This book traces the genealogy of the Dutcher family from their arrival in the New World as Dutch fur traders in the 17th century through to the American Revolution. The author assembled a vast collection of public records to reconstruct the family's journey from their initial settlement in New Netherland to their later migration to the Hudson Valley and into Connecticut. The depth of research reveals the hardships and triumphs experienced by the family in shaping their new nation, and in preserving their Dutch heritage through the generations. The book delves into the complexities of their lineage and their contributions to local and national life, including military service and civic leadership. This text will appeal to anyone interested in the history of the Colonial period, genealogy, and the Dutch heritage of the United States.

Excerpt from Our Colonial Ancestors and Their Descendants: Historical, Genealogical, Biographical

Unlike the settlement of the New England colonies which began through religious persecution, that of New York and other Middle States began through the commercial enterprise of merchants of the Old World.

Hendrick Hudson, an Englishman, sailing in the employ of Holland merchants, started on his voyage of discovery in the "Half-Moon," April 6, 1609, from Amsterdam, and came to anchor in the "Great River of the Mountains," September 11, 1609. He ascended the river as far as Albany, and after formally taking possession of the whole domain which he had discovered in the name of the States-General of Holland, he sailed for England.

Upon the announcement of these discoveries at home, the enterprising merchants of North Holland, under whose auspices they had been made, united themselves into a company and received from the States-General a special trading-license or charter, dated October 11, 1614.
