TheRoosevelt familyis an Americanpolitical familyfrom New York whose members have included two United States presidents, aFirst Lady,[1]and various merchants, bankers, politicians, inventors, clergymen, artists, and socialites. The progeny of a mid-17th centuryDutchimmigrant toNew Amsterdam,many members of the family became nationally prominent in New York State and City politics and business and intermarried with prominent colonial families. Two distantly related branches of the family fromOyster BayandHyde Park,New York, rose to global political prominence with the presidencies ofTheodore Roosevelt(1901–1909) and his fifth cousinFranklin D. Roosevelt(1933–1945), whose wife, First LadyEleanor Roosevelt,was Theodore's niece. The Roosevelt family is one of four families to have produced two presidents of the United States by the same surname; the others were theAdams,Bush,andHarrisonfamilies.

Claes Maartenszen van Rosenvelt (c. 1626–1659), the immigrant ancestor of the Roosevelt family, arrived inNew Amsterdam(present-day New York City) sometime between 1638 and 1649. About the year 1652, he bought a farm from Lambert van Valckenburgh, comprising 24morgens(i.e., 20.44 ha or 50.51 acres) in what is nowMidtown Manhattan,including the present site of theEmpire State Building.[2]The property included approximately what is now the area betweenLe xing ton AvenueandFifth Avenuebounded by 29th St. and 35th St.[citation needed]
Claes van Rosenvelt's sonNicholaswas the first to use the spelling Roosevelt and the first to hold political office, as analderman.His sonsJohannesand Jacobus were, respectively, the progenitors of theOyster BayandHyde Parkbranches of the family. By the late 19th century, the Hyde Park Roosevelts were generally associated with theDemocratic Partyand the Oyster Bay Roosevelts with theRepublicans.PresidentTheodore Roosevelt,an Oyster Bay Roosevelt, was the uncle ofEleanor Roosevelt,later wife ofFranklin Roosevelt.Despite political differences that caused family members to actively campaign against each other, the two branches generally remained friendly.
Coats of arms[edit]
Arms of the Roosevelt family | |

![]() | |
Adopted | 17th century |
Crest | Upon a torse argent and gules,Three ostrich plumes each per pale gules and argent.[3] |
Shield | Argent upon a grassy mound a rose bush proper bearing three roses Gules barbed and seeded proper..[3] |
Motto | Qui plantavit curabit( "He who planted [us] will care [for us]" ) |
Other elements | The mantling, gules doubled argent.[3] |
The Roosevelt arms feature a rose bush in reference to the name: "Roosevelt", which is Dutch for "rose field",[4]making these an example ofcanting arms. |
In heraldry,canting armsare a visual or pictorial depiction of a surname, and were and still are a popular practice. It would be common to find roses, then, in the arms of many Roosevelt families, even unrelated ones; the name Rosenvelt means "rose field". Also, grassy mounds or fields of green would be a familiar attribute.
The Van Roosevelts ofOud-Vossemeerin Zeeland have a coat of arms that is divided horizontally, the top portion with a whitechevronbetween three white roses, while the bottom half is gold with a red lionrampant.A traditional blazon suggested would be,Per fess vert a chevron between three roses argent and Or a lion rampant gules.[3]
The coat of arms of the namesakes of the Dutch immigrant Claes van Rosenvelt, ancestor of the American political family that includedTheodoreandFranklin D. Roosevelt,were white with a rosebush with three rose flowers growing upon a grassy mound, and whosecrestwas of three ostrich feathers divided into red and white halves each. In heraldic terms this would be described as,Argent upon a grassy mound a rose bush proper bearing three roses gules barbed and seeded all proper,with a crest upon a torse argent and gules ofThree ostrich plumes each per pale gules and argent.Franklin Roosevelt altered his arms to omit the rosebush and use in its place three crossed roses on their stems, changing the blazon of his shield toThree roses one in pale and two in saltire gules barbed seeded slipped and left proper.[3]
