Your file includes an entry for Ellis O. Duxbury and his wife, Mary Haine (married in London in 1677) with no further information. Mary was the daughter of Elizabeth Lovelace, sibling of Richard Lovelace (The Cavalier Poet), and of Francis Lovelace (second British governor of New York) and his two brothers, Thomas and Dudley. While Francis and Dudley were returned to Europe by the Dutch when they re-took New York in 1673, Thomas managed to put off both his ordered departure and the confiscation of his 350 acre farm on Staten Island. When Thomas was approaching death in 1688-89, having no living descent, he left this farm to his niece Mary Duxbury, who came up from Barbados to take posession, arriving after Thomas' death. Mary apparently cared for Thomas' elderly wife for the three years she survived her husband. Mary's husband, Ellis, succeeded her in the ownership of the property. When Ellis died, he left the property to St. Andrew's Church and it was known thereafter as the Duxbury Glebe.

I am aware of this story because my mother is a Lovelace who can reliably document her ancestry to 1734 in Rhode Island. Family lore has always indicated that they are descended from the family of William Lovelace of Woolwich, father of Anne (Gorsuch), Richard, Thomas, Francis, Elizabeth (Haine), William, Joanna (Ceasar), and Dudley. While the Lovelace Family is well documented from 1367 through the 1670s, Gov. Francis apparently never married (though there is some confusion about this), and, with the move of at least four of the siblings to the New World, documentation on their descent is fragmented and scattered. We suspect about a two generation gap in the documentation. In the unlikely event that your Duxbury researches should provide any collateral information about the Lovelaces, my mother and I would be most interested.

I thought you might appreciate a brief summary of my researches on the landscape. Apparently, any lasting efforts to settle Staten Island during the Dutch times faltered -- never went anywhere. It was during Gov. Francis Lovelace's term (1668-1673) that the Amerind treaty which "took" was signed and brother Dudley and two assistants were sent over to do the original surveys. The Lovelaces had first dibs on the land, of course, and Francis' farm stretched west from the northeast point along the Kill van Kull (the island's closest point to the city), with Dudley's expanse adjoining to the west and Thomas' to the south east (New Brighton) approaching the Narrows . In trying to picture where Thomas' farm was located in modern terms, I speculated that it might have been near the western abutments of the Verazano Bridge. When the Dutch Fleet returned in July 1673, Thomas was at his farm. As they came through the Narrows and stopped at Francis' farm, as one historian put it, to breakfast on the Governor's cattle and swine, Thomas sailed up the harbor and gave the first warning to Fort James.

With the Dutch return, Thomas managed. by ruses such as feining illness -- and generally keeping his head down, to stay on the farm until the British came back nine months later. However, this didn't do him as much good as he had hoped; the Duke of York blamed the Lovelaces for the temporary loss of his colony and Francis, imprisoned in London, was subjected to an inquiry into his responsibility for the loss, short circuited by his death in 1675. For Thomas, Royal disfavor meant that he could never get his title reaffirmed. (It was finally regularized in Mary Duxbury's time by Queen Anne.

Thomas lived out the rest of his life on Staten Island, holding local positions such as constable. We know that one son, William, died in NYC as a pre-teen in 1671 and, as the nephew of the Governor, was given what was probably the most ceremonious funeral yet seen in New York. A Francis Lovelace died in Baltimore in 1684 and his will listed him as a nephew of the Governor; he may have been another son of Thomas (or maybe Dudley). If the former, he pre-deceased his father. No suggestion of other children has come to notice.

Sincerely,
