It has been suggested that Claes may have been related to the van Rosevelt family that lived in OudVossemeer in Zeeland province of the Netherlands at that time, but no definite link has been established.[1] Around 1652, Claes Martensen van Roosevelt bought a farm from Lambert van Valckenburgh.[2] This property was comprised of twenty-four morgens in what is now Midtown Manhattan, including the present site of the Empire State Building. In the 18th century the Roosevelt family divided into two branches, the Hyde Park Roosevelts, who by the late 19th century were Democrats, and the Oyster Bay Roosevelts, who generally became Republicans. President Theodore Roosevelt, an Oyster Bay Republican, was President Franklin Roosevelt’s fifth cousin. Despite their political differences, which led family members to actively campaign against each other, the two branches generally remained friendly: James Roosevelt met his wife at a Roosevelt family gathering in the home of Theodore’s mother, and James’ son Franklin married Theodore’s niece Eleanor. Coat of arms Dutch heraldic practices were considerably different from English heraldic practices. In England, the official heraldic establishment, the Royal College of Arms, has a monopoly on coats of arms, which were a privilege reserved for the gentry and nobility. In the Netherlands (and most of the rest of Europe), by contrast, merchants and artisans commonly used coats of arms, called "burgher arms."[3] While Claes Martenszen Van Rosenvelt may not have used a coat of arms, the family coat of arms was adopted within a generation; the earliest known use of the arms was on a silver tankard made for his son Nicholas Roosevelt. Nicholas’ coat of arms was used by many generations of the family, among both branches. The Roosevelt coat of arms features thorned red roses and red and white ostrich plumes. It is an example of canting arms, arms which are a visual pun on the Estate Name origin and meaning The Roosevelt family is a prominent American political family of Dutch descent that produced two United States Presidents, Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin D. Roosevelt, and a First Lady, Eleanor Roosevelt. The first member of the Roosevelt family in America was Claes van Rosevelt (or Rosenvelt), who arrived in New York City (then known as Nieuw Amsterdam) around 1649, 1 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia individual’s name. The shield on Nicholas Roosevelt’s arms is charged with three roses on a thorny bush growing from a grassy hill—a play on the literal Dutch meaning of Roosevelt, "rose-field." This design was adopted unchanged by Theodore Roosevelt. Franklin Delano Roosevelt modified the arms for his own use to be three thorny cut roses, rather than a bush, and eliminated the grassy hill.[3] Both of the presidents used three ostrich plumes in the crest above the shield. Eleanor Roosevelt was also entitled to use a type of the Roosevelt coat of arms, even prior to her marriage to Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
