FROM THE EARLY RECORDS OF THE TOWN.
" Whereas Colle peter Schuyler, late president of the council of New York, by letter pattents or a confirmation under the great seal of the said province of new york, Fearing date the 31 day of Sup- tember, 1-19, dudd appoint Cornelis kool, arieu gerrits , Jacob Dubois, Barpardus Swartwout, Jacob Rutse, nicolas Roosa, & Charel Wyle to be the first Trustees of hurley, am! to continue to the first teus lay of April, 1722."
The above paragraph commencing with " whereas" has no conclusion answering to that opening word, but muay be considered a general preamble to the records of the trustees thus appointed.
The earliest recorded meeting for the election of general town officers appears to be the following :
" At the meeting of the inhabitants of Hurley this 5th day, or the first Tuesday of Aprill, 1720, and are chosen by majority of voices, tho officers following: Trustees, Cornelius Wynkoop, in the room of Charles Wyle, deceased; Constables, Baruardus Swartwout, Mattys plasyan : Supervisor, Johannis Schepinves; Assessors, Mattys Ten Eyck, Nicolas Roosa; Collectors, Aldert Roo-a, Jan Roosa, Jun. ; Fence. viewers. Jan Van Ette. Huybert Suylant, Jan Crispell; Sur- veyors of the Highway, Cristofel Deenmarke, Nicolas Roosa ; Pour- masters, Huybert Suylaut, Jan Crispell.
" Barnardus Swartwout. Jan. Stb, 1721, refused and would serve not longer as trustre, atel desired to be dismissel. Ordered that publie notice shall be given to the inhabitants of Hurley to meet the 12th day of this instant to choose one trustee in the room of Barnar- dus Swantwort." At that meeting Maltys Ten Eyck was chosen.
At a meeting of trustees, March 15, 1721, Col. Jacob Ruthe desired to have a conveyance for his land according to a deed of the trustees of Marbletown bearing date May 20, 1595 ; grantel if they can agree about the price.
John ilardenbergh desired, in behalf of the heirs of Charles Wyle, to have a conveyance for them of the land between Cornelius Wyn- koop and the Crupel Bush of said Charles Wyle, and also said Crupel Bush, for the heirs of Roelof Hendrickse, deceased; of which the trustees shall consider.
Nicolas Roosa desires to have a conveyance for n tract of laud commonly called hemer Vly, for him and his brothers ; granted.
Cornelius Kool desires to have a conveyance for the land between the npland of Cornelius Elte and his upland : granted.
Jacob Du Bois desires to have two small traets of land, the one by bis pasture, the other a little distance ; granted.
At the town-meeting of 1721 there were chosen the following officers: Constables and Collectors, Symon Van Wagener, Arent Ostrander; Assessors, Mattys Ten Eyck, Nicolas Roosa; Surveyors of Highways, Lambert Kool, Nicolas Plasyan; Supervisor, Arien Gerretse ; Fence-viewers, Allert Roosa, Jan Crispell, Allert Jause Rooza; Poormasters, Jau Roosa, Jan Van Ette.
At a meeting of trustees. April 25, 1721, it is recorded that, "whereas Johu Hardenberg, lately moved to have a conveyance of sail Crupel Bush for the heirs of Roelof Hendricks, it is granted that three parts thereof shall be conveyed unto the heirs of Charles Wyle, aud one part unto Ebert, and the other part unto Jenneke int Velt."#
Jacob Rutse desired a conveyance for 50 acres of land adjoining to his other land; granted.
At a meeting of trustees May 10, 1721, Jacob Du Bois desires, in behalf of Janetie Newkirk, to have a conveyance for her of a traet of land aljoining to her other upland; granted.
Cornelia Chambers desires t. have a conveyanco for her home-lut or the just true tenth part of the land that lyeth between the path that leads to the bush-land of John Roosa and the land of John Schepmoes ; granted.
The above copy of several pages of the town records shows the value of the material contained in them, and how serious is the historical damage caused by the loss of town books.
OLD HOMESTEADS.
Some of these may be identified as follows : The Cole homestead of early times was the present residence of Mrs. Wilkinson. It is still owned by members of the Cule family, and has been the property of snecessive generations from the first settlement. The Suylandt homestead was the present place of Abram S. Iloughtaling. Very near this stood the school-house of olden times. The Ostrander place of early thnes has been owned continuously by sue- cessive generations of the same name, and was the one now occupied by Samuel Ostrander. The ancient house was taken down a year or two since. The Brink homestead was over the creek. This has also been retained in the family from the first settlement, and is now the property of Peter Brink. The Konstapel homestead was the present place of Thomas Houghtaling. The Egbert Roosa place of the Revolutionary era was near the above, and is also now owned by Thomas Houghtaling. Petrus Roosa was a brother of Egbert, and had a residence near by, now
the place of Gardiner Smith. The Col. Wynkoop place of early times was over the creek, under the mountain near the Brink place mentioned above. The Petrus Wyn- koop homestead -- in another brauch of the Wynkoop family --- was in the village just in the rear of the present Sickles Hotel. The house now owned by M. Sagendorph was an Elting hoincsteal in carly times. It is near the line be- tween Kingston and Hurley. Straggling parties of the British came to'this point at the time Kingston was de- stroged and burned these buildings. It was the farthest

point into the country that they reached. It is a local tradition, perhaps correct, that the main body of the British army came through Kingston, and as far as the well-known " Old Oak-tree." Upon the old road beyond the creek, and a mile north of the Wynkoop homestead mentioned above, was the old place of Mattys Ten Eyck. The building is very old, and is now owned by Ten Eyck Dewitt, a descendant of the same family. A half-mile farther north was the homestead of Andries Newkirk, now occupied by Heury Stewart. A mile south of Col. Wyn- koop's place was another homestead, belonging to Capt. New- kirk. It is now owned by Patrick MeSperit. A little west of this last-mentioned place was au okl homestead of the Dn Buis family, owned by Petrus Du Bois. It is now the property of Solomon D. Campbell. Near the residence of Mrs. Wilkinson ( the Cole homestead) was the place of Richard Oliver, son of Andrew Oliver, of Marbletown, and brother of the early Dr. James Oliver, also of Marbletown. Richard Oliver's wife was a sister of Cornelius Cole, the latter being known in Revolutionary times as " King Cole." A little north of the above place was the old homestead of John J. Du Bois, now occupied by David D. Woolsey. Some distance farther north was another Du Bois home- stead of the carly times, afterwards owned and kept as a tavern by James Morris. The carly homestead of the Hardenberghs in this neighborhood was the place now owned by Christopher N. and Ten Eyck P. Dewitt.
TAVERNS.
A public-house of the Revolutionary age was the resi- dence now owned by A. B. Houghtaling. It stands at the corner where the road from Kingston intersects the main street of the village. In Gen. Washington's ride from Kingston to Marbletown the people came out from their dwellings to do honor to the illustrious chief. Several boys seated upon the fence opposite this old tavern, in genuine boy style, with pumpkin-vine trombones, gave him a sahite as mellifluous then as similar music is now. The general is said to have been pleased with this familiarity, and to have called the boys into the tavern and gave them cach a taste of wine from his own glass.
An old tavern south of the village about a mile, was the place now ortupiel by Cornelius Houghtaling. This was about the beginning of the present century, and it was the Headquarters of the old Masonic lodge mentioned in another place. Somewhat farther north was the tavern of Capt. Du Bois. In this village the present house of John L. Ehmendorph was also a tavern for many years, kept by Petrus Elmendorph. The present Sickles Hotel was first opened as a public-house by Peter P. Wynkoop.
MERCHANTS.
The early store of Louis Du Bois, in 1663, is mentioned in connection with the destruction of the village by the Indians. Of the intervening period from that date until the present century there is no tradition of storekeepers. The trade was no doubt in Kingston, only three miles dis- tant. An old store is spoken of by the older people, located in connection with the mills at the present place of An- gustus Sutton. It was kept by Isaac Du Bois probably as
early as 1800. The present Ten Eyck store was established about forty years ago by Mr. Fuller. He was succeeded in trade by Abram Burger. He was followed by Mr. D.v. and from him the present owner, Samuel Ten Eyck, pur- chased the property.
PHYSICIANS.
A portion of the town of Hurley is so near Kingston that the practice of the city physicians naturally extends within the limits of this town. At Hurley village, Dr. Ten Eyck was a practicing physician for several years in the early part of this century. Dr. Peter Crispell was in practice for a long series of years, and died recently at an advanced age. A son, Dr. A. Crispell, is now located at Rondout. Dr. Peter was a student with Dr. James Oliver, of Marbletown. Dr. Van Hoovenburgh, who lived in Kingston, owned a farm in Hurley, but it is not state !! that he practiced in this town. Dr. E. H. Farrington practiced in Hurley for a time. Dr. Griffin is at present a physician, located at West Hurley.
IV .- ORGANIZATION.
The settlement of Hurley, as already shown, dates back to 1662. Of the government of the place as a separate civil division, we have little account prior to 1708, when it was created a town by letters patent bearing date October 19th of that year. The name has been previously noticed. It was given in honor of the Barons Hurley, of Ireland. The territory un ler the jurisdiction of the town has been varied somewhat from time to time. A part of the Hardenburgh patent, released by Margaret Livingston, was annexed to Hurley March 3, 1789. A part of lurley was set off to New Paltz in 1809; another part to Esopas in 1818; another part to Olive in 1823; another part to Rosendale in 1844; and finally a part to Woodstock in 1853. The ancient records are not preserved in full.
