ANSWER

This question is impossible to answer because records were not complete as far back as you requested. Indians and slaves were not included in the population growth and no records were kept regarding the immigrants. This is as close as I could come:

The English noticed how well the Dutch were doing and decided to follow the Dutch to the New Land and look for some opportunities for themselves. In 1664 the British took over New Amsterdam from the Dutch and called it New York after the Duke of York. The colony remained predominantly Dutch, 1690 one half of the 14,000 white settlers in New York were Dutch. (2) Albany and Kingston retained a large Dutch population and architecture well into the 1700s. The French, Germans and the Scottish also started to settle into New York.

The Algonquin population was decreasing due to the European diseases such as the measles and small pox. The Iroquois thrived with trade with the Dutch, British and the French, trading furs for pots, beads and firearms. During the French and Indian War some Iroquois were sided with the British against the French. Some resented the alliance between the French and the Huron Indian tribes. At the End of the French and Indian War, England gained control over North America. The Iroquois did not fare well during the American Revolutionary War where they again were allies with Great Britain. In 1779 American Generals Clinton and Sullivan waged a campaign against the Native Americans and by the time the campaign was over the Iroquois nation was falling apart. Thousands of Iroquois fled to Canada while others resettled onto reservations.

After the war New York made a rapid recovery and settlers poured into New York City, the Mohawk Valley and the Finger Lakes region. Between 1790 and 1820, New Yorks population almost doubled. (2) Many of the settlers came from New England because the farmland was better than the rocky soil in New England. The people had strong work ethics. The protestant religion had a strong hold in New York as well. In 1825 the Erie Canal opened and established the first water route between East and the Midwest.(2) Many people started to immigrate to the West of New York. New York City became a very important port area making New York City the largest metropolis in the New World.

Slavery was a way of life since 1626 in New York as well as the rest of the New Nation. New York had the largest number of slaves of any colony north of Maryland. (2) In 1779, New York passed a law where children of slaves born after July 4, 1779 were free after females reached the age of 25 and males after they reached the age of 28. Slavery was not completely abolished until 1827. New York played a major role in the Underground Railroad, especially in the Niagara frontier. Famous abolitionists, William Seward, Frederick Douglass, Gerrit Smith, Martin Van Buren, John Brown and Harriet Tubman lived and worked in New York, helping slaves find their way to freedom from the south and finally ending slavery in this Country.

The Irish and German Catholics started to comes between 1820 and 1860; New Yorks population went from 1.3 million to 3.8 million. By 1855 one-fourth of the states population was foreign-born. Older Protestant people resented the new wave of the Roman Catholic religion, parochial schools, salons and clubs coming into the Country. They perceived the Irish and German Catholics as morally lax, lazy, ignorant, dirty and prone to violence. (2)
