When the convention reassembled, the director and council immediately laid the above information before it. All further remonstrance to the West India. Company was now considered unnecessary, and the assembly proceeded to · deliberate on the measures proper to be adopted towards the Indians and the English towns. It was found useless to attempt to execute the orders of the Directors in regard to the latter. "The English rebels were as six to one ; and with aid from Hartford would easily overcome and massacre the few Dutch soldiers that could be brought against them." It would be impossible to subdue them. The province would be thrown at once into their hands, or delivered up a prey to the savages. These were disposed for peace, and the situation of the province rendered it desirable that a treaty be concluded, for it was discovered that the English of Connecticut were tampering with them .- O' Callaghan's Hist.

Philip Pietersen Schuyler.
PHILIP PIETERSEN SCHUYLER.
This was the first of the Schuyler family who settled in this country. He came from Amsterdam to America in 1650, and was married on the 22d December of that year, to · Margritta van Slechtenhorst, aged 22, daughter of the Di- rector of Rensselaerswyck, by Anthonie de Hooges the secre- tary of the colonie, " in presence of the officers both of Fort Orange and Rensselaerwyck, and of some of the principal inhabitants thereof." By this lady he had ten children, viz : Guysbert, Gertrude, (who married Stephanus van Cortland;) Alida, (who married, first, Rev. Nicholas van Rensselaer, second Robert Livingston ; ) Pieter, Brant, Arent, Sybilla, (died aged four weeks,) Philip, Johannes and Margritta. Peter Schuyler was the first mayor of Albany, John, the youngest son, held a captain's commission in 1690, when he led an expedition into Canada, and penetrated as far as La Prairie, being then only twenty-two years of age. He possessed great influence among the Indians, and is referred to frequently in La Potherie's History of North America. His grandson, General Philip Schuyler, occupies too high a place in the history of this state, to need further remark here. Philip Pietersen Schuyler died at Albany, on the 9th March, 1683-4, and was buried on the 11th of the same month in the church of that place, then situated at the junction of State street on Broadway. His will bears date Tuesday evening, 1st May, 1683, O. S .- O' Callaghan's Hist. N. Neth., II, 177.

And all this for the term of three years certain, commenc- ing when he shall have arrived in that country ; provided that the Patroon and Codirectors reserve to themselves to abridge the aforesaid term, and discontinue the service whenever it shall so please them, without being obliged to give any reasons, nor to convey back either him or his family.

J. VAN DE VEN, NOTARY.
Instructions drawn. up by Johan van Rensselaer, Patroon and Codirector of the Colonie called Rensselaers-wyck, for Gerrit Swart as officer of the said Colonie, according to which he shall, in all good faith, regulate himself.
Having arrived with God's help at the island of Manhat- tans, he shall proceed by the first opportunity to the Colonie, and report himself to Jan Baptist van Rensselaer, and make known unto him his quality, by exhibition of his Commis- sion and Instructions.
He shall, above all things, take care that divine worship shall be maintained in said Colonie, conformably to the re-
275
Commission of Gerrit Swart.
formed religion of this country, as the same is publicly taught in these United Provinces.
He shall, in like manner, pay attention that the Lord's day, the Sabbath of the New Testament, be properly respect- ed both by the observance of hearing the Holy Word, . as well as the preventing all unnecessary and daily labor on said day.
And whereas, it is a scandal, that the Christians should mingle themselves unlawfully with the wives or daughters of heathens, the officer shall labor to put in execution the placards and ordinances enacted or to be enacted against the same, and strictly exact the fines imposed thereby, without - any dissimulation.
He shall consequently be ex officio a party or attorney in all matters thereunto necessary, before our court of justice resident in the aforesaid Colonie, in which he shall have free access and seat, but no vote.
The conducting of all criminal suits, their institution, exe- cution, description and final prosecution, as he shall deem consistent with his recorded oath, shall therefore be in his name; it being well understood that he shall commence no suit relating to our jurisdiction, domain, or finance, except by order of our Commissaries.
And he shall prosecute no man criminally, or cause him to be apprehended unless on previous information, and this he shall not himself take except by order aforesaid, or un -. less he be on the spot when the offence is committed, and the delinquent be arrested in the act.
He shall in taking information, conduct himself honor- ably and uprighteously, and describe the affair with all circumstances most fully, in order to record in writing the clearest and purest truth concerning the same, as well the grounds of defence on the part of the prisoners and accused persons, as of their accusation, provided that what most par- ticularly relates to the service of the Patroonship be first of all inquired into.
He shall sedulously cause the placards, ordinances, reso- lutions, contracts and commands of the Patroon and Codi- rectors to be observed, and attend that nothing be done contrary thereto.
And in order that he may be more free in every regard, he shall not be allowed to accept any presents, pensions or
276
Commission of Gerrit Swart.
gifts from any person whatsoever, nor compound or agree in any criminal matter, but prosecute all according to law, and content himself with the fines and penalties which shall be. adjudicated to him.
He shall likewise take care that in matters entailing confiscation of life or property, the judges shall be qualified to the number of at least five, and also see that the same rule be followed whenever courts of criminal jurisdiction shall be held.
Copies of the judgments with the information either sent to, or taken and obtained by him, shall be forwarded hither in the first sailing ship, and all judicial acts shall be so recorded, that whoever need, may be able to be vindi- cated here.
Care shall also be taken that no prisoners confined with the knowledge of our Court aforesaid, shall remain long in jail at the expense of the colonie, without special cause, but they shall be prosecuted so expeditiously that their business shall be dispatched, and with that view, shall the Court aforesaid be advised as frequently as possible what prisoners are in custody at his instance or otherwise, and on "what charge.
In fine, he shall be holden to conduct himself always diligently and faithfully as a good officer is bound to do, on such stipend as is allowed by contract to him.
And for the better dispatch and discharge of this his office and duty, the Secretary of our Court shall draft the preparatory or introductory acts of information, and all other preceding matters and minutes in judicio, and more- over whatever shall be necessary for the performance of his office which we hereby order.
The sworn marshal appointed by the Commissaries, he shall also employ to serve all citations and summonses, in which he is not a party.
He shall further be bound to have these Instructions and Commission enregistered by the Secretary of the Commis- saries.
Finally, in all matters relating to his office not specified herein, and which cannot admit of delay, or await the Pa- troon's and Codirector's advice, he shall act on the resolve of the Commissaries and Court, and advise the patroon and

Co-directors thereof, by the first opportunity, so that suit- able order may be taken thereupon.
And all this provisionally, the Patroon and Co-directors reserving unto themselves, to augment, diminish, correct this Instruction according to circumstances, or therein otherwise order as shall be found proper. Thus done and concluded in Amsterdam, this 8th May, 1652.

INDIAN DISTURBANCES.
On the 7th June, 1663, the Indians made an attack upon the unsuspecting village of Esopus (Kingston), and de- stroyed the place, committing their accustomed barbarities. upon the inhabitants. The director and council, on receiv - ing intelligence of this catastrophe, dispatched forthwith Councillor de Decker to Fort Orange to raise volunteers, call out the Mohawks and Senecas, and finally obtain, if possible, a loan to aid the necessities of the government. A proclamation was next issued inviting the colonists in and around the Manhattans to enlist, who were further encouraged to come forward by the usual: promise of plunder, as well as by the assurance that every Indian, taken in the war, should be the prize of his captor. In addition to these, each volun- teer was to receive soldier's pay, a gratuity, ranging from four hundred to one thousand guilders if maimed, and be entitled to exemption from chimney tax and tithes for the term of six years. But, though General Stuyvesant visited Heemstede in person, and sent agents through the other villages, no more than half a dozen Englishmen enrolled themselves, the leaders of their towns having discountenanced the project. Treaties were again renewed with the River, tribes, and forty-six Marespink savages were engaged to accompany the troops to the Esopus. Captain Martin Kry- gier, an old and experienced officer, was placed in command of the expedition, under whom Lieutenants Pieter, W. van, Couwenhoven, Nicolas Stillwell, and Ensign Samuel Edsal also received commissions.
The news of the massacre caused no less a sensation, at, Beverwyck than at New Amsterdam ; for the inhabitants in that quarter were more exposed, by their frontier position, and the Senecas and Minquaas were now waging a bloody war. Efforts were, therefore, made to put Fort Orange in a thorough state of defence,1 and ancient treaties were re-

newed with the neighboring tribes; but so great was the alarm that the out-settlers fled for protection to the fort called Cralo, erected on the Patroon's farm at Greenbush, where they held, night and day, regular watch and ward. In this panic the country was abandoned or miles around. "No- thing," says Jeremias van Rensselaer in one of his letters," is talked of but war, for no one can distinguish friend from foe." -- O' Callaghan's Hist. New Netherland.
THE FUYCK -The earliest name of the hamlet which was gathered on the site of the city of Albany, is called in the Rensselaerswyck manuscripts, The Fuyck, or Beversfuyck, which signifies a hoop-net, and takes its name from the formation of the shore of the river. The earliest mention I have met, says Dr. O'Callaghan, of Beverswyck or Bever- wyck, as the name is indifferently written, was in a minute, dated 1634, the original of which was on a small, almost illegible scrap of paper which I found accidentally among the above manuscripts. That the Dutch continued to call Albany the Fuyck, long after the surrender of the country to the English, is evident from letters among the Rensselaers- wyck manuscripts. . " De huysen in de Fuyck " is an ex- pression in one of S. van Cortlandt's letters, dated N. Yorck, 20th April, 1681, as well as in several others of an anterior date.
In Dankers and Sluyter's Journal, published by the Long Island Historical Society, it is said that Albany " was for- merly named the Fuyck on account of two rows of houses standing there opposite to each other; which being wide enough apart at the beginning finally ran quite together like a fuyck." J There is now no conformation of any street that would answer to this description but Broadway between State and Steuben streets.
on a carriage. The village of Beverwyck was enclosed by a board fence, which was defended by three pieces of artillery loaned by Mr. Van Rensselaer in 1656, and placed on the church. Alb. Rec. VI, 388, 415, 416.

Form of Oath to the Patroon.
FORM OF OATH TO THE PATROON.
The following is the form of oath of allegiance to the patroon and co-directors, taken by the colonists. It is from a manuscript found by Dr. O'Callaghan among the papers in the patroon's office, and translated by him for his History of New Netherland.
"I, N. N., promise and swear that I shall be true and faithful to the noble Patroon and Co-directors, or those who represent them here, and to the Hon'ble Director, Commis- sioners and Council, subjecting myself to the Court of the Colonie ; and I promise to demean myself as a good and faith- ful inhabitant or Burgher, without exciting any opposition, tumult or noise ; but on the contrary, as a loyal Inhabitant, to maintain and support offensively and defensively, against every one, the Right and Jurisdiction of the Colonie. And with reverence and fear of the Lord, and uplifting of both the first fingers of the right hand, I say-So Truly help me God almighty."
This date, 15th July, 1649, hath Steven Jansen carpenter taken the Oath of allegiance from the hands of the Honor- able Director before the commissioners of the colonie. Wit- ness, A. de Hooges, Secretary.
23d Nov., 1651. Resolved, that all Householders and Freemen of this Colonie shall appear on the 28th day of November of this year, being Tuesday, at the house of the Honorable Director, and there take the Burgerlyke oath of Allegiance.

GAME .- The creeks running through the settlements, as well as the river in front, abounded with fish; the woods with deer and other game. Pike and sturgeon were caught in the Fourth, or Fox creek, and one of the latter could be bought for a knife. " The year before I came here," (1641), writes the Rev. Mr. Megapolensis, "there were so many turkeys and deer that they came to the house and hogpens to feed, and were taken by the Indians with so little trouble, that a deer was sold to the Dutch for a loaf of bread, or a knife, or even a tobacco pipe."-Hist. N. Netherland.
