INTKODUCTION. 
 
 To rightly study history, to gain something more from 
 it than a mere knowledge of names and dates, in other 
 words to acquire a clear, comprehensive and just under- 
 standing of a given time and people, it is self-evident 
 the student should acquaint himself with the writers of 
 the age under examination and whenever possible with 
 original documents. It also behooves him to be con- 
 stantly on his guard, if he is indeed seeking truth, not to 
 communicate his ideas to the period he is studying: to 
 imagine the past Is like the present, that the men of 
 the time were like those of to-day, having the same ideals, 
 the same manner of seeing and feeling, for if he does, 
 he will fall into deplorable errors of judgment, inexcus- 
 able mistakes by either overrating an epoch, giving it 
 virtues it never possessed, or on the other hand wrongly 
 taxing it with being ignorant or degenerate. 
 
 It is plain from the foregoing dicta that in order to 
 have a right conception, of the past, we must keep in 
 mind that the inconceivable to us may have been per- 
 fectly natural to the men of those times, that their souls 
 were of quite another temper from our own, and al- 
 though they viewed things diiferently and took pleasure 
 in what is now repugnant, nevertheless, they were in ac- 
 cord with the spirit of their age, were legitimate chil- 
 dren of its genius, and therefore must be judged accord- 
 ingly. It is the only safe and fair way to securely come 
 to a just knowledge of real beings in their real life 
 and groAvth and to analyze truthfully their actual lives. 
 In other words, if we wish to form a true and altogether 
 unbiased picture in our minds of the past we must 
 in our imagination live and converse with its men, be-

 como one of them, moved l>y the same motives, seeing 
 all things from their point of view. In order to ac- 
 complish this somewhat difficult task :. to call fortli gen- 
 erations from the tomb and make them live again and 
 understand the propelling force of their actions, there is 
 no greater help than a studious perusal of contemporary 
 documents. And here, in this Old Town Records^ we 
 have sucli a document. A rendition of New Rochelle's 
 seventeenth and eighteenth century public archives, the 
 originals of which are written in a mixture of English 
 and French, and evidently not by scholars ; moreover this 
 transcription and the translations are not only erudite, 
 but are also conscientious, accurate and unabridged. 
 Indeed it is a valuable publication, one which must prove 
 of great interest to all intelligent citizens of New Ro- 
 chelle, to all those who care to obtain a true understand- 
 ing of the external everyday life of its first settlers, as 
 it will materially enable them to comprehend their spirit, 
 their feelings and the guiding principles of their religious, 
 civic and social life. 
 
 At the end of the seventeenth century, contemporary 
 with the settlement of New Rochelle, Europe had almost 
 recovered from the shock of the Reformation and its sub- 
 sequent relentless and often malevolent religious contro- 
 versies, but the persecutions, oppressions and wars they 
 provoked were still rife, and all this in opposition to 
 the general awaking in Central and Northern Europe to 
 the value of the arts, sciences and commercial industries: 
 the fruits of peace; and also in spite of the compelling 
 and adventurous spirit that was abroad to enter by trade 
 and travel into a greater intercommunication with men 
 of various nations; and above all contrary to the then 
 abiding and awaking desire found everywhere, among 
 all conditions of men, for enfranchisement from inherited 
 feudalism, co-existing with a growing belief in the doc- 
 trine of personal liberty, a foreshadowing as it were of 
 modern Democracy. 
 
Introduction^. vii 
 
 111 England James Stuart, when Duke of York and 
 afterwards in 1685 on becoming King, openly declared his 
 disapprobation of religious persecution, and used all his 
 influence, not only for the relief of oppressed Englishmen 
 of every faith, but also for the many Protestant refugees 
 who had fled from the religious and political perse- 
 cutions in France and Flanders, more particularly those 
 who sought an asylum in Great Britain and its colonies 
 from the persecutions which they suffered at the hands 
 of Louis XIV, when he revoked the Edict of Nantes in 
 1685, an edict which had been issued eighty-seven years 
 before by Henry IV in favor of his Protestant subjects. 
 This revocation by Louis, together with his attacks on 
 the Huguenots, Jansenists and Quietists was merely car- 
 rying to its logical conclusion his theory of absolutism 
 and belief in the divine origin of the royal power, 
 spurred on by his enormous egotistical bigotry, and not 
 because of his religious faith. 
 
 Although most of these refugees known as Huguenot, 
 a name imported into France from Geneva and first used 
 as a term of reproach, a word of doubtful etymology, 
 but probably derived from the German eidgenoss : an 
 oath-fellow, a confederate, were honest men and women, 
 industrious and skilful artisans, nevertheless they were 
 not received with feelings of pity or regarded with favor 
 by their fellow Protestants in England. John Bull in 
 the seventeenth century always objected to the presence 
 of foreigners, believing as he did that England had much 
 to fear from foreign ambition, so took good care to keep 
 them and all strangers from over the sea under the 
 watchful eye of the parochial authorities, enrolling them: 
 their name, place of birth, age, occupation and residence. 
 As early as 1630, after the fall of La Rochelle, the last 
 Protestant place of refuge in France, Maltravers, Earl 
 of Arundel and Surry, thought to utilize these foreigners 
 dwelling in England by making them colonists, and with 
 their assistance establish a feudal principality in Aiiier-

 iea, south of Viiginia. A settloment to that end was 
 attempted, under the leadership of one Captain Sance, 
 a Huguenot adventurer, hut in the end the venture 
 proved a failure. Later, however, many Huguenots 
 found 23ermanent liomes in the American colonies. After 
 the revocation of the Edict of Nantes more than two 
 hundred families, fleeing from the religious bigotry of 
 King Louis, reached New York and were welcomed by 
 its inhabitants. It was a propitious time, as the then gov- 
 ernor: Col. Thomas Dongaii, a broadminded gentleman 
 and an able diplomat, had just proclaimed by proclama- 
 tion, under the authority and by direction of the Duke 
 of York, religious toleration to all, which Charter Liber- 
 ties was confirmed by the first elected legislative body of 
 the colony (Oct. 17, 1683) and upon which are based all 
 of the later Constitutions of the State of New York. 
 
 Nineteen or twenty years before the coming of the 
 Huguenots to New York, when Col. Eichard Nicholls 
 was governor, there was living at Fairfield, Conn., Mr, 
 Thomas Pell, at one time "Gentleman of the bedcham- 
 ber" to King Charles I, a son of the Kev. John Pell, in- 
 cumbent of Southwyck, in the County of Sussex in 
 England, who appeared before the Court of Assize at New 
 Y'ork on Sept. 29, 1665, and claimed that he had bought 
 in the year 1654 certain lands from the Indians, and 
 he asked that this purchase and his title to the same be 
 confirmed by letter patent. In compliance with his re- 
 quest there was issued to him on the 8th day of October, 
 1666, a Koyal Patent giving him the ownership of the 
 lands he claimed w^ere his and afterwards known as 
 Pelham Manor: a tract to the Eastward of Westchester 
 hounds, hounded to the Westicard icith the river called 
 hy the Indians, Aqueouncke, commonly known hy the 
 English, hy the name of Hutchinson's river, which run- 
 neth into the Bay lying hetweoi Throckmorton's neck 
 <ind Ann Hooks neck, commonly called Hutchinson's 
 Bay, hounded on the East, hy a hrook called Cedar Tree 
 
. Introduction. ix 
 
 Brook or Gravelly BrooU, on the South hy the sound 
 ivhich lyeth hetiveen Long Island and the main land, ivith 
 all the islands in the Sound, not already granted or other- 
 icise disposed' of, lying before that tract of land so hound- 
 ed as is before expressed, and northtvards, to run into the 
 woods about eight English miles in breadth as the bounds 
 to the Sound. 
 
 Upon the death in 1669 of Thomas Pell his nephew be- 
 came the next proprietor of Pelham Manor, in accord- 
 ance with the will of his uncle, where he says — I doe 
 make my nephew, John Pell, living in ould England., the 
 only Sonne of my only brother John Pell, Doctor of 
 Divinity, which he had by his first wife, my whole and 
 sole heire of all my lands and houses in any parte of New 
 England, or in ye territoryes of ye Duke of Yorke. 
 
 This John Pell, a young bachelor, well educated, and 
 probably an attorney-at-law, lost no time in taking pos- 
 session of his inheritance, for it is of record he arrived 
 in Boston in the Fall of 1670 and in Fairfield, Con- 
 necticut, before the end of the year, but just the date of 
 his advent at Pelham Manor is not known. His bachelor- 
 hood must have been very sweet to him, as he did not 
 marry until 1684 in his 41st year, taking for his wife 
 Rachel Abigail, the youngest daughter of his near neigh- 
 bor Philip Pinckney, Esq., one of the first patentees of 
 Eastchester. He took an active part in all public matters, 
 and for some years was Judge of the Court of Common 
 Pleas for Westchester County. Fifteen years before his 
 death, which occurred by drowning wiiile he was sailing 
 in his pleasure boat off City Island in 1702, he obtained a 
 Royal Patent, dated the five and twentyeth day of Octo- 
 ber, in the third year of the Kinge Majestye's reigne, 
 (James II.) and in the year of the Lord one thousand 
 six hundred eighty-seven, confirming him in his right to 
 The Lordship and Manor of Pelham. And in the follow- 
 ing year "for a valuable consideration" he and his wife 
 Rachel conveyed to Jacob Leisler of New York, merchant, 
 
X Introduction. 
 
 all that tract of land in the Manor Telliam (now called 
 New Roclielle) containing six thousand acres, also one 
 hundred acres of land for the use of the "French church 
 erected or to be erected by the inhabitants'' of New 
 Rochelle. Jacob Leisler on his part agreed that he, his 
 heirs and assigns Avould present "on every four and 
 twentieth day of June, yearly and every year forever if 
 demanded" by John Pell and his heirs, one fat calf, 
 as an acknowledgment of the manorial lordship. 
 
 This Jacob Leisler, commissioned by the French 
 Huguenots to obtain the above named land for their use : 
 for those in New York and for their fellow refugees to 
 arrive from Europe and elsewhere, and also for those 
 already settled upon it, viz: the Cothonneau, i^llaire, 
 Fourrestier and other families, was a Avell to do and 
 rich merchant, a man of French ancestry but born in 
 Germany, a staunch Calvinistic Protestant and a pro- 
 nounced Anti-Jacobin, with strong democratic tendencies. 
 Hence he was very popular with the common people, who 
 were bitterly opposed to the Dutch and English govern- 
 ing classes, and who not only made him Mayor of New^ 
 York but also Governor of the Province. His end however 
 was a sad one, as he was hung as a traitor, a catastrophe 
 brought about by the connivance of the aristrocratic 
 Van Cortlandts and Bayards, although he was allied 
 to them by marriage. This execution took place a 
 year after he had released to the Huguenots the last 
 parcel of land purchased for them from John Pell, 
 hence their titles were not affected by the confiscation of 
 his possessions by the government at the time of his 
 death. 
 
 The publication of these original and early records of 
 New Rochelle Avill be of the utmost value to both students 
 of local and state history, presenting as they do a picture 
 truly characteristic of the times in wiiich they were 
 written ; and further these texts of bygone days will prove 
 of deep interest to every one living in New Rochelle, 
 
Introduction. xi 
 
 as they will give them not only the pleasure of getting 
 back for a while into the days of the founders of the city, 
 a time when there was more honesty in life than in this 
 age of wanton luxury, although the human heart beat 
 as passionately then as now, but will also enable them to 
 arrive at a fuller realization of the phenomenal changes 
 that have taken place since the first settlement of New 
 Eochelle; in no particular more so, than its having 
 grown from a small hamlet inhabited by a people of one 
 religious faith, nurturing exclusively a form of Calvinism 
 of the strictest sort, into a large city populated by people 
 of every faith and no faith, yet, held indissolubly to- 
 gether by a bond of charity so broad it will not allow one 
 citizen to be estranged from another because of religious 
 differences. It can be truthfully said that New Eochelle 
 of to-day, because of this spirit of toleration and in union 
 with a sterling Huguenot leaven, is a city of peace, where 
 the people of every nationality, religious belief and 
 political creed are united in a common endeavor to make 
 it a moral and law abiding community. 
 
 It is to be hoped that the publication of these Domestic 
 State Papers will lead to other manuscripts and docu- 
 ments which are now preserved in public and private 
 hands seeing the light and being issued in an equally as 
 permanent form.

 Province of New York— I, Ambroise Sicard, living in the

 uncertain, have wished, so as to keep good peace and family 
 harmony between Ambroise Sicard, my oldest son ; Daniel

 the little property which it has pleased God to give mclind 
 as I want them and desire them to divide it among them- 
 selves after the Lord will have recalled me from this world 
 to join Him, according to my hope. In the first place 
 I so will and desire that my son, Ambroise, shall have 
 forever for himself and his heirs the house in which he 
 now dwells, with five acres of land adjoining it, besides 
 the two thirds of 95 acres of land which I acquired of 
 Guillaume le Conte and will take these two thirds on one 
 end to the salt meadows ; on the other to the lands of Pel- 
 etreau from one side to the lands of Guillaume le Conte 
 and the other to the other third of my said land, on which 
 third there will be allowed to him a passageway of the

 which I am now dwelling, with the eighty acres of land 
 which belong to it, as I have acquired them of the late 
 Mr. Pelletreau, and that in the most part in compensa- 
 tion for my work. Thirdly, I so will gjid desire that my 
 son, Jacques Sicard, shall have for himself and his heirs 
 the house in which he now dwells

 The 16th Jan, 1713, the Sieur Zacharie Langevin and

 to have registered on the Record of New Rochelle what 
 follows, viz : That the said Sieur Zacharie Langevin, in 
 presence of the said Srs Pre, Berthin and Isaaq Das, son, 
 went to the widow Suire, asking her to fence between the 
 Sieur Langevin and herself or, better still, would she 
 not prefer to pay him fOT the fences. 
 
 To which the said Suire answered that she did not 
 want to fence and that the fences belonged to her ; upon 
 what her son-in-law asked him to wait until the 
 fences were built and that he. would fence and as since 
 then they have not settled the matter the Sieur Langevin, 
 in presence of the said Sieurs Berthin and Das have 
 again, this day, 16th of January, 1713, gone to the said 
 Suire to tell her to fence or to pay for the fences she 
 answered him she would not do it until the fences were 
 rotted, and as the said fences all belonged to the isaid 
 Langevin he told her that if it were not done in three 
 months from this day he would take down the fences so 
 as to have their land in common, upon Avhich she an- 
 swered, she defied him to do it and that she had bought 
 with the land the fences that were upon it for a distance 
 of 10 to 11 panels which the seller of the land told her 
 belonged to the said Langevin; also the said Aman 
 Guion, her son-in-law, isaid to the sd Langevin that in 
 reference to the middle fence, which was in the middle 
 of the land of the said Suire and which also belonged 
 to the said Langevin, he would give her an answer in

 Agreeable to tlie Resolve of the ToA^^l of New Rochelle 
 at their annual Town Meeting held the 3rd day of 
 April 1827 the following Letter Recorded Copy 
 New^ York April 10th 1824 
 Dear Sir 
 
 After some delay w^e have obtained tlie acct of the 
 executors of Henderson, They admit to have reed in all 
 116885 .7.5 They have paid 85 percent on all the legacies 
 except from the Town house of New Rochelle and for 
 Elizabeth the mother for the former they have retained 
 in their hands |1020 for the latter .|2040 being in each 
 case 85 prcent on the sum bequeathed 
 
 It does not appear that they have put any of this 
 money out at interest. 
 
 the Balance in their hands they make f27C.38 as their 
 
:N'ew Rochellei Town Records. 439 
 
 acct contains a great many items of Expenditures for 
 the estate with the propriety of which we are inac- 
 quainted we have thought it better to have you see it 
 before we proceed further before the master and there- 
 fore request, (if you think it important) that you will 
 come down the first convenient opportunity, we are 
 aware that the great question is wether Elizabeth's 
 Legacy should not be appropriated tow^ards paying the 
 other legacies in full she being in all probabilky dead 
 long Since and we shall inforce this point most 
 streniously, but it may be necessary for us to offer 
 proof that the executors have not been able to hear 
 of her and that it is in fact a lapsed legacy we. shall 
 want your answer & remain respectfully etc
