surrounded by family and supported by a number of slaves, this able women's life was full and advantaged.
Her will, filed in 1707, identified her as a "sometime...Albany merchant" and mentioned the real and personal estate she had acquired since the death of her husband. This seventy-nine-year-old widow had the presence of mind to circumvent English inheritance laws when she divided the Schuyler estate equally among her eight surviving children and their heirs. She died at age eighty-two on January 11, 1711.

campaigns against the French. Appointed (1760) governor at Montreal, he
went to New York in 1763 as commander-in-chief of the British forces. In
1774 he became governor of Massachusettes, where he attempted to quell
agitation and enforce the Intolerable Acts. It was gage who ordered the

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.

GRANDDAUGHTER OF ALEXANDER HAMILTON.
George Washington was her god-father.
He was the son of Brant Van Slichtenhorst - director of Rensselaerswyck and Aeltje van Wenckum Van Slichtenhorst. He may have come to New Netherland with his father in 1648.
His father returned to Holland about 1660 and Gerrit seems to have represented Van Slichtenhorst family interests in America after that. In that year, he was counted among the most prominent Beverwyck-based fur traders. In 1668, Gerrit also made a trip to the Netherlands to deal with his father's estate.
In 1672, he married Alida (Aeltie) Lansing. At that time, he was identified as a Schenectady magistrate and/or commissary. The marriage produced at least five children.
In 1679, his name was included on a census of Albany householders. In addition to a number of Albany parcels, he also owned property at Claverack.
Gerrit Van Slichtenhorst filed a will and died in Kingston in January 1684. His sister was the wife and widow of Philip Pieterse Schuyler. With Gerrit's passing, the Van Slichtenhorst family name dropped from Albany rolls.
vi. Nicholas Van Rensselaer, (Rev) was baptized in Amsterdam on September 14, 1636, and died in Albany in 1678. He was religious from childhood and shunned the family business. He curried favor with King Charles II and was appointed co-minister in Albany tho he never took the pulpit. He married Alida Schuyler when he was 39 and she was 19. They had no children. See more information at The People of Colonial Albany.
Born in Scotland in 1654, the fourteenth child of John Livingston and Janet Fleming, he followed his father, a refugee Calvinist minister, to the Netherlands in 1663. Considerably younger and not close to his siblings, young Robert grew up in Rotterdam learning the intricacies of business and trade and becoming fluent in both English and Dutch. By 1670, he was keeping his own Dutch-language account book. Following the death of his father, in 1673 Robert Livingston returned to Scotland and then sailed for Boston to find his fortune in America.
Following the death of his father in 1673, Robert Livingston returned to Scotland for a time. He sailed for Boston to find his fortune in North America. Livingston's father was well known in Puritan Boston, and a merchant advanced the young son enough stock and credit to undertake a trading venture to Albany, New York. Livingston arrived in Albany in late 1674. With his business and language skills, in August 1675 he became secretary to Nicholas Van Rensselaer, director of Rensselaerswyck, who died a few years later.
In 1679 Livingston married Van Rensselaer's widow, Alida Schuyler. She was the daughter of Philip Pieterse Schuyler, vice-director of Fort Orange, giving Livingston an important connection in the community. Robert Livingston amassed one of the largest fortunes in 17th-century New York
Many Americans are descended from the Livingston family, including George W. Bush, the entire Fish and Kean families, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, First Lady of New York Anna Morton, actors Montgomery Clift and Michael Douglas, actress Jane Wyatt, medical resident Asad Rizvi, poet Robert Lowell, cinematographer Floyd Crosby and his son David Crosby, author Wolcott Gibbs, and almost the entire Astor family

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.
