Genealogical Data from Colonial New York Newspapers: A Consolidation of Articles from The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record by: Kenneth Scott (Compiler)

Genealogical Data from Colonial New York Newspapers: A Consolidation of Articles from The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record
by: Kenneth Scott (Compiler)

Softcover. Baltimore, Clearfield, reprint, 2000, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, light gray wrappers, 278 pages. This volume consists of abstracts of genealogical data from four of New York's earliest newspapers--the New-York Gazette (1726-1744) and the New-York Weekly Journal (1733-1751), the two earliest city papers, and the New-York Mercury and the Weekly Mercury (1752-1783). These newspapers were originally produced as weeklies and usually consisted of four pages, with occasional supplementary issues. Their subject matter encompassed essays, treatises, parliamentary proceedings, governors' messages, European and West Indian news, shipping news, incidents culled from other newspapers, and many advertisements. In this volume of abstracts may be found items yielding information concerning marriage, birth, death, age, status, place of residence, and place of origin, covering, in all, the years 1726 through most of 1783. Treatment is not confined to New York, for among individuals mentioned are those from all the other colonies, especially New Jersey (which had no newspaper in the colonial period), New England, Pennsylvania, and Maryland.

Grand Central's Engineer, William J. Wilgus & the Planning of Modern Manhattan by: Schlichting, Kurt C.

Grand Central's Engineer, William J. Wilgus & the Planning of Modern Manhattan
by: Schlichting, Kurt C.

Hardcover. Baltimore, Johns Hopkins University Press, 1st, 2012, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover, 276 pages, b&w illustrations. Few people have had as profound an impact on the history of New York City as William J. Wilgus. As chief engineer of the New York Central Railroad, Wilgus conceived the Grand Central Terminal, the city's magnificent monument to America's Railway Age. Kurt C. Schlichting here examines the remarkable career of this innovator, revealing how his tireless work moving people and goods over and under Manhattan Island's surrounding waterways forever changed New York's bustling transportation system. After his herculean efforts on behalf of Grand Central, the most complicated construction project in New York's history, Wilgus turned to solving the city's transportation quandary: Manhattan - the financial, commercial, and cultural hub of the United States in the twentieth century - was separated from the mainland by two major rivers to the west and east, a deep-water estuary to the south, and the Harlem River to the north. Wilgus believed that railroads and mass transportation provided the answer to New York City's complicated geography. His ingenious ideas included a freight subway linking rail facilities in New Jersey with manufacturers and shippers in Manhattan, a freight and passenger tunnel connecting Staten Island and Brooklyn, and a belt railway interconnecting sixteen private railroads serving the metropolitan area.

Old Bergen (NJ): History and Reminiscences by: Daniel Van Winkle

Old Bergen (NJ): History and Reminiscences
by: Daniel Van Winkle

Softcover. Bowie MD, Heritage Books, reprint, 1997, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 325 pages, b&w illustrations. The village of Bergen, established in 1660, was the first permanent settlement in New Jersey. Now known as Hoboken and Jersey City, the marshy land on which Bergen was founded is just across the Hudson River from New York. At the beginning of this century, when this book was written((1902), the Bergen region was still known for an old-fashioned charm. Mr. Van Winkle used sources such as colonial and revolutionary documents, old newspaper articles and individual's reminiscences to compile this pleasant and enjoyable history. Light pencil marking to 10 pages.

Revised History of Harlem (City Of New York): Its Origin And Early Annals - Volume 1by: Riker, James

Revised History of Harlem (City Of New York): Its Origin And Early Annals - Volume 1
by: Riker, James

Softcover. Bowie MD, Heritage Books, reprint, 2001, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 425 pages. A facsimile reprint of the 1904 edition. Volume 1 ONLY. The present-day New York City neighborhood of Harlem was founded in the mid-17th century by Dutch Protestants, whose numbers included Huguenots (or their descendants) who had fled the counter-Reformation in France and the Walloon provinces of Artois, Cambresis, and Hainalt. Riker's Harlem is an extremely detailed historical and genealogical account of Harlem from its establishment by Kuyter and Stuyvesant between 1656 and 1660 to the end of the 17th century. Following several preliminary chapters on the Dutch and French context for the settlement of "New Haerlem," the author treats us to what seem like minute-by-minute accounts of its colonial development, including early efforts to settle the territory that became Harlem, the original land patents and their subsequent rearrangement, Indian wars, displacement of Dutch rule by the British in 1663 (and the brief reoccupation by Dutch forces in 1673), 17th-century village life, migrations to New Jersey, influx of Swedes, difficulties in assimilating English ways, and much, much more.

Revolutionary Census of New Jersey: An Index Based on Rateables of the Inhabitants of New Jersey During the Period of the American Revolution by: Stryer-Rodda, Kenn

Revolutionary Census of New Jersey: An Index Based on Rateables of the Inhabitants of New Jersey During the Period of the American Revolution
by: Stryer-Rodda, Kenn

Hardcover. Lambertville NJ, Hunterdon House, Revised Ed., 1986, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Hardcover, red cloth with gilt stamping on spine. 413 pages of valuable genealogy information. First published in 1972, this is the Revised Edition, slightly expanded with corrections. From the Anyone who has attempted genealogical research in New Jersey is aware of the fact that the federal census returns for the state for the years 1790, 1800, 1810 and 1820 are not extant. Moreover, only a few fragments of colonial censuses exist, and many records of the colonial period -- public, private, and ecclesiastical -- were destroyed, or taken away by Loyalists during the Revolutionary War. The only records that are state-wide are the tax rateables. Of at least 50,000 such lists compiled between 1773 and 1822, some 1,845 have been preserved. For the Revolutionary period there is at least one list for each of the townships into which the thirteen counties of the colony/state were divided. Lists for Salem, Sussex, Cape May, and Cumberland counties for the years 1773-1774 are complete; for Burlington County, only Chesterfield Township is missing; and for Gloucester County there are lists for four of the seven townships. For the years 1778-1780 there are similar lists for all but three of the remaining townships of the state -- and for them the first existing records are of 1784 or 1785. To keep sharp focus, the lists for the three periods have been separately indexed. No dust jacket issued. Clean, bright copy.
