Bastiaen Jansz Krol (also ''Sebastia(e)n''; ''Jans(s)en''; ''Crol''〔15px Crol, Bastiaen Janssen (1630): ''Contract of sale of land along the Hudson River from the Mahican Indians to Kiliaen van Rensselaer'' on Wikisource〕 or ''Crull'') (1595, Harlingen – 14 March 1674),〔(Burial certificate )〕〔A. Eekhof, (Bastiaen Jansz. Krol : krankenbezoeker, kommies en kommandeur van Nieuw-Nederland (1595-1645) ), The Hague 1910. A 97 page biography in Dutch.〕 was Director of New Netherland from 1632 to 1633. When he was 10, Krol's family moved from Friesland to Amsterdam where in 1615 he married Annetje Cristoffels 〔(Birth certificate )〕 and in 1623 he lived on the Bloemgracht. In that year he presented himself to church elders of the Dutch Reformed Church to be sent abroad as a "ziekentrooster" ("comforter of the sick"). On 25 January 1624 he sailed to New Netherland, where he arrived when Cornelius May just had become the first Director-General. In November 1624 he had returned to Amsterdam and made a report to the church elders, who gave him the right to perform baptisms and weddings in the new colony. He probably sailed back to New Amsterdam in May or June 1625, prior to the arrival of Peter Minuit the next year.〔 Bastiaen Krol is most frequently remembered for arranging the purchase of the domain of Rensselaerswyck in 1630.〔15px Van Rensselaer, Kiliaen (1630): ''Instructions to Bastiaen Jansz Krol from Kiliaen van Rensselaer (January 10, 1630)'' on Wikisource〕 Kiliaen van Rensselaer was one of the first to ask for a grant of land. He received a tract of country to the north and south of Fort Orange, but not including that trading-post,〔 which, like the island of Manhattan, remained under the control of the Dutch West India Company. By virtue of this grant and later purchases, van Rensselaer acquired a tract comprising what are now the counties of Albany and Rensselaer with part of Columbia in the state of New York. Before and after his post as Director-General, Krol was commander of Fort Orange. He returned to the Netherlands at least two more times. Between 1638 and 1643 he lived in New Netherland, but the last records of him are from September 1645 in "Old" Amsterdam.〔 ==See also== * Colonial America * Dutch colonization of the Americas * Dutch Empire * List of colonial governors of New Jersey * List of colonial governors of New York 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「Sebastiaen Jansen Krol」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
