Sometime after 1717, (perhaps earlier), David Lyell settled at Middletown Point, (now 'Matawan, Monmouth County), on a tract of three hundred acres, where he died in 3725.
1730, January. This property, together with two houses in Amboy, was advertised for sale by his executors. His widow then resided "at her house, near Capt. Harmanus Rutgers, in New York."
1725-6, Jan. 23. He made his will; proved Nov. 22, 1726, in which he styled himself of Monmouth County, and mentioned:
Wife, Catharine.
Children, David, Catherine, Fenwick, William, Jane, Robert and Mary.
Executors: wife, sons, David and Fenwick, and daughter, Catharine.
He was interred at Topanemus, and the following inscription was, with considerable difficulty and doubtless with some inaccuracies, copied from his large, horizontal, badly cracked gravestone:
Sub Hoc Tumulo Sepultim est Cadavar Davidis Lyell nuper ex Consiliaris hujus Provincial cui . fecit [stone broken] 28 Januari, 1725 Anno Acta 55 Omna mors Aequa [in ino?] ubi semper ad esto piete Mascentes Morimur finisque ab Origine pendet.
At the head of this inscription is his Coat of Arms, with the motto: Sedulo et Honeste, which Burke's Landed Gentry gives to Lyck, of Kinnoudy, Seutland, and blazons: Or. a cross,

az., between four crosses patés, gu., within a bordure, engrailed, of the last. Crest. A Hand in armour, holding a sword, ppr., hilt and pommel, or. Motto. Forti non ignavo.
In the motto alone is there any difference between the arms on his tombstone and those given by Burke.
Letter, accompanied by a chart of the Lorraine and Lyell families, written in 1757, by Charles Miorse, who had married a grand-daughter of David Lyell; now deposited in the N. J. Hist. Society.
Dr. Sir
You see by the above Pedigree that Sir Tho. Loraine had 6 sons vizt. W", Tho", Ralph, Fenwick, Staple- ton and Edwd -- an two Daurs vizt-Jane and Catherine. The said Sir Thos after marriage and having the above sons and daur born covenanted by deed with certain Trustees to stand seized of certain Manors, Honours, Messuages Lands, Tenemos, Hereditaments situate at Kirkharle Co Northumberland and at . . . . Co: Durham to the use of himself for Life and after to his then Lady for Life after the use of his son Wm & the Issue (male of his?) body. In default of such to his second son Tho" and the HN male of his body and to the 3ª, 4th 5th & Sixth son successively in like manner and in Default of Hrs male of them Then to the use of his Daurs Jane and Catharine their heirs & assigns for ever. Now if all of ye six sons dved without Issue male or if the issue male of them be also dead with' Issue male Then the use to the Pau's will take effect. My Clyents here are the above mentioned Katherine and Jane Lyel (two rich maiden Ladies) grand daughters of Sir Thomas and aunts to my wife, and have desired me to write to England to make Inquiry after Sr. Thos's Sons & their Issue male-which if extinct they intend to prosecute for the Recovery of the estate. I desire therefore that you will make such Inquiry as diligently and as soon as may be and be pleased to send me an account thereof by the first vessel or packet boat that comes to N. Y. afterwds, together with Bill of your Fees and Disbursements &c therein which my Clyents will cither pay to your order or remit to you immediately after. If any suit Shod be commenced for the Recovery of the Estate you may depend on being employed in the same and have all proper Remittances as well touching your own Fees as the Disbursements for carrying the same on. You see the above pedigree mentions positively the death of all the sons of Sr Thos & their Issue male except Edward now as the Intelligence thereof reced here may in part be erroneous it will be proper to make Inquiry after all the rest of ye sons and their Issue male as well as Edwd, and to find out if the sd John Fenwick who marryed Jane, daur of W'm son of Sr Thos or who else be in possession of the estate or any part thereof (if of late they have so been?) to the . . . . . [?] of Sir Tho" & their descend" No Inquiry need be matic after 'em [?] as the proof of them lyes here-One thing however I must note that Thos Lyel oldest son of Cath- arine Sir Thos's Dau' was brought up by SE Thos partly at Kirkharle and partly at St. Paul's school and after- weds came over to these parts and returned again to Kirkharle just when S' Thos was dying. this last circum- stance is about 30 years ago and shews clearly the present claimants to be the persons entitled. Pray be as expeditious and secret as possible in these matters & be pleased to find out some atty at or near Morpeth in Northumberland (near which Kirkharle lyes) in whom you think you may confide to make these Inquiries. I doubt not but you and all my acquaintances have thought me a lost sheep but thanks be to God I am yet in the land of the Living. Pray give my best respects to them as they fall in your way and believe me to be D' Tommy not only your quondam School fellow & acquaintance but your present sincere Friend & hble Serv'.

David Lyell's widow, Katharine, out-lived him many years, and withdrew from New York City to Perth Amboy, where her husband had a "house standing directly upon the shore of the harbor, a short distance North of the Episcopal Church." In this town she died, Nov. 4, 1756, aged eighty-six years, and her remains were interred in the local cemetery, and are marked with a stone calling her "Katharine, relict of David Lyell."

In the garret of the Willet house, in Nutswamp, Middletown, in 1894, I found three portraits; two male and one female; the two former scaled beyond recognition, with only an indistinct hand discernable in one of them. I was able to rescue the female portrait, which proved to be Fenwick Lyell's, 5, wife, who was born a Stevens, and possibly of the Hoboken family of that name. .
Mary, wife of John West (born Micheau), says that one of the male portraits was that of a lawyer who had a pile of books by his side, and the other was that of a captain with a spy glass in his hand.
Lyell Conover said that a few years ago these portraits were in good condition. I took the carved wood frame and adjusted it to the restored portrait of his wife, which is now in my possession.

"Whence came the name of Alice FitzSimmons, as wife to John Coward, can not now be ascertained."
