Michael is first mentioned in 1713. He owned a farin on the lower part of Hog-pen Ridge. Portions of this he sold, 1732-1742, to the Purdys, Merritts, and Kniffens. The name then disappears.
BLOOMER. This name does not occur among the lists of the early settlers of New England. In 1663, one John Scott of Setauket, L. I., had a dispute with 'Bloomer,' perhaps of the same place, which the commissioners from Hartford were desired to issue. (Col. Rec. of Conn., vol. i. p. 423.)

BLOOMER. - BOYD.
I. Robert, in 1672, bought land in Rye from Philip Galpin. He be- came a proprietor of Peningo Neck, sharing in ' one equal 18th part' with Thomas Merrit, who came to Rye about the same time. Their names are invariably associated in several divisions of land. From 1681 to 1684, he was engaged in lawsuits with some of his fellow townsmen, which appear to have been decided against him. Hence, perhaps, he removed in 1684 to ' Mr. Ridgbell's greate Neck,' and before 1703 to New Rochelle. In the latter year he and his wife Rachel conveyed to their son Robert, of Rye, their 'great lotment of land which was our old house lot in the field,' with some other lands, and 'one quarter of an eighteenth part or share of lands undivided below the marked trees.'
II. 1. Robert,2 son of the preceding, was active in town affairs, being constable in 1697, townsman from 1701 to 1711, trustee till 1718, and again in 1729. In 1697 he was appointed one of a committee to lay out the lands of the proprietors, and highways through them. In 1698 the proprietors gave him the island known as Bloomer's ; and in 1701 the town gave him land ' on the lower end of Hog-pen ridge, being near the lower falls of Blind brook.' In 1707 the town granted him the'stream at the falls of Blind Brook, to erect a mill or mills, within ten years. Bloomer's mill, now Park's mill, was long known by this name. Robert was living in 1738, when he gave to his grandson Rob- ert, ' son of Robert, junior, late of Rye,' the house where his father had lived, with forty-five acres of land. The tract thus conveyed lay be- tween Ridge Street and Blind Brook and branch, south of the road to the mill, which formerly ran a little to the north of the present road.
2. John,3 of Mamaroneck, apparently a younger brother, was living in 1714.
III. Robert,3 junior, died about 1738.
IV. Robert,4 son of Robert," junior, mentioned above, was living in 1764. 'Captain Robert Bloomer' in 1775 commanded a company of the South Battalion, Westchester County Militia, raised in Mamaro- neck and Rye.
Of the same generation were John, Joseph, and Gilbert. John, mentioned 1735-1740, owned land north of Bloomer's mill. He was justice of the peace in 1746. Joseph, mentioned 1735-1748. Gilbert was justice of the peace in 1746, and town clerk in 1751. He lived on Rye Neck, in the house now occupied by C. Keeler, and owned the mill now known as ' Davenport's' near the outlet of Stony or Beaver Swamp Brook. The mill stood anciently by the dan, on the north side of the road. Daniel is mentioned 1764.
BOID or BOYD. 1. John bought a home-lot and land in Rye in 1678, when he also appears as witness. He became a co-proprietor with John Merrit, senior. 'John Boyd's meadow ' lay opposite the old mill, on Blind Brook Creek. He died about 1709.

2. John, 'son and heir' of the above, is so called in 1709. He mar- ried a daughter of Peter Disbrow, senior, of whose estate he obtained a considerable part. IIe sold in 1718 to John Disbrow his 'orchard in Rye,' of three acres, ' with the house on it.' The spot is still known to old inhabitants as ' Boyd's orchard,' directly south of Mr. Greacen's resi- dence. Traces of a stone house were to be found here half a century ago. The upper part of Mr. Greacen's farm belonged to Boyd, who in 1720 sold fifty acres to John Disbrow. He was living in 1736. Eben- ezer is mentioned in 1789, when persons are appointed by the town to collect ' the debts due from ' him ' and others to the township of Rye.'
BOWERS, Rev. Nathanael, 1697 to 1700. See page 281.
BRONDIGE. First written Brondig ; of late years, written Brun- dage .. I. John Brondig,1 mentioned 1662-1697, perhaps the son of John Brundish, of Wethersfield, Conn., was one of the original settlers of Rye. He was the first town clerk, and deputy to the General Court in 1677 and 1681. In the division of his estate, in 1698, his four sons, John, Joseph, Daniel, and Joshua, are named.
II. 1. John,2 mentioned 1687-1719, was called senior in 1707, and was the father of John and Jonathan, who sold their rights as proprie- tors to Justus Bush in 1726.
2. Joseph,2 mentioned 1697-1726, married Mary -, and was probably the father of Joseph, junior, so called in 1719.
3. Daniel,2 mentioned 1697-1723, was one of the first settlers of the White Plains, where he was living in 1721. A survey of the Plains in that year shows his house east of the highway, now Broadway, about opposite the end of Railroad Avenue.
4. Joshua,2 mentioned 1697-1719, lived at Rye 'in the town,' and was one of the proprietors in 1718. He had a son Joshua and prob- ably other children.
III. 1, 2. John 3 and Jonathan,3 sons of John,2 appear to have re- moved from Rye, after selling their proprietary rights in 1726.
3. Joseph,3 called junior in 1729, probably son of Joseph, 2 lived in 1728 about where his son Gilbert afterward lived - near the end of the lane north of Mr. Josiah Purdy's house. Joseph and Gilbert were, probably, his sons.
4. Joshua,3 styled in 1727 ' eldest son of the late Joshua Brundage,' lived on the southeast corner of Ridge Street and the road to Park's mill. He married Hannah -, December 29, 1723. Children, Han- nah, Joshna, Deborah.
IV. 1. Joseph,4 called junior in 1743, probably son of Joseph,8 was then ' of Harrison.'
2. Gilbert,4 probably another son, is mentioned in 1747. IIe married Anna, daughter of Rev. James Wetmore ; and had a son Gilbert, father of Mrs. Josiah Buckley. Gilbert lived in the house mentioned above. He had deceased in 1815.

BRONDIGE. - BROWN.
3. Hannah,4 daughter of Joshua,3 born May 2, 1733, married first, Stoakham ; secondly, Joseph Merrit. She had several children.
4. Joshua,4 son of Joshua,3 born August 10, 1736, was called junior in 1767, when he was living on Hog-pen Ridge.
5. Deborah,4 daughter of Joshua,3 born April 24, 1741. (Fam. Rec.)
Of this generation were several others, whose parentage we do not learn. Ezekiel, of Rye, aged twenty-seven, was one of the soldiers enlisted in Westchester County in 1758, for the French War. Ebenezer was living near the Ridge Road and King Street in 1757. Abraham, in 1728 had bought land adjoining Mr. Wetmore's farm, or near the present railroad station, which he owned in 1759. Hachaliah was liv- ing in 1771. Absalom married a daughter of Hachaliah Brown.
BROWN. 'This family was a younger branch of the Browns of Beechworth, in the County of Kent, England, founded by Sir Anthony Brown, who was created a Knight of the Bath, at the coronation of Richard II. He left issue two sons, Sir Richard his heir, and Sir Stephen, Lord Mayor of London in 1439. Sir Robert Brown, living temp. Henry V. was father of Sir Thomas Browne, treasurer of the household to Henry VI., and Sheriff of Kent, in 1444 and 1460. Thomas Brown, Esq., of Rye, County of Sussex, England, emigrated to Concord, Mass., circ. 1632, from whence he removed to Cambridge, where he lived some time. His sons were Thomas of Rye, who died 1694, and Hachaliah of Rye.' (Bolton, History of Westchester County, vol. ii. pp. 506. 507.)
In the following account of Thomas and Hachaliah Brown and their descendants, I have adhered to the genealogy given by Mr. Bolton. He prepared it with the help of persons who are not now living, and who were better qualified to give information on the subject than any whom I have been able to consult. It is however obviously defective in several particulars ; some of which will be noticed in the proper place.
I. 1. Thomas Brown was . aged about 22' in 1660. (New Haven Rec., vol. ii. p. 382.) In 1658 he owned land in Stamford ; and in 1669 - then living in Rye -he sold his house and land in Stamford. (Hist. Stamford, p. 51.) In 1666, he with Hachaliah owned land in Rye. In 1671 he was one of the townsmen, and in 1676 was appointed with Thomas Lyon to choose a house or place to be fortified for the safety of the town. He was a proprietor in 1683, and had shares in all the lands divided in his time. His ' lotment' of seven acres . on the banks of By- ram river and Gunn brook cove,' now Lyon's Point. he sold in 1687 to John Merrit, after whom it was long known as Merrit's Point. Thomas appears to have left no children. He died, Mr. Bolton says, in 1694.
2. Hachaliah Brown, if younger than Thomas, was not more than twenty-four or twenty-five years of age when he came to this place in 1664 or 1665. December 8, 1666, he bought from John Coe . pur- chaser of the town of Rye, being one of the four men that bought this

place in the colony of Connecticut in New England,' 'one half of a twelfth lot' or share in lands divided and undivided. The other half- lot had probably been purchased by his brother Thomas, whose land is mentioned in this deed, as bounding the lot conveyed on the southwest. This was the first of the purchases on the lower part of Peningo Neck, by which these brothers and their descendants ultimately acquired the greater portion of what became known more commonly as ' Brown's' Neck. 'Thomas and Hachaliah Brown's meadow,' near this, seems to have remained undivided for many years. 'Hackalyah Browne' was 'propownded for freeman' of Connecticut, at the court of election in Hartford, May 12, 1670. (Conn. Rec., vol. ii. p. 128.) He was un- doubtedly a proprietor, though his name is not in the list of 1683. He had shares in all the divisions of land. He had land ' lying in the Field near the Great Bridge,' which was probably a part of the property until lately owned by his descendants, where the homestead - now Mr. C. V. Anderson's - stands. He was the leading man of the community in several important transactions, as the purchase of ' Lame Will's' tract in 1680. I conjecture that he died about 1720. His chil- dren were Deliverance, Peter, Thomas, Hachaliah, Benjamin, Anne, and Mary.
II. 1. Deliverance,2 son of Hachaliah,1 called by Thomas, 'my lov- ing brother,' in 1683, appears in the pedigree as the youngest son. More probably he was the eldest. In 1678, Philip Galpin, senior, sold to Deliverance Brown all his lands in Rye, and probably his proprie- tary rights also. He appears among the proprietors in 1683, and a descendant of his nearly a century after refers to him as ' one of the ancient proprietors of Peningo neck purchase.' He was a large land- owner in Rye. He was constable in 1696, justice in 1698, and super- visor in 1701. When the inhabitants applied in 1697 to be taken back into Connecticut, Thomas Merrit and Deliverance Brown were sent to represent their wishes, and the latter was admitted as deputy to the next General Court. He had left Rye in 1724 (Records) and died in or before 1727. His children were, Deliverance, junior, Samuel, Zebe- diah, Jonathan.
2. Hachaliah,2 son of Hachaliah,1 was called major in 1752, and was justice in 1755. In 1756, says Mr. Bolton, he commanded the West- chester levies under General Lord Amherst. An account of the de- struction of his house by fire has been given, page 207. He married Ann Kniffen, and died in 1784. Children : Hachaliah 3 (of Somers), Christopher 3 (of Somers), David,3 Nathan,3 Thomas,3 Josiah,3 Isaac,3 Gilbert3 (two of this name died young).
3. Peter,2 son of Hachaliah,1 is first mentioned in 1680. In 1695 he bought from Isaac and Mary Denham two acres of land by Blind Brook, where his house and mill stood in 1731. The house is that now owned by the Misses Mead. He married a daughter of l'eter

Disbrow, of whose legacy he acknowledges the receipt in 1694. His wife Martha survived him. He died about 1731 (will dated February 11). Children : Ebenezer,8 Peter,8 Nehemiah,8 Caleb,8 Elizabeth,8 Sarah,8 Rebecca,3 Hannah.ª
4. Thomas,2 son of Hachaliah,1 was chosen a town officer in 1711- 1723. Hle died, probably without issue, in 1762.
5. Benjamin,2 son of Hachaliah,1 in 1730 had land on the West- chester Path - recently Allen Carpenter's farm - and lived, probably, in the stone house, part of which is still standing. Benjamin Brown's old house by 'ye road that leads into Harrison's Purchase' is referred to in 1732. The same property is described as 'Justice [Hachaliah] Brown's land' in 1760. Benjamin was justice, 1728-1746. He died in 1755. Children : Benjamin,8 junior, Joseph,3 Daniel,3 William.3
6. Anne Brown,2 daughter of Hachaliah,1 married Daniel Purdy.
7. Mary Brown,2 daughter of Hachaliah,1 married Absalom Bron- dige.
III. 1. Deliverance,3 junior, was assessor in 1716.
2. Samuel,3 son of Deliverance,2 not mentioned by Mr. Bolton, is so called in our Town Records in 1714 ; and in 1716 Deliverance conveys to his son Samuel, ' of Brushie Ridge,' one third of all his undivided lands ' within ye purchase of ye Eighteen of Rye (commonly so called).' This transfer he confirmed in 1724. Between 1714 and 1724 Samuel bought a number of allotments on 'Brush ridge,' below Hog pen Ridge, and here had a farm of one hundred acres or more. Ile was made justice in 1735, and died in or before 1750. 'Samuel Brown eldest son of Samuel Brown deceased,' appears on our records in 1767.
3. Zebediah,3 son of Deliverance,2 was perhaps the father of Zeb- ediah Brown,4 mentioned 1760-1771, who lived where Mr. Benjamin Loder lately lived.
4. Jonathan,3 son of Deliverance,2 was one of the most prominent members of this family. He was chosen townsman in 1728, and supervisor in 1762 and 1763, and was justice in 1735. Jonathan lived, it is supposed, in a house directly north of the late Hachaliah Brown's house - now Mr. C. V. Anderson's. He, with his cousin, Hachaliah, owned the greater part of ' the town neck,' or Brown's Point, as it came to be styled. In 1768 Jonathan was residing in Hartford, Conn. He died June 15th of that year, and was buried in the old cemetery near Milton. He had a son Jonathan.
5. Hachaliah,8 of Somers, eldest son of Hachaliah,2 was born Angust 20, 1727, and died May 22, 1813. He married Abby Halsted, born 1734, died August, 1807. Children : Nathan,4 born August 24, 1756, died March, 1814. Stephen,4 born July 10, 1766. Lewis,4 born May 12, 1776, died March 3, 1830.

14. Ebenezer,3 son of Peter Brown,2 mentioned in 1740 and 1743 as owning land jointly with Peter, on the east side of Blind Brook, above the Ridge Road. He was chosen to a town office in 1739. Ebenezer,4 junior, mentioned in 1767.
15. Peter,8 son of Peter Brown,2 in 1738 sold forty acres on Hog- pen Ridge, 'given him by the will of his deceased father Peter Brown.' According to Bolton, he had two daughters : Rebecca, married John Purdy ; and Sarah, married Thomas Sutton, and died 1739. Peter Brown,4 who sold land on the same Ridge in 1764, may have been his son.
16. Nathanael,3 son of Peter Brown,2 born in 1732, died April 10, 1801. (Tombstone, near Park's mill.)
17. Nehemiah,3 son of Peter Brown,2 signs as witness in 1742. Others of the same name are mentioned half a century later.
18. Benjamin,3 son of Benjamin Brown,2 is called junior in 1718 and 1722. The same designation reappears 1746-1758, making it highly probable that both a son and a grandson of Benjamin,2 son of Hacha- liah,1 were thus referred to. We adhere, however, to Mr. Bolton's ac- count. 'Benjamin Brown junior's house ' is said to have stood near Mr. Ives' (lately Mr. Hunt's) gate-house, on the post-road above the village.

In 1733, he bought a farm of cighty- one acres - formerly Nathanael Sherwood's - on the east side of King Street. In 1767 he sold a lot at 'Saw-pit.' As he is called the eldest, there were probably other sons of Samuel.3

BROWN, Francis, an eccentric individual, not related, so far as appears, to the preceding family. He came here about the year 1683, and was here in 1700. He had been an early settler of Stamford, where Mr. Huntington says ' he seems to have been a pertinacious stickler for the largest liberty to the individual.' His second wife was Judith, daughter of John Budd, and widow of John Ogden ; and through her he acquired property in Rye. In 1685, 'while now lying upon his bed of sickness,' he made his will, which for some reason is entered in full on our rec- ords ; ' for the settling and ordering of his effects according to his will and mind as it becomes a Christian living in his condition, that after his decease there may be no contentions arise amongst his successors, and free the country from trouble as concerning him.' Hc . returns to his dear and loving wife Judith Brown that part of the estate that fell to her of her former husband, which the overseers gave her . . . only my wife is to pay Captain Silleck for the cider I bought of him this last fall, and take in my bill.' He survived, however, and was alive in 1700. Ilis son Joseph returned to Stamford.
BUDD. I. John, born in England, was one of the planters of New Haven in 1639, and continued there about ten years. In 1653 he was appointed deputy to the General Court from Southold, but had returned to England upon a visit. He was lieutenant at Southold until 1660, when he resigned that office. His purchases at Rye have been related in the earlier pages of this volume. Mr. Budd married Katharine

John Budd of Southold left two sons, John and Joseph ; and two daughters : Judith, who married first John Ogden, and second Francis Brown ; and Jane, who married Joseph Horton. (Rye Records, B. 57, deed from Jane and Joseph Horton, in 1673, to John Budd of Southold, conveying to him one hundred acres of land ' which our father Budd gave us.' See also the declaration quoted above.)
By his will dated October 13, 1669, he gave his son John part of the mill on Blind Brook, and his son Joseph the 'Epauquammes ' land. (Town of Southold, L. I., Indexes, by Charles B. Moore, New York, 1868.)
II. 1. John Budd, ' born probably in England in 1620,' married Mary --; after his father's decease he confirmed the grants which he had made to various persons. He returned, apparently, to Southold, and died November 5, 1684. His brother-in-law, Joseph Horton, seems to have succeeded him in the ownership of the mill on Blind Brook. According to the 'Indexes of Southold, L. I.,' John Budd2 had two sons, John and Joseph ; and four daughters : Mary married [first, -

Niccols ; second] Christopher Youngs ; Hannah married Jonathan Hart ; Sarah probably married Benjamin Conkling; and Ann married Benjamin Horton. By his will, John gave his land in Southold to his son John, and that in Westchester County to his son Joseph and daughter Hannah.
2. Joseph,2 second son of John Budd, was known as ' Captain Budd' as early as 1700. IIe was prominent in town and county affairs, being townsman in 1701, justice of the peace in 1710, farmer of the excise from 1714 to 1721, and supervisor of the town from 1713 to 1716, and from 1720 to 1722. In 1720 he obtained a patent for the tract pur- chased by his father and known as Budd's Neck. He died in 1722. He had married Sarah -. Children : John, Joseph, Elisha, Under- hill.
III. 1. John, son of Joseph Budd? is mentioned in our records, 1723 to 1745. He inherited the estate on Budd's Neck, which he sold in 1745, principally to Peter Jay. In 1753, 'John Budd, late of Rye, now of Roxboro, Morris County, New Jersey,' sold a remaining parcel of land on Budd's Neck. He married Mary, daughter of Daniel Strang. Children : Daniel, Elijah ; Hannah, who married Hachaliah Purdy ; Mary, married Caleb Horton ; Joseph, John, Underhill ; Sally, married Thomas Sawyer; Gilbert, Abigail.
2. Joseph,3 son of Joseph Budd,2 married Ann -. His will was made in 1763. Children: Joseph, Nicholas, Underhill, Anne ; Sarah, married John Que of Dutchess.
3. Elisha,3 son of Joseph Budd,2 was born in 1705, and died Septem- ber 21, 1765. IIis land on Budd's Neck is mentioned 1730. Ile mar- ried Ann Lyon, who died December 6, 1760, aged sixty years. In 1753 he was living at the White Plains. Children :
Jonathan, James,
