ANCIENT ROADS
I’m hoping someone who is acquainted
with the area will help us get all these roads and farms straight!
C. M. Woolsey, in his “History of the
Town of Marlborough”, states that the oldest road in the Town of Marlborough is
the “KING’S HIGHWAY” on the west side of Hudson’s River, running from New York City to the NORTH to
Albany. Later it was known as the “POST
ROAD”, although on later maps the ‘Post Road” seems to be further West of the
River. The mail and newspapers, etc.,
were carried along this road until it became cheaper to send them on the
Steamers that plied the Hudson River.
The lateral roads running EAST to WEST crossed this road at various
points along its course through the Town of Marlborough. It is now is, roughly, “9W” or “218”.
You can find many of these places on Google Maps (or others). Type in Ulster County, or Lattintown, or
Marlborough, or Plattekill, etc.
There appears to have been two roads,
one called the “Lattin Town Road” and the other the “Platter Kill Road”. These were certainly the oldest roads . . .
1743 . . . . in the Township of Marlborough.
It seems that the name Platter Kill was long used before the town was
named. It was the stream of water
running along the west side of what is now Plattekill. . . .
The following are descriptions of the various “Lateral
Roads”, generally running from West to East, starting with the road the
furthest North in the Township of Marlborough, and then travelling South down
the River to the next “Lateral Road”.
p. 21 9. 01. The
first road on the north is the Smith road, running from Smith’s store for
several miles west.
02. The
next road south is what was afterward laid out as the Farmers’ Turnpike &
Bridge Co, from the river connecting Sand’s store and dock, and the Sutton dock
and running westerly through what is now Modena and crossing the
Plattekill. On the map it is called the
“Road to Platte Kill” and is referred to in the laying out of other roads as
the “Platte Kill Road.”
03. The
next is the road from the willow tree and post road running west and connecting
with the last named road (the “Platte Kill Road”).
04. Then
comes the road from the Powell dock and ferry to Lewis’ farm and the post road
and past the Quaker Meeting-house to Lattintown [called the Lattintown road]
and on across the mountain to Pleasant Valley.
[This is an East to West road. On
this road and between the “Post Road” and the road from the Lattintown road to
Purdy’s bridge, the name “WOOLSEY” appears, and the name “H. WOOLSEY” appears
on this same road a little further West of the Lattintown road to Purdy’s
bridge road. [Also known as the“Highlands Ridge” road] The Woolsey families are on the Lattintown
road and in the region round about there.
This road is still called the “Lattintown Road” on the “Google Maps”. Lattintown is on the “Old Indian Road” that
runs from Hudson River through Lattintown in roughly a semi-circle, then
changes to “Mt. Zion Road” then continues on in the semi-circle until it
connects back to the “Lattintown Road”.
05. The
next is the road from the Old Man’s creek to the Lattintown road, and thence
north and connecting with the road over the mountain at the Penny place, just
as it is at present (1904).
06. The
next, The African Lane road, also crosses the mountains to the valley.
07. The
last is the road at the town line [between Marlborough and Newburgh] at the
Velie place, which passes what was the Acker mill, and runs thence west over
the mountains. [The above 7 roads are
lateral roads, running generally East to
West, named from North to South running down the Hudson River.]
The “Post Road” [running from North
to South] along the river from the town of New Paltz (now Lloyd) to the town of
Newburgh is crossed by the roads above mentioned. On Dr. Benjamin Ely’s 1797 “Map of Marlborough”
the name “WOOLSEY” appears on the “King’s Highway” or “Post Road” about
half-way between the “Lattington Road” and “Old Man’s Creek Road”. [This is probably the Richard Woolsey (1697)
original patent from the Gomez brothers.]
08. The
road from the Lattintown road to Purdy’s bridge is next. The map marks the land here as a “Ridge of
High, Good Land.” This appears to extend
on through to the turnpike. [This is a
North to South road. It runs roughly
parallel to the post road and the name “WOOLSEY” appears once more, this time
directly West of the name “WOOLSEY” of the post road.]
09. The
next is the Lattintown road from New Paltz town to New Burgh town, called on
the map “Road from New Burgh.”
In
1763 the New York Hgwy. commission records of Roads Laid Out 1722-1795 reads
"...An
Act for Clearing Mending and Further Laying Out Publick Roads...at request of inhabitants
of Eastermost part of Lattin Town of the District of the precinct of Newburgh..laid
out One Publick Road...Four Rods in breadth Beginning at Elijah Lewises
Landing, ..near small brook then....to school house by Kings Highway, then
along Old Road leading south of Thomas Nolston and Thomas Woolseys dwelling
houses, then along Old Road until it comes to John Cavilirs, then along the
lane ...until it comes into the Kings Road in Lattintown....in the year of our
Lord 1763.” [Lattin Town was pretty much
the center of the many Woolsey families in the area. They were of the Baptist, Congregationalist
(Presbyterian) and Methodist Episcopal faiths, so their records are scattered.]
10. After
this is the road from the Plattekill road (Farmers’ Turnpike), Beginning west of Tucker’s corners and
running North to Elting and LeFevre’s corner.
The map gives it as the “Road to Paltz and Baker’s store.”
11. Further
west, we come to the road from the turnpike south to and through the valley to
the Newburgh line.
12. The
next is the road from the turnpike, at what is now Modena, south by
southeasterly to the Valley;
13. and
then there is a road from the last-mentioned extending westward to the New
Hurley church.
p. 184. “. . . a Petition of the Inhabitants being
Freeholders have laid out an open Public Road four Rods wide beginning not far
from the North side of the Seven Patentees on the brow of a certain Small Hill
thence in the most direct and Convenient place to a certain bridge in the Road
that comes from Mr. Brush’s Landing thence Northerly in the most direct and
convenient place a little East of the House of David Mackey thro’ the East part
of a certain Swamp still running near said swamp in the most Direct and
Convenient place to a certain Bridge still Northerly in the most Direct and
Convenient place to the Paltz line Oposite the Land of Capt. John Woolsey
adjoining a little West of his Block House
We do order the Road above mentioned to be open and publick etc. 26 Mar 1774.
Richard Woolsey, Lewis Dubois, Caleb Merritt.” [That our Woolseys were on the leading edge
of the Pioneer movement in New York is evidenced by the above notice of Capt. John
Woolsey’s ‘Block House’.
ANCIENT PATENTS AND
LAND GRANTS
C. M. Woolsey, in his “History of the Town of
Marlborough, Ulster County, New York, 1908” gives a good synopsis of “Patents
and Land Grants” with this history:
01.
The first patent was granted to John Barbarie in 1709, with a “river
front of a mile and a quarter… Mostly all of Milton is on this tract.”
02.
Next was the Bond Patent, 1710, (which he gives in full, p. 28ff, with
an appended Queen Anne’s seal, etc.)
“The deed of the Bond Patent is in the hands of the Hallock family at
Milton.”, which may help explain why many of these early deeds cannot now be
found www.)
03.
The Alexander Griggs & Graham Patent granted in 1712. “Beginning at the N side of the S branch of
the Old Man’s Kill and runs along Hudson’s River, etc.” [p. 41]
James Graham of the city of New York, the eldest son and heir-at-law of
Augustine Graham, dec’d, conveyed to Zachariah Hoffman all that one-half part
of the Griggs & Graham Patent of 1,200 acres. Prior to this time Alexander Griggs conveyed
his one-half part to Jurey Quick and Jurey Quick in 1727 leased his part of the
tract to Zachariah Hoffman. In 1741
Quick and his son Thomas Quick sold these lands to Hoffman for 80 pounds. Hoffman afterward died and his two daughters,
Geartry DuBois, and Ida Hoffman, became the owners of the entire patent, and
Geartry DuBois conveyed her part to Lewis DuBois by deed, as follows: “Geartry Dubois, widow of Nathaniel Dubois, Late
of the County of Orange and Province of New York, Deceased, greeting.
Know ye that whereas Jachariah Hoffman, Late of Schawangunk in Ulster
Co, deceased; by his last will and Testament 25 Feb 1743 did bequeath tract of
land containing 1200 acres formerly
granted to Augustine Graham & Alexander Griggs on Hudson, and then in the
Tenure of Jury Quick etc unto his two Daughters, Namely the said Geartry Dubois and his Daughter Ida etc and whereof
the said Geartry Dubois being Possessed of the full equal half Part of the said
Tract in her own Right at the time of her marriage with the said Nathaniel
Dubois and in considereation of the Love and Affection which she hath towards
Lewis Dubois, her son-in-law and for Divers other good causes etc – Quit
Claimed – all right the Equal half part of the said 1200 acres, which half part
the said Lewis Dubois is now in the Possession thereof. 11 Jun 1763, proved 21 Oct 1764.
Ida, the daughter of Hoffman, married
Cornelius Bruyn and in 1746 she conveyed her undivided one-half part of the
patent to Nathaniel DuBois and this descended to his son Lewis DuBois, so that
he was the owner of and in possession of the lands in question some time before
he received the deed from his step-mother or mother-in-law as above
stated. When he received her deed he was
the owner of all of it. Lewis DuBois was
in possession of these lands at the time he got his deed in 1763 from his
stepmother, and the presumption is that he had been there several years and was
living there under title from his father; for at the time he was interested in
various projects and had agreed to give to the Marlborough Society two acres of
land. The subscription list for the
church states, “Providing that Lewis DuBois does give two acres of land.”
On 8 Apr 1764 he did execute a deed
for the land to John Woolsey and Stephen Case, first trustees. He was the largest subscriber, giving 15
pounds on the first and 8 pounds on the last subscription, so he must have been
a man of means, and doing business at this time. There was a stone marked “M.B.Y. 1764” set in
the ground in the SW corner of the Meeting-house lot. [see DuBois Deed to John Woolsey and Stephen
Case, later.]
Lewis DuBois was a leading man in
Marlborough Town activities, especially during the Revoluntionary War. He raised several militia units and also
Lewis DuBois’ Fifth Regiment of the Continental Line, from Ulster and
surrounding counties. There were several
Woolseys in the Fifth Regiment, including the ancestor of www, Richard Woolsey
(who married Nancy Plumbstead), son of Rev. Thomas Woolsey, of Westchester and
Ulster Counties, NY, who moved to Washington County, Virginia, about 1771. His son Richard (who married Nancy
Plumbstead) served in the Revolutionary War in New York at the Battles of Kings
Bridge, White Plains and Long Island, then Richard moved his family West to
Virginia, to be with his father and siblings, where he may have been, with
other Woolseys, in the Battle of Kings Mountain in Virginia.
04.
The next patent is to Lewis Morris and others in 1714: “Beginning at the north-west corner of the
land of Alexander Griggs & Co. and then running as the river line of the
said land of said Alexander Griggs & Co. runs, S 54o W 120 chains to the
Southermost corner of the said land of said Griggs & Co., thence S 75 chains
to the N bounds of the land of Francis Harrison, Esq. & Co, runs W into the
woods 160 chains to the foot of the Blew Mountains, then as the said mountain
runs travers protracted N NE 450 chains
to a black oak marked with three notches and a cross in all four sides, thence
S 61o, E 55 hains to the NW corner of the land of William Bond, thence as the
river line of said land of William bond runs S 3 o, E 51 chains to the SW
corner of the said land of William Bond and thence S 156 chains to the place where it first began,
containing 3600 acres with allowances for broken barren land and highways.
It will be seen that the western line
of the patent is so uncertain that I [C. M. Woolsey] cannot tell where it is
but it does not include the western part of the town as far north as it
goes. This patent was known and always
went by the name of the “Seven Patentees”, as the patent was granted to seven
persons: Lewis Morris, Augustin Graham,
Lymon Clarke, Henry Wileman, William Bond, Henry Rainer and Alexander Griggs.
1771 MARLBOROUGH, ULSTER, NEW YORK:
29 June 1771: A Mortgage between Richard Woolsey of New Borough, Co. of Ulster,

that this may be his ancestor, Richard Woolsey who married Nancy Plumbstead and
enlisted in the Revolutionary War from New Windsor, Ulster County, or not. “New Borough” above may mean “New
Marlborough”, the former name of
“Marlborough”.]
05.
The next is the Archibald Kennedy Patent for two tracts of land lying on
the river, granted in 1715. These
would be of special interest to the descendants of the Woolseys of Ulster
County, New York.
1st. Beginning at the SE corner of the land of
Alexander Griggs & Co. and runs W 15 chains, thence S 110 Chains to the
land of Francis Harrison, Esq. & Co. then E 170 chains to Hudson’s river,
thence as the river runs to the place where it first began : containing 1200
acres.
2nd. The other certain parcel beginning at the NE
corner of the land of said Alexander Griggs & Co and running W 72 chains,
thence N 135 chains to the line of William Bond’s land, thence S 61 degree, E
102 Chains to the river and thence as the river runs to the place where it
began : containing 800 acres, which with the other parcel aforesaid completes
2000 acres.
This
first lot of 1200 acres is the Southernmost patent in the town and marks the
town’s Southern boundary. It adjoins the
Francis Harrison Patent. This tract was
sold to Lewis Gomez.
Kennedy sold the second
lot of 800 acres to Jacob Gomez, then Gomez’ heirs sold to Richard Woolsey.
06.
The next grant is the George Harrison Patent, granted in 1750: In three
tracts, the first adjoins Archibald Kennedy, the second joins John Barbarie and
is party in Marlborough and partly in Lloyd.
The third lot is entirely in Plattekill.
George Harrison sold the first tract of his patent, the 705 acres, to
Cadwallader Colden; Colden then sold a part to William Wickham, William B.
Woolsey and others. Wickham sold to
Thomas Woolsey and William B. Woolsey; William B. Woolsey sold to Caverly, Hait
and others.
The first patent along the river on
the north was the Barbarie patent, next the Bond, and the next Kennedy, next
Grigg & Graham, and the next Kennedy, and next was the George Harrison
patent.
These large tracts were afterward
divided and sold to actual settlers. C.
M. Woolsey gives a synopsis of each grant, including the Bond patent.
02.
William Bond conveyed his lands to his daughter, Susanna Bond, and she
conveyed to William Weynant, 1752, etc.
Susanna Bond also conveyed a tract of land to Jurian Mackey out of the
said patent of 600 acres as follows:
“Near Dam’s Commer being a part of the patent of Capt William Bond the W
side of Hudston’s River joining N by Barbaree, E by Hudson’s River, S by
WOOLSEY, W by Cornel Moresses patent, etc. ….
05.
Kennedy sold his 800 acre tract to Jacob Gomez, then Daniel and Abram,
children of Jacob Gomez, sold the tract to Richard Woolsey. [www did not find this original
conveyance.] [See Richard Woolsey DEED
to Richard Harcourt, 1754. www - the following deed is an example of the
Gomez’ transactions.]

1751. Daniel Gomez [before John Chambers Esqr of New York 31 Mar 1763. [Not found]
C. M. Woolsey continues: Archibald Kennedy conveyed his tract of 1200
acres to Lewis Gomez; and Mordecai, Daniel and David Gomez as executors of
their father, Lewis Gomez, in 1748, conveyed the same to William Campbell and
Archibald Duffie and on 28 Mar 1750 Campbell and Duffie of Ulster county
conveyed the same to Francis Purdy and George Merrit. [Then follows some more conveyances]: From this transfer, it will be seen, that
there was a landing and limekilns at the river at that time; the landing was
most likely built by Lewis Gomez or his sons, and if so it was very old, if not
the oldest in the town. The lime burnt
at the kiln supplied all that part of the country at the time.
On the 14 Aug 1754 Francis Purdy
conveyed 606 acres in two lots – 484.5 acres west of the road and 121.5 acres
east of the road, along the N side and adjoining the Griggs and Graham patent;
the balance was conveyed by Merritt to Purdy.
[Then C. M. Woolsey quotes from the actual Deed “ … in the possession of
John C. Merritt, the great-great-grandson of George Merritt, etc. …]
From this Lewis Gomez, [the name]
Gomez’ Jew’s creek derives its name; and the land which Gomez owned then were
sometimes assessed to “Mr. Gomez,” and at other times to “Gomez the Jew.” This creek ran through Gomez’ land. These limekilns and the landing were on what
is now known as the Kerr place. Gomez
the Jew was a New York merchant but resided here part of the time. In the districting of the highways his
residence is spoken of as “the Jew’s house.”
[Note by www: There is a very interesting website about
Luis Gomez, “the oldest Jewish house in America”. It is thought that Jacob Gomez and Luis Gomez
were brothers and were very active in Jewish activities in New York City.] http://www.hebrewhistory.info/factpapers/fp030_gomez.htm
Residing at New Marlborough in
1717-1718 was Mr. Gomez; in 1724-1725 was Gomez the Jew; in 1726-1729 was Gomaz
the Jew. Also at New Marlborough during
this period were Denis Relje, Jeurian Quick, Wm. Bond, Alexander Griggs, A.
Graham and Pieter Jansen and others.

C. M. Woolsey continues: In 1770, Richard Woolsey conveyed to Thomas
Knowlton 211 acres of this tract. It is
described as being in the precinct of Newburgh, the northern part of the
Highland precinct having by this time been formed into a separate district
called Newburgh Precinct. This tract is
described as being on the north of Harcourt’s land and extending along the
river and as far back as Harcourt’s line.
In 1760 Richard Woolsey conveyed another part of this tract to his son,
Benjamin, afterward a part to his son, John, and John conveyed 203 acres to his
son Henry Woolsey. [See 1801 Deed John
Woolsey to Henry Woolsey]
Richard Woolsey sold 155 acres, on
the south side of what he sold to Harcourt, to Edward Hallock, and Edward
Hallock sold to John Youngs, June 1776.
In the ancient deed it is described as follows:
All

follows: Beginning at Richard Harcourt’s
SE corner of his farm at Hudson’s river thence running along his line N 73o W
75 ch. & 50 links to a stake and stones and in Benj. Woolsey’s corner,

chestnut oak tree, marked on three sides with three notches and a blaze,
standing on the bank of Hudson’s river, thence northerly along the said river
to the place of beginning : containing 155 acres.
It appears from the amount sold out
of this patent that there were over 1000 acres including barren lands.
