	Martin Van Buren
		Martin Van Buren was born in Kinderhook in 1782, soon after a fragile union of states successfully ended its fight for independence.
		Van Buren artfully positioned himself in the eye of the storm, persistently advocating the principles of the Jeffersonian Republicans, namely states' rights, strict constitutional construction, and civil liberties.
		Van Buren described one "improvement" to a friend in 1846 in this way: "When you visit me again you shall wash off the impurities of Mammon in the Bath which has been put up." Lindenwald was a source of great satisfaction to its owner.

	James Van Alen
		His greatest legacies are as the inventor of the first tie breaker in tennis and as founder and primary benefactor of the International Tennis Hall of Fame and Museum at the Newport Casino, which he gave to the United States Tennis Association in 1954, saving the national landmark from a proposed car park.
		He would become director of that tournament, a leader in the preservation of the aging wooden Casino (the cradle of U.S. tennis), and, at the instigation of his wife, Candy, the guiding light in founding the Hall of Fame to which he was elected in 1965.
		Thereafter the USTA embraced the current ITF-approved "lingering death," as Van Alen disparagingly called the best-of-12 point version that requires a 2-point margin for victory, thus can extend into double figures.

		The Van Alens seem to descend from LOURENS VON HALLEN, who some say was from the town of Hallen but settled in Amsterdam (thus, the name, meaning "from Hallen").
