Alexander Lindsay Glen was born ca. 1605, probably near Dysart inFifeshire, Scotland. As early as 1633 he came to the Dutch coloniesand was an employee of the West India Company at Fort Nassau on theSouth (Delaware) River. He appears in the Dutch records as SanderLeendertse Glen in conformance with their orthography. His propermiddle name is subject to speculation. Perhaps his father's name wasLeonard and this led to "Leendertse" as the corresponding patronymic.Dysart is in Clan Lindsay territory, but whether a clan name would beused as a middle name at that period is doubtful. He returned toEurope and married Catalijn Donckes, as her name appears on the Dutchrecords, in the Oudekerk, Amsterdam, Holland, on 31 October 1638. Hisage is given as 32 years, occupation is noted as sailor. Her age isgiven as 18. Her proper name was Catharine Duncanson. She was thedaughter of Rev.
James Duncanson, the minister of the church at Alloa,Clackmannanshire, Scotland, and his wife Helen
Livingstone. She was baptized in her father's church on 15 April1621. Three of her sisters also married New
Netherland settlers. (See Reference 8 for her parentage.)
According to Reference 7, however, they signed a contract dated 2March 1639 in which her age is given as 20
years old, "van Alou in Schotland." This would indicate a birth near1619: perhaps she was hiding her
youthfulness in order to make a binding contract. His age is given as34, place of origin "Duysert in Schotland." So this informationagrees with that previously published.
On 26 March 1639 this couple were engaged by Kiliaen van Rensselaer,the patroon, as "vrye coloniers" (free
colonists) at Amsterdam. On this record his age is again noted as 34,but now she is 24 years old! (Ref. 4) They
sailed on the ship Den Harinck (the Herring) in the same year for thenew world.
In 1646 he received a patent for a tract of land at New Amsterdam. Hewas then called "coopman" (an
authorized trader) of Beverwyck.
On 11 March 1649 they acknowledged their signatures on contracts of28 March 1639 and 23 February 1645,
and stated that they sailed the two yachts of the patroon from 1641for three years, "but not when they tapped
liquor." Sander Leendertsz is credited with wine and beer furnishedbetween 1644 and 1646, and charged with
fl 32 a year from 1647 to 1652 for ground rent and the right to tradewith Indians. On 2 August 1649 director
van Slichtenhorst notified Sander Leendertsz and other skippers notto transport colonists to the Manhattans
without his consent.
They returned to the Delaware where he again became an agent for theWest India Company. He received a
grant of land there and prepared to build in 1651, but was preventedby the violence of the Swedes.
In 1658 he built a mansion of stone on the north bank of thebeautiful Mohawk River under the title and
protection of the Mohawks. He obtained a patent for this site andsome adjacent uplands and small islands,
and all the flats contiguous in 1665. This estate he termed Scotia inhonor of his native soil.
In 1662 he joined with fourteen others to purchase the site of thetown of Schenectady from the Indians. He
was the third of the fifteen named proprietors. He and his neardescendants were intimately involved in the
destiny of early Schenectady.
In 1664 he also owned lands, houses, and cattle at Graves End, LongIsland. He owned real estate in divers
parts of Beverwyck, and -- as appears from records and traditions --was a large owner of lands, a considerable
trader with the Indians, an extensive agriculturist, and the owner ofmany negro slaves.
As tradition informs us, Mr. Glen was reputed to be a gentleman ofsolid wealth and educated in the schools
of Scotland to an extent beyond the existing advantages of thiscountry. (However, according to Reference 8,
he signed his marriage intention by mark.) He was of a commandingphysique and high-strung
temperament, but full of benevolent zeal for the progress of allChristian churches. So far as can be learned,
he was reared in the rigid tenets of John Knox. But in 1682 he hadbuilt a frame building of respectable
dimensions for the use of the Dutch Reformed congregation. In 1684Rev. Petrus Taschemaker, a graduate of
the University of Utrecht, was installed as its pastor. This churchwas burned by the French and Indians on 8
February 1690 when all of Schenectady was burned except for the houseof John Alexander Glen. Orders had
been given that Taschemaker's life should be spared on account of theinformation they could obtain from
him. But his house was not known and he was killed and his house andpapers burned before he could be
recognized.
Catalyn Glen died at their country estate Scotia on 12 August 1684,and was buried under the newly erected
church, just in front of the pulpit. He died on 13 November 1685 andwas buried beside her. This church was
burned on 8 February 1690. Another church was built on the same sitein 1702 without disturbing the
remains. This was dismantled in 1733. Thereafter this site was notused until the summer of 1848 when
some large cisterns were to be built there. A descendant watched theexcavation carefully and rescued the
bones of his ancestors. These relics were well preserved. The nextday they were reburied in the Scotia family
cemetery amid a long line of descendants. The site of their originalburial was under the old church at the
junction of Church, State, Water Streets, and Mill Lane, in the onlypublic square in Schenectady.
Mr. Glen's village lot in Schenectady was 200 feet fronting on thewest side of what is now Washington
Avenue, running down with equal breadth to the strand on the mainBinnekill. His farm apportionment
embraced the flats and the adjacent islands on the north side of theMohawk River.
Alexander Lindsay Glen and his wife Catalyn Duncanson had three sonsand no daughters:
Jacob Alexander
born 1645, died 2 October 1685, lived in Albany, and left issue
Alexander
born 1647, died cat 1695, Married Anna Wemp, daughter of Jan BarentseWemp (or Wemple), but
left no issue.
John Alexander
born 5 November 1648, died 6 November 1731, married firstly AnnaPeek, secondly Deborah
Wendell. Descent through the first wife is continued.
