Bleecker Family Book

1. Jan Jansen Bleecker b. 9 Jul 1641, Meppel, Drenthe, Holland,1 m. 2 Jan 1667, in Albany, NY; Dutch Reformed Church,2 Margrietje Rutgerse Van Schoendenwoert, b. 16 Sep 1647, Albany, NY,2 (daughter of Rutger Jacobsen Van Schoendenwoert and Tryntje Janszen Van Breestede) d. 26 Oct 1733, Albany, NY,2 buried 29 Oct 1733, Albany, NY; Dutch Reformed Church.2 Jan died 21 Nov 1732, Albany, NY,2 buried 24 Nov 1732, Albany, NY; Dutch Reformed Church.2

It is believed Jan Jansen was the only Bleecker emigrant to America and anyone with the last name is descended from him. He is said to have made his way to Fort Orange, Beverwyck (later Albany) from Holland in 1658. He came from a tiny town known as Meppel in the district of Drenth (it is often incorrectly placed in Overyssal), The Netherlands. However, there are no records of him there and there has been no proof of who his parents were. There is a record however of his marriage to Margaret, the daughter of a prominent family in the town. The ceremony took place in the small wooden Reformed Protestant Dutch church. It was at the corner of Broadway and State St.'s. No doubt Jan performed the trade many of the early Dutch did, fur trader. But he also was heavily involved in town's affairs. After the British take-over of New Netherlands in 1664, the fur-trading outpost became known as Albany. Jan was named as one of the town's first alderman and was named in Albany's founding Charter of 1686. In it he is called the Chamberlain (or Treasurer). The original, signed by James II (???) still hangs in Albany. His first land record in Albany in 1672. In 1691 Jan is appointed Indian Commissioner for three years. He was known as a Captain in the Indian Wars of 1689 (known as King William's War when the French used Indian help to attack English outposts in hoped of controlling trade). In 1696, Jan was made the recorder of the town, the next followed by the job of Justice of the Peace. Part of his duties were to administer to the soldiers the oath of allegiance to William and Mary (William III or William of Orange) He was then appointed the Provincial Assembly the next year and finally reached the level of mayor in 1700. The Earl of Bellomont, the British governor of New York who was put in place by William in 1698, appointed Jan. Jan remained in the post for two terms of one year each (which appears to have been customary), when his son John replaced him. Being one of the leaders of the community meant many different responsibilities. One of the more harsh was quoted in early records: "Nan, a negress.... slave of Johanis Wendell, found guilty and sentenced to 20 lashes over a period of 10 days... It having been adjudged that the said Negro woman called 'Nan' is guilty of the crime charged against her; she shall, therefore, within the space of 10 days, be whipped behind a cart, on the naked back, twenty lashes, around the city at the following places..." Jan Jansen's house was the eighth location and his son 'Johs' was the ninth. Jan established his home and several properties at what is today the intersection of Maiden Lane and Chapel St., starting at North Pearl St. and heading eastwards. Several of his children lived there for many years after his death. Jan and son's Johannis and 'Nicos:' are listed in Albany's Second Ward in the city's 1720 Census which listed freeholders. He also invested in property, the most important land insuring years later that his name would be a footnote in American history. Along with prominent New York citizens Philip Schuyler, David Schuyler, Johannes Wendell, Dirck Wessels, Cornelis Van Dyck and Robert Livingston, he invested in the "Sarachtogie" (Saratoga) patent in 1683. It was made up of woods and fertile land stretching 22 miles north and south by 12 miles east and west, north of Albany. The tract was on

both sides of the Hudson River (much of present-day Saratoga County incorporates the patent). Two years later the property was split up to ensure that the children of these men would receive proper shares. Lot #11 went to Jan Jansen. It was this land that 92 years later was the sight of the famous Battle of Saratago, which saw the first major loss for the British forces in the Revolution. This kept the Hudson Valley out of the hands of the enemy and helped to convince the French that the Americans would be a viable ally. He is credited with continuing the family Bible record, started by his father-in-law, which is supposed to still exist (a photocopy of an English translation is in the New York Historical Society). It includes his passing as well: "...Tuesday morning between 10 and 11 o'clock our worthy father Jan Janz Bleecker departed this life age 90 years, 3 months and 12 days after a sickness of about 13 days and was buried on the 24th in our Low Dutch Church." It is not known exactly where he is buried. It has been written in the past that there was no Will for Jan, or that none was found. However, there are photocopies of his Will in Dutch and English in the hands of many descendants. In it he mentioned his wife "Margaretha Bleecker" and children "Johannes B., Hendrik B., Raghel B., Rutger B., Nicolaas B., Katharina, wife of Abraham Cuyler, Jannetje, widow of Johannes Glen, Margaretha, the wife of Hendrik Ten Eyck..." The translation is hard to read, but the following seems to have been his wishes: to give his wife all of his estate as long as she lived. Then, after her death, his land at Saratoga equally among the eight children, plus the land he had which was part of the Westernhook Patent. Johannes was to receive the garden Jan had "westerly of the old Fort I acquired of Jan Byvank..." He gave Hendrik the house and lot and other land around it in Albany. He wrote that Raghel had the right to still live there while she remained unmarried. She also received land "without the North Gate..." and sixty pounds. Henrick was given the horses, tools and the shed Jan had. Finally, his four sons were made executors. There are no dates on these translations. Finally, he made his wife executrix and his four sons in charge after she died. Margrietje: The Bleecker family Bible record has ner name at birth as "Grietjen" and when married as "Margaerittae Jacobsen." She is called "Grietjen" in the entry upon her death: "...our worthy mother...departed this life, age 86 yrs. 1 month and 26 days-after having for 8 or 10 days been afflicted with a pain in her breast ...which became so severe that she died... During all which time she was fully resigned with a well-grounded reliance upon God...She was buried on the 29th in our low Dutch Church by the side of our worthy deceased father."

Children: 2. i Johannes Bleecker b. 2 May 1668. 3. ii Caatje Bleecker b. 2 May 1670. 4. iii Jannetje Bleecker b. 2 Jan 1673. 5. iv Rutger Jansen Bleecker b. 13 May 1675. v Nicaelas Bleecker b. 9 Dec 1677, Albany, NY,2 baptized 16 Dec 1677, Albany, NY,2

d. 1 Jan 1751,3 buried Albany, NY; Dutch Reformed Church.2 He was born as "Nicaelas" according to the Bleecker family Bible record. He was "Nicklas" in the Bible when he died. It says he was buried at "...the Low Dutch Church next to the seats of the Elders." Nicholas, Henry and their sister Rachael all lived in their father's house in Albany. He and 'Hendrick' are mentioned in the will of their brother Rutger. He may have been Commissioner of Indian Affairs at one point. He is probably the Nicholas Bleecker who made a freeman of Albany Ward 2 in 1720.

6. vi Margaerittae Bleecker b. 8 Mar 1680. vii Maeriae (1) Bleecker b. 2 Mar 1683, Albany, NY,2 baptized 4 Mar 1683, Albany,

NY,2 d. 18 May 1690, Albany, NY.4 Her birth prompted the following entry in the

Family Bible record; "...at 4 o'clock my wife was again delivered of her 7th child being our fourth daughter and baptized on the 4th Maeriae."

viii Henderyck Bleecker b. 7 Apr 1686, Albany, NY,2 baptized 11 Apr 1686, Albany, NY,2 d. 22 Dec 1767, Albany, NY,2 buried 24 Dec 1767, Albany, NY; Dutch Reformed Church.2 He was baptized "Henderyck" as "...the fourth son being out 8th child..." which is the entry in the Bleecker family Bible record. He was unmarried. The death notice in the Bible reads: "...our worthy Uncle Hendrick Bleecker departed this life after a tedious and distressing indisposition of some years. He was in the 82 years of his age and was buried in the Low Dutch Church on the 24th ditto on Thursday before Christmas." Henry lived in his father's house along with Nicholas and Rachel.

ix Rachael Bleecker b. 12 Nov 1688, Albany, NY,2 baptized 14 Nov 1688, Albany, NY,2 d. 10 Aug 1766, Albany, NY,2 buried 11 Aug 1766, Albany, NY; Dutch Reformed Church.2 She was the "...9th child being our 5th daughter..." wrote her father in the Bleecker family Bible record. When she died, in 1766, her entry is the first to have been written by the next generation: "Our worthy Aunt Rachael Bleecker departed this life age 77 years 10 mos. and 2 days and was buried Monday the 11th about 5 o'clock... in the Low Dutch Church. She lies at very near the place where she used to sit." She lived in her father's house with her brother's Nicholas and Henry.

x Maeriae (2) Bleecker b. 6 Feb 1692, Albany, NY,5 baptized 7 Feb 1692, Albany, NY,1 d. 9 Jul 1693, Albany, NY.6 She is not in the Bleecker family Bible record. However, it does skip from 1688 to 1706. Dirck Bleeker 's research has her death as 9 April 1693.

Second Generation

2. Johannes Bleecker (1.Jan1) b. 2 May 1668, Albany, NY,1 m. 29 Oct 1693, in Albany, NY,7 Annetje Coster, (daughter of Hendrick Coster and Geertje Goosense Van Schaick) d. 25 Apr 1766, of Albany, NY.2 Johannes died 20 Dec 1738, Albany, NY,8 buried 23 Dec 1738, Albany, NY; Dutch Reformed Church.7 He was named "Johannis" in the Bleecker family Bible record, which states he was born "between the 1st and 2nd of May new style, about 3 o'clock at night." (New style would have meant using the Gregorian Calendar, which the English did not adopt until 1752). Johannes was Commissioner of Indian Affairs in 1696 and recorder in 1700 when his father was mayor. Johannes succeeded him as mayor, serving in 1701 and 1702. His death notice in the family Bible says he was buried "...in our Low Dutch Church next to his sister Cathrine Cuyler."

(emailed to me in July 2000:) Notes for Honorable Johannes (John) Bleecker: John Bleecker was born in Albany in 1668 and died here in December, 1738. He was one of the leading men of the city, and, like his father, served as Mayor. This elder son of Jan Jansen Bleecker was noted for his ability to converse in the Indian dialects, and he was probably one of the first person to be "kidnappeddllin (kidnapped)" in this country. While on a trading expedition among the Indians, envious French colonists captured him and carried him off to Canada in 1686. It was not until a substantial ransom was paid that he was returned to Albany October 23, 1687. 8th Mayor elected 1701/2 Albany, N.Y. John Bleecker married on October 29, 1693, in Albany, Anna Coster daughter of Hendrick Coster. 1686-87 Interpreter to Indians 1700 Recorder 1701-2 Member General Asembly 1720 Freeholder List, Albany 9/11/1686 Left home for Schenectady 9/18/1686 Left Schenectady to go to the Mohawk Indians as interpreter May 1687 Captured at Ottawa by the Frenchg, taken to Quebec 1720 Owned a lot, on the west corner of N.

The Bible entry for Henry's death is interesting: "...departed this life in the Seneca's county of a disentary and fever, and was buried there on the 22nd ditto in a board chest, by Andries Nackys and Company." But there is no year attached to it.

Using the old Julian calendar, Sunday was actually May 2nd. Her death was omitted in the Bible, yet it was noted later that her brother Johannes was buried next to her in the Low Dutch Church (1738) and then noted "Cathrine Cuyler departed this life age 63 yrs and 11 months..." Abraham: It is said Abraham died and was buried on the same day. He is listed in the June 1697 "List of Head of Household" for Albany with one woman and three children. He is also listed as a freeholder in the city's Second Ward for Albany's 1720 Census. On source says he came to New Amsterdam in 1664.

She is called "Jannitie Glen" in the Bible when she died "...age 82 years and 12 days and was buried in our Low Dutch Church next to Elizabeth Carlaers." Johannes: He died "...after a sickness of 8 days..." according to an entry in the Bleecker family Bible record. However, his name is not mentioned by the writer. Added later is "...Johannes Glen, husband of Jannitjen Bleecker."

Children: i Cathrine Glen b. Albany, NY ?, m. 10 Dec 1727, in Albany, NY,2 Johannes Cuyler.

They were married at her grandfather Bleecker's house, according to his entry in the family Bible record. Johannes: Might he be the same Johannes Cuyler already in these files?

ii John Glen b. Feb 1706, d. 24 Mar 1770,2 buried Albany, NY; Dutch Reformed Church.2 He is only known to me through his unusual death notice in the Bleecker family Bible. The last entry as far as I know. After mentioning "...our worthy Uncle John Glen departed this life age 64 years and 1 month and is buried in the Low Dutch Church..." it reads: "after a long suffering of 6 months and some days occasioned by an ulcer in his bladder from which was discharged an extra- ordinary quanity of matter with his water..." Oh, well.

5. Rutger Jansen Bleecker (1.Jan1) b. 13 May 1675, Albany, NY,2 baptized 16 May 1675, Albany, NY; Dutch Reformed Church,2 Occupation: Fur trader/Merchant,17 m. 26 May 1712, in Albany, NY; Dutch Reformed Church,18 Catalina Schuyler, b. 14 Jan 1678, Albany, NY,19 baptized 10 Oct 1686, Albany, NY,1 (daughter of David Pietersz Schuyler and Catalyna Verplanck) d. 24 Oct 1747, Albany, NY,17 buried 25 Oct 1747, Albany, NY; Dutch Reformed Church.20 Rutger died 4 Aug 1756, Albany, NY,6 buried 5 Aug 1756, Albany, NY; Dutch Reformed Church.7

The Bleecker family Bible record calls him "Ruthger" at his birth, which happened "...about 2 o'clock in the afternoon..." Rutger was a fur trader and it is said he amassed a fortune. Rutger shipped furs down the Hudson to New York City for export to Europe. Like his father, he was served as Albany's Recorder (1725) and then was the 15th mayor of Albany (1726-1729). He is also listed a Commissioner of Indian Affairs several times. He was also the "Judge" Rutger Bleecker who "pronounced laws from the bench of Common Pleas 1726-1733." That position is called one of the most important in Colonial Albany times as it was written that "The Mayor, Alderman and Recorder shall be judged and keeper of the Peace..." (Governor Thomas Dongan, 27 July 1686). Rutger is listed as a freeholder living in the Third Ward for Albany's 1720 Census. His father and two of his brothers were all living in the Second Ward in that list. His will (NY County Court House, Liber 20 pp.228-230) was probated 27 September 1756 and proved 28 April 1757. He wrote: In the name of God, Amen, January 16, 1756. I, RUTGER BLEECKER, of Albany, "considering the frailty of my Body." I leave to my eldest son, Johanes R. Bleecker, œ3, and also the Pictures of me and my wife, for his right of Primogeniture. I leave to my sons Johanes and Jacobus my wearing apparell. I leave to my two grand sons, Rutger, son of Johanes, and Rutger, son of Jacobus, each œ15 worth of silver plate. I leave to my children, Johanes, Marytie, widow of Edward Collins, and Jacobus, all my personal estate, my son Johanes to retain first the sum of œ125 in consideration of what my two other children have had at the time of their marriage. I leave to my two sons all my real estate of houses and lands, whether given to me by the will of my brother, Nicholas Bleecker, or otherwise, and they are to pay to my daughter Marytie œ270. I make my sons, and my brother, Hendrick Bleecker, executors. "On further consideration, I give to my son Johanes my bedstead, bed, pillows, blankets, and curtains in my chamber." Witnesses, Isaac Ver Planck, David Groesbeck, Jr., William Ver Planck. Proved in Albany, before John De Peyster, September 27, 1756.

His death is in the Bible record as well: "Our worthy brother Rutger Bleecker departed this life age 81 years and full 2 months and was buried in our Low Dutch Church." Catalina: She was the youngest of eight children. Her name is spelled "Catlyntje' in her father's will, according to Schuyler researchers. It can also be spelled Catlyn. Catilina was considered well-born and a socialite of Albany.

Alexander McDonald's manuscript shows Margaret's death in March. In her father's 1756 will, she is called 'Marytie, widow of Edward Collins...' Her will: "In the name of God, Amen. I, MARGARET COLLINS, of Albany, widow of Edward Collins, being sick. I leave to Marte Gerrittse Van Bergen my negro man "Dick." To Angentie Scott, widow, and her sister, Elizabeth Williams, each œ20. To my 2 brothers, John Rutse Bleecker and Johanes Bleecker, all the rest of my estate, real and personal. I make my brother, John R. Bleecker, executor. Dated April 28, 1760. Witnesses, Barent H.

Henrick: He may have been born at Fort Orange, Albany, NY. They were married "...at the house of Dr. Lyndius..." (presumably in Albany) wrote his father-in-law in the Bleecker family Bible record. He was called "Captain" in Cuyler Reynold's Biography of Jan Jansen Bleecker.

Some call him John Jr. He is probably the John Bleecker listed as a Commissioner of Indian Affairs in 1720. His father was one as well. Did John and Eva also have a daughter named Eva who married a german soldier from the Revolution (DAR)?? Anneken: Pearson wrote that she died 12 December.

Henry L. Despardo wrote that Nicholaas died in 1747. Nicholaas was involved in Albany town affairs and was a Commisioner of Indian Affairs, appointed in 1728 and again in 1742 (either him or his Uncle Nicholaas). Margarieta: Dirck Bleeker has her baptised on 1 May 1706. Pearson wrote that she died aged 88, 3 months and 16 days.

death date has been given to his brother Nicholaas (1), which is obviously a mistake.

One of the sponsors at John's baptism was his grandfather Jan Jansen Bleecker. He was known as known as "John R. Bleecker" and lived in his father's house in Albany, on the west side of what is now Pearl St. In his father's will, he is called 'Johanes R. Bleecker'. John and Elizabeth had three boys in a row named Barent and each died in the first few years of life. The last died of smallpox in 1756. He is probably the 'John R. Bleecker' who was elected Sheriff in 1746 and who was the elected from Albany's 2nd. Ward to the pre- Revolutionary "Committee of Public Safety" in 1775. He was known as a surveyor and is credited with making one of the important maps of Albany in his time. In his will dated 12 March 1792, John mentioned his wife Elizabeth, sons Jocobus, Barent, John and the child of his deceased son Rutger; John R. 'jun.', Peter Edmonds, Elisabeth, Maria, Blandina and Sarah. He listed his house and lot in Green St., Albany and the land in the historic Saratoga Patent. He also mentioned land in Otsquage, Montgomery Co., and in Ostega, Herkimer and Albany Co's. As

10

a surveyor he took up several large tracts along the Mohawk River. Finally he listed the house and lot in the 2nd Ward of Albany, which must have been the land his grandfather Jan Jansen Bleecker had. The executors were his widow and 'friend' Jacob Bleecker jun. Pearson has him baptized 6 February 1713.

Elizabeth: The Bleecker Family memorial in Albany's Rural Cemetery has her dates wrong, (born 1760 and died 1841). Elizabeth's obituary in the "Geneva Gazette" of Christmas Day, 1811 only says that she died in Albany at age 86. It does not give an exact date. I assume she is the Elizabeth actually born 29 September 1725 (above may be baptism) the daughter of Barent (Jochem, Abraham) and Neeltje van den Bergh.

15. James Bleecker (5.Rutger2, 1.Jan1) baptized 9 Dec 1716, Albany, NY; Dutch Reformed Church,7 Occupation: Merchant, m. 6 Jul 1740, in New Rochelle, Westchester, NY,35 Abigail Lispenard, b. 27 Jun 1718, New Rochelle, Westchester, NY,22 (daughter of Anthony Lispenard and Elizabeth De Klyne) d. 17 Feb 1807, Morristown, Morris, NJ,36 buried 20 Feb 1807, New York, NY; Trinity Churchyard.37 James died 8 Mar 1791, New Rochelle, Westchester, NY.22

James met Abigail when he went to the French Hugenot settlement in New Rochelle to learn French. His father wanted him to go to Europe and represent the family fur trading export company. One author wrote that Jacobus (James) lived as a country gentleman and built a house in Davenport Neck, NY. He was a Justice of the Peace in 1755, Superviser in 1760-1763 and Episcopal church warden 1762-1765. James inherited his father's land (55 acres), house and two mills in New Rochelle. It is said to have been used by the British as a hospital during the Revolution and was still standing in 1933.

Abigail: She was known as Abigail throughout most of her life. She is not buried in the Bleecker vault, but in Trinity's churchyard. She is mentioned in a little book in my possession quoting from the journal of "Aunt McDonald" for 1803. She wrote: - 3 April "Grandma came down from

11

Morristown." -6th "Grandma called to see us. She is almost 85 years of age and not withstanding her fatigue of riding yesterday over 30 miles of pretty rough roads, she was out a walking.." 7th June "GMa came down from New Rochelle, drank tea, danced..."

Johannes died 19 Jun 1811, Albany, NY.40 He may be the John J. Bleecker mentioned several times in pre- Revolutionary Albany as a delegate to the New Provincial Congress of 7 November 1777. None of his children had children. Pearson says Johannes died in his 81st year. Gerritje: Her death notice in the "Geneva Gazette" on 25 August 1813 simply says 'Gerritie, 75, relict of John L. d in Albany." It does not give a date and got the middle initial of her husband wrong. In the New York Weekly Museum it simply states 'Mrs. Gerritie, died at Albany aged 75' in the 21st. of August addition. Her name is spelled 'Garretie Van Schaick' in their marriage license.

Children: 42. i Janneke Bleecker b. 15 Oct 1763. ii Anna (1) Bleecker b. 29 Nov 1766, Albany, NY.40 Anna died in infancy. iii Johannes Bleecker b. 8 Nov 1768, Albany, NY,40 baptized 9 Nov 1768, Albany, NY;

v Sybrand Bleecker b. 5 Nov 1773, Albany, NY,40 d. 29 Apr 1814, Albany, NY.40 Pearson wrote that Sybrand died 'sine prole. '

vi Jacob Bleecker b. 13 Dec 1776, Albany, NY,40 baptized 18 Dec 1776, Albany, NY; Dutch Reformed Church,12 d. 1804.13 One note says he died in infancy though a chart in Henry Despard's book shows Jacob dying in his 25th year in 1804. Pearson wrote that Jacob died unmarried.

21. Hendrick Bleecker (8.Nicolaas3, 2.Johannes2, 1.Jan1) b. 15 Jan 1729, Albany, NY,5 m. Catalyntje Cuyler, baptized 22 Aug 1730, Albany, NY,5 (daughter of Hendrick Cuyler and Margriet Van Deusen) d. 9 Nov 1817, Albany, NY.11 Hendrick died 21 Mar 1780, Albany, NY.41 Alex McDonald's Bleecker family book says Henry died in 1783, aged 53. One chart (by Despard) has a second "Johannes" for Henry. Is he the Judge Henry Bleecker involved in Revolutionary Albany events? He was appointed 19 January 1776 and was soon after dismissed. Cuyler Bleecker shows Henry's birth date as 15 May. He and Catalyntje were second cousins. Catalyntje: Cuyler Bleecker has Catlyna's birth on 11 September 1730, which is after the baptism record attached to this Catalyntje.

Children: 43. i Margaret Bleecker b. 31 Oct 1755. 44. ii Nicholaus Bleecker. iii Catrian Bleecker b. 15 May 1760,11 baptized 18 May 1760, Albany, NY; Dutch

22. Johannes Nicholaas Bleecker (8.Nicolaas3, 2.Johannes2, 1.Jan1) b. 22 Aug 1739, Albany, NY,42 baptized 26 Aug 1739, Albany, NY; Dutch Reformed Church,27 m. 21 Jun 1775, in Towerland, NY,42 Margararita Van Deusen, b. 21 Jul 1746, New Brunswick, Middlesex, NJ ?,7 d. 13 Apr 1794, Albany, NY.40 Johannes died 23 Oct 1825, Albany, NY.7 H. Bleecker wrote (Sep 1826) that John was born 2 September 1739 (Henry Despard's book, "Bleecker Family Genealogy" p. 14). Dirk Bleecker is the source for the strange place of marriage for them and the IGI is the source for his baptism location. He is most likely the 'John N. Bleecker' who was a clerk for the Albany Committee of Correspondence in 1777 (pre-Revolutionary War agitators). He could also be the John who was a captain in the 6th Militia, First Regiment, Albany. A John N. of Albany had slaves. Margararita: She died in her 48th year, says the Alexander McDonald book. Dirck Bleeker wrote she was born in New Brunswick, but doesn't say in what state. Her name is spelled 'Van Deuzen' in the IGI. Pearson wrote that she died aged 47 years, 8, 23 days.

He wrote a family Bible record and it is included in the Henry Despard's book on the Bleecker family. Alexander Bleecker wrote that he died 1808. There is a mention of "Jacob Bleecker" and the date 6 Oct 1807 when he is called deceased. The clerk of Supervisors was appointed in Jacob's house on that date. Jacob is called a friend in the will of his cousin (once removed) John R. Bleecker (1792). Pearson says Jacob died in this 62nd year. Elizabeth: Her obituary appeared in the 25 March 1818 addition of the "Geneva Gazette" stating that she died in Albany at the age of 64.

While there, he met and married Cornelia. They had no children. He is credited with having done some genealogical research on the Bleecker family while living in Holland. Apparently, he found no trace of Jan Jansen's ancestry. He is the "H. Bleecker" who wrote 20 or so pages on the Albany Bleeckers in September of 1826 which is now in Henry Despard's book. Sebastiana: He father was Dirk Mentz (Mets) of The Hague. Their marriage notices in Albany papers stated that the ceremony was performed "according to the laws of Holland." (27 October 1842).

Rutger's vast land, legal, and private records are housed at the Manuscripts Collection of the New York State Library (SC GO11846). A description of the collection states Rutger had lands in Albany, the Springfield Patent in Ostego County, the Roseboom Patent in Montgomery Coutnry and Cosby's Manor in Oneida and Herkimer Counties, among other land. His personal papers include letters to his children, especially John Rutger and Maria Miller and grand and great-granchildren in the Miller, Seymour and Tibbits lines. An original Indenture dated 1 September 1795 and an addition in February of 1796 mentions him as 'John Rutger Bleecker' and lists the widow Catharine and children. It talks of the land in Herkimer County, NY and Cosby's Manor on the Mohawk River. It is in the Bleecker Box, NYPL Manuscripts. Rutger is listed in his grandfather Rutger Bleecker's will. He and Elizabeth are mentioned on the Bleecker Family monument in Albany's Rural Cemetery. This Rutger may be the one involved in various Albany committees leading up the Revoltution.

Catharine: Their marriage location comes from Dirk Bleeker's work. A list of marriage licenses show their dated in 1760, not 1768. Catherine is listed on the Bleecker Family monument, Albany, NY Rural Cemetery, erected in 1854. Her obituary in the 30 July addition calls her the relict of Rutger and that she died in Albany (but no day given).

They had no children. Is the marriage date correct? She had the Bleecker Family Memorial erected in Albany's Rurual Cemetery in 1854. She is named for her aunt Blandina Elmendorph. Charles:

American Biographical Library The Twentieth Century Biographical Dictionary of Notable Americans Volume 3 D Dudley, Charles Rowland page 321 Dudley, Charles Edward, senator, was born at Johnson Hall, Eccles Hall, Stafford, England, May 23, 1780; son of Charles and Catherine (Cooke) Dudley. His father (1737-1790) was royal collector of the customs for the port of Newport, R.I., and his mother the daughter of Robert and Anne Cooke of Newport, R.I. The son was for a time employed in a counting-room, and was subsequently supercargo on a voyage to the East Indies. On his return he settled in trade in New York city and thence removed to Albany, N.Y. He served in the New York senate, 1820-25, and was mayor of Albany, 1821-28. Upon the resignation of Senator Van Buren to accept the office of governor of New York, to which office he had been elected in November, 1828, the legislature of New York elected Mr. Dudley to fill the unexpired term in the U.S. senate and he took his seat in January, 1829, and served till the close of Mr. Van Buren's term, March 4, 1833. He was married to Blandina, daughter of Rutgers Bleecker of New York City, and she founded in 1856 Dudley observatory at Albany, in memory of her husband, donating $75,000, and subsequently increasing the gift to more than $100,000. She was born in 1783 and died in 1863. Senator Dudley died in Albany, N.Y., Jan. 23, 1841.

James left land to his brother Barent and his son 'Garrit Van Stadt' Bleecker, and the documents are housed in the Manuscripts and Special Collections of the New York State Library (SC20557). The land was mainly in Albany and Plattsburgh, NY. Rachel: Rachel was called a widow when she died.

Barent died 1 Jun 1840, Albany, NY.50

Barent was the President of the Bank of Albany. His papers reside in the Manuscript and Special Collections portion of the New York State Library. Included are maps, deeds, letters etc. of his land in Fulton, Oneida and Saratoga Counties. They span from 1800 until his death in 1840. One land patent was called the 'Glen, Bleecker and Lansing Patent...' Place name of his baptism comes from the IGI, which has an incorrect date for this event. Person wrote that they had no children. Sarah: Sarah is listed on the Bleecker Family memorial in Albany's Rural Cemetery. A death notice in the "Daily Albany Argus" for the wife of Barent Bleecker (12 October 1831) does not give her name. It says her funeral was from her home at 87 Pearl St. Pearson wrote it was from 317 North Market St. Dirk Bleeker wrote that she died in 1838.

32. Anthony Lispenard Bleecker (15.James3, 5.Rutger2, 1.Jan1) b. 18 Jun 1741, New Rochelle, Westchester, NY ?,35 Occupation: Merchant/Real Estate,54 m. 4 May 1763, in New York, NY; 1st and 2nd Presbyterian,3 Mary Noel, b. 5 Nov 1743, Cádiz, Spain,22 (daughter of Garrat Noel and Frances Matilda Jaymèe) d. 25 Aug 1828, New York, NY,55 buried New York, NY; Trinity Churchyard.55 Anthony died 26 Apr 1816, New York, NY,56 buried 27 Apr 1816, New York, NY; Trinity Churchyard.57

Anthony was one of the most well-known and important Bleeckers since Jan Jansen Bleecker. He was shipping merchant and real estate auctioneer of New York City and was a very wealthy man. He owned the farm where the present-day Bleecker St. lies. His residence was 74 Broadway, across from Rector St., where the large Bleecker family lived for many years. It has been described as a spacious house with a garden. Access to the stables was from Wall St. Anthony was a Major in the 1st Regiment Provincials under a Col. Henry in 1775. During the British occupation of New York City, the family lived in New Jersey (Morristown?) from 1776-1783. He is listed in the 'March Tax List' for Newark, NJ in 1782. When General George Washington returned to Manhattan after the British evacuation in 1783, Anthony is said to have been on the committee to offically welcome him back. Upon his own return to New York City, Anthony started the family real estate and auctioning business, located for a time at 178 Pearl St. He also owned the Roger Jumel Mansion at 160th St. for a time. It was Washington's headquarters for awhile during the war and it is now the oldest and most historic house left in Manhattan. He is listed on p. 22 in the 1786 New York Directory, the city's first, as an auctioneer at 40 Wall St. The original reads: 'Bleecker L. Anth 40 auctioneer Wall Sf'.

19

By 1792, 'Anthony L. Bleecker and Sons' were listed as stock brokers. (Bleeckers occupied four of the 28 seats on the New York Stock Exchange in 1818). Anthony also was involved in New York's historic Trinity Episcopal Church, situated across from Wall St. He became a vestryman there in 1785. He served until 1807 when he became a warden for five years. He purchased the family vault in its churchyard in 1790 where Bleecker family burials took place well into the 20th century. He was by far the most powerful Bleecker in New York City history. The size of his land, his political and business influence is well documented. However, it is probably the quality of his descendants in the 19th century, and the families they married into, which shows the respect he had. Among the names: Roosevelt, Neilson and Harriman. The New York Times obituary of his grandson Anthony J. Bleecker (18 Jan 1884; 8:1) recalled the family tale of Anthony coming into his house one day to announce he had bought 160 acres "out in the country" and that his friends laughed at him for wasting his money. That land of course became Greenwich Village where Bleecker St. runs today. It has been written he never lived on the land and that he died at the family homestead at 74 Broadway. Alexander McDonald's book on the Bleecker family has their marriage on 10 May 1762, performed by a Rev. Joseph Trent. Anthony's obituary in The New-York Evening Post states his funeral was to be on "Sunday afternoon 5 o'clock from late residence 74 Broadway." His will was proven 8 May 1816. He left everything to his wife Mary and mentioned son's James, Garrat and Anthony as executors. Mary: The story is that Mary's English father moved to Cádiz, Spain where he met and married Frances and that is where Mary was born. Her obituary in the "New-York Evening Post" of 26 August 1826 reads "Relic of Anthony L. Bleecker" aged 85. The Trinity burial record has her aged 84,nine months and 20 days. She is mentioned in Alice Noel Huske's will, proved 1782 in New Market, Cambridge, England as "Garret's daughter Mary." Noel Bleecker Fox wrote in the late 20's that he had photos of silouettes of Anthony and Mary Noel Bleecker.

Anthony wrote prose and verse, his most well-known being "The Narrative of the Brig Commerce" though he rarely wrote using his own name. He was also a trustee of the New York Society Library from 1810-1826. He never married and died at the home of his brother-in-law John Neilson.

33. Rutger Bleecker (15.James3, 5.Rutger2, 1.Jan1) b. 12 May 1743, New York, NY,35 m. Sarah Rodman, (daughter of Samuel Rodman). Rutger is mentioned in his grandfather Rutger Bleecker's will of 1756. Dirk Bleeker incorrectly listed this Rutger Bleecker as the one who died 17 March 1831 (he wrote 1834). The notice for that Rutger clearly states his father was named John R. Bleecker and says Rutger died at age 30. Is he the 'R Bleecker inn-keeper, 57, Cherry St.' in the 1786 New York City Directory (p. 23)?

John and Ann lived in Scaticikee (SP?) in Albany, Co., NY. They may also have had children Henry F. and John S. John J. Bleecker was a well-known Revolutionary War hero. Need to find the original marriage record. Ann: I have no other reference to the town where Ann was supposed to have died. She is called a well-known poetess. Ann is mentioned in her grandmother Schuyler's will of 1766. Book: "Memoirs of Mrs. Ann Eliza Bleecker, 1779 : relating the history of Maria Kittle copied from the rare published volume by Charlotte Taylor Luckhurst. Bleecker, Ann Eliza Schuyler, 1752-1783."

Leonard is the famous Bleecker stock broker who signed the "Buttonwood Agreement" in May of 1792 establishing the first truly structured stock market in New York City. It was the foundation for the New York Stock Exchange. Eventually, Bleeckers held four of the 28 seats of the New York Stock Exchange (as of 1817). The need for an agreement arose after the 'Panic of 1792' when speculators, fueled with too much borrowed money, pumped up bank stocks, only for it all to come crashing down in the new nation's first stock market panic. The collapse put a bad light on the 'auctioning' of stocks to the highest bidder, which had been the common practice and one for which Leonard was very well known. Indeed his stock auction partnership created in 1791 with John Pintard included trading at the Merchant's Coffee House near Wall Street, set the stage for a stock trading floor there. In New York City's 1786 Directory (the city's first), there is a 'J. and L. Bleecker, 20 brokers Water Sf' on page 22. I wonder if the J is his father? The 1812 Directory has "Leonard Bleecker and Son Stock and Exchange Brokers #37 Wall." He is credited for giving $50,000 to the U.S. government to help finance the War of 1812. During the Revolution, Leonard was a 2nd. Lt. in the NY First Regiment, then a made Captain on 22 August 1777. Leonard then became a Brig. Major and was at Yorktown for the surrender. His was a founding member of the Society of the Cincinatti and was in the NY Chamber of Commerce. He was put on the Revolutionary War Pensions rolls in 1818. In his family Bible is written: 'Leonard Bleecker died Saturday March 9th 1844 at 7 P.M.' (NYGBR, Dec 1975, p. 235).

(DAR write: Leonard Bleecker (1755-1844) was in the Continental Infantry at the capture of St. Johns 1775; was lieutenant at the battles of Long Island and Princeton, promoted captain of the first New York regiment 1777. He served under Lafayette and was brigade major at Yorktown. He was a charter member of the Society of the Cincinnati. He died in Newton, Long Island.).

It stated: "wf of Nicholas, d. recently in Albany" and that her funeral was from her late residence 288 North Market St. The date of this obituary is listed as 6 December 1831 in Fred Bowman's book. This or the date in Alexander McDonald's book for her death is wrong.

25 July 1796. I assume 95 is correct based on the birth of their first child. Her burial record at Trinity says she was 77 yrs, 2 months and 19 days when she died.

Bleecker (32.Anthony4, 15.James3, 5.Rutger2, 1.Jan1) b. 14 Oct 1786, New York, NY,113 Occupation: Merchant/Stock Broker,114 m. 18 Mar 1811, in New York,113 Sarah Elizabeth Popham, b. 24 Aug 1791, Scarsdale, Westchester, NY,115 baptized 4 Sep 1791, New York, NY; Trinity Church,116 (daughter of William Popham and Mary Morris) d. 5 Aug 1882, Bergen, Hudson, NJ,113 buried 8 Aug 1882, Scarsdale, Westchester, NY; St. James.117 Leonard died 9 Oct 1841, New York, NY,118 buried New York, NY; Trinity Churchyard.55

Leonard and Sarah were married by The Rev. Dr. Wilkins, probably at Trinity Church. I believe he is the 'L' of "Jas and L Bleecker, stock and exchange brokers, 62 Wall" in Longworth's "New York Register and City Directory, 1812" (original in my possession). (Bleecker's occupied four of the 28 seats on the NYSE in 1818). Leonard is said to have taken on the letter "A" to distinguish himself from a cousin Leonard. It is often written as Augustus, which was his son's middle name, though they were never called Sr. and Jr. There has been little written about his life. He isn't even mentioned in his father's will of 1814, though he is probably the "Leonard A. Bleecker, Custom Officer" living at 159 Hudson St. in the 1830 New York City Directory (p. 133). His father-in-law William Popham wrote to a distant relative Ellen Thomson (c. 1825) that "...In the Spring...we shall board with our daughter Sally, whose family I shall put in my own house No. 33 Van Dam (New York City).(Morris-Popham Papers, Manuscript Division, Library of Congress). Records at Trinity show he was buried in his father's vault. Yet, St. James' records show a "L. L. Bleecker died 1841" buried in his son Leonard Augustus Bleecker's plot (#238) after 1856, which means he may have been re buried in Scarsdale when the church was opened in 1851. His obituary in the NEW-YORK EVENING POST says he died at 479 Hudson, in New York City. An obituary in the NEW YORK HERALD (11 Oct 1841, 3:5) confirms his date of death. Sarah: One book says she was born on the 28th of August. Sarah (known as Sally) was with her son L. Augustus Bleecker's family when they moved to Bergen, Hudson, NJ. c. 1861. She became a parishoner, along with the family, at St. Paul's Church there in May of 1861. Emily Olssen Bleecker wrote in her memoirs that Sally split her later years between her daughter Mary in Bergen and her son Augustus. Sally loved knitting and kept the multitudes of grandchildren in mittens and afghans, working away while even reading to them (EROB, p. 50). She is the 79 year old 'Sarah E. Bleecker' living with her son Augustus and his wife Alethea in the 1870 U.S. Census for Scarsdale.

viii Charles Lewis Bleecker b. 5 Jul 1830, New York,113 d. 26 Mar 1831, Scarsdale, Westchester, NY ?,119 buried Scarsdale, Westchester, NY; St. James.119 He was buried at what was to become the St. James the Less Church cemetery in Scarsdale. His stone was only uncovered in the 1970's and showed that the Bleeckers were using this hill to bury 20 years before St. James was built. The stone reads "Charles L. Popham (should say Bleecker) infant son of L A and S E Bleecker, born July 5th 1830 died Mar 26 1831." The birth date is the same as family notes, though one note says he died 26 June 1831 and other says 26 May.

ix Sarah Helen Bleecker b. 27 Feb 1833, New York,113 baptized 5 Apr 1833, New York, NY; Christ Episcopal,12 d. 24 Feb 1834, New York.113 I have a page of baptisms from an unknown (to me) church in New York which is typed written and simply says "Helen Sarah Bleecker" of Leonard Bleecker and Sarah. The date says 1832 but is in with other 1833 baptisms. The IGI has the church listed as "Broadway and Seventy First St. Christ Episcopal Church, NY." But it has 5 April 1832 and lists her name as Helen Sarah Bleecker. I wonder if she died in the cholera epidemic of 1834.

ii Joseph Rodman Bleecker baptized 31 Jan 1798, New York, NY; Christ Episcopal.12 John was baptised at the Broadway and Seventy First St. Christ Episcopal Church according to the IGI. Joseph is not in any research or on any family chart. But I placed him here from the IGI due to his middle name.

She helped to publish her mother's poetry. She is listed in 'AMERICAN WOMEN WRITERS TO 1800" edited by Sharon M. Harris (web site:http://www.oup-usa.org/toc/tc_0195084535.html) Another chart shows Margaret married a Edward Brady and had no children. Peter: Alexander McDonald spells it Fauquer and anothers Faugeres. Peter was of some standing, as his baptism and his father's will proove. The following was e-mailed to me in April of 2000 by RECSEC1044@aol.com: Baptism - 'Pierre son of Mr. Louis Faugere and the lady Eve Remsen his wife.

James was later the president. As merchants, they are listed in Longworth's 1812 Directory for New York City as "JW Bleecker" of 41 Beekman. He was later the one of the City's leading land auctioneers known as 'James Bleecker and Sons' (much like his uncle's Anthony and Leonard). His name appears on many old deeds and ads of the period. When he died, his seat on the NYSE was the first to be auctioned for charity. It raised $460.

Henry's baptism is mentioned as a private adult affair and does give his birthdate. Since he died only a month later, I can only assume he was quite ill and for some reason had not been baptised as a child in the Episcopal Church.

viii Laura Bleecker b. 1826, New York, NY,126 d. 1826.126 Her birthplace comes from the IGI.

That is probably where Alexander McDonald got her/his generalised birth date. I would have to see the original to see which name is correct. I am also assuming the St. John's since the record does not specify.

George W. is listed for 1830 Census as Bleeker in NYC NY county 9th ward. Did he marry for a third time? A Mary Bleecker, born 1806 in NY, is head of the household with George, Charles, Frederick and Kate in the 1860 Census. Ann: Could Dirk be wrong about her? A Mary Bleecker is head of this household in the 1860 Census in Brookly.

It explains that Edward preached the gospel "...to the poor and fallen at Blackwell's Island, Sing Sing Prison, New-York Magdalen Asylum, Colored Home, Half-Orphan Asylum, and

the Peabody Home." It says Edward was known through many charities around the country. His funeral took place on the 21st and was officiated by Dr. Stephen Tyng, Jr. (Trintity?). He died at his home on 238 E. 48th St. Ann: Her father was William Kinch.

89. Anthony James Bleecker (59.James5, 32.Anthony4, 15.James3, 5.Rutger2, 1.Jan1) b. 20 Oct 1799, New York, NY,138 baptized 4 Dec 1799, New York, NY; Trinity Church,139 Occupation: Real Estate/Auctioneer,138 m. 24 Nov 1824, in Poughkeepsie, Dutchess, NY,73 Cornelia Van Benthuysen, b. 22 Feb 1801, of Poughkeepsie, Dutchess, NY,55 (daughter of John Van Benthuysen and Cornelia Van Ness) d. 23 Aug 1859, New York,55 buried 25 Aug 1859, New York, NY; Trinity Churchyard.140 Anthony died 17 Jan 1884, New York, NY,138 buried 19 Jan 1884, New York, NY; Trinity Churchyard.141

Anthony continued the family's line of business and indeed became the most well-known auctioneer and real estate agent in New York City during his time. His obituary in the New York Times (18 January 1884, 8:1) chronicles his life in great detail. It says he was sent to Dr. Eigenbrodt's school on Long Island where Anthony met James Hackett, later to be a top actor of his time. Anthony was to be known in his later life as one of the top Shakespearean scholars of the US.

50

Anthony went to work as a clerk in his father's office and learned the real estate and auction business there. It was the same company started by his grandfather with a charter in 1783. When Anthony became a partner around 1823, the Bleecker firm had been in business longer than any other similar concern in the City. He was responsible for keeping valuable maps and records of sales for the company, but they were all destroyed when the building on Broad St. burned down in 1835. They moved to 7 Broad St. but that building and ten years of records were destroyed in the great fire of 1845. Eventually the firm settled at 75 Nassau St. where is still existed when Anthony was stricken with paralysis two years before his death. The third such attack happened soon before he died at the house of his son James, 100 West 56th St. In the New York City 1869 Directory, his address was: Bleecker Anthony J, auction, 77 Cedar, h 148 Macdougal.." His son James is listed as 'auction' at the same work address as well. During his working life, Anthony was appointed Chairman of the committee to extend Central Park to 110 St., and a committee which assessed the city's entire value in order for Mayor Tweed to issue bonds. (Anthony was refused the $15,000 originally offered for that service and sued the City. They settled on a $4000 fee, which he never took, thus doing the whole assessment for free). Anthony was an active member of the Democratic Party and was appointed US Marshall for the Southern District of the City by President Van Buren. Anthony jumped to the Republicans (indeed helped found the party in the City) when the battle over slavery consumed the Democrats, as he was an abolitionist. He was the party's first ever candidate for Mayor of New York City, but there was little support for the new party and he lost the 1856 election. President Lincoln later appointed him the Assessor of Internal Revenue for the 8th District of New York, called the heaviest tax-paying district in the country at the time. He held that position for six years. There are some rare insights into Anthony by way of letters he wrote his grandson John V. B. Bleecker while John was studying at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD. One letter in 1866 discussed John's grades then migrated to Anthony's working life. He wrote "We have had quite a spirit of business in Real Estate, but there seems a kind of 'lull' just now -- I hope our season is not over yet. We have taken an old office in Cedar St. though at a greatly enhanced rent, from $1000 to $2500 [a year?], but we take the whole floor and can let out the rear office. My ( ) office we shall leave; our Turk of a landlord has doubled the rent, (from $500, which is all the Government allows, to $1000). I have taken 3 rooms on Broadway, 2nd floor, between 19 and 20 Street, almost directly in rear of our house..." (Letter from Patty Blayney Webb, 1997). Anthony was a trustee and founder of St. Luke's Hospital and a Vestryman at Trinity Church (as his father and grandfather were) from 1846 to 1859. He was also a trustee of the city's Trinity School where many of the family's young men attended. The burial record at Trinity Church, New York states: "Opened vault for the internment of Anthony J. Bleecker who died at 100 West 56th Street aged 84 years, 3 months and 21 days. The remains were interred in black cloth covered caskets which was placed in a box lined with zinc and hermetically sealed. Funeral services were held in Trinity Church at which the Rector, (Rev.) Dix, the Rev. George Geer, the Rev. William Douglas and Rev. Francis Chase...officiated. Small choir." Finally, his obituary says "He was one of the best known men on the Street, and his familiar figure will be sadly missed by the merchants, brokers and bankers of old New-York."

ANTHONY JAMES BLEECKER, auctioneer, born on his grandfather's farm in New York city, Oct. 20, 1799, died in New York, Jan. 17, 1884. He was a son of James Bleecker and grandson of Anthony Lispenard Bleecker, and came from the old family which owned the estate through which Bleecker street now passes. Educated in Dr. Eigenbrodt's school at Jamaica., Long Island, he began life as an auctioneer with his father. In 1862, President Lincoln appointed him Assessor of Internal Revenue in this city, and he served for six years. The taxes in his district were larger than in any other in the United States, Alex. T. Stewart alone paying $460,000. At one time, he also

51

served as United States Marshal of the Southern District of New York. Politics interested him early in life and he was the oldest Sachem in Tammany Hall at the time of his death, although he was one of those who, in 1855, started the Republican party, and a candidate for Mayor of New York in 1856 on the Frémont ticket. Owing to the land proprietorship of his family, he was led at an early day into a real estate business and became one of the noted auctioneers of this class of property. He conducted many important sales. He sold the Tallman estate, near Central Park, for $1,500,000, and Dr. Valentine Mott's property for $1,000,000. The annual sales by Mr. Bleecker amounted to millions, and it was his jocular boast that he had sold the Island of Manhattan, twice over. He certainly knew what the Island was worth, because he appraised its realty in 1871, amounting to $247,000,000. With Judge Jones of Orange county, Mayor William V. Brady, Cornelius W. Lawrence, Collector of the Port, and George H. Purser, he laid out the Hudson River Railroad, and was chairman of the other commission which extended Central Park from 106th to 110th street, his associates being Richard Kelly, now president of The Fifth National Bank, and Hawley D. Clapp, proprietor of the Everett House. One of the stewards of The St. Nicholas Society, he enjoyed the friendship of Washington Irving. Richard Grant White says that he had no rival in his knowledge of Shakespeare. In October, 1825, Mr. Bleecker married Cornelia, daughter of John Van Benthuysen, of Poughkeepsie. The children born to them were, John Van Benthuysen Bleecker, who died during the war; Sarah Bache Bleecker, who died in 1867; Helena, who died in 1833; and James Bleecker, successor to his father as an auctioneer. Mr. Bleecker was a vestryman of Trinity Church, as were his father and grandfathers, and is buried in the family vault of that church yard. [p.90]

He graduated first in his class at Columbia and became a deacon in then Episcopal church in New York City. The biographer of Orlando's famous son and grandson describes the reverend as such: "Orlando junior was a stocky, thick-chested, bulldoggish man whose early and growing baldness exaggerated his strong jaw and heavy brows. Cornelia was a frail woman with thin lips and a mouth that turned down at the corners... she had an expression that was perpetually severe, unhappy and disapproving." (Abramson, p. 27). Orlando headed for the gold fields of Northern California in 1850 with hopes of setting up a church in booming Sacramento. He failed and had no money to afford the return to New York. 11 months after sailing from New York, he finally arrived back, having finally set up two parishes and getting money. The family moved to Jersey City when he became rector of St. John's, West Hoboken For years, he was also the rector of St. George's Episcopal, Hempstead, Long Island.

Onderdonk. When Wm was 86 years old, he was living with Thomas Newlin and his wife Julia Bleecker, William's niece. They are all together in the 1900 U.S. Census, Fishkill, Dutchess, NY (ed 8, p. 28a, roll 1022). He is called a Widow, born Feb 1814. The Census is dated 28 June so he died soon after this was taken. "Maj." William Popham was his sponsor when he was baptised. Andrew Onderdonk's genealogy of 1910 says they were married 18 October 1844. (Rev. O. probably Maria's Uncle Bishop Benjamin O. of NY). Maria: A family note says she was born 21 June 1818. McDonald's book has her dying in her 60th year. In the 1869 New York City Directory, William is listed as: "Bleecker William P. mer. 108 Duane, h N. J...."

I doubt she died and was buried on the same date, so one of the sources is probably wrong. Theodore: Theodore is Head of Household in New York City's 16th. Ward in the 1850 U.S. Census. Living with them are Leonard A. Bleecker, aged 50 and

64

Augustus Bleecker aged 31. The also had one Irish servant woman, aged 20. Lyman Cox Bleecker wrote that Theodore was a Reverend. Dirk Bleeker says they were married 14 May 1869.

He may have been born on the 7th. However, there is an obituary in my possession which says that a Noel Mallaby of Elizabeth, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Francis Bleecker Mallaby, died after a long illness. It says she had sisters' Mrs. H.J. (Peggy) Hammalian of Hackensack and Mrs. T.S. Meyer of Sunnyside, Queens. This Noel died at Hackensack Hospital. There is no date on the obituary.

Leonard Augustus Bleecker (67.Leonard5, 32.Anthony4, 15.James3, 5.Rutger2, 1.Jan1) b. 7 Aug 1818, Scarsdale, Westchester, NY,113 Occupation: Metal Merchant,178 m. 27 May 1851, in Scarsdale, Westchester, NY; St. James,179 Alethea Hill Popham, b. 22 Feb 1824, Scarsdale, Westchester, NY,180 (daughter of William Sherbrooke Popham and Elizabeth Carmer Hill) d. 1 Jun 1919, Bloomfield, Essex, NJ,181 buried 3 Jun 1919, Scarsdale, Westchester, NY; St. James.182 Leonard died 4 Mar 1904, Bloomfield, Essex, NJ,117 buried 8 Mar 1904, Scarsdale, Westchester, NY; St. James.117

Leonard Augustus was born at the Popham homestead in Scarsdale and spent many a summer growing up there with his first cousin Alethea Popham. She later became his wife. One of his obituaries (Scarsdale paper) says he grew up in New York City and attended a boarding school on Ninth St. Emily Olssen Bleecker wrote in her memoirs (pp. 27-28) that Leon spent several years in Bridgewater, CT working for Bridgewater Iron Works where he boarded with a Barstow family. Upon his return to New York, he joined the firm of 'Popham and Co.' the coal and wood dealers in New York City. He was living with Theodore Mallaby's family in New York City's 16th Ward, working as a clerk, according to the 1850 U.S. Census (p. 223). Augustus (he dropped the Leonard) married Alethea Hill Popham, the daughter of his employer and (again) his first-cousin. The wedding in 1851 was the first ceremony held in the new church, St. James-The-Less Episcopal Church, in Scarsdale which he helped to organize. He was elected one of the first vestrymen and remained so for years. And as the church's first clerk, his signature is on many church documents, including the original lease. It was about this time he dropped the use of Leonard because there were five Leonard Bleeckers running around. He was from then on known as Augustus. There first two children were born at the Popham homestead in Scarsdale. After that they lived in New York City and around Scarsdale from 1851 until 1857. Their third son Charles was born at Waverly Place, a Popham home, in 1856. Augustus' obituary states they lived in Greenwich Village and he went to work by stage coach. The 1854 New York City Directory notes: "Augustus Bleecker, Coal, B/W &4th, home Scarsdale (p. 76).

65

In 1857 they settled next door to the church in Scarsdale in which they were married. They lived in the stone house built by Edward Jones Olssen (Olssen-Bennett house today, Elmdorf Drive). Meanwhile, Alethea H. Bleecker is listed on a deed of sale (dated 12 October 1857) for four acres and 2 rods next to the house. However, they sold the house next year back to the man who sold it to them, Allen Sheppard Campbell, for $7,000 on the day before Christmas (liber 398, pp. 276-280). Emily Bleecker wrote that Augustus and Althea continued to live in the house during part of the Civil War (incorrect) and that they also lived for a time at Wayside Lane in a small house which later become the church's rectory. The reason for the sale was probably because 'Popham and Co.' failed, causing financial hardship on many parts of the Popham and Bleecker families. Augustus and Alethea eventually had to leave the stone house and ended up in a small place across the Hudson River in Bergen, New Jersey (now Jersey City) where his sister Mary Meigs lived with her family. In the 1860 U.S. Census (taken in September), August and Alethea and the three oldest boys are living between Charles Carmer and Lewis Popham in Scarsdale. There is no value listed for real estate, which means they were renting by that time. Augustus' personal value was listed as $5,000 (p. 642). The children's baptism records show that they had moved to New Jersey by May of 1861 when they all were welcomed as parishioners of St. Paul's, Bergen. Luckily, Augustus was able to find new work. His old landlord in Bridgewater, a Captain Barstow, retired from the sea and had a metals business called "E.W. Barstow and Son" in New York City. Augustus joined the firm in 1861 as a bookkeeper and soon became a partner. Apparently the son of Barstow, Ed, was not one to be trusted and Augustus slowly took control of the operation. It was located at 33 Maiden Lane. In the 1869 New York City Directory, he is listed as "Bleecker Aug's, metals, 88 Maiden la. h Scarsdale..." He eventually left the firm and founded his own metal works, "Augustus Bleecker and Sons," the ship chandlery and anchor business based at 78 Front St. and later 48 South St. in New York City. His son's Sherbrooke and Leonard worked there for years and was called such until it was sold by the son Leonard in 1935. When Augustus and Alethea moved back to Scarsdale again around 1865, they lived in the Popham homestead and took care of William S. Popham (her father) and Jane his second wife. It is obvious that they did not always get along with William and Jane, who had the "Hill tongue" (Bleecker, p. 40). The big house proved a great deal of trouble and the arrangement did not work, so the Bleecker clan moved again (c.1870), this time to the St. James' parsonage. It was empty at the time. (By the way, when the big Popham home was finally for sale, Alethea's brother Lewis took possession of the house, for $20,000, and the rest of the children saw no financial gain from its value). In the 1870 U.S. Census (taken in July), 'August' Bleecker is a 52 year old Merchant living in Scarsdale with 'Alethia' and the children. Sherbrooke is an 18 year old clerk. There are also two servants. Unfortunately, Augustus' real and personal estate values are not listed. They were living next to the family of distant cousin James Bleecker, the auctioneer. I am not sure in which house they were living then. The parsonage got a bit fuller by 1871 when Louisa and Emily, the wife and daughter of Rev. William Olssen's of St. James, moved back to Scarsdale and back into their house, now occupied by the Bleeckers. There would have been five Bleeckers there, the oldest boy Sherbrooke was living in New York City and working for Washington Life and would only visit on Sunday. However, 11 years later, he was to marry the 11 year old new occupant of the house, Emily. The Bleeckers again left Scarsdale later that year and settled in Bloomfield, NJ where their son's Sherbrooke and Charles set up homes in the late 1880's. Augustus, Alethea and Sherbrooke's growing family were altogether at 86 Oakland Ave. by 1890.

66

In the 1890 U.S. Census Augustus and Alethea are head of the large Bleecker family at 86 Oakland Ave., Bloomfield. They are listed at being married for 49 years with seven children, four living. Even at 81, Augustus is called a merchant. Sherbooke, Emily and six of their children are listed as well. Augustus died at Oakland Ave., Bloomfield in 1904, having worked within a short time of his death. He is buried in the Bleecker family vault at St. James, Scarsdale which he purchased in 1857. Alethea is listed with the family in 1910, an 86 year old widow. She died at the house in 1919, only weeks after her oldest Sherbrooke passed away.

Alethea: She grew up at the Popham family homestead "The Locust" in Scarsdale, NY. In her memoirs, Emily Olssen Bleecker wrote that Alethea went west to Salt Lake in the summer of 1881 (along with son Charlie) to live with Pierre, who had moved there for the ministry. Alethea went for health reasons. The 1910 U.S. Census also states that she was born February of 1824.

Bleecker" and "14 February 1860 Stillborn child of A. L. Bleecker." In 1869, he was listed at the same work and home address as his father-in-law Anthony J. Bleecker: "Bleeker Anthony L. auction, 77 Cedar, h 148 Macdougal..." Sarah: McDonald wrote that she was born 9 July.

Julia, sarah and William are with him with two others who were probably servants. William probably married again.

James was one of many real estate auctioneers in 19th century New York with the name of Bleecker. In the 1869 New York City Directory, James is listed as: "Bleecker James, auction, 77 Cedar, h 7 Gramercy pk..." living with his sister-in-law Rosalie. He and his family are living next to Augustus Bleecker's family in Scarsdale according to the 1870 U.S. Census. His real estate was worth $5000 and his personal property $1000. He had three servants. Emily Olssen Bleecker referred to him and his family as "the Jim Bleecker's" with whom she spent some summer days at Rye Beach. She said they lived at "Hillside" in Scarsdale. Jim Bleecker was one of those who left St. James to protest Rev. William Olssen's refusal to allow people to pay for pews in St. James, Scarsdale (Bleecker, p. 41). He was of 102 W. 5th St. when his father died at the same location in 1884. I get his places of birth and marriage (and a death year of 1927), and that of his children from Dirk Bleeker's research. Jane: Jane's obituary says she was survived by her husband, one son and two daughters. It says Jane and James moved to Flushing in 1899 and took part in church activities. She died at 192 Franklin Place, Flusing, according to her obituary (unknown paper in my possession). Dirk Bleeker wrote that she died in 1904. She is called 'Jennie C.' in the 1870 U.S. Census.

Alethea's obituary said she died suddenly and was living in New York City at 69 West 94th St., though she died at Cold Spring Harbor. Emily Olssen Bleecker had fond memories of Blanche as they grew up together in Scarsdale. She is listed as the 13 year old 'A. Blanche' in the 1870 U.S. Census.

ii Alice Stuart Bleecker b. 27 Jun 1861, New York, NY,206 d. 19 May 1863, New York, NY,206 buried 20 May 1865, New York, NY; Trinity Parish.207 The burial record says Alice died at 1 year, 11 months and 10 days old. It is not specified where in the Trinity Parish she was laid to rest.

Mark Freeman has her birthyear as 1854. William: http://www.geocities.com/markfreemn/fauquier.html William's birth and death location come from the above web site. Mark Freeman has their marriage as 17 May 1876. William and Restorer were second cousins. Restorer: Restorer and his daughter Frances are given the same death date in Anthony James bleecker's work.

She was born 14 Sep 1854 in NY City, NY, and died 20 Aug 1936 in Jersey City, NJ. Notes for Restora Mealer Fauquier: An only child of a carpenter with property and slaves, curiously not mentioned on census of 1850 with parents (at school, with relatives?). Variously claimed to be French, one census lists him as from "Maine", another "Alabama", although family lived in Donaldsonville, LA, and he was at least third generation American.

Pierre McDonald Bleecker (125.Leonard6, 67.Leonard5, 32.Anthony4, 15.James3, 5.Rutger2, 1.Jan1) b. 12 Mar 1854, Scarsdale, Westchester, NY,183 baptized 9 Apr 1854, Scarsdale, Westchester, NY; St. James,184 Occupation: Reverend, m. (1) 14 Sep 1881, in Ogden, Weber, UT,3 Abigail Armstrong Lees, b. 14 Nov 1857, Ogden, Weber, UT,246 (daughter of Samuel Lees and

(2) 6 Jan 1898, in Bozeman, Gallatin, MT; St. James',247 Phoebe Prout, b. 29 Jan 1857, North Carolina,248 (daughter of Henry H. Prout and Maria -). Pierre died 1950, Stoneham, Middlesex, MA, buried 29 Sep 1950, Scarsdale, Westchester, NY; St. James.117

Pierre and his older brother Sherbrooke were born at the Popham family homestead in Scarsdale, the well-known "Locusts" built by Major William Popham. After moving around Scarsdale and to Bergen, New Jersey for awhile, their parents brought them back to the Popham House. While living there, the two attended a school in White Plains run by a Dr. Willis. They got there each day on an old, long legged horse which was a family favorite Pierre was ordained a minister of the Episcopal church, graduating from St. Stephen's College, Annandale-on-Hudson, NY in 1876 (now Bard College). While there, he lived his four years of study with the Rev. William Olssen who was a teacher there. Pierre was ordained a priest in 1881 and was a missionary in Utah where he met Abigail. In a letter in my possession, written by his aunt Mary Noel Bleecker McDonald to her mother, dated 13 November 1881, Mary wrote "Pierre is preaching today in Ogden. I have thought of him in the pulpit, and Abbie in the new home. How glad Charlie must be to have them back." Charlie was Charles Popham Bleecker, Pierre's brother who married Abigail's sister. Emily Olssen Bleecker wrote in her memoirs (1930's) that it was his college chum Sam Unsworth and a Bishop Tuttle that were the influences for him to go West. She also wrote that Pierre's mother went with him for her health reasons and Charlie to pursue his career in mines after graduating from Columbia (p. 67). In the 1911 addition of "Who's Who in NY City and State" Pierre's career is spelled out on page 84. It states he was the assistant Minister at the Church of Good Shepherd in Ogden from 1879 to 1882. He then was a missionary in charge of St. John's Mission, Logan, UT and the Holy Innocents' Mission in Blackfoot, Idaho from 1882 to 1887. Pierre brought Abigail to New Jersey in 1887 (Emily Bleecker stated that Pierre did not like the climate) where he preached at St. James', Upper Montclair for three years. He then was the minister at St. Margaret's, Staatsburgh, NY from 1889 to 1897. It was while living there, in 1894, that Abigail died in childbirth, leaving only Pierre and their first child Alethea. Pierre married Phoebe Prout four years later (though I am not sure how and why they would have been married in Montana) and they were living in Schenectady in 1900 on State St. (US Census, ed. 134, p. 3a) with Phoebe's mother with them. He was rector of Christ Church, Schenectady from '98 to 1904. He was then in charge of several churches in Boyntonville and Mechanicsville, NY until for five years until he became the rector of Trinity Church, Ashland, NY until at least 1926. His mother often spent summers with them in Ashland and many of the Bleecker cousins spent time there as well. Pierre died at 93 Main St., Stoneham at age 95.

Abigail: Her parents were from England. According to Abigail's granddaughter, their journey to America was tragic. They had a baby while at sea, but the baby died and was buried at sea. When they headed West, twins were born and did not survive. But they had 11 children. Abigail trained as a nurse and worked as a visiting nurse in Albany, NY helping new mothers. However, she died while in childbirth. Her birthplace comes from Dirk Bleeker's work. Phoebe: They had no children. One family note says they were married 6 June 1898. Her birth place comes from the 1900 U.S. Census for Schenectady (ed. 134, p. 3a). Her mother Maria was living with them. The Picture of Pierre and others (c. 1940?) is of Phoebe P. Bleecker and his grandchildren Alethea B., Margaret Y., and Theodore P. Yates.

Lucy: She was the 8th of 12 children in her family. Lucy was living in Long Branch, NJ when she died, according to her burial record. However, an obituary (?) I have says she was living at 633 Scotland Ave., Orange, Essex, NJ when she died intestate.

208. Leonard Augustus Bleecker (125.Leonard6, 67.Leonard5, 32.Anthony4, 15.James3, 5.Rutger2, 1.Jan1) b. 27 Jan 1863, Jersey City, Hudson, NJ,258 baptized 24 May 1863, Bergen, Hudson, NJ; St. Paul's,259 Occupation: Merchant, m. 13 Jun 1890, in Chicago, Cook, IL; All Saint's,260 Florence Eleanor Victoria Deacon, b. 30 Oct 1866, Shipley, Yorkshire, England,261 (daughter of Abraham Deacon and Ann Hartley) d. 23 Dec 1949, Bloomfield, Essex, NJ,261 buried 24 Dec 1949, Scarsdale, Westchester, NY; St. James.117 Leonard died 2 Mar 1950, Bloomfield, Essex, NJ,262 buried 4 Mar 1950, Scarsdale, Westchester, NY; St. James.117

Leonard was born at Bergen Hill, Jersey City and lived for years in Bloomfield, NJ. He took over his father's heavy marine hardware business in New York City, located at 44 South St., and is credited with inventing the "Bleecker Stockless" anchor. It was used by several transatlantic steamships.

94

He sold the firm to 'William A. Hall and Sons' in 1935 which was later merged in the Baldt Anchor Company. Bleecker's anchor was then called the Baldt anchor. Leonard stayed with the firm until he retired in 1940. After he married Florence in 1890, they moved to Chicago where one of her sisters was living. Their first child was born there, but they relocated to Bloomfield by 1893 where the second child was born. They lived for a time with the large Bleecker clan at 86 Oakland Ave., Bloomfield. The also lived on Park St., Jersey St. and finally on Austin Place. Leonard was a member of the New York National Guard 22nd Infantry Regiment. He was called a Metal Merchant in the 1900 Census (NJ-ed. 199, p. 7b) and was mentioned in Rev. William W. Olssen's will dated 1904, living at 21 Park St., Bloomfield. He died at 23 Austin Place, Bloomfield. Leonard's burial record at St. James says he was buried 2 March, but that is not correct. (He is not with the family in Scarsdale in July of 1870 when the U.S. Census was taken).

Florence: One note I have from Dody Bleecker mentions the fact that Leonard and Florence lived at the Bleecker home at 86 Oakland Ave. in Bloomfield. It was Sherbrooke Popham Bleecker's house and she says he and Florence did not get along. Her birthplace does not come from her birth certificate, but from S. B. Fish's research. She was living at 23 Austin Place, Bloomfield where she died, after living in Bloomfield for the last 60 years. In the 1900 U.S. Census (NJ, ed. 199, p. 7b) she is 34 years old, born in England Oct. 1865 and imigrated 1880.

One is dated 20 March 1866 when John is being congradulated on some good grades of late. He did better in French and Naval gunnery than he did in "Practical Seamanship" and "Steam Engineering."

Anthony's obituary says he was born in Scarsdale, New York and went to the Trinity School in New York City. He was a Captain in the Spanish-American War and was in the Battle of Santiago with New York's 71st. Regiment.

99

Anthony's mother's obituary says he was a major of the 71st regiment of Manhattan when she died in 1907. To the family, he was simply "Jim" Bleecker. Though he spent his working life as the manager of the Singer Building, 149 Broadway, from 1908 until he retired in 1937, it was his love of history that has allowed his name to survive. Anthony was a founder of the "order of the Runnemede" and was a member of the Society of Colonial Wars. This helped him in his pursuit of Bleecker, Hill and Popham genealogy. He is the author of the 1927 published genealogy called "The descendants of William Hill and his wife Alethea Carmer" and the phenomenal amount of Bleecker descendants now in the protective possession of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society. Unfortunately, he did not publish that work, though a complete and thorough manuscript was completed. It is now at the NYGBR as well. Anthony was a member of the New York Holland Society and is listed in the 1914 Directory, admitted 1907. Anthony lived at 14 Mountain Rd., Tenafly, NJ where he died. His son-in-law and grandson Roger Hitchcock lived and died there as well. He, Bertha, Ripley and Helen are listed as living there in the New York Social Register of 1935.

Leonard was born at the family homestead, 86 Oakland Ave. He attended Princeton University, but his studies were interrupted as a Sophomore when he volunteered to be an ambulance driver for the 59th French Division during WW1. Along with young men from Harvard, Yale and Princeton, he served from 1917 to 1919 (the last year with the American Army). He was awarded the coveted French War Cross for pulling troops off the front lines. After the war, he stayed on in Paris to study for a time and then returned to Princeton in late 1919. His class had already graduated, so he studied another year and graduated in 1920. Leonard soon went to work for Thomas Edison at the Menlo Park factory. On 31 May 1921 Leonard asked to reassign from the Disk Plating Division because supervisors expected him to work seven days a week. He wrote that living in Elizabeth meant three hours of commuting each day. Edison wrote right over the top of the letter, "Have no place to transfer you. As you are dissatisfied you better quit. TE" After meeting his wife at the boarding house in Poukepsie, he and his bride settled in Roselle Park, NJ. He went to work for Banker's Trust in New York City where he later became Assistant Treasurer. For years he also volunteered for the juvenile rehabilitation services for the town from 1965 to 1976. He was also a member of the Holland Society and the Sons of the American Revolution and was also active in Princeton University activities. One interesting note. Leonard must be one of the few people to have had the privilege of having all three of his names also being streets in New York City. And all because of his ancestors as well.

Ella: Ella knew only Swedish until she went to school. She continued with languages, learning German, French and others. Ella graduated with that major from Syracuse University and taught languages until they married. She met Leonard at a boarding house in or around Poughkeepsie, NY. Mary: Mary was an home economics writer and lecturer. She graduated from Drew University and taught for many years on the subject. She was known as Dr. Armstrong, though I am not sure

123

where she received her doctorate. Armstrong was the name of her first husband. In her capacity, she did a great deal of travelling throughout the U.S. and indeed the world.

Bleecker, the wife of James Barclay Bleecker). From Peter Lessing:

Harry served on PC-563 during World War II and the following is a brief summary of that ship from U.S. Navy records.

PC-563 was built by Consolidated Shipbuilding Corporation of New York. Her keel was laid 20 December 1941; launched 17 May 1942; sponsored by Miss Eileen McCaffrey; and commissioned on 17 June 1942.

Following her fitting out, PC-563 got underway for her sound and shakedown training out of Florida. Upon completion of her training, PC-563 escorted merchant ships in the Atlantic until she shifted into the Pacific theater of war. She then reported to CinCPac, and following a brief stay along the west coast, she turned her bow west and headed into the Pacific theater.

She stopped at Pearl Harbor, where she formed up in convoy and proceeded on to the Philippine Islands, where she arrived with her ships on 20 October 1944. She departed once again, but returned a few days later with another group of ships. She continued her escort duties throughout the islands until the area was secured. She then made preparations for her next mission -- Okinawa.

PC-563 joined the invasion fleet convoy and sailed to Okinawaa arriving on Easter morning, 1 April 1945. Although under constant air attack by Japanese kamikaze planes, she remained on station until 20 may 1945 and the area was declared secured. She next returned to the rear area for a much needed upkeep and rest for her crew before sailing for the United States. Shortly after her arrival in San Diego, she was taken from service and turned over to the Maritime Administration for disposal. She was subsequently sold for commercial use.

PC-563 earned two battle stars for her World War II service.

Henry had is name legally changed to Harry when he was about 53 years old. He moved to Spring Valley, New York in 1923. graduated from Spring Valley High School in 1937 as valedictorian.

Joined the Navy in July of 1942 and was engaged in the Fall of 1942. He was commissioned an Ensign on March 5, 1943 and spent 2 years on PC 563 (a submarine

138

chaser). One year was in the Pacific. Involved in invasion of Leyte, Luzon, and Okinawa. He was captain of the ship for a short time in 1945. Returned to civilian life in December 1945 after obtaining rank of Lieutenant. Work in Michigan 1946-1949 for Michigan State College and for Mead Corporation. Returned to New York in Fall of 1949 and worked 13 years for Pennyork Lumber Corporation in the eastern Adirondacks as forester, timber buyer, and woods superintendent. Lived in Warrensburg.
