Naturally grandfather on my father's side was of almost purely Dutch. When he
was young, he spoke some Dutch He was a part of the Dutch Reformed Church in
New York while he was a small boy.
About 1644, his ancestor Klaes Martensen van Roosevelt came to New
Amsterdam as a 'settier" This was the name for an immigrant who came over in a
sailing ship in the seventeenth century instead of a steam boat in the nineteenth
century. From that time for the next seven generations, every one of us was born on
Manhattan Island
My father's ancestors were from Holland. The only one who didn't was one named
Waldron a wheelwright. He was one of the Pilgrims who stayed in Holland when the
others came over to found Massachusetts My father's mother was a Pennsylvanian
Her family had come to Pennsylvania with William Penn, some in the same ship with
him. They included Welsh and English Quakers, an Irishman, and peace-loving
Germans who were some of the founders of Germantown. They had been driven
from the Rhineland homes when the armies of Louis the Fourteenth ravaged the
Palatinate My grandmother was a sweet and strong woman. Although she was not
hersell Dutch, it she was the person who taught me the only Dutch I ever knew. It
was a baby song of which the first line was, "Trippe troppa tronjes." I always
remembered this, and when I was in East Africa it became a bond between me and
the Boer settiers. It was interesting to meet these men whose ancestors had gone to
the Cape about the time that mine went to America two centuries and a half earlier It
was also weresting to find that the descendants of the two streams of emigrants still
sang to their children some of the same nursery songs
