6651 Stephen was a military captain in 1774; a colonel in 1778. At the first outbreak of the Revolution, he took an active and leading part in opposition to the oppressive measures of the British ministry. The town on 6 Dec 1774 established "a superior and an inferior court to hear and determine controversies that had arisen, or might arise in that town." He was chosen as one of the inferior judges.
On 19 Mar 1776 he was chosen as a member of the "Committee of Correspondence, Inspection, and Safety." On 22 May 1776 he was one of a committee of five to prepare instructions to the representative of the town. Among other thins, it the representative was told that if the Continental Congress should declare the country independent of Great Britain, he should in behalf of the town, sustain and defend them in so doing.
In October 1777, he commanded a company form Attleborough, stationed for one month in Rhode Island. On 12 Jan 1778, Col. Stephen Richardson, his brother, Capt. Caleb Richardson, and five others were chosen to prepare instructions to the representatives of the town, relative to the articles of Confederation. Col. Stephen Richardson and two others were chosen on 2 Aug 1779 as member of the convention to meet at Concord the following October for the purpose of forming a state constitution. He was a representative of the town of Attleborough in 1783 and 1785.

6665 Stuart's "Royalty For Commoners" (94:33) calls him King of Lombardy and Count of Burgundy and Macon. This is also the source for his 2nd marriage to ADELAIDE/BLANCHE OF ANJOU.

Quoting from Christopher Cope's "The Lost Kingdom of Burgundy": "CONRAD was succeeded as King of Burgundy in 993 by his son Rudolph III. In 1006 the EMPORER HENRY II siezed Basel and extracted a promise from Rudolph to name him as his heir. Rudolph was childless and HENRY was his oldest nephew; however the prospect was anethema in Burgundy to high and low alike, and when Otto William, the most powerful lord in the kingdom, raised the standard of revolt in 1016, many rallied to him; few Burgundians wished to be ruled by the alien Germans. But Otto William was more than a folk hero, he was a man of high ambition. A contemporary wrote of him, 'Though nomially a vassal of the King of Burgundy, Otto William was resolved to be soverign master of his own territories.' "Otto Willam whose mother was Burgundian, was the son and grandson of the last 'national' kings of Italy, now ousted by the OTTONIAN EMPORERS. He was initially Count of Macon and Count of Burgundy, which means he held the lands north and west of the Jura known today as Franche Compte. In 1002 he was chosen by the bishops and barons of the area to succeed his stepfather [Henry I Capet] as Duke of Burgundy, but he was expelled from the Duchy after a long conflict by the KING OF FRANCE, ROBERT CAPET. The latter's younger son, also ROBERT, became Duke of Burgundy, founding the junior branch of the Capetian dynasty...." "Unhappily Otto William divided his efforts between his ambitons in Italy and in Burgundy and was defeated in both - perhaps the first case of a Burgundian prince failing in Burgundy because of involvement in Italy. But he and his allies continued to defy Rudolph and to challenge HENRY's claims to the succession. Their efforts seemed rewarded when HENRY died in 1024, for his successor, CONRAD, THE FIRST FRANCONIAN EMPORER, had only a very distant claim of blood to the Burgundian throne. However, he had married one of Rudolph's nieces and in 1026 Otto William died, and so Rudolph set aside the rights of his [i.e. Rudolph's) nephew and heir ODO OF BLOIS [aka EUDES II, COUNT OF BLOIS AND CHAMPAIGN] and on his death-bed in 1032 he sent Burgundy's regalia to CONRAD."

6678 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.

Collections on the History of Albany. p. 158
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. Ch: Johannes; Gerrit (?); Henderik; Myndert(?); Margarita, w. of Pieter Thomase Mingael.

van Deusen Genealogy, p. 63
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

6679 SUMMARY OF DATA ON ROSEBOOM ANCESTORS OF EUGENE H. ROSEBOOM (cont.)
Garret's second son, Hendrick is listed in the bible as born May 27, 1757. This is the birthdate of Hendrick Roseboom who was a sergeant in the New Jersey Militia during the American Revolution. His pension application (in the National Archives) filed from Ross County, Ohio in 1833 indicates he moved from Somerset County, New Jersey about 1788 to Hampshire County, Virginia and then to Ross County, Ohio in 1800. The DAR patriot index lists him as "Henry Rosebroom" and his wife as "Rachel Smawley" probably Smalley.

6680 SUMMARY OF DATA ON ROSEBOOM ANCESTORS OF EUGENE H. ROSEBOOM (cont.)
Our lineage is through Hendrick Janse's third child Gerrit and Maria Sanders. Their first child Hendrick was born Dec. 15, 1690 and married a Debora (no last name given, see Appendix c. Bible of Gerrit Roseboom).This is not to be confused with the Hendrick of the first generation who married a Debora Staats. Our Hendrick and Debora (?) seem to disappear from the Albany area although there are records of many other Rosebooms in that area up to the present.

At this point the trail becomes thin. The History of Hunterdon and Somerset Counties quotes an earlier Dr. Messler that "between 1681 to 1699 there had arrived from Long Island the following heads of families, mostly of Dutch extraction: ....... At North and South Branch.....Hendrick Roesenboom, .... (p. 561)". This is part of a long list of about 150 names. The source of the 1699 date is not clear.

6681 SUMMARY OF DATA ON ROSEBOOM ANCESTORS OF EUGENE H. ROSEBOOM (cont.)
The next major source is a Family Bible (see enclosed) in the DAR library in Washington DC. This Bible was originally that of Robert Roseboom (born in 1693, died 1764) and Ryghie Roseboom (original notes written in Dutch). They were 1st cousins as indicated by the dates and names in appendix c and d, Brief History ... and married in 1743, when she would have been 43 years old. Not surprisingly, they died without offspring. Robert's will was probated in 1764 and mentions only his wife, brothers Hendrick, Ahasverus, Geysbert, John, and sister Elsje. Apparently their Bible was passed to Robert Roseboom, the grandson of Robert Roseboom's older brother Hendrick (born Dec. 16 1690, who married Debora (?).

I recall looking up Robert Roseboom's will in the DAR library about 1972 and remember that it said that he was leaving to (?) "my lands in Poughkeepsie, of which I am not now in possession". This ties him to the Appendix (h) in "A Brief History of ....." and an oral tradition in my family that we once owned the city of Poughkeepsie. This land was acquired from the Rosebooms in a well-known court case where the local Episcopalian Church sued and acquired the land since the owners were not living anywhere near it and, they argued, had abandoned it.

The other Bible entries were apparently recorded by Robert Roseboom, and start with "My father, Garret Roseboom born July 19, 1722." This fits with the Somerset County Historical Quarterly vol. 4, p. 143, where a Gerrit was baptized by Hendrick and Debora Roseboom on August 17, 1722 -Readington Reformed Church. The second generation Hendrick mentioned in "Brief History ...." above born in 1790 would have been 33 years old.
