Originally published in 1900 |
|
FRANK S. De RONDE.-The De Ronde family is of French lineage, as
the "de" clearly indicates. Some members of the family had settled at
Cortlandt Manor, in Westchester County, N. Y., prior to 1720. Alice de
Ronde was married to Sibert Acker at Hackensack in that year, if the
marriage records are true. It is stated in the record of her marriage that
she was from the "Manor of Cortlandt." Hendrick de Ronde was a French
Huguenot. He is said to have emigrated to America long before the beginning
of the Revolutionary War and first settled on Long Island. His
son, William de Ronde, of the second generation, born May 9, 1778, married
Rachel Goetschius and removed to Bergen County, N. J., about 1835, locating
in the Teaneck district west of the Hackensack River. He was a farmer
by occupation. He died January 21, 1861. His wife, Rachel Goetschius,
born April 29, 1784, died May 27, 1866. They had four children of the third
generation-three sons and a daughter. The sons were Abram, John W.,
and William H., of whom Abram and John W. are deceased.
William H. de Ronde, the third son, married Lavinia Doremus, and still survives. He is actively and successfully engaged in the coal business at Englewood, N. J. He has had seven children of the fourth generation, one of whom, Frank S., is the subject of this sketch. Frank S. de Ronde (4) was born January 24, 1870, at Englewood, N. J., where he still resides. He attended the public schools of Bergen County and New York City until he attained the age of fifteen, when he associated himself with his brother, Abram de Ronde, in the chemical business. Shortly afterward he entered the employ of the Standard Paint Company at 81 and 83 John Street, New York, becoming the business manager and general sales agent. January 1, 1900, he formed the Frank S. de Ronde Company, of New York, of which he is Treasurer and Manager. He was Captain of Company F, Second Regiment New Jersey Volunteers, from Englewood, in the late Spanish-American War, serving about seven months. As a citizen he is highly esteemed and respected. He is a member of the Presbyterian Church of Englewood and active in all local affairs. He married Kate Bennett.
