On the 9th of September, 1669, at a council before Governor Lovelace, it was ordered that the garrison at Esopus be disbanded and dismissed of their military employment. It was also ordered that a commission … go up to Esopus to regulate the affairs of the place and "of the New Dorp."
This commission commenced their sessions on the 17th of September, 1669, and closed their labors on the 29th of that month. … On the 25th of September they passed an ordinance changing the name of the town from Sopus and Wiltwyck to Kingston …
The commissioners located the sites for the two new villages. The farther one they called Marbletown, from the character of the stone abounding there; and the nearer one, having been heretofore frequently referred to as "New Dorp," they called Hurley …
Separate lots in the twon new villages were to be allotted to the disbanded soldiers. …
The commissioners appointed Christopher Beresford as chief magistrate of Hurley and Marbletown, and Henry Pawling officer over the Indians. Louis Du Bois and ALbert Heymans were appointed overseers for Hurley, John Biggs and Frederick Hussey for Marble Town, and Thomas Chambers and William Beeckman for Kingston.

[9]
