Preface
The Records of the Town of Mamaroneck date from April 2, 1697—the day on
which the first Supervisor, Samuell Palmer, and other officials for the Town werechosen
"by the freeholders and inhabitants of the above said place." The Minute Book and other
documents are a little known treasure—unique as continuous record, save for the years
17761783, and as an original source of the social, economic, political and genealogical
history of our Town from 1697 to 1881.
In preparation for the Bicentennial in 1975, the Town Board sought a project that
would be of permanent value and a lasting memorial to the 200th Anniversary of
American Independence. The publication of our Town Records seemed an ideal choice.
It was our hope—and original plan—to publish this Book on the 315th Anniversary of
the Town on September 23, 1976.
Our purpose was to make these documents available m a reference source for the
use of historians, students and the general public and to recreate the minutes and records
exactly as they appear, with necessary interpretations of obsolete or undecipherable
words for the modern reader. A second, no less important, purpose was to preserve these
documents, since time and casual storage have taken their toll and each handling of the
originals results in further deterioration.
We were encouraged by the support that this proposal received from the
Bicentennial Committees of the Villages and from the Friends of the Larchmont
Library. Each of these groups designated funds to augment the appropriation made by
the Town Board for the publication of these Records. The interest and enthusiasm of
Burton C. Meighan and members of the Bicentennial Committee of the Village of
Mamaroneck; of Mrs. F. Warren Green and John Forrest, cochairmen of the
Larchmont Bicentennial Committee; and of Donald Oresman and Honors Dougherty
of the Larchmont Public Library, were instrumental in gaining this additional support.
But the key to the realization of this project was our great good fortune in finding a
local resident, Dr. Mary English, who was willing to undertake this task as a labor of
scholarship—and of love. Neither Dr. English nor the many other local residents who
were actively interested realized, in 1975, the ramifications of the project and the vast
amount of time that would be required in study and in poring over and interpreting the
original documents and the microfilms that have been made of them.
It is a tribute to Mary English that neither time, nor tide, nor many set -backs and
discouragements have caused her interest and dedication to flag. She has brought to this
work not only impeccable scholarship but a tremendous resource of training and
knowledge. Quite literally, she has devoted four years of her life to this transcription of
the Records of the Town. Dr. English has made a tremendous contribution—one which
will grow in value over the years as an irreplaceable source of information about the
people and the history of the Town.
In all of its various spellings, Mamaroneck and its residents, past, present and
future are forever indebted to Mary English. And no one is more in her debt, or more
grateful to her, than 1—since it is through her efforts that I have seen a dream come true!
Christine K. Helwig
Supervisor of the Town. 1969-1975
INTRODUCTION
The recorded history of Mamaroneck dates back to 1661, when an Englishman.
John Richbell, purchased the land on which Mamaroneck lies from the Siwanoy
Indians. The actual town government was established many years later in April, 1697•
when at a town meeting. Samuel Palmer was chosen the first supervisor by the
freeholders and inhabitants. Palmer was to be assisted by Captain James Mott, the
appointed assessor, Henry Disbrow, the new collector and surveyor of the highways and
William Palmer, the constable and recorder.
Throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, this general pattern of
government was to expand and to continue in an unbroken line with the one exception
of the seven year period of the Revolutionary War. 1776-1783. By the end of the
nineteenth century, it included more men and more offices, because of the growing size
and more sophisticated needs of the community. It was these men who formed the
policies and made the decisions that affected all who lived within the town's boundaries.
Fortunately, for the present Mamaroneck citizenry, as well as future generations.
these officials were very conscientious about recording their meetings and important
documents. Their records were written in long -hand and noted every detail whether
significant or not. The penmanship of the eighteenth century was generally even and
clear, usually with large flourishing letters at the beginning and sm IL close together
script at the bottom of the page. Curiously, as the nineteenth century progressed, the
styles of writing deteriorated, becoming sloppy, careless and very difficult to read.
Throughout, regardless of time or circumstance, the spelling was inconsistent and very
phonetical.
However, these documents whether misspelled or poorly written, became the sole
public record of the thriving community from the late seventeenth century to the end of
the nineteenth. Their importance for anyone interested in studying the history of
Mamaroneck was, and is, paramount.
This reference volume is composed of four divisions of manuscript documents:
first, the Town Record Book. 1756-1878: second, the Record (?f Slave Children Born in
Mamaroneck, since 1799: third, the Town Minute Book, 1697-1881: and fourth, a few
miscellaneous documents that were not formally included in the above, but are still a
part of the early records of the Town of Mamaroneck and worthy of note.
All of these documents are presently located in a vault in the Town Offices of
Mamaroneck. The first group of documents is bound in a large dusty volume called the
Town Record Book. This book contains indentures. bills of sale. highway surveys, and a
delicately tinted map of Mamaroneck dated 1811 and entitled "New York."
Unfortunately, the cover of this book which at one time was a strong sewn binding is
now falling apart and the previous pages of documents are loose and very brittle with
age. Even the most careful of researchers does this volume damage just by taking it off
the shelf. 1n transcribing the material for this volume, l have often made note that words,
dates and phrases are missing due to the page being worn away. Although it may often
make the text awkward or choppy in places, 1 have tried to be accurate so that scholars
may know the true condition of the manuscript.
The Record of Slave Children Bom in Mamaroneck is a small thin composition
book of very interesting beautifully scripted documents which include the names of the
slave children and their owners, their dates of birth, and their mothers'names. This short
4 4
vii
volume is in fair shape for a book so old, but parts of its pages are fast becoming fragile
with age.
The third section, the Town Minute Book, represents the oldest full collection of
continuously written public documents in the Town of Mamaroneck and in the State of
New York. This old collection of parchments is sewn into a heavy red leather binding
that is still sturdy and very smart looking. However, as you might suspect, the pages arc
also worn and much of the information on the edges of the pages has been lost. What
remains is a record of the minutes of the meetings of the town officials and the list of all
the town officers over the years. What could become tedious if read from start to finish,
instead becomes a valuable research tool if used properly to locate idividuals, families,
trends, political patterns and the growth of an active and very conscientious community.
The marks of the livestock for the members of the early community of Mamaroneck are
extremely interesting and appear irregularly throughout the book, to add to the
confusion of the reader.
The last section of this volume contains a few extra documents relating to town's
history that should be included in such a volume as this. Document Number I is a bond
issued by the Town of Mamaroneck that was pasted onto the inside of the bindingof the
Town Minute Book. It seems to have been a bit of an afterthought, not really a part of
the text of the Minute Book, yet important enough to have been preserved as par of the
town record. Documents 2 and 3 are small bits of brown faded paper in a small white
envelope that was attached to the Record of Slave Children. Because these two
documents are in such bad condition, they were photographed soon after and are
illustrated in this book.
This project of editing and transcribing these documents into book form was the
inspiration of Christine Helwig, former town supervisor. To preserve these documents
for future generations, she initiated the first phase of this project. On September 11.
1974, she arranged for the documents to be microfilmed by the New York State
Revolution Bicentennial Commission at the Town Clerk's office. I became interested in
the preservation of these valuable documents and began the second phase of the project
in August of 1975. Using the microfilm, 1 rephotographed each "take" of the film onto 8
1/2 by II sheets so that 1 could transcribe the script into my own rough draft.
Unfortunately, what looked to be a short and easy job, amounted to twelve hundred
pages of rephotographs, each developed individually through a wet copier. These twelve
hundred pages were xeroxed in the town offices and by the beginning of 1976,1 began to
transcribe the material. One year later, two volunteer typists miraculously transformed
this transcription into a typed rough draft.
During the transcription. I discovered that the microfilm had not clearly
reproduced any of the maps and diagrams included in the original books. Many of them
were drawn in such faded ink that the microfilm simply could not pick up this detail. In
addition, I also noticed that not all the documents were included on the film. To
compensate for this, the maps and diagrams and the extra documents were
photographed into slides to be reproduced into the illustrations that are included in the
book.
This volume is very easy to use as a reference work. The general index at the end
indicates exactly where one may locate a place or a name according to the general
pagination in the upper right hand corner. The numbers in the left hand margin
correspond to the page numbers in the original manuscript volumes. So that the reader
will know where one page of the original manuscript leaves off and another begins, an
has been marked after the last word on the page; any word or symbol following the r
marks the beginning of the new manuscript page so indicated in the left margin.
In the Town Minute Book. and the Record of Slave Children, there is some
complication regarding the numbers in the left hand margin. Some pages were not
marked at all and 1 have marked them within square brackets either by number or, as in
the case of the Town Minute Book, by letter, so as to have the reader informed that they
are consecutively placed.
There are many brackets or parentheses used throughout this book. The round
brackets ( ) correspond exactly to what is recorded in the documents themselves. The
square brackets [ ] mark the interjection of the editor for purposes of clarification. It was
very difficult to know exactly what needed clarification for the reader. I have used the
word [ sic] whenever there has been an obvious careless repetition of words. But 1 felt I
could not overuse this tool, and because there were so many mistakes in the original
documents I resorted to brief simple explanations within square brackets.
1 have tried to clarify some misspelled words by interjecting thecommon form used
today. Very often the same word was misspelled within the same document a few fines
apart. In this case. I have tried only to use the square brackets when 1 felt they were
absolutely necessary and not every time the word was misspelled. To have clarified every
misspelled word would have made the text too bulky.
There were other needs for clarification: words lost on the edge of the page; words
inserted above the lihe; words crossed out, repeated or those that were simply
undecipherable. These common occurrences are so noted throughout the volume very
often making the text unwieldy. But this rule is consistent: any square bracket
explanation refers to the words immediately previous to it.
Throughout the volumes of the originals, seals were often affixed to the page either
near the signatures or out in the margin. 1 have faithfully marked where these seals are
located, and in addition have marked a Qwhere it is so indicated.
This volume is not one which will read smoothly with regard to content. Entries
were often made in haste, and out of order and no attempt was ever made to correct it.
There are two outstanding examples of this type of entry: one concerns the manumission
records in the Town Record Book from page 181 to 197; the other refers to the listing of
the marks of livestock which begins on page 285 of the Town Minute Book and
continues on pages 311, 312, 320, 335 and so on throughout the book.
I hope that the material so recorded will be of some value to the researcher who has
the patience to sift it out. This will make the efforts of all those who worked so hard on
this project very worthwhile indeed.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
No volume such as this could have possibly been donealone. l wish to acknowledge
a debt of thanks to all who contributed in anyway, large or small, to the making of this
volume. My particular thanks go to the following people who sacrificed a great amount
of time in the interest of this community project: Christine Helwig, who conceived the
project; Joseph Vandernoot, who continued to maintain its momentum most
cooperatively; New York State Assemblymen Edward F.X. Ryan and John Perone.
who supported efforts to obtain a New York State grant to finance the printing of the
volume; the Friends of the Larchmont Library, and the Larchmont and the
Mamaroneck Bicentennial Committees, who most generously contributed funds
towards the completion of the project; the staff of the Mamaroneck High School
Library, particularly Eileen Brennan, who assisted in transforming the microfilm into
photographs; the AV staff of the Stephen B. Luce Library of SUNY Maritime College,
particularly Richard Corson and Gary Ris; Dr. Alice Eichholz, who compiled most of
the index; the many local historians in the area, particularly, Richard Ledderer and Lee
Beisel, who urged me to finish as soon as possible; and the many people in the Town
offices who never failed to cooperate inevery way no matter how outrageous the request.
To those with whom I have worked most closely, a special word of thanks: Honors
Dougherty and Donald Oresman of the Larchmont Library who offered complete
support and overwhelming encouragement even "in the worst of times"; Sherman
Totten who completed the photography of the maps and diagrams; Anne Hockman and
Ruth O'Connor who typed the rough draft; Lavinia Brewer, who xeroxed end less copies
of the original photographs of the microfilm; and, most recently, Eleanor Neumeister,
who typed the final copy most diligently.
Almost all of these people worked as volunteers, at no cost to the community.
Everyone was patient, hard-working and very generous, and no one ever lost their
temper, except me. The people of Mamaroneck can indeed be proud of this community
effort!

In case of the appeal of Aaron Palmer and others of Mamaroneck in the County of
Westcheser from the decission of of [sic] the Commissioners of said town in rel'wing to
form a third Destrict on the middle road between destricts I & 2. It appears that in
destricts N'" I. & 2. the total Number of children between 5 &. 16 is 259. that the total N°
atending the 2 schools is 129 not including 31 scholars in the new school house. It
appears also that owing to the inconveniance of sending to the otherschoolsa house has
been errected on the middle road and a school has been Kept therein for the 3last years.
by volentary contributions and without any share of the publick money: and that many
persons who subscribed for building the school house on the Midle road are opposed to
the formation of a New new [sic] destrict admiting at the same time by theire
contributions that the people in that neighbourhood required school destrict
accomodations other than those opposed by the two school houses previously erected. If
the erection of the school house was needed for the accomodation of that neighborhood
is it not just that the inhabitants should allso be benefited and aceomodated with an
equitable apportionment of the public money.
It is represented allso. that after withdrawing 56703 dollars of the assessed property
for the new destrict there will stand remain 84720 ["8" blurred] dollars in No I and
93 109.273 dollars of assessed property *in no. 2. It is therefore decided that a new destrict
be formed in compliance with the prayer of the applicants to be called destrict No. 3 and
to embrace the property described as now or recently ocupied by the following persons
Vir Aaron Palmer Benjamin Florence Richard Griffen Abraham Hall James Hall
William Hall Isaac Secord Thomas Foshay. Isaac Hall John Jorden Stephen Hall
