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.

He was raised by his mother and his stepfather, the Rev. Eilardus Westerlo, whom his mother married in 1775. His uncle, Abraham Ten Broeck, administered the van Rensselaer estate after van Rensselaer II's untimely death.
At an early age, van Rensselaer III was raised to succeed his father as lord of the manor.
On his 21st birthday, van Rensselaer took possession of his family's prestigious estate, close to 1,200 square miles (31,000 km²) in size, named Rensselaerswyck, and began a long tenure as lord of his family's manor.
He graduated from Harvard and spent time in state government and as a member of the U.S. Congress (1822-29). His chief services to the state, however, were economic and educational. He was a member of the Erie Canal commissions and president of the state's first board of agriculture. He was a lenient landlord for 3,000 tenants. He was founder and supporter of a wide variety of social, educational, business, and governmental institutions.
In 1824 it was his vision and support that enabled Amos Eaton to establish the Rensselaer School “for the purpose of instructing persons, who may choose to apply themselves, in the application of science to the common purposes of life.”
was Lieutenant Governor of New York as well as a statesman, soldier, and land-owner, the heir to one of the greatest estates in the New York region at the time, which made him the tenth richest American of all time, based on the ratio of his fortune to contemporary GDP.[2] He founded the institution which became Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He was the father of Henry Bell Van Rensselaer, who was a politician and general in the Union Army during the American Civil War.
