	Stephen Van Rensselaer III - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Van Rensselaer was born in New York City, the eldest child of Stephen Van Rensselaer II {a great-grandson of Mayor of New York Stephanus Van Cortlandt} and Catharina Livingston {daugther of Philip Livingston}.
		Van Rensselaer accepted the post, and with his decidedly more soldierly cousin Solomon as his aide-de-camp, attempted to assure the honour of his country in the war (despite the fact that, as a Federalist, he had been against the war in the first place).
		Van Rensselaer's preparations and his plan of attack were clearly a major reason for the scale of the defeat, as he was unable to secure the element of surprise, did not procure enough boats for his men to cross easily, did not even get enough ammunition to his men.
