 YORK, THIS WORK IS RESPECTFULLY 
 
INTRODUCTION. 
 
 The County of Westchester, from its advan- 
 tageous position and fertile soil, was always consid- 
 ered one of the most important portions of the 
 Province of New York, and for many years before 
 the English conquest was a source of bitter conten- 
 tion between the Dutch and their neighbors of the 
 Colony of Connecticut. The very names of the 
 regions are a lesson in history and geography. To 
 the Dutch advancing from the west it. was known as 
 the " Oost Dorp," or the east AuUage, while by the 
 English coming from the east and extending their 
 boundaries it was called the Westchester, To this 
 place came new settlers not only from New England 
 but from all parts of Long Island. This new class 
 of inhabitants were all united in the desire to have 
 Westchester considered a part of Connecticut. 
 Among them were men from Southampton, L. I., 
 who afterward became very prominent. One of 
 these, Richard Mills, was one of the earliest settlers 
 in that village, and was the first town clerk and 
 schoolmaster. About 165 1 he left Southamptoa 
 and settled in Newtown, but shortly after removed 
 to Westchester. Here the schoolmaster found him- 
 
viii Introduction. 
 
 self in hot water. The whole region was debatable 
 land, held and occupied by the Dutch and claimed 
 by the English. He soon became one of the recog- 
 nized leaders of the English faction. Their machi- 
 nations against the Dutch government were so 
 public and notorious that Peter Stuyvesant sent a 
 band of soldiers and arrested the leaders of what he 
 termed the "English thieves," and put them in 
 prison in New Amsterdam, and among these was 
 Richard Mills. 
 
 Now there may be some philosophical enough to 
 believe that 
 
 «' Stone walls do not a prison make, 
 Nor iron bars a cage," 
 
 but the schoolmaster was not one of them. A few 
 weeks in this unpleasant position brought him to his 
 senses, and he addressed a piteous letter to Peter 
 Stuyvesant, or as he calls him " My Dear Lord 
 Steveson" asking for release. But the individual 
 called by the veracious Diedrich Knickerbocker 
 " Peter the Headstrong " turned a deaf ear to the 
 complaints of the schoolmaster, and he continued to 
 languish. Soon after he wrote another letter to the 
 " High Court at Manhattan " praying for relief, and 
 stating that he had been tenderly brought up from 
 his infancy, and that confinement in their prison 
 would " perdite " (destroy or endanger) his life un- 
 less he were speedily released, and urging, as an 
 additional inducement, his intention " to go about 
 
Introduction. ix 
 
 his affairs to Virginia " as soon as freed from prison. 
 He was soon after released on condition of his agree- 
 ing to do nothing against the Dutch Government ; 
 but the English accounts state that his sufferings 
 caused his death, "which happened soon after." 
 Such was the unhappy fate of the first town clerk 
 of the oldest English town, and the first English 
 schoolmaster in the Province of New York. In 
 1 710 Richard Mills of Cohansey, in New Jersey, 
 speaks of himself in a deed as being " grand son, 
 and sole heir at law of Mr. Richard Mills formerly 
 of Westchester." It would be interesting to know 
 if he has any descendants living. 
 
 Another prominent citizen was Capt. William 
 Barnes, who came from Southampton. He was a 
 son of Joshua Barnes, a very early settler in that 
 town, and from him and his nephew Joshua Barnes 
 many families of that name are descended. 
 
 Although after the conquest the original Dutch 
 settlers were soon outnumbered by the English, yet 
 there still remained a large population of that race, 
 who clung to the ancient language and customs of 
 their ancestors. This was especially true of the 
 region embraced in the great manor of PhilHpsburgh, 
 which was owned by Fredrick Phillipse, the "rich 
 man of New Amsterdam," and his descendants down 
 to the end of the Revolution. The lands in this 
 tract were held by tenants, mostly on life leases, and 
 upon the death of the tenant the land and improve- 
 ments reverted to the Lord of the Manor, unless he 
 
X Introduction. 
 
 saw fit to continue the heirs in possession. This is 
 alluded to in many of the wills. 
 
 The great manor of Cortlandt, the property of 
 Stephen Van Cortlandt, was also divided into farms 
 and held by tenants, but mostly on long leases. In 
 other parts of the county, as in the town or Borough 
 of Westchester, lands were held in fee simple, and 
 this accounts for their large population. 
 
 The region now embraced in Greenwich was 
 always claimed as a part of the Province of New 
 York, and the contest between the two colonies con- 
 cerning it lasted for years. To retain this tract and 
 give nothing in return for it exercised all the shrewd- 
 ness and cunning for which the inhabitants of Con- 
 necticut have always been noted. As a final set- 
 tlement of the controversy, Connecticut gave in 
 exchange a strip of land one mile, three-quarters, and 
 twenty-seven rods wide, and sixty-eight miles long, 
 extending from near the middle of the east line of 
 Westchester County, to the line of Massachusetts. 
 This tract was known as the " Oblong " or " Equiva- 
 lent Lands." It was sold to a number of capitalists, 
 who divided it into square lots of 500 acres each. 
 These lots were soon sold to actual settlers, who 
 were attracted by the fact that they could buy their 
 land in fee simple, and at the time of the Revolu- 
 tion there were more inhabitants on the "Oblong" 
 in proportion to its extent, than in any of the great 
 manors. In preparing the following abstracts of 
 wills the writer has been actuated by a desire to omit 
 
Introduction. xi 
 
 nothing that can throw any light on genealogy or 
 real estate. The descriptions of parcels of land are 
 given in the words of the will. As regards' personal 
 property the writer makes a distinction between 
 articles of permanent and lasting value, and those 
 that are transient and perishable. If a man left to 
 his children or wife articles of silver ware, — as a 
 tankard, a porringer, or spoons, or a Bible, or a 
 sword, — the fact is carefully noted, as these articles 
 may still be in existence, and treasured as valued 
 heirlooms. But if he left to any of his heirs five 
 pounds, a cow, or a feather bed, we conclude that the 
 money is spent, the cow dead, and the bed worn out. 
 Such things are mentioned under the general name 
 of " legacies." It has also been our object to omit 
 nothing that can throw any light on the manners and 
 customs of the time. The religious element in the 
 wills is to be especially noticed : the testator leaves 
 his body to the ground, and his soul to God wha 
 gave it, in full confidence that at the " Last Great 
 Day" the former will be raised again by the "mighty 
 power of God." We have no hesitation in express- 
 ing our opinion that the " Know all men by these 
 presents," of the present time, is a very poor substi- 
 tute for the " In the Name of God, Amen," invari- 
 ably used in the ancient times. 
 
 In the wills of Jews, the expression " In the year 
 of our Lord " is omitted in deference to the wishes 
 of the testator. 
 
 Among the early Dutch residents, a funeral was 
 
xii Introduction. 
 
 an occasion of enjoyment rather than of solemnity. 
 Ardent spirits were freely dispensed to those attend- 
 ing, and a lavish entertainment was frequently 
 provided. To the English population a pompous 
 funeral was a thing greatly desired, and not unfre- 
 quently was a source of expense which weighed 
 heavily upon the family. One of the most interest- 
 ing wills in this book is that of a Quaker who states 
 that he has frequently " borne his testimony " against 
 such things during his life and now " bears his last 
 testimony." 
 
 In early times the eldest son was supposed to be 
 heir at law to all lands, and some especial legacy was 
 very frequently left to him for the purpose of pre- 
 venting such a claim. 
 
 Where the names of executors are omitted in these 
 abstracts, it is in cases where their names already 
 appear in the will. Where the witnesses are omitted 
 it is when they are well-known persons whose names 
 very frequently occur.

THE OLD HAVILAND INN, RYE, N. Y. 
 
 This ancient mansion, a noted tavern, or place of 
 entertainment, in olden times, was as early as 1731 
 the homestead of Peter Brown. After his death it 
 passed into the possession of Rev. James Wetmore, 
 Rector of the Parish of Rye. In 1763 it was the 
 residence of his son Timothy Wetmore, who mar- 
 ried Jane Haviland. As early as 1770 Dr. Ebenezer 
 Haviland, brother-in-law of Timothy Wetmore, and 
 afterward a surgeon in the Revolution, kept this 
 tavern. During the war it was kept by Jonathan 
 Wright, but it reverted to Mrs. Tamar Haviland, 
 widow of the doctor. Gen. Washington in his diary 
 thus alludes to it: "Thursday Oct 15, 1789. After 
 dinner through frequent light showers, we proceeded 
 to the Tavern of a Mrs. Haviland at Rye ; who 
 keeps a very neat and decent Inn." His next stop- 
 ping place was at the tavern of one Webb in Stam- 
 ford. The General describes it as " a tolerable good 
 house, but not equal in appearance and reality, to 
 Mrs. Haviland's." In 1774 John Adams stopped 
 here on his way from Boston to New York. Widow 
 Haviland was succeeded by Peter Quintard, who was 
 landlord in 1797. In 1801 the house passed into the 
 hands of Nathaniel Penfield, and at his death, in 
 
 409 
 
4IO The Old Haviland Inn, Rye, N. Y. 
 
 1810, fell to his son Henry L, Penfield. The hotel 
 was a noted stopping place on the Boston road, in 
 the days of stages, and among its guests was Gen. 
 Lafayette in 1824. It ceased to be an Inn about 
 1830, and in 1835 it was sold to David H. Mead, in 
 whose family it now remains.
