Any contr ibut i on to th e early h istory of NewYork City

fir st known as New Ams terdam—awakens peculiar interest.Th e p ioneer men and women Wh o la id th e foundat i ons or

endured th e hardships of life in th e formative period of th e

Metropolis of th e Emp i re S tate deserve to be held in grateful

remembrance . These p i oneers were not ti tled people. But

few of them possessed weal th . They were quite unconscious

of doing anyth ing to be recorded in history . No profess i onal

chronicler was at hand to take note of the ir brave deeds .

They are known to us today chiefly through th e public

records of th e S tate and of th e Church,—when they were

born,and marr ied and died

,and what property they ac

quired , and to whom it was transm itted,—to obtain even

these facts is no sligh t labor . Th e wr iter has a t temp ted to

do more than th is wi th reference to th e fam il ies of wh ich h e

treats . Every ava ilable incident in th e ind ivi dual lives of

th e Colonial per iod is in troduced in th e pr inted page, so that

th e work becomes a series of b iograph ical studies .

There are two d is t inct periods in th e Colon ial h istory of

New Y ork—th e Dutch per iod of 50 years,extend ing from

1 61 4 to 1 664, th e date of S tuyvesant’s surrender to th e English

fleet—and th e Engli sh per iod of 1 60 years,f rom 1 664 to 1 773

,

when th e R evolutionary W ar began .

Among th e p ioneers wh o figured conspiciousl y in both

these periods were some whose li ves have not h i therto been

made prom inen t . Their names are Cresson,de la Plaine

The D e Riemer Family.

A . D . 1 640— 1 90 3 .

Th e progeni tors of th e D e R iemer fam ily in New Amsterdamwere Isaac D e R ieme r and Lysbe t Grevenraet (some time sspe lled G reveraad

,and G reefraadt, and G raeveradt) , sister of

I saac Grevenr aet,and daughter of Metje G .

The name D e R iemer (various ly spe l led de R ymer,D

’

Ryom er,

and D e R eamer,D e R eme r

,and D erumer) indicates a French

origin and Huguenot stock,but this couple were from Holland .

Genealogists concede,what a thorough investigation of D utch

records will doubtless prove,that th e fam ily ance stors were

re fugees from France who h ad,some generat ions previously , on

account o f anti-R om ish convictions,fled from France and r e

ma ined in Holland until they had become adherents of th eR e forme d re l igion and users of th e D utch language . G . W .

Schuyler ( in Colon ia l N ew York,Vol . I I

Nicholas Gouverneur and h is wife Mach te l t D e R iemer were of

French extraction, but emigrated to New Amsterdam through

Holland .
