Joseph and Resolved Waldron, brothers, and sons of Resolved Waldron, of Amsterdam, book printers, bought here in 1655.— TV. Y. Col. MSS., Ill: 130 (Albany); Rec. N. Am., I: 373.
Resolved (Resolveert or Geresolveert, as the Dutch wrote it) was of English ancestry. He was under schout, assisting Schouts De Sille and Tonneman, during the years 16581663. — Ibid., II: 400, etc.; Ill: 86, no, etc. As schout's officer, we find him accusing several who "tapped during the sermon" and at other unlawful hours; who sold fish on Sunday {ibid.. Ill: 192-3, 218); and who boarded ships "contrary to the Ordinance and Placard" {ibid.. Ill: 241-2); he hales them into court for fighting and disturbing the peace {ibid., IV: 191); and fines them for repairing their carts of a Sunday. — Ibid., IV: 342. He seems to have been a ubiquitous personage about the city, and to have made an excellent record as constable, though he is charged by Quakers, whom he often arrested, with being hard-hearted. — Riker's Hist, of Harlem, 555. In 1657, he gained the burgherright. — Rec. N. Am., VII: 158. Resolved sold the more northerly of the two houses shown on the Plan to the deacons of the city. May 8, 1662 {Liber Deeds, A: 263); went to Haarlem in 1664 (Riker, 235), and was one of the freeholders named in the Nicolls patent to the town of New Haarlem, October 11, 1667. — Ibid., 271-2. He became constable there in 1665 {Rec. N. Am., V: 254); was an overseer from 1668 to 1671 {ibid., VI: 150, 207, 282), and also served as under schout. — Ibid., VI: 400. Resolved married, in Holland, first, Rebecca Hendricks, daughter of Hendrick Koch, of Amsterdam; and second, Tanneke Nagel (May 10, 1654).— Riker, 104.
In the Journal of Jasper Danckaerts, edited by James and Jameson, pp. 65-6, there is a brief picture of him :
we remained over night at the house of one Geresolveert schout (sheriff or constable) of the place [New Harlem], who had formerly lived in Brazil, [i] and whose heart was still full of it. This house was constantly filled with people, all the time drinking, for the most part, that execrable rum.
He died at Harlem in 1690, leaving a good estate in "lands, slaves, farm-stock, etc." — Riker's Hist, of Harlem, 557.
Joseph Waldron had preceded Resolved to this country, arriving in 1652. He had married the sister of his brother's wife, Aeltie Hendricks. He is found as one of the nine labourers at the warehouse and scales of the Company in 1657. — Rec. N. Am., VII: 146. On the death of his first wife, he married Annetje Daniel, and died in 1663 (Riker, S5Sn), leaving her a widow with six minor children. From an entry in the Minutes of the Orphan Court, trans, by O'Callaghan, 347, we know that she intended to return to Holland. If she went, she as certainly came back, for she married Harman Smeeman, December i, 1668, and Coenraet Ten Eyck (her fourth husband), April 15, 1682. — Marriages in Ref. Dutch Ch., 33, SI- As the widow of the last-named, she sold the house here shown to John Delamontagne, May 10, 16S8.— Liber Deeds, XVIII: 57.
