Received with his br. Joseph, and their w. to the fellowship of the chh. at New Amsterdam..." The main biography continues with the line of Resolved Waldron. Footnoted (Pg 554-556) is the biography of his brother Joseph Waldron: "Joseph Waldron, "living near the hoeck of Passenger Street" in Amsterdam on the eve of his second marriege, appeared before the orphan masters, May 12, 1649...and gave bond for maintenance of his two chn. by his late w. Aeltie Hendricks; ...one of these perhaps was left at Amsterdam with its gd-mo., Maria Goverts, since it is not named in our records here, ...and Waldron was wont to order part of his salary to be paid his said mo.; the last notice was on Aug. 30, 1661 being two months' wages, 48 florins. He was butler to the garrison, and had charge of the magazine of the company. Waldron d. in 1663. Just before his end, sending for a notary to draw up his will, he said "there would be nothing left - but if anything whould remain, it should not be touched, but go to pay the passage of his widow who intended to leave for Fatherland". ...It appear(s) that there were "six minor children, two of whom are by a former marriage", the orphan's court of New Amsterdam, Dec. 10 1663, at the desire of the wid. Annetie Daniels, appointed Resolved Waldron, "her husband's brother" and Hendrick Jansen vander Vin...as guardians of her surviving chn. It is uncertain whether she visited Holland, as she was m. here in 1668 to Harman Smeeman and again in 1682 to Coenraet Ten Eyck. Joseph Waldron's children known to us were Sarah, Daniel, Mary, Anna, Deborah and John. Deborah d. in inf., and John when not quite 8 yrs. old... Daniel Waldron, b. 1650 at Amsterdam, m. in 1673 Sarah Rutgers, dr. of Rutger Willemsen. He was a gun-stock maker, but while serving in the city guards against Leister, lost an eye and was otherwise badly hurt by the premature discharge of "a great gone" (sic), Mar. 19, 1691....Daniel Waldron and his son Joseph were admitted freemen Aug. 30, 1698, He had chn.

Source notes
- "Leisler's Rebellion was an uprising in late 17th century colonial New York, in which militia captain Jacob Leisler seized control of lower New York from 1689 to 1691. The uprising, which occurred in the midst of Britain's "Glorious Revolution," reflected colonial resentment against the policies of King James II. Royal authority was restored in 1691 by British troops sent by James' successor, William III." per Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leisler%27s_Rebellion
- "Leister(sic) troubles of 1690" are referred to in a piece in the New Amsterdam Gazette edition of June-July 1890, specifically about the old Dutch Reformed Church, located at 121st Street & 3rd Ave with property between present day 120th and 123rd Street. "Among the subscribers... the names of Tourneur, Dyckman, Kortright, Bogert, van Brevoort, and Geresolveert, (Resolved) Waldron, for one hundred florins each – every man of note in the colony for some substantial sum." The article also notes that "until the organization of Saint Mary’s Episcopal congregation at Manhattanville, the Reformed Dutch Church at Harlem was the only church of any denomination within the limits of Harlem, which, as a separate village organization comprised the upper half of the island of Manhattan..." Per the uprising of 1690, "the Harlem people naturally took sides with the martyred Dutch governor, who had been executed for his fidelity to the rights of the people, and they cut loose from the brethren of New Amsterdam ... The breach was soon healed however, and the church grew strong and prosperous." See Google books:
