British navy. He returned to this country after the Revolution, and lived with his cousin, Colonel Gilbert Budd of Mamaroneck, until his death, which occurred October 14, 1805. He was eighty-five years old.
7. Tamar,4 daughter of Underhill Budd,3 married Ebenezer Havi- land, M. D., of Rye, March 25, 1765. Sce notices of him, pp. 146, 224. Dr. Haviland died at Wallingford, Conn., in 1781. Mrs. Havi- land died March 18, 1816. Their children were: Gilbert Budd, who died young ; Esther, born March 27, 1768; Sarah Budd, born March 12, 1771; Horatio Gates, born August 28, 1773, died aged twenty-five years ; and Ophelia, born 1776.
8. Gilbert,4 son of Underhill Budd,3 married Sarah Amelia Theall. See mention of Colonel Budd, pp. 226, 231. Little is known of the par- ticulars of his military career, which is said to have been honorable and useful. He was in command of troops at Bedford in December, 1778, as appears from the following pass, the original of which, in a fine, bold handwriting, lies before me : -
' Permit the bearers Messrs Josiah Brown & John Theal to pass un- molested to Rye, they behaveing themselves as becometh -
' GILBT BUDD L. Col'.

5. Sarah, daughter of Colonel Gilbert Budd,4 died June 8, 1817, aged thirty-five years.
6. Ophelia,5 twin sister of Sarah, is still living (August, 1870), re- taining, in her ninetieth year, to a remarkable degree, the faculties of a clear and cultivated mind. Miss Budd resides in New Rochelle.
BULLOCK. 'Richard Booloch' was a resident of Stamford in 1677, when he owned a farm which John Budd had given to his son-in-law, John Ogden. (Hist. of Stamford, p. 179.) He was probably the same with 'Richard Bolards' who witnessed Budd's will, already quoted, in 1669. This individual appears to have lived at Rye long enough to own property here, and to bestow his name upon two or three localities.

ceased, at Rye. 'Bollard's ridge ' near the ' haseco meadows,' is men- tioned in 1682; and . a piece of salt meadow lying by the mill creek ' is said in 1700 to have been 'formerly called Bolluck's meadow.' This seems to have been near the spot which is still designated as ' Bullock's landing,' on the west shore of the creek, upon Mr. S. C. Genin's land. There was also a tract of land in the southern part of Harrison, known by this name. 'The swamp called Bullock's meadow,' in 1730, was equally divided between Jonathan Haight's farm and that of the Rev. James Wetmore. A portion of Mr. Stevens's farm is still known to the old inhabitants by this name.
CHURCH, John, was witness to a deed in 1661, and is mentioned from that date to 1707. In 1680 he bought land on Barton's Neck from Jonathan Vowles, who calls him 'my kinsman.' His widow had admin- istered on his estate in April, 1707. (N. Y. Col. MSS. vol. lii. p. 41.) John, mentioned in 1708, may have been his son. Justus Church signs as witness in 1678.
CLERE, George. See page 22.
COLLYER, Benjamin, was in Rye in 1682 ; see pp. 34. 63, 308. Ben- jamin Collyer was high sheriff from 1688 to 1692, and clerk of West- chester County from 1698 to 1707. (Hist. Westchester County, vol. i. pp. xix., xx.)
COE. I. John, ' one of the four men that bought the place,' was the eldest son of Robert Coe, of Norfolk County, England. He was born there in 1622, and came with his father to Watertown, thence to Weth- ersfield, and thence to Stamford. While there he received, December 7, 1641, a house-lot of two acres, and three acres of woodland. He soon went to Hempstead. L. I, and thence to Newtown ; and was at Greenwich in 1660. After taking part in the purchase of Rye, he returned to Long Island, where the Connecticut government appointed him magistrate. He had five sons : John, Robert, Jonathan, Samuel, and David. (History of Stamford, p. 29.)
II. 1. John,2 eldest son of John Coe,1 settled at first on the northwest end of Manussing Island, separated from the eastern part by . Coe's ditch,' still so called in 1693. In 1668. however, he sold his . house and housing and home-lot upon the north neck' of the island to Stephen Sherwood ; retaining a piece of salt meadow, which John and Jonathan sold in 1719 to Samuel Brown. He appears to have lived after this upon Grace Church Street, near the present Kirby Avenue. . Coe's land' was in the eastern part of the Town Field. He had a thirty-cight acre lot in Will's Purchase, which was numbered twenty-five. Johu Coe married Athelana or Ethalanor. Ile removed to Greenwich, and died there, in or before 1744. His ' eldest son and heir ' was Andrew.
2. Robert,2 second son of John Coe,1 went to Jamaica in 1656, and remained there.
3. Jonathan,2 third son of John Coe,1 was living in 1719. Ile had a son John.

5. David,2 fifth son, is not named in our records.
III. 1. Andrew,3 eldest son of John Coe,2 is mentioned in 1698. Andrew Coe who signed as witness in 1680, may have been a name- sake, temporarily here. Andrew3 was townsman in 1701 and 'sar- geant' in 1705. His house in 1699 was near Fox Island. After his father's death he sold the land in Will's Purchase to Abraham Miller and Samuel Lane. He probably removed from Rye about 1744.
2. John,3 son of Jonathan Coe,2 had a son Jonathan.
IV. Jonathan,4 son of John Coe,3 lived in Saw Pit, now Port Chester, and was known as 'Dr. Coe.' He married Esther Green, who died December 1, 1805. He died November 28, 1809. His children were : John, Reuben, Edward, Mary.

purchase and settlement of which he was the leading person. See page 9. He lived here until his decease, May 2, 1688, at the age of fifty- seven years. His house stood on 'The Plains,' in the neighborhood of the present rectory. He had a large landed estate in the town. Octo- ber 13, 1681, the General Court of Connecticut ' considering the great losse that hath befallen Peter Disbrow by fyer, doe remitt unto him his country rate for the year ensueing.' (Pub. Records of Conn., vol. iii. p. 89.) His wife was Sarah Knapp, daughter of Nicholas of Stamford. They had two sons, Peter and John ; and six daughters.
Mary, called ' the eldest,' married Joseph Lyon of Greenwich, and was living in 1735.
Lida or Leda [Lydia ?] married John Boyd, of Rye.
Martha, married Peter Brown, of Rye.
And two others, whose names are not known.
II. 1. Peter,2 eldest son of Peter Disbrow,1 inherited a considerable part of his father's estate in Rye. He died in or before 1722. IIe had a son Peter.
2. John,2 second son of Peter Disbrow,1 purchased lands of Richbell in Mamaroneck, in 1674 and 1785. (Bolton, vol. i. p. 310.) His house, erected in 1677, is yet to be seen. In 1720 he bought of John Boyd a farm of fifty acres 'at the upper end of the field,' now Mr. Greacen's. He had three sons, - Henry, Benjamin, and John ; and two daughters, - Sarah, and Anne.
III. 1. Peter,3 son of Peter Disbrow,2 styles himself ' bachelor' in 1714, and speaks of 'my unkle John Disbrow.' He had land on Brush Ridge.
2. Henry,3 eldest son of John Disbrow,2 was of Mamaroneck.
3. Benjamin.
4. John,3 son of John Disbrow,2 inherited a part of the farm his father had bought of John Boyd, and lived probably in the house which stood where Mr. Greacen's now stands. He married Sarah -, and died about 1751. They had a son John.
5. Sarah,3 daughter of John Disbrow,2 married Roger Park, junior. (See account of Park family.)
6. Anne,3 daughter of John Disbrow,? remained unmarried. She was living in 1763. In 1752 she sold to Roger Park, junior, for seven hundred pounds, one half of the tract of land, containing one hundred and twenty acres, 'which our brother the late John Disbrow bequeathed equally ' to her and to her sister Sarah, wife of Roger Park.

FROST. 1. John Frost, 'gentleman,' owned land in the eastern part of the Town Field. He is first mentioned in 1684; was townsman in 1697, and supervisor in 1703. He died in or before 1722. In 1718 he paid to Peter Disbrow one hundred and twenty pounds for fifty

acres, bounded on the north by the highway and field fence, 'in consid- eration also of the support of his son Abraham during his life, and Christian-like burial after death.' From the recurrence of the surname, we think it likely that John Frost was a son, and Abraham a grandson, of Abraham Frost, who, in 1657, was living 'aboute Stamford or Green- wich,' and presented a petition to the Court at New Haven, ' desiring som releife from them because he is very poore, haueing lost all by the Indians aboute a yeare and a halfe agoe, his wife and chilldren taken captives but after brought to this jurisdiction, where they have lived since in a poore and meane way.' The Court ordered that they should receive assistance. (Rec. of Col. of N. H., vol. ii. p. 216.)
2. Daniel Frost, of Oyster Bay, in 1744, bought thirty-five acres on Grace Church Street, near Byram harbor, which he sold some years after.
GALPIN. I. Philip Galpin was a resident of New Haven as early as 1646, and there married Elizabeth Smith. (N. H. Rec., vol. i. p. 259.) He was living at Fairfield in 1657. (Savage.) He came to this place before January 26, 1662, the date of the petition of the settlers of Hasting, to which his name is attached. See page 30, for an account of his difficulty with the other inhabitants in 1671. Galpin died in 1685. (Rye Records.) His second wife was Hannah -. Children : Samuel, Joseph, John, Benjamin, Moses, Jeremiah, Sarah, Deborah, Hannah.
' Other daughters' are referred to. One of his daughters married Richard Walters, another Robert Traves, and another Stephen Sher- wood.
The Philip Galpin, who, in 1690, went with the Expedition to Albany against the French, may have been another son. See page 48.
' Galpin's Cove,' on the west side of Blind Brook Creek, takes its name perhaps from this person.
II. 1. Samuel,2 son of Philip Galpin,1 was born in New Haven in 1650, and in 1685 was living in Stratford. (Conn. Rec., vol. iii. p. 186, note.) In 1692, he was one of the grand jurors imipanelled at Fair- field to try Mercy Disborough and others for witchcraft. (Conn. Rec., vol. iv. p. 76, note.)
2. Joseph,2 son of Philip Galpin,1 bought rights on Peningo Neck in 1685. In 1719, 1722, and 1724, he purchased land in Will's Purchase, where he already had a thirty-eight acre lot formerly his father's, mak- ing over one hundred and fifty acres. He is called ' wheel wright ' in 1722.
3. John,2 son of Philip Galpin,1 married Mary -. Ile was dead in 1738. He had land on Budd's Neck and in White Plains. 'Young John and the rest of his [John's 2] children,' are mentioned in Philip's will.
4. Benjamin,2 son of Philip Galpin,1 disappears from our records

after the settlement of his father's estate. He is probably the ' Benja- min Galpin' of Woodbury, Conn., who came to that place, with his wife Rebecca, about 1680, and died in 1731. He left three sons, Ben- · jamin, Joseph, and Samuel ; and six daughters. Some of Samuel's descendants still reside there. (Hist. of Ancient Woodbury, Conn., by Wm. Cothren, pp. 544, 545.)
5. Moses,2 son of Philip Galpin,1 was a 'weaver'in 1738, when he sold to Thomas Gilchrist, of Rye, his house and thirty-five acres on the country road near Daniel Purdy's land.
GARNSEY. Joseph Garnsey, native of Stamford (Hist. of Stamford, p. 53), was ' of Milford' in 1699, when he bought,of John Disbrow one half of a ' lotment ' in the Town Field, ' near the upper end.'
HART. I. Jonathan Hart, in 1685, bought land on the lower part of Budd's Neck, to which he added in 1702. He was chosen one of the townsmen of Rye in 1686. He was called 'senior' in 1702. He married Hannah, daughter of John Budd.2
II. Monmouth Hart, perhaps a son of the preceding, owned land on Horseneck, probably the same with Jonathan's. In 1712 he bought land at White Plains. In 1740, Monmouth, probably junior, bought Thomas Merritt's farm of ninety-three acres at White Plains. He lived on Rye Neck, and was called 'Captain Hart' in 1746.
James Hart, 1761-1772, owned land on Horseneck, the southeastern extremity of Budd's Neck. This land appears to have been that now owned by Mr. Brevoort, on Rye Neck.
HIAT, or HYAT. I. Caleb Iliat 1 was constable of Rye in 1678, and in the same year bought the house and proprietary rights of Joseph Purdy. He must therefore have joined the settlement some time before this, though not one of the original settlers. His house ' on the Plains' was situated near the spot where the new district school-house stands. He was an active member of the community, in whese trans- actions his name occurs frequently, and every year until 1686, perhaps the year of his death. He had a son Caleb, and probably John.
II. 1. Caleb 2 was of age in 1699, when made constable of Rye. He and John removed carly to the White Plains, and became identified with that settlement. In 1715, Caleb was one of the layers out of the White Plains purchase, and in 1721 was one of the patentees under the British crown. His house stood on North Street, nearly opposite the road lately closed, leading into Harrison, near ' Ridge Farm.' below the village of White Plains. His lands lay chiefly across the Mamar- oneck River, on ' Brown's Point' in the town of Harrison.
Caleb Ilyatt, 'son of Caleb Hyatt,' was appointed justice of the peace in 1722, and again in 1735. He was a prominent Presbyterian, and in 1727 was active in the effort to procure funds from Connecticut for the building of a church at White Plains, and another at Ryc. See account of his action in the matter, pp. 323, 327. He had three sons, apparently, Caleb, Nathan, and Elisha.
412
FAMILIES OF RYE.
2. John Hyatt,2 probably the son of Caleb,1 signs as witness in 1681. He owned land in the White Plains purchase as early as 1710, and in 1721 was living there, near Caleb. He was one of the petitioners in relation to the church in 1727. He had a son, 'John Hyat junior,' who owned property at Rye, in 1725.
III. 1. Caleb Ilyatt,3 son of Caleb,? was a resident of White Plains in 1752. Tradition states that he died about the time of the war. His name, with Nathan's, follows that of Caleb,2 in the petition of 1727.
2. Nathan,3 son of Caleb Hyatt,2 settled with his brother on Brown's Point, opposite White Plains. He was living in 1748.
3. Elisha,3 son of Caleb Hyatt,2 born April 24, 1714, died in 1760 .. He married Sarah Underhill, born March 9, 1715 ; and had two sons : Elisha, born August 24, 1751, and Nathanael, born December 31, 1756 ; and two daughters : Mary, born April 2, 1745, and Sarah, born July 13, 1754.
IV. Elisha,4 son of Elisha Hyatt,3 had a son, Nathanael, born in 1787, and two daughters, Matilda, and Mrs. Avery. They were living in the village of White Plains, in the spring of 1869. Mrs. Avery has since died, at the age of eighty-six.
Abraham and Thomas Hyatt were perhaps other sons of Caleb.1 Abraham, in 1702, had a house-lot given him at Rye, which he 'freely resigned.' Thomas was one of the patentees of lands near Rye Pond, in 1710.
HOYT, or HAIGHT. I. John Hoitt was living in Rye as early as 1678, on Apawamis, Budd's Neck, or Rye Neck - probably toward the southern end. He is said to have come to Rye in 1676 from East Chester, having removed to that place from Fairfield in 1665. He was not a ' Proprietor,' but appears to have bought land from one of the original settlers. He died about 1684, leaving his wife Mary, two daughters, Mary Browne, and Rachel Horton, and ' two youngest sons,' John and Simon. (Will, County Records, White Plains.)
II. John,2 son of John Hoitt,1 was a prominent person. He was town clerk of Rye in 1696, constable in 1702, supervisor in 1711, 1717, 1719, and justice of the peace in 1710, and was honored with the title, then rarely conferred, of MR. He was one of the proprietors of the White Plains purchase, and of Will's purchases, and patentee, in 1720, of Budd's Neck, with Joseph Budd and others. He owned land in the northern part of Budd's Neck. He died about' 1726. 'John Haight deceased' is mentioned 1728. Children : John, Samuel, Jonathan, Joseph.
III: 1, 2. John and Samuel Hoit were residents of the White Plains as early as 1721, and as late as 1730. Their houses appear on a map of the former date, situated about a mile above the bridge crossing Mamaroneck River. They were among the signers of the petition in 1727 for aid to build a Presbyterian church at White Plains, and one

at Rye. 'Mr. John Hoit and Mr. Robert Bloomer jun. were chosen at an orderly meeting of the Presbyterians of Rye and the White Plains to represent the case ' to the Governor and Council of Connecticut.
3. Jonathan,3 third son of John Hoit,2 in 1726 sold land on Brown's Point, near White Plains.
4. Joseph,3 fourth son of John Hoit,2 had a farm at the northern end of Budd's Neck, eighty-three acres of which he sold, in 1737, to the Rev. James Wetmore. He died about 1748, and left three sons : Henry, Cornelius, and Joseph. He bought - after selling his farm - the house near the Episcopal Church, now Mr. David Kirby's tenement house.
This family is to be distinguished from that of the Haights of Har- rison, though the name was occasionally written in the same way. The latter family is descended from Samuel Haight, of Flushing, son of Nicholas, of Windsor, supposed by Mr. D. W. Hoyt to have been an elder brother of John Hoit,1 of Rye. Samuel Haight was one of the purchasers of Harrison, in 1695, and his sons settled in Harrison early in the last century.
HOPPING. Nicholas, mentioned 1683, in 1688 bought John Galpin's land on Budd's Neck, between the country road and the harbor. 'He sold it in 1728.
HORTON. I. Joseph Horton, eldest son of Barnabas, of Southold, L. I. (Indexes of Southold), was at Southold in 1662. Ile came to Rye, doubtless, at the invitation of John Budd, whose daughter Jane he had married. (Abigail, daughter of Jeremiah Vail, is mentioned in the ' Indexes' as ' probably ' his wife ; perhaps she was a second wife.) In 1669, Budd confirmed him in the possession of his . lot.' He was chosen selectman of Rye in 1671, and was commissioner or justice of the peace in 1678. ' Lieutenant Horton ' seems, indeed, to have been thought equal to every duty. In 1670, he is one of three chosen to procure a minister. The General Court authorizes him ' to grant war- rants and to marry persons.' He is the chief officer of the train - band. In 1699, the town permits him to keep a place of public enter- tainment. In 1695, he is one of the vestrymen. With all these digni- ties he also filled the important office of miller, in which occupation several of his descendants succeeded him. Mr. Horton had four sons, - Joseph, John, Samuel, and David. The last three are mentioned in a deed of 'John Horton, son of Captain John Horton, deceased,' who resigns to them in 1707, all title to the share in White Plains purchase ' which was my honoured grandfather's, Captain Joseph Horton -de- ceased.' He had also a daughter, who married Roger Park.
II. 1. Joseph,2 son of Joseph Horton 1 (who styles himself . senior ' in 1684), was old enough to own land ('Joseph Horton junior's lot') in 1673. Another ' junior,' in 1723, was doubtless his son.
2. John,2 son of Joseph Horton,1 had, in 1682, a grant from John

Budd, his grandfather, of land between Mamaroneck River and Stony Brook. He and his descendants appear to have lived on the lower part of Budd's Neck. He died in 1707. Children : John, Joseph, Jonathan, Benjamin ; Hannah, who married Thomas Robinson; and perhaps others.
3. Samuel,2 son of Joseph Horton,1 signs as witness in 1688. He, with his brother David, removed to the White Plains. Their land, in 1727, lay west of ' the [Presbyterian ] meeting-house.'
4. David,2 son of Joseph Horton,1 signs as witness in 1697. Accord- ing to Mr. Bolton, David, of White Plains, had four sons: Joseph, Thomas, John, Daniel.
HI. 1. Joseph,3 son of Joseph Horton,2 called 'junior' in 1723, was of Rye in 1722. He had a son called ' junior' in 1750.
2. John,3 son of Captain John Horton,2 lived on Budd's Neck, in Rye, at or near the mill known as Guion's. He was one of Isaac Den- ham's executors in 1724. In 1737 he relinquishes his right to land in White Plains received from ' his uncle Samuel.' In 1740, he had an 'eldest son John, junior.'
3. Joseph,3 son of Captain John Horton, was of Rye, in 1722. In 1715 he bought from his brother Jonathan a 'great lot' of sixty acres at White Plains, which he sold in 1722. There was a Joseph junior in 1750.
4. Jonathan,3 son of Captain John Horton,2 styled ' cordwainer' in 1734, lived on Budd's Neck, where, in 1760, he sold to James Gidney one hundred and thirty-nine acres near Mamaroneck Bridge. He died a year or two after, leaving sons Jonathan and James.
5. Joseph,3 son of David Horton,2 was of White Plains, in 1732.
6. John,3 son of David Horton,2 is probably the person whose mill, upon Horton's Pond, is frequently referred to from 1747 to 1769.
7. Daniel,3 son of David Horton,2 according to Mr. Bolton, had seven children.
(1.) Stephen, of White Plains, who left David of Yonkers, and Ben- jamin. (2.) Daniel. (3.) Samuel. (4.) George W. of City Island. (5.) Elijah C. (6.) Anne, who married Samuel Crawford of White Plains. (7.) Margaret.
IV. 1. James,4 ' late of Mamaroneck, son of Jonathan,' married Sarah Hunt, daughter of Caleb, deceased, twenty-third of tenth month, 1760. (Friends' Rec.)
2. Joseph,4 probably son of Joseph Horton,3 of Rye, called junior in 1750, sold in 1746 to John Guion for three hundred and fifteen pounds, ' my farm and lands where I now dwell on Budd's neck,' lying south of Peter Jay's land, and comprising fifty acres, on both sides of the road.
3. John,4 'eldest son of John Horton,' 3 in 1740, relinquishes his interest in certain lands in White Plains.

HUDSON. - JACKSON. - JEFFERIES.
Others of this name I cannot with certainty affiliate. Caleb Hor- ton, of White Plains, mentioned in 1725 and 1740; Elisha Horton, of Brown's Point or Harrison's Purchase, in 1748-1751 ; William Horton, of Brown's Point, 1740-1761, were probably descendants of Samuel and David Horton,2 of White Plains. James Horton, Esq., of Budd's Neck, 1750-1764, father of James Horton, junior, of Mamaroneck, 1770, was probably descended from John Horton,2 of Budd's Neck. So too Daniel Horton, apparently a brother of James, senior, who was of Budd's Neck in 1760, and Elijah and Gill Budd Horton, perhaps brothers.
