Manhattan: Seeds of the
Big Apple
by: Gloria Waldron
Hukle
This is a
wonderful fictional book based on my Waldron family tree. This
family line is connected thru the Forshee and Smith
(Terry) lines. "In 1653, lower Manhattan was a Dutch community of about
120 houses, its people protected by a fort and a log wall which stood as
a defense against Indian attacks. Today’s Wall Street follows the line
of that ancient plank wall.
Sheriff Resolved Waldron, his wife, Tennake, and their three children
lived at the present day crossing of Wall Street and Broadway. There
along with them on Block B, across the street from the Dutch West India
Company’s enormous garden, resided Augustine Herrman, Peter Schaefbanck,
the jailor, Hendrick Hendricksen, and Domine (clergy) Samuel Drisius.
These were but a few of America's first immigrants. This is their
story."

"Three and a half centuries ago,
Peter Stuyvesant, the Governor of the Dutch New Netherland Colony
made Resolved Waldron an offer that would ultimately change the
lives of thousands of Americans. Having survived the failed Dutch
Colony of Brazil, and the death of his first wife, Waldron was
familiar with the pain of loss. Despite all he had endured, like
scores of others who settled here, he was determined to begin
again."
Cole/Coal family Crest: Derived
from the Old English word coll, which means hill, and indicates that the
original bearer lived near such a land form.
