Some things to look into for this article are- the creation of Albany (or at the time Beverwyck) as a village (in dutch- dorpe) by Stuyvesant the Dutch Governor-General at the time and the subsequent argument between Stuyvesant and the Patroon. The continued refusal of the Patroon's to not recognize Albany even into the English rule and Dongan finally having the Duke (and later as King James) step in to say Albany was separate legally from the patroonship.
These are beginnings that I hope individuals are able to expand on, or when I have time I can do it. I strongly urge using Google Books and looking up anything by Cuyler Reynolds. Camelbinky ( talk) 20:46, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
Wondering if this might be of use, its an image of the first "page" of the original Dongan land patent for Rensselaerswyck, given in 1685 a year before the Dongan Charter for Albany. Camelbinky ( talk) 23:05, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
Hope this is helpful. Camelbinky ( talk) 04:30, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
In the list of citations, do the "Spooner", "Sylvester", and "van Rensselaer" items relate to the books under the Bibliography section by similarly-named authors? Isn't the first instance of a citation given in an article supposed to be given in full, with only the subsequent citations given in the shortened form? Or is it different in Wikipedia? Thank you, 24.47.173.120 ( talk) 17:59, 19 January 2015 (UTC) Sorry - my log-in timed-out. That's me above. Thanks, Wordreader ( talk) 18:00, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
