This Licence, as furnished and translated by the "Centraul Bureau voor Genealogie" of The Hague, The Netherlands, reads as follows:
  
  "Appeared (before the marriage council of Amsterdam) as before (on the 4th of Jan 1642) Lambert Van Valckenburgh, from Millen, 26 yrs old, having no parents (anymore) living on the Boomstraat, and Annetie Jacobs, from Tonningen (Schleswig Holstein) living as before, having no parents, 20 yrs old, requesting to have their three Sundays' banns proclaimed, in order to have their marriage soleminized and celebrated, insofar no legal impediments occur. And after their having declared to be free persons and (not) related to each other in blood, which would prevent a Christian marriage, their banns have been granted.
  
  : Lambert bought a house and 25 morgens (50 acres of land on 29 Jul 1644, from Cornelis Jacobsen Van Vreelandt on the west side of the Bowery from Canal to Broome Streets. Later, on 16 Feb 1647 he received a grant from the Dutch West India Company to a lot south of the fort, next to Jan Evertsen.
  
  From the Van Valkenburgh Book:
  Lambert Jochemse Van Valkenburg of Valkenburg on the Guele River, seven miles east of Maaestrict, Limburg Province of the Netherlands, obtained a marriage license in 1642 and married Annetje Jacobs. This license, as furnished and translated by “The Centraul Bureau voor Genealogie” of The Hague, The Netherlands, reads as follows:
  
  “Appeared (before the marriage council of Amsterdam) as before (on the 4th of January, 1642) Lambert Van Valckenburgh, from Millen, 26 years old, having no parents (anymore) living on the Boomstraat, and Annatje Jacobs, from Tonningen (Schleswig Holstein) living as before, having no parents, 20 years old, requesting to have their three Sundaysâ€(tm) banns procalimed, in order to have their marriage solemnized and celebrated, insofar no legal impediments occur. And after their having declared to be free persons and (not) related to each other in blood, which would prevent a Christian marriage, their banns have been granted.”
  
  This translation of the banns of marriage for the common ancestor of all the Van Valkenburgs in America was frunished to The National Association of the Van Valkenburg Family in America by Dr. Kenneth L. Marsi of Long Beach, California, who obtained it directly from The Netherlands.
  
  It is recorded that Lambert bought a house and 25 morgens (50 acres) of land on July 29, 1644, from Cornelis Jacobsen Van Vreelandt on the west side of the Bowery from Canal to Broome Streets. Later, on February 16, 1647 he received a grant from the Dutch West India Company to a lot south of the fort, next to Jan Evertsen. This is shown on the Tyler map of New York City and is recorded in the Dutch records in the City Clerkâ€(tm)s office in New York City. Family legend indicates that Lambert was a minor official at the fort.
  
  On May 15, 1649, Peter Stuyvesant granted Lambert 50 acres of land embracing nine city blocks on the west side of Lexington Avenue from 29th to 35th Streets extending west across Park and Madison Avenues beyond 5th Avenue from 31st to 33rd Streets including the site of the Empire State Building. Soon Lambert would be moving to Beverwyck (Albany), NY so he sold this property to Claes Martensen Van Rosenvelt, ancestor of both Teddy and Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

  LAMBERT JOCHEMSE VAN VALCKENBURCH (Valckenburgh, Valkenberg, Valckenborch), born at Valkenburg in Dutch Limburg, on the Geule River, seven miles east of Maestrict, in Holland, appears first of record in America, July 29, 1644, when he purchased of Jan Jacobsen, a house and plantation on the island of Manhattan, with twenty-five morgens of land adjoining. [Register of the Provincial Secretary of New Netherland, II, 121.] (Evjen's Scandinawan Immigrants in New York (page 406) erroneously places Lambert as a German from Falkenburg in Germany, having been misled by the similarity of place names). The grantor was Jan Jacobsen Stille van Vreelandt who died or left New Amsterdam soon after this sale.
  
  Many years later the land became a part of the farm of Colonel Nicholas Bayard who died in 1707 -- This land is on the west side of the present Bowery from Canal Street to Broome Street. There is no record of the disposal of these twenty-five morgens (fifty acres) of land and the house of Lambert van Valckenburch. It is stated in The Iconography of Manhattan Island (VI,72) that he "may have surrendered this farm to the [West India] Company when he acquired the tract opposite to Kip's Bay plantation," later known as the Samler farm.
  
  This latter property was of twenty-four morgens, granted by Director General Peter Stuyvesant to Lambert van Valckenburch, on May 15, 1649 -- It embraced what are now nine city blocks on the west side of Lexington Avenue from Twenty-Ninth to Thirty-Fifth Streets, and extended, westward, across what are now Park and Madison Avenues beyond Fifth Avenue from Thirty-First to Thirty-Third Street, and included the corner of the present Thirty-Third Street and Fifth Avenue, on which stood, until 1929 the southeastern part of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, and wherein 1931 was erected the Empire State Building, then the highest building in the world.
  
  The confirmation of title to this property issued in 1668 [Libci- Patents, III, 43, Albany] by Richard Nicolls, Governor of the Province of New York, refers to the ground-brief from Stuyvesant to Lambert van Valckenburgh, dated May 15, 1649, covering 48 acres (24 morgens), and recites that the land was conveyed to Claes Martensen. This later owner is identified in the Iconography of Manhattan Island (VI,138), viz.:
  
  Claes Martensen van Rosenvelt, the ancestor of the Roosevelt family, occupied the farm originally granted to Lambert van Valckenburgh, at least as early as 1635. Probably he sold his farm to Claes Martensen when he went north [1652]. Dingman Versteeg identified Martensen as Nicolas Martens, mentioned in a court record as early as August 26) 1638. He is said to have been the direct ancestor of Theodore Roosevelt who was born less than a half-mile distant.
  
  The surname of Roosevelt was adopted by the children of Nicolas Martensen, in place of Nicolsen and Martensen, because Roosevelt was the name of the place in Holland from which their father had come to America.
  
  On January 25, 164.4, a declaration of Olaf Stevensen van Cortland and Gysbert Opdyck refers to a statement of Lambert van Valckenburch respecting property of Peter Livesen deceased. {Register of the Provincial Secretary of New Netherland, II, 95-] Lambert Van Valckenburch seems to have resided upon the fifty-acre farm he purchased of Jan Jacobsen, at least until March 16, 1647, when he was granted, by the Director General of New Netherland, a patent for a lot on the south side of Fort Amsterdam, Manhattan Island.[ Land Papers of the Province of New Netherland, G.G., p. 192.]
  
  Here he may have lived until he removed to Fort Orange about 1652, as his second farm, acquired May 15, 1649, was over two miles northward in a region sparsely settled, not well developed, and far beyond the defensive wall built across the island at Wall Street to protect the village around Fort Amsterdam from Indians and others. The house and garden location close under the southern wall of Fort Amsterdam was of such prominence and interest as to merit further notice.
  
  The fort stood on the southwestern half of the site of the present U.S. customhouse. The distance from the fort to the harbor was much less then than it is now. This land patented to Lambert van Valckenburch was nine rods and one foot long (north and south) by one rod and three feet wide. The northern end of this lot would be about fifty to sixty feet south of the southwestern corner of the U.S. Customhouse; the southern end was directly upon the Strand, the narrow open space between the lot and the harbor. This position gave an unobstructed view, from the lot, over the entire harbor. The grant of the lot was made for the creation thereon of house and garden.
  
  It was a corner lot bounded by open public ways on three sides. This land is outlined as lot No. 1, in Block H of the key to the famous ancient Castello plan of New Amsterdam. This plan depicts a house upon the southern end of the land, exactly in the east-and-west center of the southern end of Manhattan Island. As Lambert van Valckenburch was the first grantee of this land, and, as when he sold it in 1656 to Isaac Gravenraedt (Greveract), his house thereon was sold with the land, It is conceived that he built the house. This lot was one of the only three (all granted in 1647) south of the fort.
  
  The lot next to the west was granted to, and patented by, Jan Evertsen Bout, the interpreter of the language of the Indians, and the other to Sergeant Huybertsen (the Englishman, James Hubbard). Lambert van Valckenburch removed to Fort Orange and Beverwyck (Albany) about four years before he sold this house and land to Gravenraedt in 1656, and, also, seemingly before his farm of forty-eight acres was entered upon by Claes Martensen in 1655 -- Gravenraedt sold the house and lot beside Fort Amsterdam to Pieter Jansen Clott of Mingaquy in New Yarsie March 23, 1670, when the house was described in the deed of sale as "an old Tennement." In 1673 the English commander of New York (New Amsterdam), Captain Colve, confiscated this house and lot, with the two others aforesaid, for military purposes. These houses are depicted in several of the earliest pictures of New Amsterdam.
  
  The site of the original lot would be now a strip 148 1/2 feet long by 19 1/2 feet wide, beginning opposite the southwestern corner of the U.S. Customhouse in State Street, and running southward to near the center of Battery Park. A drawing in The Iconography of Manhattan Island [II, 273,274, 388) outlines the bounds of this land, as well as the boundaries of the farm bought in 1644 of Jan Jacobsen and of the farm secured in 1649 of Director General Stuyvesant.

  Lambert Jochemse van Valckenburch of Fort Orange
  (Present day Albany, New York)
  
  From The Washington Ancestry and Records of the McClain, Johnson and Forty Other Colonial American Families, prepared for Edward Lee McClain by Charles Arthur Hoppin. Greenfield, Ohio - Privately Printed 1932
  
  The earliest record of the presence at Fort Orange (Albany) of Lambert van Valckenburch is dated March 7, 1652, in the proceeding of the court of Rensselaerswyck, when Claes Jansz, from Bockhoven, also recorded as Claes de Braebander, Holland, was summoned to court for having, out of spite against Director Van Slichtenhorst, caused his servant to haul wood for Lambert van Valckenburch, contrary to the ordinances. [Van Rensselaer-Bowier MSS., p. 843.] In the appendix to a letter, dated January 15, 1653, from the directors of the West India Company, at the Chamber at Amsterdam, Holland, to the "High and Mighty Lords, the States General," and containing complaints against the patroon and directors of the colony of Rensselaerswyckin the province of New Netherland occurs the complaint that the patroon and directors, "forbid, even on pain of corporal punishment, any wood to be cut or hauled for those at Fort Orange, and a certain man named Claes Jansen of Boeckhoven was by great favor amerced in a fine of fifty guilders solely because he had carted some firewood for one Lambert van Valckenburg, an inhabitant of the aforesaid Fort." [Transcripts of Documents in the Royal Archives at the Hague and in the Stadhays of the City of Amsterdam, Holland, Documents VII. Documents Relative to the Colonial History of New York, 7,525.]
  
  Lambert himself was summoned on Tuesday, March 31, 1654 (translation):
  
  It is resolved to have Lambert van Valckenburgh summoned to appear in court on account of the things done or committed by him last Wednesday two weeks ago at the house of Gerrit Jansz from Swoll, together with the witnesses who were present. . . .Tuesday, April 28, 1654.. . . . Gerrit Jansz from Swoll being summoned by the court to give testimony to the truth in regard to the dispute which took place at his house between Andries Herpertsen and Lambert van Valcken-borgh at the time of the departure of the Hon. General, the defendant's second default [is entered against him].
  
  The Honorable General seems to have been Slichtenhorst who, after contending against Peter Stuyvesant, was obliged to return to Holland. What occasioned the controversy does not appear. If Lambert was defending Stuyvesant, who had granted to him the land beside Fort Amsterdam in 1647 and the farm of forty-eight acres in 1649) it would not be unique, because Stu/vesant's authority over Fort Orange and the colony of Rensselaerswyck, while not to be challenged successfully, were not always relished by some of the inhabitants there. [Minutes of the Court, of Fort Orange and Rensselaerswyck pp. 131,136.] As "Lammert van Valckenborgh," he witnessed on August 31, 1654, at Fort Orange the declaration of Jan Labatie; five days later his name appears in the text of a declaration by "the honorable William Janse Stoll" (alias Hap) as "Lammert Van Valckenbergh"; and at the end of that declaration, where he "made his mark" as a witness, his name appears, as written by Joannes Dyckman, commissary at Fort Orange, "Lemmert Van den Bergh"; he is also named in the deed of sale of a house by Jan Labatie to Adriaen Janse (Appel) van Leyden, on November 11, 1654, as "Lambert Van Valckenborgh." [Early Records of the City and County of Albany, pp. J, 199, 204, 212, 223.] The translator and editor of the Dutch Van Rensselaer-Bowier Manuscrifts renders the name (pp. 843, 845) "Lambert van Valckenburch," which form may be accepted as the Dutch ancient spelling.
  
  The court of Fort Orange and the village of Beverwyck were erected on April 10, 1652, by the order of Peter Stuyvesant. At the session of this court of August 26, 1652, the minutes read (translation) : "Adriaen Jansz from Leyden, plaintiff, against Lambert van Valckenburgh, defendant, for the sum of fl. 535 in beavers." At the session of October 17, 1656 (translation): "Gossen Gerritsen, plaintiff, against Lambert van Volckenborch, defendant. Owing to nonappearance of the defendant, default is entered against him." At the session of Tuesday, October 20, 1654 (translation): "Lambert van Valckenburgh has requested to have a lot. Postponed until the drawing of lots."
  
  As an officer of the law, serving in a company for the preservation of law and order and in general defense of the community, Lambert testified at the court of Tuesday, February 8, 1656, viz. (translation) :
  
  interrogatories upon which, at the request of Johan de Deckere, commissary and officer here, is to be heard and examined 'Lambert van Valckenburch, sergeant of the burgher company, being summoned by the court to give testimony.
  
  Whether he, the witness, yesterday, a week ago, in the evening, was not molested on the public highway because he, a sergeant, by order of his captain, wanted to take one William Hap to the guard house? Answer, Yes.
  
  Who the aforesaid persons were and how many of them? [Answcr] Declares that he saw but one person, without knowing who he was or being acquainted with him, only, that he heard that it must have been a certain tailor, the brother-in-law of Dirk Bentsingh. Whether he, or they, did not come for him with bare knives, intending to attack him, in order to wrest the said Hap from his hands? [answer] Declares that the aforesaid person did as stated in the question.
  
  Who else were present there, what else happened in connection with the said molestation and how the same ended? [Answer] Declares that of the persons who were present he does not know a single one and that he took the said Hap to the guard house.
  
  At the court of October 17, 1656, a suit was entered by Gossen Gerritsen against Lambert van Valckenborch, defendant, who defaulted by not appearing. {Minutes of the Court of Fort Orange and Beverwyck, 7, 34., 131, 136, 185, 252,292.]
  
  On January 9, 1657, Lambert van Valckenborch brought an action against Hendrick Claessen and Gerrit Willemsen for assault, put over And at the extraordinary session of the court held at Fort Orange, June 7, 1657, by "the magistrates, of this court and the members of the court martial of the burgher guard. . . . Lambert v: Valckenborch, sergeant," is named with the magistrates, as an officer of the court, and testified "that on coming to the guard house he ordered a candle to be lit. Marten, the mason, asked Pieter Jacobsen Bosboom where the candles were? 'l do not know' Bosboom answered. Marten replied 'You stole them,' " whereupon Marten drew his sword and cut Bosboom, etc. [I bid., II, 4.0.]
  
  At the extraordinary session of the court held at Fort Orange, August 8, 1659, were issued the instructions to Lambert van Valckenborgh and Pieter Winnen who were appointed on July 6, 1659, to the rattle watch on condition that they were to receive for the term of one year 1,100 guilders in seawan and 100 guilders in beavers. They served from 9.00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m., "giving notice of their presence in all the streets of the village of Beverwyck by sounding their rattle and calling [out the hour] and this every hour of the night," and also instructed as
  
  to dealing with fires and thieves, and were not to be held accountable for injuries they might inflict upon any person who resisted arrest. [Ibid., II, 209.]
  
  At Fort Orange, on July 28, 1658, Lambert appointed as his attorney the Honorable Govert Loockermans to receive of Jan Dircksen alias de Schreder three and a half beavers due to him for house rent. [Albany County, Mortgages, 1658-60, p. 330.]
  
  September 4., 1657? Mr. Van Hamel, secretary of Rensselaerswyck, sued Lambert van Valckenburgh for loss sustained in the sale of a field of wheat on the farm of Jan Labite which he had purchased at auction, and which had to be resold for nonpayment of purchase money. Judgment for plaintiff with costs and damages of 168 florins, and 30 florins for the brandy and beer consumed at the auction.
  
  On May 27, 1660, Lambert van Valckenburch was. a petitioner praying that Dutch as well, as Indian brokers may be employed to go into the woods to trade with the Indians. The court declared the petition to be of dangerous consequences, and, after hearing complaints from Indians who had been ill treated by Dutch traders, denied the petition. [Fort Orange Records, XVI, Part II, 33, 110; Part III, 169.] At the court of July 13, 1660, he complains against the wife of Evert, the baker, for having in the absence of himself and his wife, entered his house and removed personal property. The court orders the defendant to restore the goods. At the same court Daniel Verveelen secured a judgment against Lambert for twenty guilders in beavers. Govert Loockermans entered a suit against Lambert van Valckenborch on July 2, 1658; Albert Gysbertsen sued him on October 28, l659, for a reason not recorded; and on September 1, 1660, Adriaen van Ilpendam obtained a judgment against him of six florins in beavers, the defendant's wife, appearing, admitted the debt. [Minutes of the Court of Fort Orange and Beverwyck, II, 123-225-277, 295.]
  
  A petition is presented by Lambert van Valckenburch, praying for a small lot on the hill. Answer given by way of apostil that there is no room there and that the space is reserved for a passage way, but if he wishes to have a lot laid out along the street, toward the north, the honorable magistrates will favor him therewith. [Minutes of the Court of Albany, Rensselaerswyck and Schenectady, 1, 170.]
  
  In May, 1671, Lambert van Valckenburgh is mentioned in a contract of sale of a house and two lots, as residing in Albany on the Pleyn, next to the Rev. Jacobus Fabricius, the first duly authorized Lutheran minister in the province. [Notarial Papers, Albany County, I and II, 133.]
  
  The last record noted of Lambert van Valckenburch is that in the minutes of "an Extraordinary Court holden at Albany 6 Augst. 1683," when he subscribed one florin toward the expenses of paying for the maintenance of Domine Godefridus Dellius. He was not living in 1697, and no record appears of the settlement of his estate. His widow, Annatie, died September 17, 1704, at Albany. This statement as to his and her death is given at page 134 of Pearsons' Genealogies of the First Settlers of Albany. They had three children of present record, two baptized at the Dutch Reformed Church inside of Fort Amsterdam, Manhattan, behind the house of their parents:
