SUMMARY OF DATA ON ROSEBOOM ANCESTORS OF EUGENE H. ROSEBOOM

The best source of information on the first Roseboom family in North America is: A Brief History of the Ancestors and Descendants of John Roseboom (1739-1805) and Jesse Johnson (1745-1832) compiled by Catherine Roseboom, Dr. J. Livingston Roseboom, Rev. Harry U. Swinnerton and Joseph H. White, Cherry Valley, New York. This covers the period from 1630 to 1897, apparently the date of publication. I have a copy.

The above is vague about the arrival of the first Roseboom, Hendrick Janse Roseboom, "He appears to have come from Holland about 1655". The Ship Passenger Lists, New York and New Jersey (1600-1825) edited and complied by Carl Boyer, 3rd and published by him - Newhall, California 1978 clarifies this on p.82. Hendrick Jansz Rooseboom, a tailor's apprentice, arrived at Fort Orange, now Albany in 1657. He had been hired on 8 April, 1657 by Jan Hendrick van Baelen, a tailor along with two others later the same year.

Roseboom, Hendrick Janse, trader, was the Voorlezer and sexton of the church; in 1674, he brought a suit to recover his fees from a man who had employed the grave-digger of the Lutheran church, styled an interloper; judgment for the plaintiff 18 guilders. His house and lot originally Pieter Bronck's was on the east side of North Pearl street, 162 Rynlandft. north of Maiden Lane, and in 1677, the stockades passed through it and the gate (called Roseboom's gate) and the burgher blockhouse were situated there; this was one of the best business places in the village because the Indians entered chiefly through this gate. He was for many years farmer of the slaughter excise. His first wife was Gysbertje Lansing; in his old age he married Tryntje Janse Van Breestede, widow of Rutger Jacobsen; d. Nov. 4, 1703.

In 1700, Johannes Cuyler and Evert Bancker were deacons of the Church at Albany. The collections taken up in the church on the first Sunday in January amounted to 218 g. 14 s. John Kidnie paid 54 g. for half a year's rent of the east end of the poor house, which seems to have been vacant by the decrease in the number of the poor; the old names having all disappeared from the list. It appears that Hendrick Roseboom received 400g. from the city and county besides his salary from the church; and he was voted 50 guilders extra pay for services as voorlezer during the time the church was without a pastor before the arrival of Dom. Uncella, which seems to have been on the 16th of April, 1699. On the 15th of February, Ryseck, widow of Gerrit Swart, the last of the church poor, died, and was buried on the 17th, the onkosten of which was as follows: 3 dry boards for the coffin, 7:10; 3/4 lb. nails, 1:10; making the coffin, 249.; cartage, 103.; a half vat and an anker of good beer, 27 g.; 1 gal. rum, 21 g.; 6 gall. Madeira for women and men, 84 g.; Sugar and cruyery, 5 g.;150 sugar cakes, 15 g.; tobacco and pipes, 4:10; Hendrick Roseboom, doodgraver, 30 g.; use of the pall, 12 g.; total, 232 g. A claim of Roseboom of 12 g. for inviting to the funeral (prelendeerde voor'taenspreken buyten d' stad) was paid; but it was regarded as an extortionate charge, and the consistory ordered that the doodgraver should thereafter have from the deacons 30 guilders and no more, for like services. Mary, wife of Jacob Lookermans, was paid 6 g. for assistance (handry kingh) at the burial, and Marritje, widow of Harme Lievertse, who had long received a monthly stipend for nursing and board, was paid the same as for a full month, as was the custom, 36 g. A statement of the Ryseck Swart during four years is given, amounting to 2229 g. 10 s., and she is credited with effects, consisting of silver ware, jewelry, etc., and a lot on the plain (tuyn erffop de plyn) which were appraised by the patroon and Jacob Turck at 644 g. 10 s., which in seawant was 1585 g. On the 20th of July Dom. Johannes Lydius and Dom. Bernardus Freerman arrived (the latter the second pastor at Schenectady). On Sunday the 21st they both assisted in the services (elck eens gepredikt), and on the following Sunday Dom. Lydius preached his introductory sermon. New improvements were made on the domine's house, and a new turned bedstead was purchased for Dom. Lydius at 40 g. A payment of 160 g. was made by Nanningh and Frederick Harmense towards their saw mill on the Bevers kil. A payment of 506 g. was made upon the expenses of Dom. Lydius from Antwerp. The receipts were nearly 4000 guilders, and although there were many extraordinary expenses, there remained 853:12 in the treasury. The signatures to this year's business are those of

Occupation Tailor. John came on the WILLIAM & FRANCIS, (another source gives the ship name as Francis and James) Sailing from London March 9, 1632 and arrived in New England, June 05, 1632. He came with Edward Winslow, afterwards Governor of the Plymouth Colony. In 1637/38, a garden place at Willingsley Brook and six acres upon Woberry Plain, in Plymouth County, were granted "John Smalley"; and in 1640, five acres in the south Meadows towards Agawam, Colebrook Meadows. These tree lots of land he sold, March 21, 1644, to Edmund Tilson, with all his house and housing and garden place . September 07, 1641, he was propounded for freeman; admitted and sworn, March 01, 1641/42. In August, 1643 " John Smalley " appeared in a list of "all the males that are able to bear armes from 15 years old to 60 years within the several Townshipps," in Plymouth Colony. He was among the prominent men who removed from Plymouth in April 1644, to Nauset (Now Eastham), far down on Cape Cod, were John. Resided in Plymouth. freeman March 1, 1642. Moved to Eastham, Mass. 1645, and Piscataway by 1670. John Smalley, and associate of Richard Higgins and other pioneers in the settlement at Nausett, was neither freeman nor tax Payer at Plymouth in 1636. He was, However at Plymouth as early as 1638. By trade he was a tailor. He seems to have taken but very little part of public affairs. He was admitted a freeman at Plymouth in 1642. He was a constable at Nausett in 1646, A surveyor in 1649, and of the Grand Inquest in 1654, 1660, and 1665. He was specially favored by the court, and had land granted him in 1658 between Bridgewater and Weymouth, and in 1662 near Taunton. John Smalley married Ann Walden in Plymouth, Nov. 19, 1638. Or the date could have been November 29, 1638 No full list of his children appears. He had Hannah, born at Plymouth, June 14, 1641; John, at Plymouth, Sept. 1644; Isaac and Mary twins Dec. 11, 1647. The time of his death is not known, and we fail to find any settlement of his estate. He was living in January, 1668, and had a ward some six years of age, who wandered six or seven miles from his house into the woods and died from exposure. John Smalley was undoubtedly a man who did not seek notoriety. He seemed to enjoy the quietness of his farm more than the honors and troubles of office. He lived in peace with all men, there can be no doubt, and we gathered to his fathers in peace. Many have supposed that from him descended the Smalley or Smalls of the Cape. Ann Walden died on Jan 29, 1694 in Piscataway, New Jersey. In April, 1644, he was among the group form Plymouth to remove to Eastman, far down the Cape Cod. At Eastham he helped to organize the place, and then about 1667, with his wife and two sons he removed to Little Compton, R.I., but soon afterward with Richard Higgins and others he removed to Piscataway, Middlesex Co., N.J., where he was among the earliest of Pioneer freeholders.

It will be remembered that in a previous chapter an account was given of how John Martin, Charles Gilman, Hugh Dun, and Hopewell Hull, had removed to New Jersey from Piscataqua, New England, in response to the "Concessions and Agreements" published in the East by the lords-proprietors, Berkeley and Carteret. They received a grant on the eighteenth of December, 1666, for the large area of territory which now embraces the township of Piscataway. Within twenty years settlers from New England and the old country had augmented the nucleus of population formed by the Piscataway families to about four hundred.
