Historical/biog note:
Henry (Hendrick) I. Van Rensselaer (ca. 1742-1813) was the son of Johannes (1708-1783) and Engeltie (Livingston) Van Rensselaer who had inherited Claverack from his father Hendrick. Henry I. Van Rensselaer married Rachel Douw in 1765. In 1777 he was commissioned a colonel of the Continental forces. Johannes Van Rensselaer died in 1783 and in 1784 Claverack was divided among his children. Claverack originally encompassed lands south of Kinderhook, north of Livingston Manor, and west to the Hudson River and was the "Lower Manor" to the "Upper Manor" of Rensselaerwyck.
Abstract:
The papers are primarily accounts, bills, and receipts, for the most part dated 1770 to 1800. Land papers consist of a land conveyance by Killian Van Rensselaer of Rensselaerwyck to Hendrikus Whitbeck in 1698 and a map. The map is a portion of Claverack, Columbia County, New York by Peter B. Ten Broeck, Nov. 30, 1790. The map gives the names of land occupants.
