He possessed great energy of character, strong will, and displayed many traits of inherent talents and abilities. He always held a position of prominence among his neighbors, and was not slow to assert and maintain his rights. He was stricken with paralysis, and after a lingering illness, through which he re- tained all his faculties except the use of his limbs, he died at the old homestead on the 30th of October, 1782, aged 65 years, and was buried in the Ten Eyck vault, in St. Paul's churchyard, New York city.
Through the marriage of his only surviving child with Andrew Gautier, her children were his heirs-at-law. He, however, executed a will in which, after providing for his wife, he leaves his entire estates to his two grandsons, Thomas and Daniel Gautier. By the death of Daniel in 1791, Thomas became the sole owner of the property.
" The property was principally embraced in the original patent from Win. Kieft, Governor of New Netherlands, to Claes Carstensen Norman, dated March 25, 1647, and confirmed with additions to Lawrence Andriese by patent from Gov. Philip Carteret, dated March 26, 1667. The additions were portions of the original patents to Barnt Christians and Casper Steymets.

Jacques Gautier, said to be the first of the name in New York, had two sons, Daniel and François, and several daughters. The family are among the early members of the Huguenot church- L' Eglise du St. Esprit-in New York city.

In the dissensions in the Huguenot church in 1724, caused by a quarrel between two different parties in the church as to the claims of rival ministers, Daniel Gautier sided with the " De Lancey party," as it was called, and upon Gov. Burnet deciding adversely to their claims, left the church. During his lifetime he attended the Dutch church, but his children became members of the English, afterward Episcopal church, in the parish of Trinity.
