LAND TITLES-FIRST SETTLEMENTS.

The precise location of these several patents will not be attempted. Some of them became centres of population ; especially is this true of the German Patent of 1719, which was issued to fugitives from the Palatinate of the Rhine, who had been settled thercon in 1709, and is now embraced in the city of Newburgh. A comparatively small portion of the Minisink Patent extended over the present county. The Wawayanda and Chesckook Patents were wholly within its limits, the former being the largest, and embracing its most fertile sections. The progress of settlement of the district during the century suc- ceeding the discovery, aside from the extinction of the aboriginal title and the issue of patents, is approxi- mately conveyed in the census of 1702, by which it appears that the population at that time, exclusive of the MacGregorie settlement, consisted of forty-nine men between the ages of sixteen and sixty, forty mar- ried women, fifty-seven male and eighty-four female children, thirteen male negroes, seven negresses, and thirteen negro children.

Adverting more particularly to the Wawayanda Patent, we find it an undefined district both in pur- chase and in grant. The Indian deed of March 5, 1702-3, to Dr. John Bridges, Hendrick Ten Eyck, Derrick Vandenburgh, John Cholwell, Christopher Denne, Lancaster Symes, Daniel Honan, Philip Rokeby, John Merritt, Benjamin Aske, Peter Mat- thews, and Cornelius Christianse, described the con- veyance as of "certain tracts and parcels of vacant lands in the county of Orange, named Wawayanda, and some other small tracts and parcels of land, being bounded eastward by the high hills of the Highlands and the patent of Capt. John Evans, on the north by the division line of the counties of Orange and UI- ster, on the westward by the high hills to the cast- ward of Minisink, and on the south by the division line of the province of New York and East Jersey ;" and the patent of April 29, 1703, repeats these boun- daries literally. Standing on one of "the high hills of the Highlands," on the east, the eye could sweep the outline of the valley below and trace the circling line of " the high hills to the eastward of Minisink" until they faded away in the south, but no eye could estimate its actual surface, and its proprietors were themselves surprised at the extent of their grant. It was held by deed in common until 1705, when it was agreed to divide it in twelve parts and release sur- vivorship rights. This release was executed Sept. 23, 1706, at which time the number of original hoklers had been reduced to eight, viz .: Derrick Vanden- burgh, brieklayer; John Cholwell, merchant; Chris- topher Denne, merchant; Lancaster Symes, gentle- man ; Daniel Ionan, gentleman; Benjamin Aske,

principally overplas in surveys of other patents, obtained at later periods, but the acreage in them is not sufficiently large to justify ex- tended research. It may be well to add that, through heirs and devisees of the original grantees, some of the patented lands became known by the names of other parties.

merchant; Peter Matthews, gentleman ; and John Merritt, gentleman, all of the city of New York. The remaining four of the patentee interests were held as follows: the Bridges share by Ann Bridges, the Rokeby share by Daniel Cromeline and others, the Christianse share by Derrick Vandenburgh, and the Ten Eyck share by Daniel Cromeline. In 1713 the number of shares was increased to thirteen by the admission of Dr. Samuel Staats, each of the twelve proprietors yiekling to him a twelfth share of their respective interests, in satisfaction of a claim which he had set up to a portion of the tract by virtue of prior purchase (1702).

The sale and settlement of the patent made little progress prior to 1714. The several shares were -ur- veyed, at least partially, and located, and the general fact ascertained that it would be perhaps prudent to conceal the actual acreage. To do this more effect- ually it was assumed that each share was two thousand acres, and so published it, when in reality they were over five times that number, as appears by a suh-e- quent or "second division," which was made some years later. Of the " first division" maps were made and exposed at the land-offices in New York, accom- panied by a description of the soil, rivers, ponds, etc., as shown by the partial surveys ; but purchasers either came not or were better pleased with offers elsewhere.

In March, 1706, the patentees agreed to add six hundred acres to the share of that one of their number who should make settlement on the patent before the end of May, 1709, or, as we understand it, that six hundred acres should be given to the first settler; but the offer was not taken. In September, 1706, they constituted and appointed "any number of themselves" who might be conveniently got together, "with full power to convey, bargain, sell, or devise one full fourth part of all the said tracts" to any person or persons who should erect thereon, prior to 1716, "saw-mills, grist-mills, or other water-mills," the "runs, creeks, and rivers" not to be disposed of, however, in fee simple, but " leased or devised for a term of years or life;" but it does not appear that this proposition was received with more favor than that first made.

The patent stood unoccupied until 1712, when the active surviving share-holders determined to make settlements themselves. These were Christopher Denne, Daniel Cromeline, and Benjamin Aske, who were made justices of the peace of Orange County to facilitate the end in view. In their effort they were joined by at least one person who had obtained an interest in the patent, Christian Snedeker, of Long Island. Laborers were hired and supplies procured, and in person or by proxy they simultaneously entered the patent,-Christopher Denne preceded, it is said, . by Sarah Wells; Daniel Cromeline by William Bull ; Benjamin Aske by Lawrence Decker ; and Snedeker by Johannes Wisner, his wife, and sons Hendrick and | Adam. It is perhaps unnecessary to discuss the ques-

tion of priority in actual occupation. Wisner's deed from Snedeker for two hundred aeres bears date June 23, 1714, he then being in "possession and occu- pation," and clearly so at a prior date, while tradition asserts that Sarah Wells was the first white woman --- and a remarkable woman she was in her age and in her. descendants-on the patent,* and that she came in 1712. Whatever may be the facts of the case, the record is clear that the settlement of Goshen, War- wick, and Chester was commenced simultaneously by parties sent out by the proprietors named. Soon after this John Everett and Samuel Clowes, of Jamaica, ' L. I., were induced to take charge of the settlement : of the patent. They appear to have been land specu- lators, but were nevertheless the direct agents in in- dueing immigration and in founding prosperous towns.

Strictly in the line of this chapter, as relating-to land titles, may be here enumerated the recorded sales by the proprietors to actual settlers and others, as well as to Everett and Clowes, prior to 1721. They were as follows :

1. Philip Rokeby sold his undivided twelfth part to Daniel Cromeline, Jolin Merritt, and Elias Boudi- not, June 10, 1704. Merritt sold his third to Crome- line in 1705. Boudinot sold his third to George Me- Nish, who sold to Clowes, Feb. 5, 1714, for £150.

2. Cornelius Christianse sold to Derrick Vanden- burgh, Sept. 8, 1704, all his twelfth part. Vandenburgh sold to Elias Boudinot, and the latter sold one-sixth of same to Everett and Clowes, July 20, 1714, for £66 138. Boudinot's heirs subsequently sold five-sixths to Everett and Clowes for £41 138. 4d. This tract em- braced New Milford, in the present town of Warwick.

3. Hendrick Ten Eyck sold his twelfth part to Daniel Cromeline, Dec. 8, 1704. Cromeline, who also owned two-thirds of the Rokeby share, sold to Everett and Clowes, Jan. 1, 1714, the sixth part of his interest for £83 68., excepting two tracts, one of which con- tained three thousand seven hundred and six aeres. This tract was principally in the present town of Chester, and embraced the site on which he had made settlement and erected a stone dwelling, and to which he had given the name of "Gray Court."

4. Ann Bridges sold to John Van Horne, merchant, of New York, July 4, 1705, all the equal undivided twelfth part held by her husband, Dr. John Bridges, for the sum of $250. Van Horne was also the pur- chaser of a part or the whole of another share, and sold to Everett and Clowes one-sixth part of one-sixth of one-thirteenth part for £58 68. 8d. Amity was in Bridges' parcel.

5. Daniel Honan sold to Jolin Merritt, 1705, all his twelfth part. Margery Merritt, widow, and John Merritt, son, sold to Adrian Hoaglandt one-half, and to Anthony Rutgers one-half. Rutgers sold to Ever-

ett and Clowes one-twelfth of his half, and Anna, widow of bhaglandt, sold to the same parties one- twelfth, the latter, April 12.1714, for £75.

6. Derrick Vandenburgh died holding his original share, and his wife Rymerich, and his son Henry, his heirs, sold the same to Elias Boudinot, Aug. 8, 1707. Boudinot sold this entire share to Clowes, Oct. 27, 1713, for £355. This parcel embraced what is called in the old deeds the "Florida tract ;" the name " Florida" is still retained.

7. John Cholwell sold his twelfth part to Adrian Hoaglandt, Oct. 5, 1706, for £350. Anna Hoaglandt, his widow, sold to Everett and Clowes one-sixth of the share, and the remainder descended to Christopher Banker and Elizabeth his wife, James Renanst and Bertilje his wife, and Petrus Rutgers and Helena his wife, her heirs.

8. John Merritt held his share at the time of his death, and his heirs, Margery Merritt, widow, and John Merritt, eldest son, sold one-half to Adrian Hoaglandt. John (then a resident of New London) sold to John Everett, Feb. 25, 1714, the remaining half for £120. P

- 9. Benjamin Aske sold to Everett and Clowes, July 20, 1714, one-sixth of his thirteenth part for £50. He subsequently sold a portion to Lawrence Decker, Feb. 28, 1719; another to Thomas Blain, May 20, 1721; and another to Thomas De Kay, Dec. 8, 1724. In all cases the land conveyed is described as part of lis farm, " called Warwick," and in all cases the par- ties to whom the deeds were made were described as residents of the county and upon the land conveyed.

10. Lancaster Symes sold to Everett and Clowes, July 20, 1714, one-sixth of his thirteenth part for £50.

11. Peter Matthews, then living in Albany, sold all his thirteenth part to Clowes, Feb. 11, 1713, for £200.

12. Christopher Denne sold, July 20, 1714, to Clowes and Everett one-sixth of his share for £50. He also sold to Robert Brown three hundred and ten aeres, Sept. 3, 1721. Elizabeth Denne sold to William Mapes, Joseph Allison, John Yelverton, Ebenezer Holly, Joseph Sears, John Green, and John Worley, the Mapes deed bearing date March 1, 1729. The remainder of her interest in the patent passed by her will to Sarah Jones, spinster, of New York, and Vincent Matthews. Sarah Jones afterwards married Thomas Brown.

13. Dr. Samuel Staats' thirteenth part descended to his children, Gertury, wife of Andries Codymus ; Sarah, wife of Isaac Gouverneur; Catlyria, wife of Stevanus Van Cortlandt; Anna, wife of Philip Schuy- ler; Johanna White, widow ; and Tryntie Staats, who sold to Clowes and Everett one-sixth of said part for £50, Sept. 2, 1720.

John Everett and Samuel Clowes, by these deeds, came into possession of one-third of the Rokeby, one- half of the Christianse, all of the Vandenburgh, one- half of the Merritt, all of the Matthews, two-twelfths of the Honan, and one-sixth of each of the shares

held by the other patentees, in all equaling four of the thirteen parts. Obliged thereto by the terms of the deeds to them, they laid out as early as 1714 the township of Goshen. This township plot was divided into farms of varying quantities, and roads opened and reservedl. The roads ran north and south and east and west, and divided the plot into what became known as the East Division, West Division, North Division, and South Division. Everett and Clowes were also obli- gated to assign two hundred acres of land to a minis- ter, whenever the owners and occupants of the plat should agree in the selection of one. It would per- haps be impossible to certainly determine who the first settlers were, the deeds on record being the only guide to dates, which may be anterior to or after set- tlement was made. They are :

Jan. 8, 1714, to Michael Dunning, of Jamaica, L. I.

June 23, 1714, to Johannes Weasner, late of the Swiss contingent.

July 21, 1714, to Solomon Carpenter, of Jamaica, L. I.

July 31, 1714, to Abraham Finch, of Stamford, Conn.

July 31, 1714, to Samuel Seeley, of Stamford, Conn. July 31, 1714, to John Holly, of Stamford, Conn. Oct. 7, 1715, to John Yelverton, of Jamaica, L. I. Oct. 31, 1718, to William Jackson.

April 25, 1719, to Daniel Coole.

April 15, 1720, to William Burch, of Hempstead, L. I., who sold to John Yelverton, July 16, 1723.

May 22, 1721, to Joseph Allison, of Southold, L. I.

That there were deeds which were not recorded is apparent from the names attached to one which was given to the first blacksmith. This deed is dated July 21, 1721, and recites that the proprietors had "lately caused two small lots to be laid out in the south di- vision of the township for the encouragement of a blacksmith, which was much needed ;" that " William Thompson is lately settled there," and in considera- tion thereof the lands were bargained and sold to him. The proprietors and resident owners appearing as grantors were :

John Everett.

James Jackson. Isaac Finch.

John Bears.

Samuel Seeley.

George McNish.

James Saeds.

Charles Williamson.

John Knapp.

John Alsep.

Samuel Webb.

In 1722, April 17th, a deed was executed " designed as an encouragement to the first minister." The re- cipient was John Bradner, who had been " lately settled and established the first minister of the said precinct of Goshen." Lands " for a parsonage and other public uses," and " for a burying-ground and whereon to build the minister's house," then being erected, were also deeded. In the execution of these

deeds we have in the first instance the names of the holders of lots in the patent at that time, and in the second the names of proprietors of the township. The fornier were :

Lancaster Symes.

John Everett.

Christopher Denne.

Samuel Clowes.

Benjamin Aske.

Solomon Carpenter.

Daniel Cromeline.

John Carpenter.

John Van Horne.

Wait Smith.

Anthony Rutgers.

Samuel Seeley.

Michael Dunning.

The proprietors in the township were :

William Ludlum.

Nathaniel Higby.

John Carpenter, Jr.

G. McNish.

James Sandys.

Isaac Fiech. Solomon Carpenter.

John Bears. Michael Dunning.

John Nicells.

William Jackson.

John Knapp.

Samuel Webb.

John Alsop.

Richard Halstead.

In this connection may be recapitulated facts already stated in regard to settlements on other parts of the patent. The house erected by Cromeline was completed in 1716 and occupied ; that of Christopher Denne was also completed and occupied, as well as that of Benjamin Aske, at Warwick, at about the same time. William Bull, the mason and architect of Cromeline's house, married Sarah Wells, who had been sent out by Denne with the men in his employ, in 1718, and put up a cabin near Denne's (now in Hamptonburgh), on a farm given to Sarah. Johan- nes Weasner was certainly in the township in 1714 with his family, and it is safe to say that Lawrence Decker was in Warwick, under Aske, at as early a date. The written record cannot be successfully con- troverted by tradition upon any point, no matter with what attraction the tradition may be recited, or how- ever honestly it may be believed.

The settlement of other patents may be more satis- factorily treated in connection with the towns in which they were located. As a general guide to determine the question of priority of settlement in the patents composing the northeastern and western portions of the present county, the following official lists are given. Further approximative dates may be obtained from the military rolls hereinafter quoted : .

" The freeholders, inhabitants, residents, and sojourners in the county of Ulster, their real and personal estates, sre rated and assessed by the Assessors (on their death) chesen for the same on the 26th day of Janu- ary, 1714-5, and are to pay at the rate of eue penny half-pence ? £ to discharge this year's payment of said county's quota, levyd by an act of the Assembly, entitled an act for levying the sum of ten thoussed pounds,"* viz. .

* The pounds of that period were only about equivalent of one dollar each of the present I'nited States issue. Some of the parties were rich iu uncleared acres of land, however.

CHAPTER III.

CIVIL GOVERNMENT - ORIGINAL COUNTY OF ORANGE-THE PRESENT COUNTY OF ORANGE - COURTS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS, ETC.

UNTIL the conquest of the province by the Eng- lish in 1664, its eivil government was an extension of the laws and customs of Holland, in which local gov- ernment was the prerogative of towns. The English system differed from this in many respects, but in the nature of the situation in which the province came to their hands, they were compelled to combine their own with that of Holland. Without disturbing the Dutch towns of New York, Albany, Kingston, and Esopus, further than in a change of names, courts and sheriff's were introduced in the English counties by what was known as "the Duke's Laws," in 1665. In this erude condition-the sparcity of population scarcely requiring that which was more complete- the government remained until 1682, when Col. Thomas Dongan was appointed Governor of the prov- ince with instructions to organize a Council, to be composed of not exceeding ten of " the most eminent inhabitants," and to issue writs to the proper officers for the election of "a General Assembly of all the frecholders by the persons who they shall choose to represent them," in order to consult with him and his Council " what laws are fit and necessary to be made and established" for the good government of the prov- inee "and all the inhabitants thereof." On the 17th of October, 1683, the Assembly thus authorized met at Fort James in New York. It was composed of delegates from all parts of the province, and during

its session of three weeks passed fourteen several acts, which were assented to by the Governor and his Council. Among these laws was one " to divide this province and dependencies into shires and counties," and one "to settle courts of justice." Twelve coun- ties were established by the former: New York, Kings, Queens, Suffolk, Richmond, Westchester, Albany, Ulster, Duchess, Orange, Duke's, and Corn- wall, which, with the exception of Duchess, which was placed under the care of Ulster, and Orange, which was similarly associated with New York, were to be entitled to representation in future General As- semblies. The law relating to courts established four distinct tribunals : Town Courts, for the trial of small causes, to be held each month ; County Courts, or Courts of Sessions, to be held at certain times, quar- terly or half yearly ; a General Court of Oyer and Terminer, with original and appellate jurisdiction, to sit twice in every year in each county, and a Court of Chancery, to be the " Supreme Court of the Prov- ince," composed of the Governor and Council, with power in the Governor to depute a Chancellor in his stead, and appoint clerks and other officers, The old Court of Assizes was replaced by the Court of Oyer and Terminer. This system continued until 1691, when courts of justices of the peace were organized in every town, and one of Common Pleas for every county.
