    Notes:

    GILBERT WILLIAMS was born in Westchester County, N. Y., on March 5, 1796. His parents were Benjamin and Sarah (Lewis) Williams, and the family were early located in Westchester County being quite numerous at the breaking out of the Revolutionary war. The father of Benjamin Williams was Frederick, and his grandfather Stephen Williams, both of whom resided in Westchester County.

    The early life of Gilbert Williams, until the age of twelve years, was passed upon the paternal farm in his native county. In 1808 his father removed to the town of Newburgh, Orange Co., where he engaged in farming. Gilbert Williams during his boyhood served an apprenticeship as a blacksmith with Samuel Corwin. His schooling advantages were meagre. Frederick Williams, his grandfather, had removed to Nova Scotia, where he owned a large landed estate. Here young Gilbert repaired, by invitation, when about sixteen years of age, taking charge of his grandfather’s affairs, and inheriting at his death considerable property. With a portion of this he returned to Newburgh and purchased his father's farm, where he resided for twenty-one years. At the expiration of that time he bought his present farm, whereon he has since continued to reside.

    Major Robert Timpany accompanied by Captain Frederick Williams of Annapolis, founded Rossway in 1785. Having sailed in a sloop to Little Joggin, they followed the Indian Path to head of St. Mary's Bay, then down the shore to north side, and along Bay to their lands. The former located on farm now owned by Major Timpany, Esq.; while Mr. Williams selected the equally valuable tract William A. Hall, Esq. holds. Mr. Williams erected in 1788 on stream running through his property, the first Saw Mill built in the Peninsula.

    Frederick Williams of Throg's Neck, one of Delancey's most active captains, after the war filed with the “Commission of Enquiry into the Losses and Services of the American Loyalists,” a claim for damages and losses suffered. In this he mentions among other services that he took part in the attack on the Davenport house in Yorktown when Colonel Christopher Greene was killed. He says:

    “Neither your memorialist or his company ever demanded or received from His Majesty during the war Pay, Clothing, or Forage and although one half your memorialist's company were well appointed dragoons, the Government was never put to any expense in mounting or appointing them.”

    As he and all the members of his company were without means it is obvious that they must have supported, “mounted and appointed” themselves by marauding. The “Westchester Refugees” which at the end of the war consisted of 490 men, lived on the proceeds of plunder obtained in their native county. Late in the fall of 1777 Delancey was taken prisoner by a party of rangers under the command of Lieutenant Frederick Stephenson who surrounded his house at West Farms. Delancey was found hiding under a bed by Garret Dyckman and was completely crestfallen when ordered to come out. Stephenson compelled him to mount one of his own fine horses and getting up behind him carried him in that way to Connecticut. Notwithstanding many protests, the military exigencies of the time compelled the Americans to exchange him for an officer of corresponding rank and permitted the recreant sheriff to add to his sinister reputation.
