INTRODUCTION.
To rightly study history, to gain something more from
it than a mere knowledge of names and dates, in other
words to acquire a clear, comprehensive and just under-
standing of a given time and people, it is self-evident
the student should acquaint himself with the writers of
the age under examination and whenever possible with
original documents. It also behooves him to be con-
stantly on his guard, if he is indeed seeking truth, not to
communicate his ideas to the period he is studying: to
imagine the past is like the present, that the men of
the time were like those of to-day, having the same ideals,
the same manner of seeing and feeling, for if he does,
he will fall into deplorable errors of judgment, inexcus-
able mistakes by either overrating an epoch, giving it
virtues it never possessed, or on the other hand wrongly
taxing it with being ignorant or degenerate.
It is plain from the foregoing dicta that in order to
have a right conception, of the past, we must keep in
mind that the inconceivable to us may have been per-
fectly natural to the men of those times, that their souls
were of quite another temper from our own, and al-
though they viewed things differently and took pleasure
in what is now repugnant, nevertheless, they were in ac-
cord with the spirit of their age, were legitimate chil-
dren of its genius, and therefore must be judged accord-
ingly. It is the only safe and fair way to securely come
to a just knowledge of real beings in their real life
and growth and to analyze truthfully their actual lives.
In other words, if we wish to form a true and altogether
unbiased picture in our minds of the past we must
in our imagination live and converse wTith its men, be-

come one of them, moved by the same motives, seeing
all things from their point of view. In order to ac-
complish this somewhat difficult task: to call forth gen-
erations from the tomb and make them live again and
understand the propelling force of their actions, there is
no greater help than a studious perusal of contemporary
documents. And here, in this Old Town Records, we
have such a document. A rendition of New Rochelle's
seventeenth and eighteenth century public archives, the
originals of which are written in a mixture of English
and French, and evidently not by scholars; moreover this
transcription and the translations are not only erudite,
but are also conscientious, accurate and unabridged.
Indeed it is a valuable publication, one which must prove
of great interest to all intelligent citizens of New Ro-
chelle, to all those who care to obtain a true understand-
ing of the external everyday life of its first settlers, as
it will materially enable them to comprehend their spirit,
their feelings and the guiding principles of their religions,
civic and social life.
At the end of the seventeenth century, contemporary
with the settlement of New Roehelle, Europe had almost
recovered from the shock of the Reformation and its sub-
sequent relentless and often malevolent religious contro-
versies, but the persecutions, oppressions and wars they
provoked were still rife, and all this in opposition to
the general awaking in Central and Northern Europe to
the value of the arts, sciences and commercial industries :
the fruits of peace; and also in spite of the compelling
and adventurous spirit that was abroad to enter by trade
and travel into a greater intercommunication with men
of various nations; and above all contrary to the then
abiding and awaking desire found everywhere, among
all conditions of men, for enfranchisement from inherited
feudalism, co-existing with a growing belief in the doc-
trine of personal liberty, a foreshadowing as it were of
modern Democracy.
Introduction*. yn
In England James Stuart, when Duke of York and
afterwards in 1685 on becoming King, openly declared his
disapprobation of religious persecution, and used all his
influence, not only for the relief of oppressed Englishmen
of every faith, but also for the many Protestant refugees
who had fled from the religious and political perse-
cutions in France and Flanders, more particularly those
who sought an asylum in Great Britain and its colonies
from the persecutions which they suffered at the hands
of Louis XIV, when he revoked the Edict of Nantes in
1685, an edict which had been issued eighty-seven years
before by Henry IV in favor of his Protestant subjects.
This revocation by Louis, together with his attacks on
the Huguenots, Jansenists and Quietists was merely car-
rying to its logical conclusion his theory of absolutism
and belief in the divine origin of the royal power,
spurred on by his enormous egotistical bigotry, and not
because of his religious faith.
Although most of these refugees known as Huguenot,
a name imported into France from Geneva and first used
as a term of reproach, a word of doubtful etymology,
but probably derived from the German eidgenoss: an
oath-fellow, a confederate, were honest men and women,
industrious and skilful artisans, nevertheless they were
not received with feelings of pity or regarded with favor
by their fellow Protestants in England. John Bull in
the seventeenth century always objected to the presence
of foreigners, believing as he did that England had much
to fear from foreign ambition, so took good care to keep
them and all strangers from over the sea under the
watchful eye of the parochial authorities, enrolling them:
their name, place of birth, age, occupation and residence.
As early as 1630, after the fall of La Kochelle, the last
Protestant place of refuge in France, Maltravers, Earl
of Arundel and Surry, thought to utilize these foreigners
dwelling in England by making them colonists, and with
their assistance establish a feudal principality in Amer-
vni Introduction.
ica, south of Virginia. A settlement to that end was
attempted, under the leadership of one Captain Sauce,
a Huguenot adventurer, but in the end the venture
proved a failure. Later, however, many Huguenots
found permanent homes in the American colonies. After
the revocation of the Edict of Nantes more than two
hundred families, fleeing from the religious bigotry of
King Louis, reached New York and were welcomed by
its inhabitants. It was a propitious time, as the then gov-
ernor : Col. Thomas Dongan, a broadminded gentleman
and an able diplomat, had just proclaimed by proclama-
tion, under the authority and by direction of the Duke
of York, religious toleration to all, which Charter Liber-
tics was confirmed by the first elected legislative body of
the colony (Oct. 17, 1683) and upon which are based all
of the later Constitutions of the State of New York.
Nineteen or twenty years before the coming of the
Huguenots to New York, when Col. Richard Nicholls
was governor, there was living at Fairfield, Conn., Mr.
Thomas Pell, at one time "Gentleman of the bedcham-
ber" to King Charles I, a son of the Rev. John Pell, in-
cumbent of Southwyck, in the County of Sussex in
England, who appeared before the Court of Assize at New
York on Sept. 29, 1665, and claimed that he had bought
in the year 1654 certain lands from the Indians, and
he asked that this purchase and his title to the same be
confirmed by letter patent. In compliance with his re-
quest there was issued to him on the 8th day of October,
1666, a Royal Patent giving him the ownership of the
lands he claimed were his and afterwards known as
Pelham Manor: a tract to the Eastward of Westchester
bounds, bounded to the Westward with the river called
by the Indians, Acjucouncke, commonly known by the
English, by the name of Hutchinson's river, which run-
neth into the Bay lying between Throckmorton's neck
and Ann Hooks neck, commonly called Hutchinson's
Bay, bounded on the East, by a brook called Cedar Tree
Introduction. ix
Brook or Gravelly Brook, on the South by the sound
which lyeth between Long Island and the main land, with
all the islands in the Sound, not already granted or other-
wise disposed- of, lying before that tract of land so bound-
ed as is before expressed, and northwards, to run into the
woods about eight English miles in breadth as the bounds
to the Sound.
Upon the death in 1669 of Thomas Pell his nephew be-
came the next proprietor of Pelham Manor, in accord-
ance with the will of his uncle, where he says—/ doe
make my nephew, John Pell, living in ould England, the
only sonne of my only brother John Pell, Doctor of
Divinity, which he had by his first wife, my whole and
sole heire of all my lands and houses in any parte of New
England, or in ye territoryes of ye Duke of Yorke.
This John Pell, a young* bachelor, well educated, and
probably an attorney-at-law, lost no time in taking pos-
session of his inheritance, for it is of record he arrived
in Boston in the Fall of 1670 and in Fairfield, Con-
necticut, before the end of the year, but just the date of
his advent at Pelham Manor is not known. His bachelor-
hood must have been very sweet to him, as he did not
marry until 1681 in his 41st year, taking for his wife
Rachel Abigail, the youngest daughter of his near neigh-
bor Philip Pinckney, Esq., one of the first patentees of
Eastchester. He took an active part in all public matters,
and for some years was Judge of the Court of Common
Pleas for Westchester County. Fifteen years before his
death, which occurred by drowning while he was sailing
in his pleasure boat off City Island in 1702, he obtained a
Royal Patent, dated the five and twentyeth day of Octo-
ber, in the third year of the Kinge Majesty e's reigne,
(James II.) and in the year of the Lord one thousand
six hundred eighty-seven, confirming him in his right to
The Lordship and Manor of Pelham. And in the follow-
ing year "for a valuable consideration" he and his wife
Rachel conveyed to Jacob Leisler of New York, merchant,
x Introduction.
all that tract of land in the Manor Pelham (now called
New Rochelle) containing six thousand acres, also one
hundred acres of land for the use of the "French church
erected or to be erected by the inhabitants'' of New
Rochelle. Jacob Leisler on his part agreed that he, his
heirs and assigns would present "on every four and
twentieth day of June, yearly and every year forever if
demanded" by John Tell and his heirs, one fat calf,
as an acknowledgment of the manorial lordship.
This Jacob Leisler, commissioned by the French
Huguenots to obtain the above named land for their use:
for those in New York and for their fellow refugees to
arrive from Europe and elsewhere, and also for those
already settled upon it, viz: the Cothonneau, Allaire,
Fourrestier and other families, was a well to do and
rich merchant, a man of French ancestry but born in
Germany, a staunch Calvinistic Protestant and a pro-
nounced Anti-Jacobin, with strong democratic tendencies.
Hence he was very popular with the common people, who
were bitterly opposed to the Dutch and English govern-
ing classes, and who not only made him Mayor of New-
York but also Governor of the Province. His end however
was a sad one, as he was hung as a traitor, a catastrophe
brought about by the connivance of the aristrocratic
Van Cortlandts and Bayards, although he was allied
to them by marriage. This execution took place a
year after he had released to the Huguenots the last
parcel of land purchased for them from John Pell,
hence their titles were not affected by the confiscation of
his possessions by the government at the time of his
death.
The publication of these original and early records of
New Rochelle will be of the utmost value to both students
of local and state history, presenting as they do a picture
truly characteristic of the times in which they were
written ; and further these texts of bygone days will prove
of deep interest to every one living in New Rochelle,
Introduction. xi
as they will give them not only the pleasure of getting
back for a while into the days of the founders of the city,
a time when there was more honesty in life than in this
age of wanton luxury, although the human heart beat
as passionately then as now, but will also enable them to
arrive at a fuller realization of the phenomenal changes
that have taken place since the first settlement of New
Kochelle; in no particular more so, than its having
grown from a small hamlet inhabited by a people of one
religions faith, nurturing exclusively a form of Calvinism
of the strictest sort, into a large city populated by people
of every faith and no faith, yet, held indissolubly to-
gether by a bond of charity so broad it will not allow one
citizen to be estranged from another because of religious
differences. It can be truthfully said that New Rochelle
of to-day, because of this spirit of toleration and in union
with a sterling Huguenot leaven, is a city of peace, where
the people of every nationality, religious belief and
political creed are united in a common endeavor to make
it a moral and law abiding community.
It is to be hoped that the publication of these Domestic
State Papers wTill lead to other manuscripts and docu-
ments which are now preserved in public and private
hands seeing the light and being issued in an equally as
permanent form.

Province of Xew York — I, Ambroise Sicard, living in the
said place of Xew Rochelle, considering that there is noth-

uncertain, have wished, so as to keep good peace and family
harmony between Ambroise Sicard, my oldest son; Daniel

dren and daughters, to declare my last will relating to
the little property which it has pleased God to give me, and
as I want them and desire them to divide it among them-
selves after the Lord will have recalled me from this world
to join Him, according to my hope. In the first place,
I so will and desire that my son, Ambroise, shall have
forever for himself and his heirs the house in which he
now dwells, with five acres of land adjoining it, besides
the two thirds of 95 acres of land which I acquired of
Guillaume le Conte and will take these two thirds on one
end to the salt meadows ; on the other to the lands of Pel-
etreau from one side to the lands of Guillaume le Conte
and the other to the other third of my said land, on which
third there will be allowed to him a passageway of the

Sicard, shall have for himself and his heirs the house in
which I am now dwelling, with the eighty acres of land
which belong to it, as I have acquired them of the late
Mr. Pelletreau, and that in the most part in compensa-
tion for my work. Thirdly, I so will and desire that my
son, Jacques Sicard, shall have for himself and his heirs

testament and declaration of my last will, in the following
form.
In the first place — I commend my Soul to God, Creator
and Saviour of the World; imploring Him to receive me in
His favour through the merits of the precious blood of
Our Lord and Redeemer, Jesus Christ.
Secondly, I ask of my wife, Anne Martin, if she sur-
vives me, to bury my body in suitable simplicity.
Thirdly — I declare as absolute truth that my said wife
and myself, arriving in this place of New Rochelle, desti-
tute, and having nothing but our hands to earn our bread,
we have worked by the sweat of our brow to establish and
erect the house in which we now live, and plough and enclose

goods and cattle of all kinds which are in this said place of
New Roehelle, as well as in the place of New Oxford,
where we previously lived, in New England. Giving full
power to my said wife, by these presents, as guardian and
trustee of my children, who, at my death, will still be
young, and praying my said children to obey and assist her
as it is their duty. In testimony of faith I have had the
above written in presence of witnesses undersigned the

have any claim on arry house or orchard which would be
on the said lands according to the contract in writing
passed in the Town the 2nd of December, 1708, between
the lots of the east and the west and, in the second place

CES BETWEEN LANGEVIN AND SUIRE— 1713
The 16th Jan, 1713, the Sieur Zacharie Langevin and
the sieurs Pierre Berthin and Isaac Das, son, have come
to have registered on the Record of New Rochelle what
follows, viz : That the said Sieur Zacharie Langevin, in
presence of the said Srs Pre, Berthin and Isaaq Das, son,
went to the widow Suire, asking her to fence between the
Sieur Langevin and herself or, better still, would she
not prefer to pay him for the fences.
To which the said Suire answered that she did not
want to fence and that the fences belonged to her; upon
what her son-in-law asked him to wait until the
fences were built and that he would fence and as since
then they have not settled the matter the Sieur Langevin,
in presence of the said Sieurs Berthin and Das have
again, this day, 16th of January, 1713, gone to the said
Suire to tell her to fence or to pay for the fences she
answered him she would not do it until the fences were
rotted, and as the said fences all belonged to the said
Langevin he told her that if it were not done in three
months from this day he would take down the fences so
as to have their land in common, upon which she an-
swered, she defied him to do it and that she had bought
with the land the fences that were upon it for a distance
of 10 to 11 panels which the seller of the land told her
belonged to the said Langevin; also the said Aman
Guion, her son-in-law, said to the sd Langevin that in
reference to the middle fence, which was in the middle
of the land of the said Suire and which also belonged
to the said Langevin, he would give her an answer in
86 New Rochelle Town Eecords.
a few days, which he only did this 16th day of Janu-
ary when he told her that he had bought every thing.
This day, the 25 of January, 1713-14 we, the under-
signed, Charles Fourrestier and Pierre Langevin, have
decided together that for the land, that, I, Charles Four-
restier, must have on the edge of the water on the land

forty and three acres of land in standing-wood which

of Mr. Isaacq Mercier, living in said New Rochelle and
twenty one acres that my late husband and I had pur-

on which I now live, containing about twenty-nine
acres of land with the houses, orchards and all the build-
ings which are on it, and as the property is not suf-

is that if my children above named sell it, that the one
among them who wants to buy it shall enjoy it on con-
dition that he pay to each one of his said brothers
and sisters their just and equal portion as soon as sold,
and in case any of the said Pierre, Estienne, Ambroise,
Elizabeth, Magelane, Judith, Marthe, Jeanne and Marie
Ladou do not want it and that my son, Daniel Ladou,

else who prefers it, he shall pay to each of his brothers

but by his grace, sound of mind and judgement and
knowing that there is nothing more certain than death
and nothing more uncertain than the hour of it, and
wanting to dispose of the little property that God has
given me : I desire, by this present deed of writing, which
shall serve as testament and of my last will, that my
cousin, Charles Fourrestier, shall be given the sum of
one hundred pounds, current money of York, that
Thomas Petit, of New Town, on Long Island, must pay
me the first of May of this present year for the land
which I sold him and he may enjoy it as he chooses, but
must pay the interest each year to Judith Fourrestier,
my wife, during her lifetime, after which, the said in-
terest shall be paid to the children of Catherinne Four-
restier, widow of the late Pierre Fourrestier, my son,
and to the children of Jeanne Form, my daughter, and
of Elizabeth Vanvlacq also my daughter, to each, by
thirds each year and when my said cousin, Charles Four-
restier, shall want to return the said sum of one hun-
dred pounds, current money of York. I so will and
desire that it be divided in thirds to the said children of
the said widow Fourrestier, Jeanne Forin and Elizabeth
Vanvlacq.
Be it understood, that if the said Charles Fourrestier
and his wife should die that their heirs cannot enjoy said

Agreeable to the Resolve of the Town of New Rochelle

New York April 10th 1824
Dear Sir
After some delay we have obtained the acct of the
executors of Henderson, They admit to have reed in all
|16885 .75 They have paid 85 percent on all the legacies
except from the Town house of New Rochelle and for
Elizabeth the mother for the former they have retained
in their hands $1020 for the latter $2040 being in each
case 85 prcent on the sum bequeathed
It does not appear that they have put any of this
money out at interest.
the Balance in their hands they make $270.38 as their
New Rochellei Town Records. 439
acct contains a great many items of Expenditures for
the estate with the propriety of which we are inac-
quainted we have thought it better to have you see it
before we proceed further before the master and there-
fore request, (if you think it important) that you will
come down the first convenient opportunity, we are
aware that the great question is wether Elizabeth's
Legacy should not be appropriated towards paying the
other legacies in full she being in all probability dead
long Since and we shall inforce this point most
streniously, but it may be necessary for us to offer
proof that the executors have not been able to hear
of her and that it is in fact a lapsed legacy we. shall
want your answer & remain respectfully etc
