mentioned 1750. The former in 1760 had land on Budd's Neck. John is mentioned 1794.
BARNES. Joshua, mentioned 1730, John, 1731, Richard, 1744, and Samuel, 1746, were brothers, according to the family tradition. They were perhaps sons of William, mentioned 1720. James, son of Rich- ard, married Ruth, daughter of Benjamin Clapp, of North Castle, sev- enteenth of fifth month, 1769. Samuel had three sons, Stephen, Joshua, and Richard ; and three daughters : Jerusha, married Edward Under- hill, of Phillipsburgh, fifteenth of first month, 1772; Charity, married James Underhill, of Phillipsburg, thirtieth of ninth month, 1778; Deb- orah, married William Clapp, of Oswego, Dutchess County, fifteenth of third month, 1780.

David H. Barnes has had one son, Robert, and two daughters : Hannah, married D. W. Smith, and Anne, married H. B. Hallock.
BARREL, Gideon, blacksmith, of Rye, in 1738 bought Peter Brown's house and seven acres, which he sold soon after to Raphael Jacobs. Perhaps the same name with Burrell.

BESLY, Oliver, mentioned 1722.
BLOODGOOD, Joseph, was of the Purchase in 1759; wife, Sarah. His daughter Mary married Henry Matthews, seventeenth of first month, 1759. (Friends' Rec.)
BLAKEMAN, Or BLACKMAN, Samuel, in 1718, was one of the inhab- itants of Rye (now North Castle) who remonstrated against the attempt of the constable of Horseneck to collect the minister's tax.
BIRD. The tradition is that the ancestor of this family came from Germany, but died on the voyage, leaving four children, whom the captain, on arriving in New York, sold into servitude, - not an uncom- mon proceeding in those days. One of these children, Henry Vogel, was bought by an inhabitant of Rye, and grew up and settled here. Ile took the Anglicized name of Bird ; but some members of the family are said to have still used the German name, in preference, among
themselves. Henry married Kniffen, and had four sons : Henry, Thomas, James, and William. He lived upon the site of the cottage belonging to Mr. James II. Titus, south of his residence on Grace Church Street. Ile acquired a considerable tract of land, extending northward from the place now Mr. Frederick Cornell's ; which was known as 'Bird's land,' as late as 1820. He was drowned while on a fishing cruise near Newport.

FAMILIES OF RYE.
Henry Bird,2 son of Henry,1 had no children. In 1771 he sold his house and twenty acres near the landing on Grace Church Street, to John Anderson. He died in 1792.
Thomas 2 was the father of James Bird, of Manhassett, and others. William 2 died young.
James 2 lived in the homestead on Grace Church Street. He died in 1832. He had six sons : Andrew, Adolphus, Alexander, William, James, and Thomas ; and one daughter, Leah. James is living in Harrison. Thomas was for many years captain of a sloop running between Saw Pit or Port Chester and New York. He died in Brook- lyn, December 5, 1870, aged sixty-eight.
Leah, daughter of James,2 married David Kirby, of Rye, and had six sons : Joseph, Andrew, William B., James B., David, and Thomas D .; and four daughters : Maria, married John T. Noye, of Buffalo ; Rosetta A., married Cornelius Curtis ; Cornelia J., married Thomas Brownell ; and Gulielma. Mrs. Kirby died January 8, 1871.
BIRDSALL. Benjamin Birdsall was here in 1725, and probably be- fore. He was a namesake and doubtless a descendant of Benjamin, one of the early inhabitants of Hempstead, who came from England in 1657, and who was also the ancestor of Captain Benjamin Birdsall, a heroic officer of the Revolution. (Thompson's L. I., vol. ii. pp. 492- 494.) In 1737-1739-1745, he sold one hundred and seventy-five aeres to Henry Strang and others. Nathan Birdsall was here in 1728; Isaac Birdsall, 1744-1759.
BISHOP. The estate of Thomas Bishopp, at Rye, was administered in or before 1707. (N. Y. Col. MSS., vol. lii. p. 41.)

BURNS. Alexander, witness in 1730-1741-1748. Alexander and Mary, in 1739.
BURRELL, Joseph, lived on Rye Neek in 1776, when he was con- cerned in the plan (see page 226) to spike the American guns near King's Bridge. (Journals of the Prov. Congress, ete., vol. i. p. 280.)
BURCHUM, Benjamin. His land in 1723 lay south of Rye Ponds.
BUSII. The family were from Holland. I. 'Justus Bush, merchant, of the city of New York,' in 1726 bought from John and Jonathan Brondig an eighteenth share of undivided lands in Peningo Neck Pur- chase, at the very low price of eight pounds. In 1732 he owned land apparently including a part of that lately Dr. Tuttle's. The old stone house begun by Justus shortly before his death, and finished by Anne his wife, remained unaltered until 1832, when it was renovated. Hc appears to have been at one time a resident of Greenwich, where his name occurs in 1733, as plaintiff in an action. (Records Fairfield Co.,

1702-1735.) He died about the year 1737, leaving a widow, Anne, who died August 5, 1745, and three sons, Henry, Bernardus, and Abraham.
II. 1. Henry Bush,2 son of Justus,1 was of Greenwich in 1745, when he and Bernardus released to Abraham part of their rights in their father's estate. Many of his descendants, says Mr. Mead, live in Green- wich.
2. Bernardus Bush,2 son of Justus.1
3. Abraham Bush,2 'youngest son ' of Justus,1 born 1720, had the homestead near Saw Pit Landing. (See page 268.) He married Ruth, daughter of Gilbert Lyon. He had two sons, Abraham and Gil- bert, and five daughters.
III. 1. Abraham Bush,3 son of Abraham,2 born 1751. (See page 161.) He had one son, William, of King Street, and two daughters.

2. Mary E., daughter of Gilbert Bush, married Gershom Bulkley. Children : Charles S. ; Helen B., married Willson D. Slawson ; and Gil- bert B.
Bartholomew Bush is mentioned in 1726, and John in 1745.
CARLE, Thomas, of Rye, carpenter, in 1731 sold to Stephen Law- rence of Flushing four hundred acres in Harrison on Mamaroneck River, which Lawrence in 1738 conveyed to Joseph Haight.
CAREY, or CASEY, Henry, was of Rye in 1771.
CARHARTT. Joseph is mentioned in 1719, and in 1727 with Ann, probably his wife. John, 1722-1750, appears to have been in constant requisition as a witness of deeds. Till 1737 he lived near the church, apparently in the house now Mr. Joseph Kirby's tenement house, which he held . on the right of George Lane.' This he sold, with two acres of land, to the Rev. James Wetmore. John was clerk of the Vestry for many years. In 1745 he signs with Jane, probably his wife.
John Carhartt, junior, mentioned 1750, was doubtless the son of the above named. He was living in 1763. Thomas, 1737-1747 ; Jonathan, 1737, and Matthew, 1747-1749, may have been other sons.
John, Joseph, and Andrew Carhartt were living in Rye in 1771.
Ilachaliah Carhartt, said to have been an officer in the British ser- vice, was one of the company of De Lancey's Refugees who captured Judge Thomas at his residence in Harrison, in 1777. (See page 252.) He died about the year 1834.
One of this name, a blacksmith, had a shop on the land now Mr. James Weeks', about the time of the Revolution.
CARPENTER, Joseph, was here in 1718 (Brander's Book), Tini-

othy in 1720, Silles (Silas ?) in 1721 (Ibid.). Our records also mention Benjamin, 1749, and Isaac, 1754. Isaac had a daughter, Hannah, who married Stephen Barnes, of Harrison, twentieth of twelfth month, 1780. (Friends' Rec.)
I. 1. Thomas, called 'jr. of Rye,' in 1739, and ' late of the isl. of Nassau, now of Rye,' in 1742, bought, between 1739 and 1743, Samuel Field's farm of one hundred and ten acres, south of Judge Thomas's ; and John Fowler's farm, of one hundred and thirty-one acres, with other land in the lower part of Harrison. (Rec., C. pp. 124, 149, 150.) He had a son Joseph, and two daughters, one of whom, Hannah, mar- ried Solomon Haviland, son of Benjamin, seventeenth of ninth month, 1742. (Friends' Rec.)
2. John, 'of Oyster Bay,' in 1739, was perhaps, like Thomas, a son of Thomas, senior. He bought Little Neck, seventy acres, a part of Budd's Neck, from John Budd. He was still 'of Oyster Bay,' in 1751, when he conveyed this land to his son John 'of Rye, hatter.' (Rec.) We have no further knowledge of this branch.
John, perhaps the above, had a son Abraham, of North Castle, who married Lydia, daughter of Peter Totten, twentieth of ninth month, 1759. (Friends' Rec.)
II. Joseph,2 son of Thomas,1 married Mary, daughter of Jolin Clapp, of Greenwich, Conn., fourteenth of twelfth month, 1768. (Friends' Rec.) He lived in Harrison, where Mr. Joseph Park now lives, and owned three farms now comprised in Mr. Park's estate. Sons : John, William. Thomas, Charles, Joseph ; daughters : Phoebe, married James Field; Dorcas, married William Cornell ; Martha, married John Schureman ; Mary, married John Sands ; Sarah.
III. 1. John,3 son of Joseph,2 married Elizabeth Field. His farm lay north of Mr. Warren Leland's. Children : Uriah, Aaron, Joseph, Mary ; Phoebe, married Silas Sutton.
2. William,3 son of Joseph,2 born July 7, 1772, died September 26, 1847. He married Abby Jane, daughter of Ezekiel Halsted, born March 29, 1772, died March 31, 1834. He owned at one time the farm north of Mr. Park's, and moved in 1810 to the place now Mr. Leland's. Sons : Philemon H., Allen P., Thomas W .; daughters : Elizabeth J., born December 27, 1803, married Joseph Bartram ; Mar- tha S., born July 30, 1812, married John H. Purdy, died June 27, 1850.
3. Thomas,8 son of Joseph,2 married, first, Mary -, and had one son, Richard, now living on the farm formerly his father's, in Green- wich, Conn. Second wife, Eliza Keeler.
4. Charles,3 son of Joseph,2 married Phoebe Cromwell. He owned the farm now Mr. Griswold's, in Harrison. Children : Alfred, Edward, James, Elizabeth (died young) ; Sarah Ann, married William Haviland ; Phoebe, married David Haviland.

5. Joseph,3 son of Joseph,2 married Eliza Taber. He owned one of the farms now Mr. Park's. Children : Harriet, married Joseph Park : Mary, Arthur.
Daniel Carpenter, perhaps of the same family, born about 1750, married Sarah Merritt. At the outbreak of the Revolution he was liv- ing on Peck's land, Greenwich, Conn. He went to Long Island during the war, after which he lived where Mr. James Weeks now lives, in Rye, and from there moved to a farm on Grace Church Street, extend- ing to Fox Island. He died about 1830. Children : Gilbert, Daniel ; Hannah, married Francis Secor of Harrison ; Rhoda, Maria, Thorn, Jacob, Peter, Zeno, Merritt, Sylvanus, Elizabeth.
Gilbert, eldest son of Daniel, born November 10, 1772, married Eliz- abeth, daughter of Isaac Gedney, born November 30, 1769, died No- vember 14, 1844. He died July 2, 1820. Sons : Elisha, William ; daughters : Ann, Sarah, Mary, Charity, Charlotte, Penelope. Elisha (my informant, now living in Harrison) married Sarah L. Deall.
Daniel, son of Daniel, had several children : William, Thorn, Phœbe, Ezra, Eliakim, and -, married Elijah P. Morrill.
CAVALAER. 'The estate of Peter Cavalaer of Long Island, de- ceased,' is mentioned in 1771. The land thus referred to lay south of the road leading from Grace Church Street to the landing, or Rye Ferry. (See page 134.) ' Chavalier Rock,' so called in 1804, - Cava- lier's in 1829, - and still known to old inhabitants at the present day, was evidently named from this person, of whom we have no other trace. This rock stands by the water's edge, below Horse Rock, near the late steamboat landing.
CHATTERTON. Michael, 'of the manor of Philipsboro,' in 1752, bought sixty-six acres of land . on Brown's pint near the White Plains.' ¿. e. in Harrison. Chatterton Hill, famous in connection with the bat- tle of the White Plains, but situated. not in that town, but across the Bronx in Greenburg, formerly Phillipsburg manor, undoubtedly took its name from this family, a member of which, says Mr. Bolton, was settled on the hill as early as 1731. (Ilist. of Westchester Co., vol. i. p. 242.) 'Bets' Chatterton, 1756-1767, and Shadrach, 1757-1758, were of Brown's Point.
CHEESEMAN, Samuel, of Oyster Bay, in 1720 bought of Abraham Miller a 'great lot' of eighty acres, being one fifth part of the tract known as Brown's Point, in Harrison. In 1739 this lot had . formerly belonged to Ann Cheeseman.'
CLAPP. I. Captain John Clapp claimed to be . of ye town of Rye' as early as 1705, when with Joseph Theall and John Horton he bought from the Indians land now in North Castle, above Rye Pond, and west of Byram River. (Co. Rec., E. p. 1.) 'The Humble Petition of John Clapp John Horton Thomas Hyat & Company Inhabitants & Residents of the Town of Rye' to Governor Cornbury, shows that the petitioners,

FAMILIES OF RYE.
' being Inhabitants of ye Town of Rye have by your Excellency's License to Purchase land in West-Chester County, and according to the Customes of sa Town made purchase of a certain tract,' lying between Byram River and Rye Ponds, for which they desire a patent. This petition was read and a warrant ordered September 27, 1705. (Land Papers, Secretary of State's Office, vol. iv. p. 61.) ' Ye house of John Clap' on King Street, was mentioned in 1723, when the road from that street across Harrison to the White Plains was opened. Here doubtless he was living in 1718 (see page 120), when the constable of Greenwich coming to demand the 'rates due to the minister of Horse- neck,' he ' shut to the doors, and told me,' says that official, 'if I came in, he would knock me in the head.' (N. Y. Col. MSS., vol. Ixi. p. 17.) This pugnacity, while it comports with his military rank, seems less in harmony with his profession as ' a reputed Quaker,' for so he designates himself in his ' solemn affirmation,' to a counter statement in the same case. (Ibid. p. 14.) He was alive in 1725. His sons, according to the pedigree given by Mr. Bolton, were John, Silas, Elias, and Gibson.
II. 1. John Clapp,2 son of John,1 is mentioned in 1748, when he owned land on both sides of the road to the Friends' meeting-house. Children : Thomas ; Dorcas, who married, first, William Sutton, second, Francis Nash ; Mary, who married Joseph Carpenter.
2. Silas Clapp,2 son of John,1 was ' of Rhode Island.' (Bolton.)
3. Elias 2 had two sons, John and Benjamin. John, son of Elias, married Phobe, daughter of John Hallock, April 17, 1765. (Friends' Rec.)
John Clapp's house, as we have seen (p. 248), is a building of historic interest. It stands near the corner of King Street and the road to the meeting-house.
CLEATOR, Joseph. See page 174.
COLE, Samuel, mentioned 1719.
CooN, Jacob, weaver, had land in White Plains, 1748.
CORNELL, Richard, of Cow Neck, in 1724 sold to Benoni Merritt, of Rye, two hundred acres in Fauconier's patent. From the very exten- sive pedigree of this family which Mr. Bolton gives, it appears that he was the son of John, of Cow Neck, fourth son of Richard, who emi- grated from England to Long Island about 1655, and bought Little Neck under the Dutch government. The grandson Richard removed from Cow Neck to Westchester in 1725, and in 1733 complained, with Silvanus Palmer, to the governor, of injustice done to them by the sheriff of Westchester in refusing their vote at an election because they were Quakers. (Doc. Hist. of N. Y., vol. iii. p. 1008.) Joseph, of Mamaroneck, son of Richard, married Phoebe Ferris, daughter of Peter Ferris, twentieth of fourth month, 1734. (Friends' Rec.)
CORNWALL. Daniel, was of Brown's Point or Harrison's Purchase as early as 1738. In 1749 he sold his house and one hundred and

thirty acres, near Horton's Pond and Mamaroneck River. He married Mary -. Jacob, mentioned 1715, of White Plains in 1741, had land in the same locality. Samuel, 1732. The name is written as often Cornell, but I find no Daniel of this period among the many de- scendants of Richard above mentioned.
COVERTT, Isaac, before 1722 had land in Will's Purchase, which he sold ; and in 1725-1733 he had land in White Plains.
CRAMPTON, Samuel, weaver, in 1742 sold his homestead on King Street, opposite Samuel Wilson's.
CRAWFORD, Jolin, in 1760 had land on Budd's Neck.
CROMWELL. 'The several branches of the Cromwell family in Amer- ica claim descent from the same parent stock as that of the Protector, Oliver Cromwell. It is presumed that the ancestor of the American line was Colonel John Cromwell, third son of Robert Cromwell, and a brother of the Protector.' (Bolton, Hist. of Westchester Co., vol. ii. p. 512, app. The following pedigree is based partly upon the account given by Mr. Bolton.)
I. John Cromwell,1 son of Colonel' John, emigrated from Holland to New Netherland. He resided, in 1686, at Long Neck, Westchester, afterwards known as Cromwell's Neck. He married Mary -, and left two sons, John and James.
II. 1. John Cromwell,2 son of John,1 of Westchester, was the ances- tor of Oliver and Jeremiah of West Farms. (Bolton, ibid. ; also vol. i. p. 254.)
2. James,2 second son of John,1 of Westchester, was born in 1696, and married Esther Godfrey. IIe died in 1780. Children : John, James, William. In 1748, James ' Crumwell of Greenwich,' bought of Thomas Weeden's widow his plantation in Harrison's Purchase, - one tract lying 'northward of frind's meeting house, and north of the road,' and bounded on the west by Thomas Tredwell's land, on the north by ' Clapp's land,' on the east and south by the road. Another tract lay on the south side of the road, and was bounded east by John Clapp's land, south by Anthony Field's and the meeting-house lot, west and north by the road. (Rye Records.)
III. 1. John Cromwell,3 of Harrison, eldest son of James,2 born De- cember 5, 1727, married Anna Hopkins of Long Island, born Jannary 12, 1730. He was an active patriot during the Revolution : see men- tion of him, ante, pp. 251-257. His house is yet standing, a short dis- tance above the Friends' meeting-house in the Purchase, and near to Rye Pond. Here the 'advance guard' of a force of Continental troops stationed on King Street, was said by a tory paper of New York, Feb- ruary 14, 1780, to be occupying ' the house of John Crom [i. e .. Crom- well] near the Quaker meeting-house in Harrison's Purchase.' (Gaine's Gazette.) Mr. Cromwell's name occurs in 1777 among the names of teamsters who presented to the New York Committee of Safety their

accounts for service in removing forage and transporting well-affected inhabitants to the interior. (Journals of Provincial Congress, vol. i. p. 955.) He suffered severely from the maltreatment of the British troops and their allies the Cow Boys, for his well-known attachment to the American cause. Once, it is said, a party of Cow Boys entered his house, and demanded that he should tell them where he kept his money concealed. Upon Mr. Cromwell's refusal, they seized him, and heating a shovel red-hot in the kitchen fire, applied it to his naked person. Mr. Cromwell lived to relate various incidents of his expe- rience during the war, with much satisfaction, in a good old age. He died in 1805, aged seventy-eight. Children : James, Daniel, John, Joseph, William ; Naomi, born May 4, 1757, married Rev. - Hal- sted ; Esther, born January 1, 1760, married John Griffin, junior, of North Castle, twenty-second of tenth month, 1777 (Friends' Rec., Purchase) ; Hannah, born May 20, 1762, married William Field of Cortland's Manor, son of Benjamin, fifteenth of fifth month, 1782.
