De Lancey

Stephen De Lancey, a wealthy merchant, and patron of the church, with others became dissatisfied with the pastor.

Justice Pratt was appointed chief justice in the place of De Lancey.

In 1757 he took out the De Lancey, a brigantine, with fourteen guns, and made some more sensational captures.

The evening before, the Duke had written the despatches, and had inserted De Lancey as killed.

Etienne De Lancey, a Huguenot nobleman, built it as his homestead and occupied it for a quarter of a century.
