1657 Map of New Netherland, portion showing Long Island [4]
1632/33 "Eliah the sonne of Frauncis Doughtye" was baptized on "February the 24" at Rangeworthy, Gloucester. "Fr. Doughtie Curat de Rang. predict" is written at the bottom of the page of the parish register. At the top is written, "A note of all such persons names as were Baptized Wedded and Buried in the Rangery Anno Dom 1632." [1] [2] [3]
Elias Doughty lived in Flushing on Long Island. A map of New Netherland was published by Jan Jansson in the 1650s. A similar map, based on Jansson's map, was published by Nicolaes Visscher in the mid 1680s. The following portions from Jansson's and Visscher's maps show Flushing as "vlishingen" on the northern shore of Long Island.
1657 Elias Doughty signed the Flushing Remonstrance, written on December 27. [Transcription] The people of Flushing wrote the Remonstrance against the Dutch Director-General's law against Quakers. The Remonstrance established the authority of the Golden Rule over the authority of the Dutch Director-General of New Netherland, Peter Stuyvesant, as the basis for allowing people of all religions (including Quakers) to come and go in Flushing, Long Island. [6] Tobias Feake, the Schout, delivered the remonstrance to the Director-General on December 29. Stuyvesant orderd the arrest of Feake and summoned Edward Hart of Flushing to answer questions about those who had signed the Remonstrance. [7]
c 1658-60 Elias Doughty and Sarah were married in Flushing, Queens County, New York. [8] [9]
1663 A court case described the defence of property in Flushing by Elias Doughty, Richard Cornell, Joris Wolsey, and Carel Van Brugges against two men from a ship. [10]
Court Proceedings, May 4, 1663. Hendrick Janzen (Cooper) of the ship Purmerland Church, now a prisoner, acknowledged that he with Jasper Abrahamzen, committed great violence at Rendel Huit's house and forced his wife to give them to eat; they proceeded to Joris Wolsey's house and demanded drink, so that Wolsey & Ely Douty & Ritzert Cornewell had enough to do to put them out, then they went to Carel Van Brugge's house and demanded drink, and continued their violence in a manner indecent to be mentioned, so that Carel & Douty & Ritzert Cornewell [Richard Cornell] had enough to do before they could get them out, not without tearing a flap or fall of his unmentionables, which they removed in the shoving out of his body.
1664/65 On March 1, Elias Doughty and Richard Cornell [Cornhill], as representatives of Flushing, Long Island, met with the governor of New York at Hempstead for a three day conference. The deputies signed a letter to the Duke of York expressing gratitude for being given a share in self-government. [11] [12] [13] [14] "March 1, 1665 [1664/5], a convention was held at Hempstead under authority of the English governor ... Delegates ... Flushing. Richard Cornhill and Elias Doughty." [15] [Photocopy] Elias Doughty represented Flushing.
1665 A letter dated March 27 to "Mr. Elias Doughty, Constable of fflushing," from M. Nicolls, at the command of the governor, instructed Doughty to appoint a court to consider the case of Hanah Bradish who disposed of the estate of Joseph Langton, although she was not married to him. [16]
1666 Elias Doughty was one of twenty-one patentees named in a patent of confirmation from Governor Nicoll for the town of Flushing, New York. Richard Cornell was also one of the patentees. Dated February 16. [17]
1666-1672 Elias Doughty purchased lands in Yonkers from Hugh and Mary O'Neal (Mary was a sister of Elias Doughty). [18] [19] The purchase by Elias from O'Neal was subsequently mentioned in a Royal Charter by William and Mary, dated 1693, regarding the town of Yonkers. [20]:
On October 30, 1666, twenty-two days after the procurement of the Nicolls patent, it was conveyed to Elias Doughty, of Flushing, Mrs. O'Neale's brother—a conveyance which was further and finally perfected May 16, 1667.
The new proprietor very soon began to receive and accept offers for portions of the estate. In March and September, 1667, he sold to John Archer, of Westchester, "fourscore acres of land and thirty acres of meadow," in the vicinity of the present Kingsbridge, "lying and being betwixt Brothers River and the watering place at the end of the Island of Manhatans." This was the beginning of a new manorial estate—the second of our country in point of antiquity. Doughty also sold, July 6,1668. to William Betts and George Tippett, his son-in-law (for whom Tibbet's Brook is named), about two thousand acres, reaching from the Hudson to the Bronx, with its southern boundary starting just below Kingsbridge and above Archer's lands, and its northern passing through Van Cortlandt Lake along the north side of " Aran der Donck's planting field." About the same time (June 7, 1668), for the value of a horse and £5, Doughty conveyed to Joseph Hadden some three hundred and twenty acres directly north of Van der Donck's planting field, lying in unequal parts on both sides of Tibbet's Brook. In 1670 he sold a tract one mile square tstill called "the Mile Square"), bordering on the Bronx River, to Francis French, Ebenezer Jones, and John Westcott. And finally, on the 29th of November, 1672, all that remained of the Yonkers Land was disposed of in equal thirds to Thomas Delaval, Thomas Lewis, and Frederick Philipse.
1666 Thomas Hicks obtained a patent for land in Madnans Neck, which was divided into equal thirds (and some common land) with Elias Doughty and Richard Cornell. Elias Doughty sold his share to William Haviland. [21]
The Humble Petigon of William Haviland
Sheweth.
That your Excellences Petrs Brother in Law Capt Thomas Hicks did in the yeare 1666 obtaine a patent from Governour Nicolls for a certaine neck of Land called Madnans Neck within the Limitts of the towne of Flushing the which by consent & agreement was divided into equall thirds between him Mr Richard Cornell and Mr Elyas Doughty.That presently after the settlement being twelve years ago (the Petr bought Mr Doughtys interest in his third of the sd Land and hath inhabited thereupon) or part thereof ever since but finds himself encroacht upon by his neighbours Mr Cornell & Mr Hicks and is debarred by them of having his due proporcon of the thirds of sd neck so purchased by him there being only three Lotts laid out, besides their own accomodacon, and the rest left in comon which if divided might bee better improved. That your Pete hath often desired a division might be made of the sd neck so that each proprietor might know his share and proporcon the which hath been promist but hitherto delayed and neglected.
That now his neighbours Mr Cornell and Mr Hicks having settled their son in Law John Washborne on one of the three Lotts last laid out Mr Cornell is settling his other son in Law John Laurence on the Comons of sd neck upon pretence of purchase of other lands thereby which will bee much to the damage and prejudice of the Petr.
Hee therefore humbly prays your Excellency That a stop may bee put to the intended settlemt of the sd John Laurence in that place, & that some person or persons bee appointed to make an equall division of the sd neck between them, so that your Petr bee not frustrated of his Right and his Labour on sd Land.
And your Excellencys Petr shall Pray &c.
Will Haviland.
