History: Schuyler is the name of one of the oldest and wealthiest Dutch families of NY, established there by Philip Pieterse Schuyler from Amsterdam; His father, Pieter Tjercks (1601–1656), born in Emden, took the surname of his wife, Geertruyt Philips van Schuylder (1603–1651), who was born in Oldenburg, Germany. The marriage of Philip Pieterse Schuyler is recorded in North America in 1650. He was a merchant and colonial administrator. Four generations later one of his best-known descendants was Philip Schuyler (1733–1804), a member of Congress and a leading figure in the American Revolution; he was in command of the American army at Saratoga before being replaced by Horatio Gates.
