Raritan Bay is a bay located at the southern portion of Lower New York Bay between the U.S. states of New York and New Jersey and is part of the New York Bight.
 The bay is bounded on the northwest by New York's Staten Island, on the west by Perth Amboy, New Jersey, on the south by the Raritan Bayshore communities of Monmouth County, New Jersey, and on the east by Sandy Hook Bay.
 The bay is named after the Raritans, a branch of the Lenape tribe who lived in the vicinity of the bay for thousands of years prior to the arrival of Dutch colonists in the 17th century.
The Norridgewock Raid occurred in contested lands being fought over by England, France and the Wabanaki Confederacy, during the colonial frontier conflict referred to as Governor Dummer's War.
 Despite being called a 'battle' by some, the raid was essentially a massacre of Indians by colonial British troops.
 Captains Johnson Harmon, Jeremiah Moulton, and Richard Bourne (Brown) led a force of two hundred colonial New Englanders, which attacked the Abenaki village of Narantsouak, or Norridgewock, on the Kennebec River; the current town of Norridgewock, Maine developed near there.
 The village was led by, among others, the sachems Bomazeen and Welákwansit, known to the English as Mog.
 The village's Catholic mission was run by a French Jesuit priest, Father Sébastien Râle.
The Charter of Liberties and Privileges was an act passed by the New York colonial assembly during its first session in 1683 that laid out the political organization of the colony, set up the procedures for election to the assembly, created 12 counties, and guaranteed certain individual rights for the colonists.
 The colony operated under the Charter until May 1686 when Thomas Dongan, the governor of New York, received instructions from King James II that New York would be assimilated into the Dominion of New England.
 After the Glorious Revolution William III and Mary II appointed a new governor, who convened the colonial assembly on April 5, 1691.
Mohawk Dutch is a now extinct Dutch-based creole language mainly spoken during the 17th century west of Albany, New York in the area around the Mohawk River, by the Dutch colonists who traded with or to a lesser extent mixed with the local population from the Mohawk nation.
Schenectady ( ) is a city in Schenectady County, New York, United States, of which it is the county seat.
 As of the 2010 census, the city had a population of 66,135.
 The name "Schenectady" is derived from a Mohawk word "skahnéhtati" meaning "beyond the pines".
 The city was founded on the south side of the Mohawk River by Dutch colonists in the 17th century, many from the Albany area.
 They were prohibited from the fur trade by the Albany monopoly, which kept its control after the English takeover in 1664.
 Residents of the new village developed farms on strip plots along the river.
Pieter Schuyler (September 17, 1657 – February 19, 1724) was the first mayor of Albany, New York.
 A long-serving member of the executive council of the Province of New York, he acted as governor of the Province of New York on three occasions – twice for brief periods in 1709, after the death of Lord Lovelace, and also from 1719 to 1720, after Robert Hunter left office.
Slavery in New Jersey began in the early 17th century, when Dutch colonists imported African slaves for labor to develop their colony of New Netherland.
 After England took control the colony in 1664, its colonists continued the importation of slaves from Africa.
 They also imported "seasoned" slaves from their colonies in the West Indies and enslaved Native Americans from the Carolinas.
The Battle of Chinsurah (also known as the Battle of Biderra) took place near Chinsurah, India on 25 November 1759 during the Seven Years' War between a force of British troops mainly of the British East India Company and a force of the Dutch East India Company which had been invited by the Nawab of Bengal Mir Jafar to help him eject the British and establish themselves as the leading commercial company in Bengal.
 Despite Britain and the Dutch Republic not formally being at war, the Dutch advanced up the Hooghly River.
 They met a mixed force of British and local troops at Chinsurah, just outside Calcutta.
 The British, under Colonel Francis Forde, defeated the Dutch, forcing them to withdraw.
 The British engaged and defeated the ships the Dutch used to deliver the troops in a separate naval battle on November 24.
Allard Burgtem Antonides (1620–1685) was one of five Schepens (Dutch for aldermen or magistrate) in New Amsterdam and early New York City, the city that was to become New York City.
 As a representative of New Amsterdam and the New Netherlands colony, Antonides made significant contributions during his appeals to the Dutch monarchy.
 In 1664, when the British Empire conquered the colony, Antonides anglicized his surname to 'Anthony' and maintained his post until shortly before his death.
 Though he represented the Dutch colonists, his direct descendants are said to be of Spanish ancestry, possibly gaining access to the Netherlands during the Spanish occupation before its establishment as a separate nation.
 His place in the history of colonial Holland can be compared to the well-known Peter Stuyvesant and the less-known Willem Verhulst.
