The Funeral of Jeremiah van Rensselaer

When Director Jeremias van Rensselaer died in 1674, a list was made of those that would be invited to attend his funeral. Due to the lack of church records for Albany prior to 1683, this list has been treated as a census of sorts, though the list includes the names of several people that did not reside in the Albany area, and does not include many that did. No one is certain of the reasoning behind the grouping of the list. The order listed here follows that of Richard Schermerhorn, Jr. in the original NYGBR article.
