We are much indebted to John Remsen, town-clerk, for the facilities he has afforded us in searching the Records, and to Edward Willets, by whose kindness we were allowed to examine the Records of the Westbury Monthly Meeting, of which he is the Secretary. Be side these, and the papers belonging to our branch Of the family, we have, by' the courtesy Of our connections, had access to many interesting documents. We have extracted freely from all these sources, as being more interesting than any paraphrase that we could give, modernizing the spelling for the convenience of our readers, as well as our own, but in other respects adhering strictly to the originals. The wills are par ticularly characteristic and amusing. There are none on the Records later than 1700.
