Peter Gansevoort

Peter Gansevoort (July 17, 1749 – July 2, 1812) was a Colonel in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. He is best known for leading the resistance to Barry St. Leger's Siege of Fort Stanwix in 1777. Gansevoort was also the maternal grandfather of ''Moby-Dick'' author Herman Melville.
==Early life==
Peter Gansevoort was born into the Dutch aristocracy of Albany, New York. His father Harman (1712–1801) was of his family's third generation in America. His mother, Magdalena Douw (1718–1796) was related to New York's Van Rensselaer family .
Gansevoort's ancestors had been in Albany since 1660, when it was the Dutch colony of Fort Orange, and Harman owned a brewery and farms. Peter Gansevoort's younger brother Leonard was more active politically, serving in the state assembly and senate, as well as the Continental Congress. Peter Gansevoort's son Herman Gansevoort (1779–1862) built the Gansevoort Mansion in 1813 on his father's tract at Gansevoort in Saratoga County, New York. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
