Notes
Marriage
inferred from the fact that she and three children came to the New World with him in 1650-1651Miscellaneous
Apparently, burgher status was roughly equivalent to citizenship. The Great Burgher status was hereditary; Small Burgher was not. In that year, New Amsterdam had 20 Great Burghers and 216 Small Burghers. You could obtain either status by following a few rules and paying a fee.-- https://www.geni.com/people/Cornelis-van-Tienhoven/349776970100011653
Miscellaneous
Stuyvesant wanted to fight. His blood and toil had gone into improving this town. Perhaps he did not consider it the domain of the West India Company so much as his. He ripped up entreaties by the English which had promised safety to the townspeople of New Amsterdam. He attempted to corral the soldiers at Fort Amsterdam (its walls woefully unprepared for battle) and rally the spirits of the townfolk, but his provocations were ignored. Angered that their ambitious leader would prefer battle over acquiescence, the residents presented Stuyvesant with a politely-worded remonstrance.Everybody signed it, including Stuyvesant’s own son. For the men and women of New Amsterdam, it was a document of peace. For Stuyvesant, a surrender.
“…[W]e humbly, and in bitterness of heart, implore your Honors not to reject the conditions of so generous a foe, but to be pleased to meet him in the speediest, best and most reputable manner. Otherwise, which God forbid, we are obliged to protest before God and the world; and to call down upon your Honors the vengeance of Heaven for all the innocent blood which shall be shed in consequence of your Honors’ obstinacy…” [source]
It became Peter Stuyvesant versus everyone. If he did not back down, the subtext of the petition ensured he would be removed by force.
The following day, on August 27, a delegation of English advisers met with locals at Stuyvesant’s home to arrange the handover and draft the so-called Articles of Capitulation. Over the next few days, further assurances were made to the Dutch residences of New Amsterdam, securing their property and protecting their liberty and religious freedoms.
