Excerpt from Address of Honorable Charles E. Hughes at the Memorial Service: In Honor of Theodore Roosevelt Theodore Roosevelt was born in the City Of New York on October 27, 1858, - the descendant Of the Roosevelt who came to New Amsterdam in the year 1644. From that year, as Colonel Roosevelt has told us, for the next seven genera tions, from father to son, each Of his line was born on Man hattan Island. While he thus represented the best Knicker bocker tradition, his grandmother's ancestors were of those who had settled in Pennsylvania with William Penn and his mother's family were Of Georgia and mainly Of Scotch de scent. He was a scion Of the sturdiest and Of the canniest stock, whose Americanism began with the making Of America itself. While his father's family went back to the early days Of the Dutch settlement Of New York, his mother's great grandfather was the revolutionary president Of Georgia.
