Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate history of the Leisler family in New York, a lineage intertwined with the political and social fabric of early New Netherland. Centering on Jacob Leisler, a prominent figure often referred to as the "Proto-Martyr of American Independence," the author meticulously traces the family's origins, alliances, and tribulations against the backdrop of a burgeoning colonial society. Through meticulous research and analysis of historical records, including baptismal and marriage documents from the Reformed Dutch Church, the author sheds light on the complexities of Dutch naming conventions and family relationships in colonial New York. The narrative explores the lives of individuals like Elsje Tymens, Jacob Leisler's wife, whose lineage connected her to some of the most influential families in New Netherland, and delves into the intricate web of marriages and alliances that shaped the social landscape of the time. Beyond genealogical exploration, the book examines themes of political turmoil, religious persecution, and the struggle for power during a pivotal period in American history. Jacob Leisler's rise to prominence as Commander-in-Chief and subsequent execution for treason serve as a potent reminder of the volatile nature of colonial politics and the enduring quest for autonomy. Ultimately, this book offers a compelling portrait of a family whose story illuminates the broader historical tapestry of colonial America and the individuals who shaped its destiny. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
