Kiliaen van Rensselaer (d. February 22, 1687), the eldest child of Johannes, and Elizabeth Van Twiller Van Rensselaer was born in Holland. ==Life== Upon the death of his uncle Jeremias in 1674, he became patroon of Rensselaerwick. As he was still a minor the property was managed by his uncle, the Rev. Nicholas Van Rensselaer. Young Kiliaen's aunt, the widow of Jeremias, Maria Van Rensselaer, and her brother, Stephanus Van Cortlandt served in an advisory capacity. When Kiliaen came of age he travelled to Albany, and received naturalization papers from the English colonial government.〔(Schuyler, George W. ''Colonial New York: Philip Schuyler and His Family'', Vol. 1, Charles Scribner's Sons, 1885 )〕 He married his cousin, Anna Van Rensselaer, daughter of Jeremias and Maria Van Cortlandt Van Rensselaer.〔(''Hudson-Mohawk Genealogical and Family Memoirs'', edited by Cuyler Reynolds, Lewis Historical Publishing Company, New York, 1911 )〕 He also saw the patroonship change to an English lordship, and so was the first Lord of Rensselaerwyck. Kiliaen, died without issue at Watervliet, Albany county, about February 22, 1687. He was succeeded by his cousin and brother-in-law, Kiliaen van Rensselaer, son of Jeremias van Rensselaer. ==Notes== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kiliaen van Rensselaer (fourth patroon)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
