Karel Hansen Toll family history, 1937
Information about a presumed Norwegian who settled in the Schenectady region of New York state about 1680. See A.N. Rygg's article in Norwegian-American Studies, v. 14, (1944) pp. 244-248. "No direct proof that Hansen was a Norwegian can be produced. Nothing definite is known of him before he appeared about 1680 in Albany and Schenectady, where he spent the remainder of his life. But the tradition in his family maintains that he was a Norwegian." In 1712 "he bought 38 acres in Maalwyck. Here he made his home and he or his son Daniel built in 1717 a solid house of stone." He "is regarded as the first Norwegian who sat in a lawmaking assembly in America." Photocopy of pp. 231-242 of "Story of the Maalwyck" by Percy M. Van Epps, published by the Town Board of Glenville, N.Y., 1937.; Correspondence (1993) of John Chamberlin about the Toll family with Karel G. Toll and Susan Erickson.; See in the library collection, photocopy of Daniel J. Toll's Narrative embracing the history of two or three of the first settlers and their families in Schenectady. 1847 p. 57. -
