Neither of these French schoolmasters left descendants. One bequeathed his little property to the church at New Paltz; the other much of his considerable estate to the church at Kingston.
From 1696 to 1700 the children in the little community were taught by Jean Tebenin, as is shown by the certificate, in French, among the papers that have come down in the family of Isaac DuBois the Patentee, which is as follows :
Nous Ministers & Anciens de L'Eglise françoise aux palls de la province del la Nole York dans L'Amerique, certifions que le Sr. Jean Tebenin ayant demeure avec nous pendant l'espace de quatre ans pour maistre d'escole & pour L'Instruc- tion de nos enfans, a toujours fait le devoir d' un bon &

We, minister and elders, of the French church at the Paltz of the province of New York in America, certify that Mr. Jean Tebenin having lived with us during the space of four years for schoolmaster and for the instruction of our chil- dren, has always done the duty of a good and true Chris- tian, frequented our holy assemblies and partaken of the sacrament of the Lord's supper-therefore we recommend him.

Jean Tebenin may have again taught the school at a later date. We have no evidence on this point. He cer- tainly lived at New Paltz at a much later date. In his will, dated in 1730, and preserved in the Patentees' trunk, he gives his property to the church at New Paltz, with the special request that if the French language should cease to

be used his copy of the Bible be sold and the proceeds given to the poor.
As the Huguenots at that time had no religious schools or seminaries, either in France or America, the poor old schoolmaster's apprehension was sure to be realized. When the old French ministers were dead there was none edu- cated in the French tongue to stand in their stead.
We have no further information concerning Jean Tebenin except that he was godfather at one or two baptisms of children at New Paltz.
The other French schoolmaster at New Paltz was Jean Cottin. He was a prominent man in the community, and lived many years at New Paltz. Afterwards he moved to Kingston, married the widow of Louis DuBois the Patentee and for many years carried on the mercantile business.
Jean Cottin's name appears on the church records at New Paltz in 1690 as godfather at the baptism of Hendricus, son of Pierre Deyo. He was the schoolmaster as early as 1689. For about ten years after this date he resided at New Paltz.
In 1701, Jean Cottin sold a house and lot in this village to Hugo Freer, the deed, in French, being still among the Freer papers. This was certainly the house and lot which the New Paltz people had given him, the deed of gift being turned over to the purchaser and still preserved among his papers.
We have no record showing the date of the marriage of Jean Cottin and Catharine ,widow of Louis DuBois the Patentee. The first record we have bearing on this point is in 1703, when at the baptism of a negro slave girl in the church at Kingston she promises to serve her mistress, Catharine, and her master, Jean Cottin, faithfully as long as they live and she shall then be free. 11

HISTORY OF NEW PALTZ
The widow of Louis DuBois the Patentee was a rich woman for those days. In his will Louis had performed the very unusual act of bestowing on her the full half of the property, in case she should marry again. Louis had moved from New Paltz to Kingston in 1686, and died there ten years later. Mrs. DuBois' father, Matthew Blanshan, was a very rich man. Probably much of the property in the family had come from him.
Be that as it may, Jean Cottin sold his house and lot at New Paltz, moved to Kingston, married the widow of Louis DuBois and engaged in the mercantile business, which he carried on for about twenty years. Among the Freer papers are a number with his signature. One is written in Eng- lish, with a delightful French brogue. In a letter still pre- served among these old papers Mr. Cottin duns the recip- ient in a very polite manner, saying : "You pay others; me you neglect."
When Jean Cottin died, about 1723, he left his property, including his account books, which were in the French lan- guage, to the church at Kingston. These account books are still in the chest containing the papers of the Kingston church.
HOUSES BUILT BY THE PATENTEES
The first settlers all undoubtedly lived on what is now called Huguenot street in this village. About thirty years. after the first settlement, the log houses of the pioneers began to be superseded by the stone houses which have. come down to the present day.
Commencing on the south end of the street, on the west,. Jean Hasbrouck lived on the site, now the Memorial House .. This house bears the date of 1712, and there is not the.

shadow of a doubt that it came straight down from Jean to his son, Jacob, then to his son, Jacob, Jr., then to his son, Colonel Josiah, then to his son, Levi, from whom it passed to his son, Josiah, after whose death it was sold with his other real estate and became the property of Jesse Eltinge.
The house across the street now owned and occupied by Abm. D. Brodhead and previously by his grandfather, Sheriff Abm. A. Deyo, Jr., has come straight down from one Abm. Deyo to another from the time of the first Abm., grandson of Christian, the patentee.
In this house Senator Jacob Hardenburgh was born, his father, Richard Hardenburgh, renting the farm at this time, while its owner, Judge Abm. A. Deyo, resided at Modena.
The house now owned and occupied by Mrs. Mary Du- Bois Berry's heirs has come as straight down in the family as either the Hasbrouck or Deyo houses mentioned. This house still bears, in large iron figures, the date of its erection, 1705, and on the eastern wall, fronting on the street, may be seen the port holes once closed with brick-which, in the ancient times, had been provided as precautions, un- needed, however, against the attacks of the savages.
Across the street, with its gable-end to the road, stands the original Bevier house, which, however, passed into the possession of the Eltings considerably over 100 years ago. This was the Elting store for a considerable time before the Revolutionary war, and between this establishment and the Hasbrouck store, in the house first described, the sharpest kind of rivalry existed. In the chimney of this house, until recently, the date, 1735, was to be seen. But the house was evidently built at three different times, and the portion with the chimney and date quite certainly was built last.
Passing on still further to the north, the next house, now
30
HISTORY OF NEW PALTZ
owned by Isaiah Hasbrouck, has come straight down from Abm. Hasbrouck, the patentee. We have traced its own- ership to the widow of Daniel, son of Abm., the patentee.
The house of Simon LeFever, the patentee, stood on the north end of the present church yard. It passed from the possession of Simon to his son, Andries, then to his son, Simon, then to his son, Andries, usually called Flagus, who died about 1811, and left no son. This house was torn down when the present brick church was built, and the stone went into the foundation of the church edifice.
We have now come to the last stone house on this street. This was the Freer house, but the Freers moved out of the village 160 years ago, and about 100 years ago this house was occupied for a long time by the Lows.
We have now stated where each of the patentees lived except Abram and Isaac DuBois, who, being young, doubt- less lived with their father, while Andre LeFevre, having no wife, did not need a house. Anthony Crispell, as we have stated, never lived at New Paltz, but his daughter, who married Elias Ean, located, about 1712, some four miles north of this village, on the homestead where their descendants still reside.
Simon LeFevre died young and his widow married Moses Cantain, who occupied the homestead at New Paltz until the LeFevre boys were grown, and then removed to Ponck- hockie. The last survivor of the patentees was Abm. Du- Bois, and his grave in the old church-yard in our village is the only one of those of pioneers that is marked by a stone. It is a large flat stone, picked up in the field, and marked " 1731, Oct. 7, A. D. Bois, S V .R viver of 12 Patentees."
Pierre Deyo, son of Pierre, the patentee, met a sad and
3I

tragic fate; going alone to search a direct route eastward to the Hudson river, he never returned. Long afterward the buckle of a truss that he had worn was found at the foot of a tree. He may have died from sudden illness, or from the arrow of an Indian.
DRESSMAKING IN THE OLD DAYS
Among the papers in the Freer collection is one in good French, showing that at so early a date as 1699 the New Paltz people were sufficiently advanced in the refinements of life to have regularly taught dressmakers. A translation is as follows:
This day, the twenty-seventh of October, 1699, Sara Frere, daughter of the late Hugues Frere, an inhabitant of the Paltz, has by the advice of Hugues Frere, her brother, as her guardian, promised to bind herself to serve in the capacity of dress maker's apprentice, during the space of three years, to commence the first of December next, to Mr. David de Bonrepos or to Blanche du Bois, his daughter- in-law, dress maker, and to obey them in all things that are reasonable and proper; and that the said David de Bon- repos and Blanche du Bois promise also and bind them- selves to feed her, board her, and educate her in the fear. of the Lord, and to furnish her with whatever shall be necessary, having regard to her habits and manner of bring- ing up, during the space of three years, and above all, to teach her the trade of dress making, and at the end of the said three years, to give to her the same number of clothes, both dresses and underclothes, as she will bring with her on entering the house of the said David de Bonrepos or Blanche du Bois, and to teach her to read and write, in so

THE FIRST SALES OF LAND
One of the first sales of land of which we have any record was by Anthony Crispell to Louis Bevier of a lot in New Paltz, in 1699.
Crispell, it must be remembered, never moved to New Paltz, but continued to reside in Hurley. The following is the record in French in the county clerk's office at Kingston :

The following is a translation :
Personally appeared Anthony Crespel a laborer living at Hurly County of Ulster who declares and confesses to have sold, ceded, released, conveyed, and by these presents, sells, releases and conveys to Louis Bevier, laborer living at New Palle, a certain piece of land in a thicket adjoining the said village of Palle making one of the twelve parts according to the partition by the proprietors of said Palle. This said part is bounded by the pasture of Abraham DuBois and by Louis BeVier on one side at the south it bounds on the Washmaker's land and on the other side at the north on the heirs of Simon Leffebre. And I, the said Crespel, promise to have the said Bevier enjoy and hold thereof without trouble and hindrance; and said sale has been made upon payment of the sum of 140 schepels of wheat which I the said Crespel have received to my satisfaction and absolve thereof the said Bevier and all others.
In testimony whereof I have signed this.

HISTORY OF NEW PALTZ
Another sale of land at a still earlier date was from An- thony Crispel, the Patentee, to Hugo Freer, son of the Patentee, of a pasture at New Paltz. The original deed in French is among the papers of the Freer Collection.
A translation is as follows :
I, the undersigned, Anthoine Crispel, laborer, dwelling at Harley (Hurley), acknowledge that I have sold, conveyed, transferred and delivered to Hugue Frere Junior, dwelling at the Paltz, a pasture, with all my pretentions thereto, as it lies and extends, situated in the tract of the Paltz, adjoin- ing the pastures of the late Simon le Febvre, and in con- sideration of fifty bushels of wheat (Ms. effaced) as follows: Twenty-five bushels of wheat and twenty-five bushels of flax, at the current price, to be paid in four con- secutive years, as follows: twelve and a half bushels each year; and I promise to assure and guarantee the said Hugue Frere, Junior, him and his, forever and in perpetuity (in his possession).

CHAPTER III
THE FRENCH RECORDS OF THE NEW PALTZ CHURCH
The French records of the church are in a small book containing seventeen pages, about 6 x 8 inches, which has always been in the care of the pastor of the church. The paper is of coarse quality and somewhat yellow with age, but the writing is perfectly legible. The following trans- lation of these records was made by the late Wm. E. Du- Bois, of Philadelphia, in 1846:
January 22, 1683. Mr. Pierre Daillie, minister of the Word of God, arrived at Paltz, and preached twice the Sun- day following, and proposed to the heads of the families to choose by a majority of the votes of the fathers of the fam- ilies an Elder and a Deacon, which they did, and chose Louis DuBois for Elder and Hugh Frere for Deacon to aid the minister in the management of the members of the church, meeting at Paltz, who were then confirmed to the said charge of Elder and Deacon. The present minute has been made to put in order the things which appertain to said church.
October 14, 1683. Baptised two children of Pierre Doyau and [one] named Peter, the other Mary. Abraham Rutan, Godfather, and Mary Petilon, Godmother, to the first, of the other Abraham DuBois, Godfather, and Mar- garet Doioie (Doyau), Godmother.
