A patent confirming those Indian grants to the inhabitants was signed, by Governor Nicolls March 13, 1666. The municipal history of Gravesend began almost with its settlement. In 1646 the first three "approved honest men" elected as Justices were George Baxter, Edward Brown & William Wilkins; Sergeant James Hubbard was elected Schout & John Tilton (who had accompanied Lady Moody from New England) was chosen to be Town Clerk. All these elections were approved by the Governor. To take another instance, we extract an Indian deed for the surrender of Barren Island in 1664 from Stiles's History of Kings County: Know all men, etc., that we, Wawmatt Tappa & Kackawashke, the right & true proprietors of a certain island called by the Indians Equendito & by the English Broken Lands, in consideration of two coats, one kettle, one gun, one new trooper-coat, ten fathoms of wampum prage, 3 shirts, 6 pounds of powder, 6 barrs of lead & a quantity of Brandie wine, already paid unto us by John Tilton, sen. & Samuel Spicer, of Gravesend, L. I., Do &c., sell &c., the said Island called Equendito &c., with all our right both of upland & marshes any way belonging thereto, as the Straun Beach or Beaches, as namely that running out more westerly, with the Island adjoining & is at the same time by the ocean sea wholly inclosed, called Hoopaninak & Shanscomacocke & macutteris, as also all the harbors &c., to the said John Tilton & Samuel Spicer excepting only to ourselves the one-half of all such whale-fish that shall by wind & storms be cast upon the said Island. In witness whereof we have set our hands this 13 day of the 3 month, called May, Anno, 1664. . RELIGIOUS PERSECUTIONS: In August, 1675, a boat arrived in New York Bay from New England, having on board 11 Quakers who had been expelled from that colony. Two of them, women, as soon as they landed in New Amsterdam, began preaching on the streets to the astonishment & disgust of old Peter Stuyvesant, a straight-laced, single-minded supporter of the Dutch church. He did not understand the Quakers' theology. he Quaker visitors soon scattered in pursuance of their mission to disseminate their doctrines, but at least one of them, Robert Hodgson, went to Long Island & as he journeyed held conventicles by the way. He was arrested for this at Hempstead & promptly lodged in jail, along with 2 women who had entertained him in their home. Stuyvesant at once ordered the 3 prisoners to be sent to New Amsterdam, where he seems to have released the women after giving them the supreme benefit of a piece of his mind. Hodgson, however, was to feel the full force of the ire of the doughty Governor. He was sentenced to 2 years' imprisonment at hard labor or pay a fine of 600 guilders. Such a fine was beyond his power to liquidate & he was quickly put to the alternative. Chained to a wheelbarrow, he was ordered to work, but refused & was thereupon lashed by a negro until he fainted. He remained in prison for some months, scourged at frequent intervals until insensibility rendered the infliction of further pain unnecessary & was humiliated in many ways. The cruelty practiced toward him was brutal in the extreme & its effects were threatening even his life. Then from sheer pity at his awful condition the Governor's sister interposed on his behalf & he was released, under a new sentence of banishment from the province. The Governor seems never to have lost his enmity to the Quakers. Prosecutions were accordingly directed from time to time against William & John Bowne, Henry Townsend, John Townsend, Samuel Spicer, John Tilton, William Noble, Edward Hart & Edward Feake, all of whom openly confessed their adherence to the doctrines of the Quakers. Most of these (including Spicer, Tilton & the Bowne family) were residents of Gravesend. . The case of John Tilton & his wife, Mary, is also interesting. Tilton settled in Gravesend at the same time as Lady Moody & probably accompanied her from New England, where doubtless he got his first impressions of the doctrines of the Friends, the "abominable sect," according to Stuyvesant, "who vilify both the political magistrates & the ministers of God"s holy Word." Tilton & his wife were arrested October 5, 1662 & lodged in the prison at Fort Amsterdam. They remained in durance vile for a few days, when they were brought before the Council, found guilty of entertaining Quakers & attending conventicles & ordered to leave the province before the 20th of November following, under the alternative penalty of being publicly whipped. Their sentences seem to have been remitted, however, probably through the influence of Lady Moody, for Mary Tilton continued to reside at Gravesend until her death, May 23, 1683 & John Tilton also maintained his home there until he, too, passed away, in 1688. He was, we take it, a man of deep religious sentiment & so continued to the end, most probably becoming more & more devoted to Quakerism as the time went on, for by his will, which he had drawn up about a year before his death, he bequeathed a piece of land as a burial ground "for all persons in ye everlasting truth of the Gospel." In many ways the most notable of all Stuyvesant's experiences with Quakers lay around the case of John Bowne, of Flushing, not only because the extreme measure which he adopted showed the malignancy of his feelings toward these people, but because it brought down upon him, what he probably felt more keenly than he could any other form of misfortune, a clear-cut rebuke from his home Government & the nullification of the sentence he imposed. . The WILL of JOHN TILTON dated Jan. 15, 1657, in which he devised land "for all persons in ye Everlasting truth of ye gospel as occasion serves for ever to have & to hold & to make use of to bury their dead there."' It is thought that the land thus deeded adjoined the original burying ground & Tilton's bequest was in reality an addition & at once incorporated within its boundaries. It was probably part of the original lot, which Tilton received when he settled at Gravesend with Lady Moody. The oldest stone extant now bears the date of 1676 & many of the inscriptions discernible are in Dutch. From the formation of Greenwood Cemetery the Gravesend burial ground began to fall into disuse & interments in it have now practically ceased. [c. 1900.] - - - | TILTON, John Sr., Patentee (I794)

A WALKER As a proportion of the population Walker is most numerous in the Teesside area of County Durham. It is also found in large numbers around Leeds & Wakefield. There is no evidence that the Walker surname originated on Teesside, but it undoubtedly a northern name. Notably, one of the most famous Walkers was John Walker of Stockton on Tees who invented the friction match in 1827. As early as 1260 the surname Walker is recorded in Yorkshire where the Assize Rolls mention a Robert le Walker. Le Walker - 'the Walker' is a clue that this was an occupational name, as Walker is one of a number of surnames connected with the cloth making process. A Walker scoured & thickened raw cloth by beating it in water. This was originally done by men who trampled or literally walked on the cloth in a trough - hence walker. In Durham we find a small street called Walkergate, which was the street of the cloth workers who worked at a mill near the River Wear. An alternative name for the walking process was fulling & this has given rise to Fuller, a surname more commonly found in the south & midlands. Another name for a fuller was a 'tucker' deriving from an Anglo-Saxon word 'Tucian' - 'to torment'. The surname Tucker is primarily associated with south west England. Other cloth working surnames include Webster and Weaver, who wove the raw cloth before it was fulled. After fulling the Teasler was set to work removing lose fibres from the cloth using the Teasel Thistle. This has given rise to the surnames Tazelaar and Tesler. Finally the cloth was dyed by the Dyers who were known in the north as Litsters from the Scandinavian word Litt - to dye. This final process has produced the surnames Dyer & Lister. A smith is of course a someone who works in metals and the root of the name in England seems to be the Anglo-Saxon word Smitan meaning 'to strike'. Most people called Smiths are descended from someone who worked as a blacksmith, although the variation Smythe can also mean someone who lived near a Smith's forge. The surname Whitesmith, means a worker of tin, Brownsmith, a worker of copper or brass & Goldsmith a worker in Gold. Greensmith is a surname most closely associated with the Midlands and is a nickname for a coppersmith, Sixsmith is a maker of sickles, Arrowsmith is a maker of arrows & Shoesmith is a farrier, that is a maker of horseshoes.

John Langstaff, one of 8 siblings, was born 1774 in Piscataway in the British New Jersey colony that would later become part of the United States. He came to this area in 1808. He married Lucy, daughter of Abner Miles of Miles Hill later to become Richmond Hill. Langstaff took over his father-in-law's land at the site of toll gate number 3 on the Yonge Street Highway, two side roads south of Richmond Hill. The land was located on the northeast corner of the intersection later to become Yonge Street & Langstaff Road. . Initially, Langstaff taught in the first area school. In all, John & Lucy had 8 children. . On the call to arms for the Militia, all available men in the Miles' Hill (Richmond Hill) area, mustered at the farm of James Fulton & were inspected by General Brock himself & formed into a company of the 1st Regiment of York Militia, with John being named one of four Sergeants. John reported to his brother-in-law Lieutenant James Miles & in turn to the Captain John Arnold another brother-in-law. No records survive to indicate any promotions for Langstaff during the War. . During the War of 1812 the York Militia was engaged with General Brock at Fort Detroit & then Queenston Heights. As the war continued, they saw action at Fort Niagara, Chippewa, Lundy Lane & Fort Erie.
