General Notes: The following information is an excerpt from "The Settlement of Philipsburgh" by Grenville Mackenzie, which appears on Lisa Shea's web site (http://www.lisashea.com/genealogy/see/westhist.html):

"Jan Buckhout, son of the sea captain Matthys Janszen Buckhout, was born about 1682 probably in New York. He settled in Irvington before 1708 and married Laurens Matthys Bankert's daughter Mary. They lived on the south east corner of Broadway and Harriman Road. He was a captain in the militia in and before 1758. His second wife whom he married in 1753 was the widow of Thomas Lawrence of Eastchester whose younger children Jan brought up. According to his gravestone, he died April 10, 1785 aged 103, leaving 240 descendants. One can only regret that we have not a complete list of them."

Jan appears as a witness to the following baptism recorded at the Old Dutch Reformed Church in Tarrytown (Sleepy Hollow), Westchester, NY on June 1, 1708:

"Entry #168: Leverens Kankele, Engeltie his wife / Elisabeth / Jan Boekhouwt, Elisabeth Gardenier"

This would be Jan's sister, Engeltje, and her husband Deliverance Conklin with their child Elisabeth.

According to Beatrice Weinheimer in "The Buckhouts" published in the Westchester County Historical Bulletin, vol. 51, no. 1, Winter, 1975, p. 20-21:

"The fifth child born to Matthys and Elizabeth was Jan, born in New York in 1682. In 1710, he married Mary Bankert and moved to the southeast corner of what is now Harriman Road and Broadway, according to Mackenzie. Maps from 1785, found in "Wolfert's Roost" (Portrait of a Village, Irvington, NY), show the location of a homesite at that spot marked with the name J. Buckhout. However, in this same book there is a quote taken from "Gentleman's Progress," written in 1744 by Dr. Alexander Hamilton, in which he recalls a trip south from Albany by boat on the Hudson river. He said, "We went ashore to the house of one Kaen Buikhaut, a Dutch farmer. The old man was busy making a slaigh... The woman told us she had eighteen children, nine boys and as many girls.

There is no further mention of his wife Mary, but there is a second marriage recorded in 1753 to the widow Deborah Wilsze Lawrence, when Jan was 71 years old, along with the notation that he raised her younger children.

Since he held a Captain's commission in the English colonial army during the old French War, he was known as Captain Buckhout for the rest of his life."

John & Maritje are recorded as sponsors for the baptism of Rachgel [sic] daughter of Jan Heyert & Rachgel [sic], his wife, on Nov. 4, 1713 at the Old Dutch Church in Tarrytown, Westchester Co., NY.

John was listed as a witness [as "John Buckhouse"] in the will of Abraham De Reinere, written at Phillipsburgh Manor, Westchester Co., on April 24, 1716 and proved June 22, 1716 (NY City Wills, libre 8, p. 490). Abstract is found in the "Collections of the New-York Historical Society," for the year 1893, vol. 26, p. 171.

Jan and Marytie appear as witnesses to the baptism of Johannes Buys, son of Pieter Buys & Geertie Hoppe, on Oct. 16, 1723 at the Tappan Reformed Church, Rockland Co., NY. Interestingly enough, Jan & Marytie's three children, Matthys, Pieter and Jannetje all baptized children at this church. Looking at the baptismal register for Tappan Reformed Church, there are a number of Hogenkamp family members and this is likely where Jannetje and her husband, Myndert Hogenkamp, resided.

Jan & Marytie were sponsors to the baptism of their grandson, Jan Hogenkamp, on Dec. 2, 1739 at the Tappan Reformed Church, son of Myndert Hogenkamp & Jannetye Boeckhouyt (sic). In addition, they were the sponsors for the baptism of their grandson, Jan Buckhout, son of Pieter Buckhout & Aeltje Cuyper, on March 2, 1746 at the same church.

"The New York Genealogical & Biographical Record," vol. 59, July 1928, no. 3, p. 203 lists the following regarding the Town Book of the Manor of Philipsburgh:

"1743 the first tuesday in April is chosen att the town meeting...Overseers for the Rood from the upper mills H to tomus Storm Matthis Cankly. And fore fens fucers tomus storm and John boco Hols Mr William hammond and delefrens Cankly and John bolye and Hannis Van tesxsel."

In the same reference above, on the 3rd page of the Town Book the first Tuesday in April 1745, John is once again appointed with Thomas Storm (NYGBR, vol. 59, July 1928, no. 3, p. 204):

"...chosen vens fucers att the town meeting John boehols and Tomas Storm..."

John, and his son Jacob, appear in the same Manor Town Book, p. 16, registering their ear marks (for cattle) as follows (NYGBR, vol. 59, July 1928, no. 3, p. 207):

"1753 Feby 1 John Bockhout
ditto May 4 Jacob Bockhout"

The Philipsburg Manor Rent Roll, taken Jan. 10, 1760, shows John & Jacob (among many others):

"Jacob Bockhout£6 4s. 6d.
John Bockhout£7 4s. 6d."

(Source: NYGBR, vol. 110, April 1979, no. 2, p. 102-103)

Excerpt from "Poverty and Patriotism of the Neutral Grounds," by J.C.L. Hamilton, published in Elmsford, NY in 1900, p. 8:

"Captain John Buckhout was Captain Harmse's neighbor, and also a captain in the French colonial war. He was too advanced in years to take an active part in the Revolution, and continued to reside upon his farm, now occupied in part by the Cosmopolitan Magazine, until his death, which occurred in the year 1785, as appears by his inscription upon his tombstone in the old Sleepy Hollow city of the dead..."

Also recorded in the Appendix of the same work, p. 33:

"Westchester County, State of New York.

Permit the bearers hereof Abraham Acker & John Buckhout, to pass to their homes at or near Tarrytown on Philipsburgh Manor. The above Abraham Acker I recommend to be a rail frind to the Independence of America likewise by the best accounts the aforesaid Buckhout.

Given under my hand this sixth day of February 1783, at Peekskill per me

John Van Tassel, Justice of the Peace."

From his gravestone in the Old Dutch Burying Ground, Tarrytown, Westchester County, NY:

Plot #N3-299

"In Memory of Cap. John Buckhout, who Departed this life April the 10th: 1785 Aged 103 Years and left behind him when he died 240 Chiln. and Grand Children, Also Mary the wife of Johnm Buct. Died August 1755 aged 73 yrs." [Note: Mary's age is most likely an error]

Transcription of Capt. Jan Buckhout's will, probated in Westchester County on April 28, 1785, and on file at the Irvington Public Library, NY:

The following advertisement is found in Loudon's "New-York Packet," issue 598, p. 4 dated June 1, 1786:

"All Persons having legal demands against the estate of John Buckhout, of Philipsburgh, deceased, are desired to bring them in for settlement; and those who are any ways indebted to said estate, are requested to discharge their respective debts, without delay, as this is the only notice that will be given by -

William Davids,
Mathew Buckhout
Executors
May 18, 1786"

The following is an abstract taken from the "Genealogical Data from NY Estates 1666-1825" by Kenneth Scott, 1970, p. 18-19:

"Buckhout, Capt. John -- Memorandum (1787-1790) of Matthias Buckhout and William Davis, executors, shows money paid to the legatees of the deceased, Jacob Van Wart (for his wife), William Devoe (for his wife), John Buckhout (son of Isaac Buckhout), Jacob Buckhout, John Highfield, Ebenezer Price (for his wife), Elizabeth Jewel, Conrat Sedore (for his wife), Matthias Buckhout, Mary Garrison (daughter of Isaac Buckhout), John Buckhout (for Rachel Genung, daughter of Isaac Buckhout), John Acker (for his wife), Matthias Conklin (for his wife), Mary Acker, Josiah Secorr (for his wife, daughter of Sarah Buckhout), Henry Charlick (for his wife), Jacob Jewel, William Ladew (for his wife) and John Jewel.

Account (20 July 1790) of Matthias Buckhout, surviving executor, shows among other items £70 received on a bond of John Jewel for a Negro man called Tom, £40 for a Negro wench of John Jewel, sold before the death of John Buckhout, £70 of Henry Banker on a bond for a Negro man called Dick, £70 from Jasper Stimers for a Negro man called Teem and £52 from Henry Tenure for a Negro man called David."

Noted events in his life were:

• Burial Location: Old Dutch Burying Ground, Tarrytown, Westchester Co., NY, United States. 37

Johannes married Marytie Bankert, daughter of Laurens Matthys Bankert and Unknown, about 1710. Marytie died before 1753 in Tarrytown, Westchester Co., NY, United States81 and was buried about 1753 in Tarrytown, Westchester Co., NY, United States.81 Another name for Marytie was Mary Bankert.

General Notes: This information comes from the Appleby Family Tree as compiled by Thomas Applebee in 2000:

"Jan's gravestone, erected more than thirty years after the death of his first wife, gives the date of her death as Oct. 2, 1755 (? August) and her age as 73. While the day of the month may be correct, the year obviously is not. She appeared in the church records for the last time Apr. 17, 1750 at the bapsitm of her granddaughter Maritie Buckhout. She probably died in 1751 or 1752. The age on the stone was figured, apparently, on the assumption that she was born about the same time as her husband, which would have made her about 73 in 1755. Actually, she was about eight years younger than he, and about 60 or 61 when she died." Grenville Mackenzie

It is clear that Jan remarried Deborah Wilsze on Sept. 7, 1753, which would indicate Maritie died prior to that date.

18. Johannes Buckhout was born about Aug 1683 in Newtown, Queens Co., NY, United States11,62 and was christened on 18 Aug 1683 in New York, NY, United States.62,63 Another name for Johannes was John Buckhout.

General Notes: Johannes & Esther served as sponsors at the baptism of their nephew, Anthony, son of Anthony & Susannah (Pieterse, aka Susannah Buckhout) Gleane, on Jan. 29, 1716 at the First Reformed Dutch Church in Jamaica, Queens Co., NY. Susannah was Johannes half sister, the daughter of his mother Lysbeth Jans, and her first husband Pieter Roelofsen. Although, she was often referred to in records as "Susannah Buckhout."

Contained in the the "Documentary History of the State of N.Y.", vol. III, p. 184 is a listing of the officers and soldiers belonging to the Regiment of Militia in Kings County; 1715. Johannis Bookhoutt, one of 26 members, is listed as a private in "VI. Captt Ffrance [sic] Titus Company."

John Hunt conveys a tract of land, approximately 3 to 4 acres, in Newtown to Johannes Buckhout, Blacksmith, of Bushwyck on October 21, 1719 as evidenced by this entry in the Newtown Town Records, 1710-1753, p. 50:

"Be it remembered by these presents that I, John Hunt of Newtown, Queens County on Nassau Island in sd.

Johannes Buckhout was appointed an Executor in Anthony Gleane's will (proved Aug. 19, 1734 in New York), husband of his half sister, Susanah.

Theunis Raplie, Blacksmith, of Bushwyck, Kings Co., NY wrote his will on Apr. 29, 1732 and Johannis was included as one of the subscribers as follows:

"I, Theunis Raplie of Boswyck in Kings County on Nassaw Island in the Coloney of New York, Blacksmith... I have here unto set my hand and seal the twenty ninth Day of April in ye Year of our Blessed Lord and Saviour one thousand Seven Hundred & thirty two Theunis Rappelyes (X) Signed, Sealed... in presence of us the Subscribers Johannis Bockhoudt, Joseph Howard, Evert (X his mark) Van Geldor"

(Source: NY Co., NY Wills, libre 12, p. 244-246)

A list of all inhabitants in abt. 1738 for Bushwyck Township, Kings County, NY shows the following entry from "The Documentary History of the State of New York," vol. IV, 1851, p. 200:

"Johannis Boechout
3 white males > 10 yrs
5 white females > 10 yrs
1 white female < 10 yrs
1 black male > 10 yrs"

The above mentioned Theunis Rapalie [enumerated as "Tuenes Rapellie"] was included in the Bushwyck Township list of inhabitants in 1738, living adjacent to Johannis Boechout.

In the Town Records of Bushwyck, p. 363, and transcribed in the "Manuscript Records of the Town of Bushwyck, Kings County, NY" by Dewitt Van Buren, p. 22, Johannes is found active in the town life:

"Vote for payment of patent: In 1739 a general vote was taken by the People of Boswyck to oppose the proposition that in regard to patents that are younger than the Town's general patent, the persons who have such patents must pay for the general patent of the Town. Signed by:

Capt. Pieter Praa
Johannes Bockhout
Jan Misrol
Abraham Durie
Thomas Fardon
David Van Cats
Tuenes Wortman
Jacobus Kolier
Justice Leffert Leffersen
Anderis Stockholm, Town Clerk
Johannes Albersen
Symon Durie
Barent Anderiesen
Henderick Vandewater"

Found in the Town Records of Bushwyck and relayed in the "Early Settlers of Bushwyck, Long Island, New York and their Descendants" by Andrew J. Provost, 1949-63, p. 118 is the following reference to Johannis:

"The records we have of him [Nicholas Folkerts] include citations that he was a voter in Bushwick in 1740, and that on Jan. 3, 1739/40 he and Johannes Bockhout, Trustees of the township, were authorized by the justices, inhabitants and freeholders to sell certain of the town's commons. (Records of the Town of Boswyck [sic]). This assignment was evidently considered an important trust, because the signatures of the fifteen men who approved the authorization were appended thereto."

Johannes continues to be active in the town of Bushwyck and is voted as Trustee at an election held in April 1740:

"Election held the first Tuesday in April 1740 according to an act of the General Assembly. There were chosen as Trustees and Townsmen: Jan Misrol, Johannes Bockhout, and Anderies Stockholm. Johannes Bockhout was a Townsman the year before also with Micklaes Folkersen. [18 signatories appended including Johannes Bockhout]

This entry also makes mention of a sale by the above named elected Trustees to Pieter Conselie, Johannes Albersen, Tuenes Van Kats and Hendrick Vandewater of the land which was sold by Nicklaes Folkersen and Johannes Bockhout, as next above set forth. Dated 21 April 1740. Rec: by Anderies Stockholm, Town Clerk."

(Source: Town Records of Bushwyck, p. 369-373, and transcribed in the "Manuscript Records of the Town of Bushwyck, Kings County, NY" by Dewitt Van Buren, p. 23)

A final mention is made of Johannes, at a town meeting held on Oct. 9, 1741, in which he is again referenced as a Trustee of Bushwyck appointed to resolve the land boundary dispute between Bushwyck and Newtown:

"Record of Town Meeting held Oct. 9, 1741. Trustees and Townmen: Justice Philippus Nagel, Johannes Bockhout and Anderies Stockholm were authorized to settle the bounds between Newtown and Bushwyck."

(Source: Town Records of Bushwyck, p. 375, and transcribed in the "Manuscript Records of the Town of Bushwyck, Kings County, NY" by Dewitt Van Buren, p. 23)

Extracted from "The Documentary History of the State of New York" arranged under direction of the Hon. Christopher Morgan, Secretary of State, by E.B. O'Callagahan, Volume IV, pp. 122-13. Published in Albany: Charles van Benthuysen, 1851.

Today Bushwyck is a neighborhood in the borough of Brooklyn, Kings County, New York. Founded in 1661 by Dutch Director-General Peter Stuyvesant as Boswijck, (Dutch for "little town in the woods"), it is the site of some of the earliest settlements in Brooklyn. Bushwick officially became a part of Brooklyn in 1854. Brooklyn is located in the westernmost part of Long Island. It shares its only land boundary with Queens to the northeast. The westernmost section of this boundary is defined by Newtown Creek.

It appears that circa 1740, Johannes also owned land in, or near, Jamaica, Queens Co., NY as evidenced by this mention of a lot of "meadow land" previously in his possession but "lately purchased" by John Snedeker, & Catherine his wife, and conveyed to their son, John Snedeker (found in the Jamaica Town Records, Vol. IV, p. 15).

"This Indenture made the Thirty first day of May Anno Domini one Thousand Seven Hundred and Forty between John Snedeker of Jamaica in Queens County in the Province of New York Yeoman and Catherine his wife.. and Johannus Sneteker of the same place Weaver (and son of the above said John Sneteker)... and also three lotts of meadow land one of which the said John Sneteker lately purchased of John Hardenberk and the other two of Jost Durye and Johannus Buckhouse [sic], as the same two lotts now lye and were divided between the said John Sneteker and Evert Vanwickland and also two lotts of Fresh Meadow land which the said John Sneteker lately purchased of Hendrick Lott, Deceased, Situate in Jamaica aforesaid lying amongst ye Brookland fresh meadow lotts so called..."

We also find a John Bookhout referred to in at least two wills/estate proceedings in Somerset and Middlesex Counties, New Jersey in 1740 and 1742. From the "Documents Relating to the Colonial History of the State of New Jersey," vol. II Calendar of NJ Wills, Admin. etc. 1730-1750, 1913, p. 395-396:

"1738, June 9. Reynierse, Ouke, of Somerset Co., yeoman; will of. Wife, Ida, sole executrix, personal estate and home plantation in Somerset Co., during widowhood. Real estate valued in Somerset Co. at £1,610. Sons to have two-thirds; daughters one-third of said sum. Son, Reynier, to have 150 acres lying on the western side of "Milston River," binding upon Roolif Van Brent's land. Son, Cornelius, to have 100 acres in Middlebush, lying on the eastern side of Milston River. Sons, Hendrick, Aernout and Ouke; the rest of the land in Middlebush, joining the land of Cornelius upon Milston River. Daughters - Magdelana, Catherine, Ida, Aleda, Mary, Ariaentje and Femmy.

1740, March 6. Inventory (£380.22.8) includes cattle, £43; horses, £80£; 3 slaves, £140; wheat £119. Made by John Bookhout, Garret Garretsen."

Then, in August 1742, a John Bookhout witnessed the will of Margaret Vleat (Vliet) of Middlesex Co., NJ as found in the NJ Calendar of Wills, v. 30, p. 507:

"1742, Aug. 9. Vleat, Margaret, of New Brunswick, Middlesex Co., widow; will of. Children - John, Francis, Marey, Ann, William, and Daniell, the last two under age. Legacy to Philip Obrien. Executor - Elbert Stotof. Witnesses - John Bookhout, John Piatt, J. Wilmot.

1742, Oct. 26. Inventory (£201.10.7); includes cash in hands of Abraham VanVoohous, several negroes and silvery cup: made by William Walling, Reyck Sudam."

The following excerpt is from "The Settlers of the Beekman Patent" Dutchess County, New York (an historical and genealogical study of all 18th C. inhabitants of the Patent) by Frank Doherty, vol. II, 1993, chapter 77 "The Bookout Family," p. 641:

"John BOOKOUT was bp. in Bushwick on 18 Aug. 1683 and m. there Esther Fine. They were m. 17 May 1712 and lived in Bushwick. It would appear that he was taxed in Rombout for a time because a John Bookout Jr. was taxed there from 1745 through 1748 and then in Poughkeepsie from 1753 through June 1754."

On Aug. 18, 1742, Johannis Buckhout, Yeoman, and William Barnes purchased 578 acres contained in Lot 2 in the town of Fishkill, Rumbout Precinct, Dutchess Co., NY for £600 from Andrew & Catherine Johnson, merchant of South Amboy (she being one of the devisees of Stephen Van Cortland). By Jan. 22, 1742/3 William Barnes was, in turn, conveying the same parcel of land to Johannis Buckhout, Blacksmith of Rombout, for £300. (Source: Original Deeds, Libre B. p. 186-187, Town of Fishkill, Rumbout Precinct, Dutchess Co., NY)

The following is from a list of tax-payers of the original town of Fishkill, Dutchess County, NY as published by the Dutchess County Historical Society:

"Bookhout, John; 1744-1748, 1753, 1754, 1757-1763, 1765-1770

(Note: This entry has no specific date attached but prior entries show May 17th and later ones show Dec. 23rd)

Noted events in their marriage were:

• Marriage Location: Newtown Presbyterian Church, Newtown, Queens Co., NY, United States.

Noted events in her life were:

• Residence: 1738, Bushwyck, Kings Co., NY, United States. 132

Children from this marriage were:

+ 49 M    i. John Buckhout Jr. 133 was born about 1713 in Bushwyck, Kings Co., NY, United States134 and died between 20 Aug 1770 and 11 Feb 1771 in Fishkill, Dutchess Co., NY, United States.135

+ 50 M    ii. Peter Buckhout 136 was born about 1715 in Bushwyck, Kings Co., NY, United States137 and died about 1769 in Fishkill, Dutchess Co., NY, United States138 aged about 54.

+ 52 F    iv. Susanna Buckhout 136 was born about 1718 in Bushwyck, Kings Co., NY, United States.

+ 53 F    v. Engeltje Buckhout 136 was born about 1721 in Bushwyck, Kings Co., NY, United States.

+ 54 F    vi. Esther Buckhout 136 was born about 1724 in Bushwyck, Kings Co., NY, United States.

19. Peter Buckhout was born after 1712 in New Jersey,71 was christened on 5 Jan 1729 in Newtown, Queens Co., NY, United States,72 died on 14 Nov 1786 in Bushwyck, Kings Co., NY, United States,73 and was buried on 15 Nov 1786 in New York, NY, United States.74

General Notes: Peter Buckhout was baptized Jan. 5, 1729 at the Presbyterian Church, Newtown, Queens Co., NY, as recorded in the parish register:

"1729 Jan. 5th Peter Buckhout baptized on Johannis Culvor's Acct Promising to do the Part of a Christian Parent to him."

Peter was likely born in New Jersey, since his father had left New York City (about 1705/6) where he had been living in the Bowery Division (disappearance from the Assessment records of that place at that time). Peter's father, Peter, appears as a witness and inventory recorder for the will of Theophilus Phillips in Maidenhead, NJ in 1708/09 and later is referenced in two land transactions, dated 1710 and 1715, in the same place. His mother, Elizabeth Buckhout, is then found as a "widow" in a land transaction back in Newtown in 1722. She passes away in October 1729, which might have been the impetus for the baptism of Peter above. Johannis Culver was married to Sarah Way, a niece of Elizabeth by her first marriage to Francis Way.

Peter married Tabitha Chichester in May 1737. Interestingly, the following notice appears in the "New-York Gazette" newspaper on December 19, 1737, p.3:

"These are to give Notice, That Darkas (alias Tabathy) the Wife of Peter Buckhout of Newtown in Queens County, is Eloped from her Husband's Bed and Board, and therefore he the said Peter desires all Merchants, Shopkeepers, and other Persons, not to Trust or give Credit to the said Darkas on her said Husband's account, for he will not pay any Debts she shall contract during the time of her Elopement."

(Source: "Genealogical Data from Colonial New York Newspapers" A consolidation of Articles from the NY Genealogical and Biographical Record, compiled by Kenneth Scott, 1977 exact reference is from NYGBR, vol. XCV (95), p. 1-13; p. 10 (Oct. 1964))

On September 11, 1748, Peter & his second wife, Sarah, were the witnesses to the baptism of Abraham Van Wert, son of Gerrit Van Wert & Margrietye Jurckse, at the Tappan Reformed Dutch Church, in Tappan, Rockland Co., NY. Then, in 1749, they baptised their son, Jacob (born Jan. 14th) at the same place, on April 2nd. Did they live in Tappan for a time?

Peter appears in a listing of the "Freemen made and Registered in the Mayorality of Edward Holland Esqr. on July 16, 1751 - [among others] Peter Bookhoudt, Labourer, P [aid]." This is captured in "Collections of the New-York Historical Society for the year 1885," The Roll of Freemen, p. 174. From the same source's Prefactory Note: "The "Freedom" of a city is the right of enjoying all the privileges and immunities belonging to it, to the exclusion of all who are not "Freemen." In cities, municipal corporations, and boroughs, it was obtained, either by serving an apprenticeship for a certain time, or by the payment of money in such amounts as were fixed by the corporate authorities under their charters; and it was also conferred, in their discretion, by a vote, as a municipal compliment or honor.

In Holland, and in England, or rather in Great Britain, in former days, the "Freedom of a city," or other corporation was a most valuable and important privilege and monopoly. For none but its possessors could practice trades, or do any mercantile business in the place, possess the right of suffrage, or be eligible to election to public office, or other civic honors... This "Roll of Freemen" gives the names, occupations, and employments, of the free inhabitants of New York during the century preceding the Revolution, with the dates, and the Mayoralities, when, and under which, they were for the first time respectively made such "Freemen." It is printed from the official Roll preserved in the City Records, and is in fact an authentic, official, directory of New York and New Yorkers during that period..."

The Minutes of the Court, City of New York, indicate Peter was appointed as a Petty Constable in the South Ward for the years 1761-1763:

"Peter Buckhoudt/Buckhout, 1761-1763"

(Source: New York City Court Records, 1760-1797," Genealogical Data from the Court of Quarter Sessions, abstracted by Kenneth Scott, National Genealogical Society, Washington, DC; 1983, Minutes of the Court, General Sessions of the Peace, p. 46)

This is also supported by the "Minutes of the Common Council of City of NY 1675 - 1776," vol. VI, Dodd, Mead & Co., NY: 1905 as follows:

p. 264 Sept. 29, 1761 appointment "Peter Bookhout, Constable, South Ward"
p. 268 Oct. 14, 1761 sworn "Peter Buckhout, Constable, South Ward"
p. 303 Sept. 29, 1762 appointment "Peter Bookhoudt, Constable, South Ward"
p. 307 Oct. 14, 1762 sworn "Peter Bookhoudt, Constable, South Ward"

Peter appears in the Poll Lists for the election of representatives for the city and county of New York for the years 1761, 1768 and 1769. His name appears spelled as "Peter Bockhout/Buckhout/Buckout" in each of the years respectively.

Peter brought a case of Trespass against Cornelius Lawler, seeking £100 in damages, filed on May 9, 1764:

"City of New York Js; Peter Buckhout Complains of Cornelius Lawler in Custody.. that the said Cornelius Lawler on the fourteenth Day of April in the Year of our Lord One thousand Seven Hundred and Sixty four at the Cirty of New York... to wit at the West Ward of the said City with force and arms... upon him the Said Peter an Assault did make make and him the said Peter then and there did Beat wound and evilly entreats that of his Life it was greatly despaired...Damage of the said Peter One hundred Pounds and thereof he brings Suit..."

(Source: NY County Supreme Court, Pleadings, 1754-1837, B-154)

The suit carried on in a subsequent case between Peter Buckhout vs. Charles Jeffrey, filed Aug. 26, 1765:

"City of New York Js: Peter Buckhout assignee of John Roberts Esqr Sherif of the City and County of New York.. complains of Charles Jeffry, otherwise called Charles Jeffery of the City of New York Inholder of a Plea that he render unto him two hundred Pounds Current Money of the Province of New York which to him he oweth and from him unjustly doth detain... on the sixteenth day of April in the Year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and sixty four did prosecure... a certain Writ of our said Lord the King of that Court called a Bill of Middlesex against one certain Cornelius Loller [sic]... at the Dock Ward of the City of New York aforesaid by their certain Writing obligatory which the said Peter Buckhout, with the Seals of them the said Cornelius Loller and Charles Jeffry sealed here to the Court of the said Lord the King now doth produce whose date is the same and year last aforesaid acknowledged themselves and each of them acknowledged himself to be held and firmly bound to the said John Roberts then Sherif of the City and County of New York aforesaid being in the aforesaid two hundred Pounds...on the twenty sixth Day of October in the year last aforesaid at the City and Ward aforesaid at the Request Costs and Charges of the said Peter Buckhout the Plaintiff in the aforesaid such by certain Indorsement on the writing Obligatory aforesaid made in the Presence of two credibly Witnesses to wit James Mills and John Clark, which certain Indorsement ... saith that the said Cornelius Loller did not appear before the said Lord the King at the City of New York on Saturday the twenty eight Day of April then Instant... either of them hath not paid by the same to them or either of them hitherto to pay altogether hath refused and still doth refuse to the Damage of the said Peter Buckhout fifty Pounds and thereof he brings Suit..."

(Source: NY County Supreme Court, Pleadings, 1754-1837, B-154)

The "New-York Gazette" newspaper dated Oct. 25, 1773 shows a "List of Letters remaining in the General Post-Office, New York." Contained in the notice is "Peter Buckhout" [among others] in "King's County, Long-Island."

Peter Buckhout/Buckhouse is found living in New York County, NY in 1775 on Water St., as a Taylor. He appeared in the New York City Militia on April 25, 1775 as one of 405 inhabitants of the City & County of NY who acknowledged having received a musket and accoutrements from the Corporation of said City & who promised to return the same on demand. (NY Historical Society. Collections for the year 1915, v. 2, pp. 498-505). "A List of Five Hundred Inhabitants of NY City in 1775 with their Occupations and Addresses" by Dorothy C. Barck. (NY Historical Society Quarterly Bulletin, v. 23 [1939], pp. 23-31, 60-62, 109-110, 138-142). This is a list of 498 militiamen who in July & August 1775 returned the muskets which had been given to them in April 1775 (see above). All found in "Inhabitants of New York 1774-1776" by Thomas B. Wilson, p. 61.

Believe this is the same Peter Buckhout who is recorded in the New Amsterdam Dutch Reformed Church parish records, p. 178, New York City as having died on Nov. 14, 1786.

"Peter Bookhoud [sic], Grave, died November 14, 1786, buried November 15, 1786"

Noted events in his life were:

• Residence: May 1737, Bushwyck, Kings Co., NY, United States. 139

• Residence: Between Apr and Aug 1775, New York, NY, United States. 141

• Occupation: Tailor, Between Apr and Aug 1775. 141

• Burial Location: New Amsterdam Reformed Dutch Church, New York, NY, United States. 74

Peter married Tabitha Chichester,11 daughter of James Chichester and Ruth, on 25 May 1737 in Huntington, Suffolk Co., NY, United States 139.,142 Tabitha was born before 1717 in Huntington, Suffolk Co., NY, United States and died before 12 Mar 1744 in New York, United States.143

Marriage Notes: "The First Church in Huntington was organized at about the time of the settlement of the town, say 1660. It was then an Independent or Congregational Church, after the pattern of the churches of Connecticut, and did not become a Presbyterian Church until 1748, as appears in this record"

Extract from the Introduction to "Records of the First Church in Huntington, Long Island, 1723 - 1779."

Peter & Tabitha were married by Rev. Ebenezer Prime as recorded in the First Church parish records:

p. 71

"Huntington, 1737 May 25; Peter Buckhourt [sic], of Bushwyck, and Tabitha Chichester, of Huntington"

General Notes: Tabitha appears in the records of the First Congregational Church at Huntington, Long Island, NY as follows:

"1742 July 29 Tabitha Buckhourt"

Column heading "Sisters added since My Ordination." This is in reference to records kept by the Rev. Ebenezer Prime.

There are many "Chichesters" in this church's records which would imply the family attended for many years. Tabitha is deceased by the time her father, James Chichester, writes his will Jan. 10, 1769 as she is not mentioned, but a legacy is left to her son, Peter. It is actually probable that Tabitha has died by March 1744 when Pieter marries a second time to Sarah Gardenier.
