• Notes

  Although the inhabitants appear to have suffered much during the Revolution, they generally continued firmly attached to the interests of their country. In 1775 occurs the following to the Hon. Provincial Congress, from the subscribers, inhabitants of the manor of Fordham and West Farms, in the of Westchester, which “Humbly sheweth that we were summoned to appear at Westchester in order to choose officers, according to the resolution of the congress, it having been represented, as we understand, that there was not a competent number of men in our district to form a company, we therefore beg leave to inform you that the manor of Fordham and the West Farms have in the militia always been considered as a district by themselves, and that within their limits there are upwards of seventy men fit to bear arms, and that an attendance at Westchester upon the meeting of the company will be attended with great inconvenience to many of the inhabitants and therefore injurious to the service intended to be advanced; from which considerations your petitioners humbly pray the Hon’ble Congress will be pleased to order that the manor of Fordham and the West Farms have a company with themselves, and that they elect their own officers under such inspection as the Honorable Congress in their wisdom shall think best; and your petitioners shall ever pray.
