RESOLVED WALDRON
AMSTERDAM, NEW AMSTERDAM
(c1620-1690)

Late in 1654, two brothers, Joseph and Resolved Waldron, emigrated with their families from the Netherlands to New Amsterdam, New York. The older of their children were believed to be born in Amsterdam.

Resolved Waldron was first married in Amsterdam in 1645. His marriage record indicates his birth in Amsterdam was ca 1620. His actual birth date is the subject of dispute by genealogists. Amsterdam records also indicate that Resolved’s parents were William Waldron and Ruth Walker. (William born ca. September 20, 1589.)

It is generally accepted that Resolved’s parents came to Amsterdam from the parish of Goodworth, Clatford in England and that William Waldrons’s parents were John and Joan Waldron of Wherewell, Hampshire, England.

Ruth (Walker) Waldron, Resolved’s mother, was purported to be born about 1595 in Marked Overton, Rutland, England, the daughter of Edward Walker. Ruth married William Waldron in Amsterdam, August 19, 16l5. It is believed that William and Ruth Waldron died prior to 1639. Their children were: 1. Joseph, b. ca. 1617, married 1st Aeltze Hendricks, 2nd Annetze Daniels 2. Resolved, b. ca. 1620, married 1st Rebecca Hendricks, 2nd Tanneke Nagels.

Resolved’s first marriage to Rebecca Hendricks took place in Diemen, a suburb of Amsterdam on August 20, 1645. She was baptized in Amsterdam on November 5, 1627. At the time of his marriage, Resolved’s occupation was given as a book printer apprentice. Rebecca died between January 2, 1652 and April 23, 1654.

Resolved’s second marriage was to Tanneke Nagels in the New Church in Amsterdam, May 10, 1654. At the time Tanneke was 30 years old and from Groningen, Holland. Her parents were deceased by then.

As mentioned above, the brothers Joseph and Resolved Waldron immigrated to New Amsterdam during the last half of 1654 or possibly early in 1655. On April 3, 1655 they bought a house on Broadway near Wall Street. On May 3, 1657, Resolved Waldron was made a burgher of New Amsterdam, and on May 25, 1658 he was made provost and deputy sheriff.

He continued as deputy sheriff until 1664. At the time of the British conquest of New Amsterdam in 1664, he signed an oath of allegiance to the British. Later he moved to the village of Harlem, in upper Manhattan, where he held several public offices. He was a magistrate there in 1673 at the time of the Dutch reconquest at which time he signed the oath of allegiance to the Dutch. He was a patentee of Harlem in 1686.

He died in 1690. An inventory of his estate being taken on May 17, 1690. Tanneke Nagels survived, and died after November 25, 1690.
