[*This paper discloses great excitement among the people and concern as to public affairs. The student of political his- tory at once detects the cause in the date. A great revolution had occurred in England. William, Prince of Orange, had en- tered the country, overthrown King James II, who fled into France, and William and Mary were proclaimed King and Queen of England. The revolution was both political and

religious, James being a Catholic and William a Protestant. The news of this great event reached America in April of this year. The people of Huntington being Protestants, and smart- ing under the detention of their patents by a Catholic govern- or, naturally sympathized with the new Protestant king, but the colony remained in the hands of a governor and council ap- pointed under King James. The most of the towns in the colony were up in arms against this "popish power" as they called it. It was under such influences that Captain Jacob Leisler of New York City began to lay his plans for seizing the fort in New York and assuming command in the name of King William, and his purpose was made known to the people in Huntington. Under these circumstances the people here sent out their most trusted men to learn the true situation of af- fairs, and they in effect proclaimed martial law in the town, choosing Epenetus Platt, who was at the head of the militia here, as commander-in-chief for the time being. The people went further ; they agreed to join Southold in sending men "to York" to demand the surrender of the fort, and directed Cap- tain Platt to proceed with men on that expedition. The fort was not taken until June 3d ensuing, and though there seems to be no account of the action of the military here under this order, there is hardly any doubt that Capt. Platt and his men were at the taking of the fort under orders of Capt . Jacob Leis- ler, no bloodshed having occurred at the time of its capture .- C. R. S.]

[*Though the eastern towns had at first favored the usurpa- tion of Leisler and the capture of the fort at New York, with the exception of East Hampton, they seem to have afterwards favored annexation to Connecticut and awaited events, finally supporting the new governor, Sir Henry Sloughter. Upon his arrival in the colony William and Mary were proclaimed in most of the towns, and probably in Huntington, with fireworks and demonstrations of joy, pursuant to the order of Gov. Leisler dated Dec. 19, 1689. Gov. Leisler commissioned the following officers in Huntington as appears by N. Y. Documentary His- tory, Vol. 2, pp. 347 and 353: Ebenezer Platt, Justice of the Peace ; Thomas Wicks, Captain ; John Wood, Lieutenant. Leisler's government was short, and disorder prevailed every- where, and finally ended by his arrest, trial, conviction for trae- son, and execution on the 16th day of May, 1691 .- C. R. S.]
