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. Joseph b. 1674; Judith, b. 1675, m. Mr. Isaac Selover; Rutgers, b. 1677; Annetie b. 1681, m. Francis Buys and Isaac van Duersen; Sarah, b. 1683, m. Carsten Burger; John, b. 1685; Maria, b. 1686 m, Frederick Williams; Cornelia, b. 1688, m. Gerrit de Forest; and Catharine, b. 1689, m. Isaac Boelen. The last d. in her 83rd yr. in 1772, her srs. Sarah and Cornelia surviving her; and of the others, Judith lived to be 85, Annetie 84 and Mary 80. Their mo. d. Jan. 7, 1738, (in her) 95th year.

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.
