Charlton, Richard, teacher at Hemp- stead, L. I., (1672) 623
a Rev. Dr Thomas Bradbury Chandler (1726-90) was rector at Elizabethtown, N. J. 1751-90, except during the Revolution, when he was in England. He pub- lished (1767) "An Appeal in Behalf of the Church of England in America." This was answered by Rev. Dr Chauncey of Boston, which led to a rejoinder - " The Appeal Defended " (1771), and "The Appeal Further Defended." He was also the author of "A Life of Rev. Dr Samuel Johnson," first president of Kings College.

a This " additional charter" was never put on record. The original parchment copy is at the treasurer's office, 113 Fulton street, New York; but certain lines, where folds have been made, are becoming illegible. The writer made a copy, so far as readable, in 1910, and this is among his documents relating to the Col- legiate Church.
