I must be prophetic. This young lady had a serious eating disorder. I looked up her family’s last name-yup…they owned slaves! I’m sure they starved their slaves especially children.
Now here is there descendant with a serious eating disorder!
We pay for our sins so our children and our grandchildren and our great grandchildren.
Historical records and genealogical research confirm that some individuals with the Ostrander surname in America were slave owners, particularly in areas with early Dutch settlement like New York and New Jersey, as slavery was a widespread institution among various families, not just famous figures, and Ostranders participated in this system, with some family members being documented slaveholders. Evidence of Ostrander Slave Ownership: Colonial Records: Early Ostrander families, especially in New York and New Jersey (areas with Dutch colonial roots where slavery was common), appear in records as slaveholders, alongside prominent families. Specific Examples: Johannes Hardenbergh Jr. (a relative in the broader Dutch colonial network where Ostranders lived) owned enslaved people, including Isabella Baumfree (later the famous abolitionist Sojourner Truth). While not directly an Ostrander, this shows the slaveholding context of their communities. Research into colonial New York and New Jersey census and property records often lists Ostrander family members as owners of enslaved individuals. Widespread Practice: Slavery was deeply embedded in American society, especially in the North during the colonial era, and many ordinary citizens, not just wealthy elites or Founding Fathers, owned slaves. How to Find More Information: Genealogical Sites: Ancestry.com, FamilySearch.org, and similar sites often have colonial-era records, wills, and property deeds mentioning enslaved people by name or number, searchable by surname. Slavery Records Databases: Resources like New Jersey Slavery Records (mentioned in Source 10) document specific instances. Local Archives: County historical societies and state archives in places like New York (Ulster, Dutchess counties) and New Jersey hold primary source documents. In essence, yes, some Ostranders were slave owners, reflecting the pervasive nature of slavery in early America.
