		On the Manor of Rensselaerwyck, the proprietors offered to sell their interest in tenant farms before the strike began.
		But the rent strike on the Manor of Rensselaerwyck did not come to an end until 1865, when state militiamen returned with orders from New York's highest court and crushed the last pocket of tenant resistance.
		Yet the lease in fee was not suppressed by statute, by New York's bellwether constitutional convention of 1846, or by judicial decision.

	A Brief Historical Note on the Six Mile Waterworks (Rensselaer Lake)
		The problem was solved by the City giving to the Patroon, Stephen Van Rensselaer, two parcels within Albany to protect the forest around the upper reaches of his mill stream and its tributaries and source.
		Two tracts within Rensselaerwyck were traded to the City in exchange.
		Apparently there were, at that time, observations that excessive evaporation resulting from removal of the bordering forest caused a decrease in stream flow, hence the term "shade." This was used in the Common Council minutes quoted above and also on the maps showing the boundaries of the City and of the Conservation area.

		Rensselaerwyck Manor Tenant Land leases from 1853 to 1890

	The Lape Family of Schoharie County
		Andries and Anna Margaretha Lape moved from Germantown, Columbia, NY, to Rensselaerwyck, Columbia, NY, between 1756-1760, their first four children being baptized in Germantown, either at the Christ's Evangelical Lutheran Church or the Reformed Church of Germantown, between 1750-1755, and their remaining children being baptized in Churchtown at St. Thomas Lutheran Church, after 1760.

	JACOB and SYMON WALICHS
		As to why tenant farmers should be selected to return to Holland for such an undertaking is unknown but it is apparent that each must have had some favor with van Rensselaer or his agent in New Netherlands that warranted this selection.
		Symon is reported to have sailed from Holland on the Rensselaerwyck on 1 October 1636 and landed at Rensselaerwyck but this conflicts with a report that he returned the year before with Jacob.
		The other is that he sailed to Rensselaerwyck in 1635 and then returned to New Netherlands before January 1639.

		The first property attributed under patroonship was “Rensselaerwyck”, awarded 1630 to Kiliaen Van Rensselaer, a director and one of the founders of the company.

		Patroonship involved not only ownership of the land but also the rights to establish colonies of tenants and rule over these colonies much in the same way as feudal lords did in Europe.
