MONTANYE.
Abram De La Montanie,-he so wrote his name .- claims a separate notice here as one of the patentees, though repre- senting only a lesser branch of this numerous family, of which more extended notes will be found in Appendix B. The prefix De La, adopted by all the sons of Dr. Johannes La Montagne, was more generally retained, perhaps, by his descendants of this branch than of any other, but still was so far common to all of the name, and yet so generally treated as of doubtful utility,- to be used or omitted at pleasure,-that it becomes a very unre- liable means of identity. (See note, page 107.)
Abram Delamontanie, born in 1664, baptized March 16, 1664. and but eight years of age when his father, John, died. was the only son that remained at Harlem. He was bred a weaver, and afterward gave instruction in that handicraft to other young men of the town. He married, March 27, 1689, Rebecca, eldest daugli- ter of Theunis Idens Van Huyse, of Bloomingdale, and by the death of his mother soon after, near the close of that year. stic- ceeded to her house and lot in the village. His rights as a pat- entee were by virtue of this freehold: and upon this he drew, in 1691. lot No. 23. five morgen, which in the deed given by the town March 21, 1701, is described as follows :
There is set off to Abraham de La Montanie ( for the right of one erf), a piece of land lying west of the King's way, bounded against the Harlem

limits to a steep rock standing in the run, upon it four rods northerly a small maple tree of Metje Cornelis; and southerly on along the King's way to a run where the King's way passes over.
This piece of land, now within Central Park, lay opposite to and below the old McGown place, stretching along the west side of the road from 99th to 104th Street, or thereabouts, and upon its southern end afterward stood the Black Horse Tavern, of Revolutionary notoriety. The west side of this grant lay in proximity to the lands of his father-in-law, Theunis Idens. Samuel Waldron, in 1712, had drawn No. 7 in Ist Division, which was in two parts, one of nearly 10 acres, being identical with the McGown place aforesaid; the other, some 21/2 acres, lying oppos- ite, west of the road, between Delamontanie's grant above de- scribed, and a lot laid out to the Delavall heirs, and later included in the Nutter farm. Delamontanie, by an exchange, added Wal- dron's lot to his own, giving Waldron his drafts in 2d, 3d, and 4th Divisions. His lot in Ist Division, No. 17, containing 3 a. I q. 24 r., lay on the hill about 145th Street, on the east side of Kings- bridge Road. He sold this to Barent Waldron, from whom it passed with his farm, in 1740, to John R. Myer, and from him to Abraham Myer; being the piece improperly described as in "first fourth division," and which experts even have been puzzled to locate. Delamontanie's lands in Harlem continued to be rated at 20 acres. On June 22, 1720, his father-in-law conveyed to him and his wife an eighth part of his farm, said part being 571/2 acres, running in a strip from near Delamontanie's land north- westerly to Hudson River.#
There is not a circumstance to show that Abraham Delamon- tanie ever set up any claim to the lands sold and conveyed by his parents to Bogert; but he early conceived the idea, drawn apparently from some clause in his father's will, as well as the tenor of the deed to Bogert, that said deed merely conveyed the Point and meadows attached, but did not carry the morgen right,
* Theunis Idens, as his autograph is, but also called Theunis Eidesse Van Huyse, has been noticed as the owner of a large farm between 89th and 107th streets, on the North River side. He was born in 1639, probably in Holland, being son of Iden Van Huyse, by his wife Tryntie Jacobs, afterward married to Jacob Helliker (or Hellaker), alias Swart, who has descendants of both names. Theunis spent his early life on Long Island. A curious account of him there and after he came to New York is given by Dankers and Sluyter of his reckless youth and his reformation. He be- came a church member June 17, 1680. When and from whom he purchased at Bloomingdale is not ascertained; the line between his land and Harlem patent was run in 1690. the town paying 24 guilders toward the survey. In his old age Theunis had his farm laid off by Peter Berrien into lots of 5716 acres each, being in breadth 42 rods. or thereabouts, at the river and rear, and numbered I to 8. from south to north. On June 22 and 23. 1720, he and wife Jannetie (daughter of Thys Van Pelt). conveyed these several parcels to their children as follows (giving possession, after the ancient usage, "by turf and twig") : No. 8 to their son-in-law. Abraham Delamontanie. and his wife aforesaid: Nos. 6, 7 to their son-in-law, George Dyckman, married to their youngest daughter, Catalina: Nos. 4, 5. to their son, Eide Van Huyse: No. 3 and 1-3 of 2. to their son-in-law. Myndert Burger Van Evera, married to their daughter Sarah, and No. 1 and 1-3 of No. 2, to their son-in-law, Marinus Roelofse Van Vleck- eren, married to their daughter Dinah. Of these lots, Nos. 1 to 5 were owned sub- sequently by Charles Ward Apthorpe, and Nos. 6 to 8 were held many years by the Dikemans, descendants of Joris Dyckman. To his daughter Maria, married to Jurien Rynchout. Theunis gave the farm noticed page 545.

or a share in the undivided common lands. This gave rise to the following letter :
N. Haarlem, 5 December, 1700.
· To the Overseers of N. Haarlem. Honorable Sirs.
Abram de Lamontanie, inhabitant of this town, inquires of your Honors, whether you or your predecessors have laid out any ground or land for the deed of John de La Montanie, deceased, which deed is re- maining on the records of this town, and dated 8 February, 1672.
ABRAM DE LA MONTANIE.
To this, two days after, the following reply was given :
N. Haarlem, 7 December, 1700.
We, Laurens Jansen, Jacques Tourneur and Peter Van Oblienis, Over- seers of N. Haarlem, having read the writing of the 5 December, 1700, sent to us by Abram de La Montanie, think proper to answer that the before named La Montanie may examine whether he can obtain any ad- vantage from the deed which John Louwe Bogert shall get from our hands. Also, he can then take a copy thereof. Witness,
ADR: VERMEULE, Secretary.
It was a disturbing question to Bogert, who had drawn lot No. 25, adjoining his farm, and which now seemed to be menaced. Not to rely wholly on the deed given him March 21, 1701, he took occasion to fortify himself by another from Joost Van Oblinus, the surviving Nicolls patentee, dated February 14, 1702, and still another from the town trustees, September 14, 1706, soon after which he sold out to Benson. The question was not put to issue during the lifetime of the latter, but enough of uncertainty hung over it to make Benson unwilling to pay quit rent on that part of his farm. After Samson Benson came in possession. Delamon- tanie entered an action of ejectment in the Supreme Court of the Province, October 5, 1723. which came to trial at New . York, November 29. following, in the name of John Simson, "on the dlemise of Montanye." against Samson Benson. Lewis Morris, Chief Justice. and Robert Walters. Second Justice, presided. The best counsel were employed on both sides. Defendant confessed lease, entry, and ouster .* Delamontanie had clothed himself with due power in the premises, by deeds obtained from his elder brother. John, and several other of the co-heirs.
