| 2 | Harlem Commons Syndicate of New York, New York Times, various issues of 1880-1890, see link at right. This syndicate of Dutch landowners in New Amsterdam/New York fought to retain their land rights as the city apparently condemned land for the building of piers, and for the building of the Harlem River Ship Canal. In this regard the land acquisitions of Resolved Waldron mentioned in James Riker's "Harlem (City of New York)" are of interest. The Spuyten Duyvil neighborhood is mentioned as is the Round Meadow, in this neighborhood. (Use link to text at right). (Additional items re. the Syndicate connection below):

Source notes
- From the book "Harlem (City of New York), Its Origin and Early Annals", by James Riker", it is unclear which of the two wives of Joseph Waldron was the mother of Daniel Waldron. Annetje Daniels' surname, in the Dutch usage of the time, translates as "daughter of Daniel", which then makes it likely that Daniel Waldron was her son and named for his grandfather. It is clear from this source that Joseph had already remarried before immigration. The biography re. Resolved Waldron says that he immigrated in 1654, and that he then with his brother Joseph and their wives were received into the New Amsterdam church. The implication is that Resolved & Joseph immigrated together, but the year of Joseph's immigration is not actually explicit.
