- 9th great-grandfather of Barbara Joyce Zanzig
Resolved Waldron was born on 10 May 1620 at Amsterdam, Amsterdam, Noord Holland, NetherlandsB,G.1
Both Joseph and Resolved, sons of Resolved, were book printers. The family was English; the name, of repute in England from the time of [William] the Conqueror, had spread through nearly all its southern tier of counties. But born and raised at Amsterdam these brothers had acquired the characteristics of Hollanders, having also married Dutch wives ... -Riker, pg 94.
'.. on April 3 ensueing (1655) the brothers (Resolved & Joseph) bought a house and lot on Broadway, near Wall Street.' - Riker, pg. 692.
On April 17, 1657, he applied for the burgher right, and on May 3 occurs this entry: "Resolved Waldron being admitted a burgher, hath on this date taken the oath of fidelity." - Riker, pg. 693.
'Found to be efficient, the Director and Council, on May 25, 1658, appointed him deputy to the schout-fiscael, or attorney-general, de Sille; the Burgomasters being ordered, October 28, to recognize him as deputy sherrif. - Riker, pg. 693.
Magistrate of town of Harlen, NY (then New Haarlem) .
'... The next year (1660) the directors in Holland would have made Waldron sherrif of the Dutch towns on Long Island, but Stuyvesant wrote them, June 25, 1 660: "Respecting the person, Resolved Waldron, we may be permitted to remark, that when appointed as deputy to the fiscael, and asschout-by-nacht, in this city , he conducted himself with so much fidelity and vigilance that he gave to us and the magistrates great satisfaction, so that his services, both as respects the Company and the fiscael, canhardly be dispensed with, besides that he would not be so well fitted for the shrievalty of the said villages, as he cannot well wield his pen; wherefore, til your further orders on this point, we shall ask his continuance in that office." Stuyvesant was allowed to retain his favorite officer while his own rule lasted.
On the accession of the English, Waldron took the oath of allegiance (October 1664), but retired to private life at Harlem with the disappointment of one whose interests, as well as sympathies, all lay with the former government.' - HARLEM: ITS ORIGINS AND EARLY ANNALS by James Riker, 19 04, page 693
Resolved was living at this time [May 10, 1654] in the Teerkete lssteeg, a short street just north of the Dam; but the same year sailed with his family for America. - Riker, pg. 94
Took the English oath of allegiance (October 1664) but retired to private life in Harlem ... -Riker, pg. 693.

" ... in 1647 he obtained a patent from the Dutch Government for 10,000 acres of land that embraces what is now Harlem, NY. He served as a magistrate for 17 years, and laid out the part of the city of NY known as Harlem, extending fron 74th street on the East River to 130th street on the North River. In 1660 he built Waldron Hall, occupied by descendents until 1800." - Cheryl Wick, Family Tree Maker Waldron Genealogy Forum on the internet, Oct 25, 1998. (I do not believe this to be true, having read James Riker's 'History of Harlem' the most land ever held by the Waldrons amounted to about 200 acres according to recorded land tax records of the time, Resolved was a Shout (Sherrif) under the Dutch and later a Constable under the English. - Ronald A. Waldron, September 18,1999).
The Waldron's were English. A knight went to Palestine in command of an army as a crusader. Defeated and walled in with his army until reinforcements arrived, they called him "Von Walled-in." Feeling his defeat, he never returned to England but went to Holland from Palestine. This record of the Waldron's begins with Resolved Waldron, the emigrant ancestor, who settled in New Amsterdam, now New York.
