The descendants of almost all of these Paltz Huguenot families have similar certificates still in their possession.
After coming to New York Louis Bevier remained with relatives until 1677, when he united with the other patentees in purchasing from the Indians the land for which they afterward obtained the Patent.
From the spring of 1678 he, with his fellow Patentees, remained here without any marked change for many years, and his children were born and reared in the faith of their parents, all of them being active in the maintenance of the

Protestant church, first in New Paltz and later in the several communities where they afterward settled.
-. In 1710, his wife being dead, Louis Bevier proceeded to London and procured his "Denization" papers qualifying him as an English citizen. He then went to France where, as tradition reports, he met with a rough reception, but, not- withstanding this, it is highly probable that his business was in part satisfactorily adjusted and that he recovered at least some of his property.
- Coming home again to New Paltz he bought lands in Wawarsing upon which his sons Jean and Abraham set- tled, and he likewise bought. the land at Marbletown upon which his son Louis settled in 1715.
.. Meanwhile his son Samuel occupied his lands at New Paltz, where he himself remained in his declining years, his other son, Andries, being in some manner disabled, re- mained with him, and his only living daughter was married to Jacob Hasbrouck, and settled at New Paltz.
Realizing that his end was near, on May 2, 1720, he dis- posed of all his real and personal estate by will, dividing it equally among his six children, deferring only so far to the custom of the times as to give to Jean one pound extra for his birthright.
A short time after this he died and was buried at New Paltz; his will was admitted to probate July 4, 1720.
Louis Bevier's children were :
I. Maria, born July 9, 1674, died in infancy.
2. Jean, born Jan. 2, 1676, married Catharine Montanye.
3. Abraham, born Jan. 20, 1678, married Rachel Vernooy.
4. Samuel, born Jan. 21, 1680, married Magdalena Blanshan.
5. Andries, born July 12, 1682, single, died 1768.
6. Louis, born Nov. 6, 1684, married Elizabeth Hasbrouck.

- 7. Esther, born Nov. 16, 1686, married Jacob Hasbrouck. 8. Solomon, born July 12, 1689, died in infancy.
The names of the children, with the dates of their birth, are found in the original record as made in French appar- ently by Louis Bevier himself on a fly-leaf of an old folio Bible still in our possession.
JEAN BEVIER
Two of the daughters of Jean Bevier perished with their families in the attack on the settlement at Fantinekill, made by the Indians under Brandt in 1779. These were Eliza- beth, who had married her cousin, Isaac Bevier, son of Sam- uel, and Johannah, the wife of Michael Sax. The surviving descendants of Jean Bevier afterwards removed to the west.
Some years ago, in digging down the foundation of the .old Bevier house near Napanoch, the fragments of a boy's diary were found in a recess which formed part of the chim- ney. These records were written by Cornelius, a son of Captain Andries Bevier, nephew of the murdered women. The translation is given below as it was sent to me:
"Went to Warwarsing with a load of rye to mill for father. Stopped at the tavern, took a drink and got some tobacco. Some of Captain Cortland's soldiers were there and drinking hard; some got drunk and they had to take their guns away; two of them tackled Tewn Osterhoudt because he wouldn't treat, but they were so drunk he throwed both of them and choked one of them pretty badly.
"Went to the fort with some potatoes. Sam went with me. Heard that Indian tracks had been seen above Honk .Falls. Coon Bevier said he could overturn any living In- dian, and hoped they would try and catch him.
228
HISTORY OF NEW PALTZ
"All woke up by guns. Heard them shoot towards Fan- tinekill. After breakfast saw smoke that way, like a build- ing. Heard there were Indians. Jesse's dog came down here, and after a while Captain Cortland's soldiers came up and father went with them, with all the men toward Fan- tinekill and left us all alone. We heard them shoot after they had been gone about an hour and we heard the Indians yell, and then we all started for the mountain. Sam and I took the silver mugs, the spoons and some money, and started for the mountain. More than twenty people came with us because we knew the path over, and they all car- ried their best things with them. We stopped by the spring and looked down, and saw the fire at Mike Sock's and heard them shoot at Jesse's. Black Bob came up to us on the path. He said he had run from the Fantinekill, and that the Indians had killed them all. We all started on foot as we could go, and went along the mountain to Maratanza Pond, and then hid all the silver and other things we could in the sand, and then Sam and I went over to the home of Mentz and rested. Mrs. Mentz gave us some milk. They were all scared. When we got to the pond, we went to the edge of the rocks and looked. again. All the fire was out except John Bodley's house, which smoked yet; we thought we could hear some shooting, but not sure. We went over to Shawangunk and told the people. Sam and I were bare- footed and outran most of the others until I hurt my foot in the burnt wood above Napanoch and it made me lame. In the night some of our folks came over; and said that the Indians had gone, and that some of the people were lost in the mountains.
"I went back over the mountain and rode part of the way on a horse, as my foot was lame. We went down to Fan-

tinekill and found the houses burned except Jesse Bevier's, which was partly burned, but the soldiers drove the In- dians off.
"They had killed all Mike Sock's family before the sol- diers came. It looked terrible around there."
ABRAHAM BEVIER
Some of the descendants of Abraham Bevier have re- mained in Wawarsing to the present day, represented in the fourth generation by Andries, who was a captain of militia and prominent in the business of the town; and by Conrad, who also served in the militia and was a member of the Legislature in 1777. In the fifth generation Dr. Benjamin R. Bevier was a widely-known physician of Na- panoch and he is followed by his son, Dr. Benjamin Rush Bevier. Other descendants of. Abraham removed to neigh- boring towns, and to various points in the west and south.
One of his grandsons went to New Paltz, another to Shawangunk, while still another removed to Oil Creek, , Penn. In the fifth generation the family was still more widely scattered, five sons of Captain Andries Bevier re- moved to Owasco, N. Y., and his daughter Rachel married Henry J. Brinkerhoff of Mansfield, Ohio, and is the grand- mother of Gen. Rælif Brinkerhoff. One of the sons, Abra- ham J. Bevier, removed to Stark county, Ill., another to Fairfax, Va. Johannes, the son of Cornelius, went to wes- tern New York and his children later removed to Wiscon- sin and Illinois.
In the sixth generation we find Dr. Matthew Bevier of Owasco, Richard Brodhead Bevier of Gardiner, Abraham A. Bevier of Napanoch, Rev. Johannes Hornbeck Bevier, at

SAMUEL BEVIER
Samuel Bevier, the son of Louis the immigrant, remained on the old homestead at New Paltz and his father made his home with him until his death. in 1720.
Of his children Abraham, Jacob and Philip settled at New Paltz, Abraham being an Associate Judge of that town. Johannes moved to Shawangunk where he was a prominent citizen and a leading elder in the church. Isaac removed to Rochester and his widow and two sons were killed by the Indians. Five grandsons of Samuel Bevier removed to western New York, being followed in the next generation by many more of the family, so that there are very few of Samuel's line now living in Ulster county. This branch of the Bevier family is represented in the seventh generation by Orville D. Bevier of New York city and by Mrs. Henry A. Temple of St. John, N. B.
LOUIS BEVIER
Louis Bevier, the second of the name, settled in Marble- town in 1715 on the land purchased for him by his father of Peter Van Leuvan. He married Elizabeth Hasbrouck, daughter of Jean Hasbrouck of New Paltz, and died in 1753. His only child, Louis, was born April 29, 1717. He was a noted surveyor and also served as Supervisor of his town. He married, in 1745, Esther, daughter of Philip Du-

Bois of Rochester, he died in 1772. Of this third Louis his cousin Abraham Hasbrouck writes :
"My cousin, Louis Bevier, departed this transitory life the 29th day of September, at two o'clock in the morning and in the year of our Lord 1772, aged 55 years, 4 months, 19 days, and rests in the Lord until his coming. He was a good husband, a tender father, a good master, a kind neigh- bor, a true friend to liberty, a pillar in the church at Mar- bletown and elsewhere, an honest gentleman. He was en- dowed with a good share of knowledge, he was a comely man of middle stature, strong of body. He died of an apoplectic fit in the night, very suddenly, before his wife and children could come to him to see his exit."
Louis Bevier, the third, had two sons that survived him, David and Philip. David, the grandfather of the writer, remained on the Marbletown homestead where I now reside ; while Philip removed to Rochester. Philip served as a Member of the Assembly in 1777 and was a colonel in the regular army during the Revolution. His only son, Dr. Louis D. B. Bevier, was a prominent physician, and died in 1851, leaving no heirs.
David Bevier, at the age of 29 years, was an adjutant in a regiment of militia under Col. Levi Pawling, later he was one of the Committee of Safety. He married, in 1778, Maria, daughter of Abraham Hasbrouck of Kingston, and in deference to her wishes the family ceased using the French language and adopted the Dutch.
David Bevier had two sons, the elder Louis and the younger Joseph. For the latter he purchased a farm at Catskill, but he afterwards sold this place and returned to the town of Olive, in Ulster county, where he resided till

his death in 1840. Joseph had but one son, David, whose sons, Joseph and Hasbrouck, are settled in Olive, while his youngest son, Charles, removed to Minnesota.
The elder son, Louis, father of the writer, remained at Marbletown where he married Maria Eltinge, daughter of Cornelius Eltinge of Hurley. He was a captain in the war of 1812 and died in 1826. His only son is the writer of the present sketch.
This line is further represented in the seventh generation by Louis Bevier, Jr., Professor of Greek in Rutgers College, New Brunswick, N. J., and in the eighth generation by Louis Bevier third, still a minor.
