The New Amsterdam (New York) history interests this NW Okie, because my mother's paternal side were family through the COUENHOVEN (probably the original form of Conover).

Committee Correspondence With Washington Irving (1832)

The Evening Post, New York, New York, dated 2 June 1832, Saturday, page 2, reported this correspondence Passed Between Committee and Mr. Irving (23 May 1832). The large room of the City Hotel was literally filled with citizens anxious about to join in rendering a tribute of respect to Washington Irving, and of manifesting the hearty pleasure with which his return to his native land was welcomed by his fellow countrymen. Four ranges of tables, running through the entire length of the spacious apartment, were covered, for the occasion, with a tastefully arranged profusion of choice viands and wines.

The Sketch Book by Washington Irving

Washington Irving (1783-1859) was born in New York, the eleventh child of a prosperous merchant and Deacon of the Presbyterian Church. An indulged younger son and brother, Irving's formal education was desultory;although trained for the Bar, he never practiced as a lawyer. As a young man he dabbled in popular periodical literature, publishing a series of essays on the theatre and New York society as "The Letters of Jonathan Oldstyle, Gent.", and (following a two year Grand Tour of Europe) the Salmagundi papers with his brother William and friend James K. Paulding.
