Dutch-American family
Coat of Arms of Philip Pieterse Schuyler The Schuyler family (/ˈskaɪlər/ ; Dutch pronunciation: [sxœylər] ) was a prominent Dutch family in New York and New Jersey in the 18th and 19th centuries, whose descendants played a critical role in the formation of the United States (especially New York City and northern New Jersey), in leading government and business in North America and served as leaders in business, military, politics, and society. The other two most influential New York dynasties of the 18th and 19th centuries were the Livingston family and the Clinton family.
History By 1650, Philip Pieterse Schuyler emigrated to New Netherland , settling in Beverwyck . His brother, David Pieterse Schuyler , also emigrated from The Dutch Republic .
The Schuyler family ancestry and ties were factors in several major American families, including the Livingston family , the Oyster Bay branch of the Roosevelt family , the Bayard family , the Bush family and the Kean family, among others. Descendants also exist in some noble families in the United Kingdom (including the Gage family , the Kennedy family , the Bertie family , and the Fitzroy family , among others).[2] [3] [4] [5]
