History

The first member of the Roosevelt family in America was Claes van Rosevelt (or Rosenvelt), who arrived in New York (then known as Nieuw Amsterdam) around 1649, possibly as early as 1638. New York ( is a state in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern regions of the United States and is the nation's third most populous New Amsterdam (Nieuw Amsterdam was a 17th-century Dutch colonial settlement that later became New York City. It has been suggested that Claes may have been related to the van Rosevelt family that lived in Oud-Vossemeerin Zeeland province of the Netherlands at that time, but no definite link has been established. Oud-Vossemeer ( is a village on the island of Tholen in the Dutch province of Zeeland. Zeeland ( also called Zealand in English and Zeelandic, is a province of the Netherlands. The Netherlands ( Dutch:, ˈnedərlɑnt is the European part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, which consists of the Netherlands the Netherlands [1] Around 1652, Claes Martensen van Rosenvelt bought a farm from Lambert van Valckenburgh. [2] This property was comprised of twenty-four morgens in what is now Midtown Manhattan, including the present site of the Empire State Building. A morgen was a unit of Measurement of land in Germany, the Netherlands and the Dutch colonies including South Africa. See also Manhattan Midtown Manhattan, or simply Midtown, is an area of Manhattan, New York City home to world-famous commercial The Empire State Building is a 102-story Art Deco Skyscraper in New York City at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and West 34th Street

In the 18th century the Roosevelt family divided into two branches, the Hyde Park Roosevelts, who by the late 19th century were Democrats, and the Oyster Bay Roosevelts, who generally became Republicans. See also New Hyde Park for the village on Long Island there is also a hamlet named Hyde Park in Otsego County, near Cooperstown The Democratic Party is one of two major Political parties in the United States, the other being the Republican Party. This article refers to the hamlet. For the town in Nassau County, New York, see Town of Oyster Bay New York. President Theodore Roosevelt, an Oyster Bay Republican, was President Franklin Roosevelt's fifth cousin. Despite their political differences, which led family members to actively campaign against each other, the two branches generally remained friendly: James Roosevelt met his wife at a Roosevelt family gathering in the home of Theodore's mother, and James' son Franklin married Theodore's niece Eleanor.

Coat of arms

Dutch heraldic practices were considerably different from English heraldic practices. Heraldry in its most general sense encompasses all matters relating to the duties and responsibilities of officers of arms. In England, the official heraldic establishment had a monopoly on coats of arms, which were a privilege reserved for the gentry and nobility. A coat of arms or armorial bearings (often just arms for short in European tradition is a design belonging to a particular person (or group of people In the Netherlands (and most of the rest of Europe), by contrast, merchants and artisans commonly used coats of arms, called "burgher arms. "[3] While Claes Martenszen Van Rosenvelt may not have used a coat of arms, the family coat of arms was adopted within a generation; the earliest known use of the arms was on a silver tankard made for his son Nicholas Roosevelt. Nicholas Roosevelt (or Nicholas Van Rosenvelt) (bap October 2, 1658 - July 30, 1742) was an early member of the Roosevelt family Nicholas' coat of arms was used by many generations of the family, among both branches. (This was another differing aspect of Dutch heraldry; in England, the right to use a coat of arms was passed down only to the oldest son. )

The Roosevelt coat of arms features thorned red roses and red and white ostrich plumes. It is an example of canting arms, arms which are a visual pun on the individual's name. Canting arms is a technique used in European Heraldry whereby the name of the individual or community represented in a Coat of arms is "translated" into The shield on Nicholas Roosevelt's arms is charged with three roses on a thorny bush growing from a grassy hill—a play on the literal Dutch meaning of Roosevelt, "rose-field. " This design was adopted unchanged by Theodore Roosevelt. Franklin Delano Roosevelt modified the arms for his own use to be three thorny cut roses, rather than a bush, and eliminated the grassy hill. [3] Both of the presidents used three ostrich plumes in the crest above the shield. Eleanor Roosevelt was also entitled to use a version of the Roosevelt coat of arms, even prior to her marriage to Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
