In the "Beekman Tax Lists" for the Middle Ward, Dutchess Co., NY, a "Mathewes Bockhout" appears in the assessment years 1736/37 and 1737/38.

Matthys & Elizabeth appear as sponsors for the baptism of the following child in the Old Dutch Church, Kingston, Ulster Co., NY in 1737:

"Baptism by Domine Vas

#4778 Abraham, 15 May [1737], Parents: Jan Kankery & Annaatjen Storm, Sponsors: Matheus Boekhout, Elisabeth Martyn."

Matthys was living on the Cortlandt Manor at least between the years 1752 and 1769 as evidenced by this reference taken from a table in the "Landlord and Tenant in Colonial New York Manorial Society, 1664 - 1775" by Sung Bok Kim, 1978, p. 199:

General Notes: 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 - 643:

"John BOOKHOUT was born in Bushwick ca. 1713 and removed to Fishkill by 1744 (poss. 1742, see land information below) when he was taxed there. On 28 May 1755 he purchased 317 acres from Abraham Lefferts, merchant of the city of NY. This acreage was the northern part of lot 2, Rombout Patent; "Beginning at the Hudson River running to the line between the heirs of Andrew Teller, deceased, and the Courtland's; to the land of Philip Ver Planck, Esq; to the Wappingers Creek and back to beginning." The price for the land was £130. This land had been conveyed to John Bookout and William Barnes on 18 Aug. 1742. [Mortgage filed in Dutchess Co. 1:41]

John and Peter Boukout (prob. his brother) were taxed together in Rombout in 1755 and 1756. He may have lived at Poughkeepsie in 1753 and 1754 where a John Bookout Jr. was taxed."

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
Bookhout, John Jr.; 1745-1748
Bookhout, John and Peter; 1755, 1756
Bookhout, Peter; 1757-1763, 1765-1769
Bookhout, Estate of Peter; 1770"

The above information seems to indicate the John, his brother Peter and their father, Johannes Buckhout, all moved to Fishkill, in Rombout Precinct, Dutchess County. It is also possible that the father passed away sometime between 1748 and 1753, when John Bookhout is not referenced as "Jr." and could be "John Bookhout" himself. Certainly, this is implied by 1755 when what appears to be the same property [given the same neighbours and valuation of the property] is in the Assessment Records under the name of "John & Peter Buckhout."

Dutchess Co. Ancient Court Records and Land Records between at least 1758 and 1761, indicate John's wife was named Ann but confirmation of her identity, and whether she was the mother of all his children, is still speculative.

From the "List of Roads" abstracted in "Eighteenth Century Records of the portion of Dutchess County, New York that was included in Rombout Precinct and the original Town of Fishkill," edited by Helen Wilkinson Reynolds, Dutchess Co. Historical Society, Vol. VI, 1938, p. 252:

"1703, June 19. "Laws of the Colony of New York," vol. 1, p. 532, chapter 131. Act for the laying out, regulating, clearing and preserving of public, common highways throughout the colony. The Act provided for a road that should extend from King's Bridge, Westchester County, northward through Westchester, Dutchess and Albany, and which should be at the least four rods wide, English measure.

Although the ways to be laid out in Dutchess were to be at least six rods wide, the county was not to be obliged to clear or maintain any other path or highway than for horse and man only."

From the same book, there are two references to Johannis Buckhout, in the "List of Roads" as follows:

p. 253 - #64

"1757, May 24. Road Book C [1755-1788; records of the Clerk of Dutchess Co.], p. 9. Report made by Henry Terbos and Ezekiel Masten, commissioners, Rombout Precinct, that they have laid out the following road.

Beginning at Johannis Bookhouts house ---- to a chestnut saplin ---- thence all along the marked trees --- till it comes (on) the Road that Gose from Var Plancks storehouse ----- the same Road to be two rods wide, all along the Wopings Criek."

p. 254 - #102

"1773, April 5. Road Book C, p. 133 Report made by Peter I. Monfoort and Zebulon Southward, commissioners, Rumbout precinct, that by request they have laid out a road as follows.

Beginning from the road that leads from Mr. Philip Ver plancks Store House to the House formerly belonging to Johannas Bouckhout, deceased, --- from that road to the Store house of Daniel Weisbergh --- to be two rods wide."

John's will is found in NY County, NY Wills, Libre 27, p. 553 under "Bockhout, Johannis, Mar. 4, 1771." It was written 20 Aug. 1770 and proved Feb. 11, 1771:

[Note: I have tried to remain as true as possible to the actual spelling in the document]

"In the name of God, Amen. I, Johannes Bochout, of Rombouts Precinct, in Dutchess County, being weak in body, but of sound memory blessed be God do this twentys day of August in the year of our Lord one thousand Seven hundred and Seventy macke and publish this to be my last Will and Testament in manner following that is to say I hereby order thall all my onnest Debts shall be paid and of my reall and percell Estate and my Sister Hester by my Executors hereafter named and the Overplus of my Goods and Chattels to be divided among my four Sons and four Dathers in the manner fowling.

In witteness whereof The said Johannis Bockhout have to this my last Will and Testament set my hand and Seal the Day and Year abovewritten Johannis "X" [his mark] Bockhout Signed, Sealed and delivered by the said Johannis Bockhout as and for his last Will and Testament in the Presence of us who were present at the sigining and sealing thereof the Words and my Sister Hester where before the sealing in the 5 line [?] the Signing and Sealing of this written Will in the Presence of us Thomas "X" [his mark] Johnson, Samuel Barker, Dutchess County.

Bartholomew Crannell, Surrogate

The Right Honorable John Earl of Dunmore Captain's General and Governor in Chief in and over the province of New York and the Territories depending thereon in America, Chancellor and Vice Admiral of the same. To Isaac Vail Junior, of Rumbout Precinct in Dutchess County, Yeoman, principal Creditor of Johannes Bockhout late of the said County, Yeoman, deceased Sendeth Greeting. Whereas the said Johannis Bockhout in his life time made his last Will and Testament in writing bearing date twentieth day of August last and thereby appointed John Cooke and Joseph Thurston Executors thereof and soon after died. And whereas the said John Cooke and Joseph Thurston have by own Instrument in writing under their Hands and Seals bearing date the eighth day of February last relinquished and renounced their Right to the Executorship of the said Will as by the said Instrument filed in the Perogative Office of the said Province may appear. And whereas the said Will was afterwards on the elevent day of the said Month of February before Bartholomew Crannell, Esquire, Surrogate of the said County, duly proved and is now approved and allowed of by me. I desiring thereofre that the Goods, Chattels and Credits which were of the said Johannes Bockhout may be well and faithfully Administered converted and disposed of according to the true intent and meaning of his said Will (a copy where is hereunto annexed) Do grant unto you the said Isaac Vail Junior full Power to collect levy recover and receive all and singular the Goods, Chattels, Rights and Credits of the said Johannis Bookhout deceased and the same to administer and dispose according to the Tenor and Effect of his said last Will and as the Law directs being first in due form of Law to fulfil the Will of the said deceased and to pay his Debts and Legacies as far as his Goods, Chattels and Credits will thereunto extend and the Law bind you and also to make or cause to be made a true and perfect Inventory of all and singular the Goods, Chattels and Credits of the said deceased which have or shall come to your hands, Possession or knowledge and to exhibit the same into the Registry of the Perogative Court of this Province on or before the fourth day of September next ensuing and to render a just and true Account thereof when thereunto lawfuly required. And I do by these presents nominate constribute and appoint you the said Isaac Vail junior Administrator of all and singular the Goods, Chattels and Credits which were of the said Johannis Bookhout decised together with his Will annexed. In testimony whereof I have caused the Perogative Seal of the Province of New York to be hereunto affixed at the City of New York the fourth day of March one thousand seven hundred and seventy one."

It is interesting to note in the latter document the following statement:

"Whereas the said Johannis Bockhout in his lifetime made his last will and testament in writing bearing date the twentieth day of August last and thereby appointed John Cooke and Joseph Thurston Executors thereof and soon after died..." This would seem to indicate John likely died in August or early September 1770.

A bit of history about Rombout Precinct and Fishkill settlement:

The territory constituting the South Ward included the present Putnam County, New York (set off from Dutchess in 1812). It extended from the boundary of Westchester County northward to a line between Hudson's River and the Colony of Connecticut. That line began at the river at the mouth of the Wappingers Creek and ran inland due east.

When wards were abolished and precincts laid out, Rombout precinct (at first called "the Fishkills") was created. It did not include the area which is now Putnam County, but conformed very nearly to the boundaries of the tract of land, title to which was covered by the Rombout Patent. Rombout Precinct was equivalent to the area now divided into the towns of Fishkill, East Fishkill, Wappinger and the west half of the town of La Grange.

John married Ann.²³⁹ Ann died between 14 Apr 1761 and Aug 1770 in Fishkill, Dutchess Co., NY, United States.^²³⁹

General Notes: Peter was likely a witness at his cousin's baptism (his father's brother was Peter Buckhout, the father) along with his sister Hester (then unmarried):

"New Amsterdam Reformed Dutch Church (New York City)
Feb 19, 1752; Pieter Boekholt, Sara Gardenier; Johannes; witnesses: Petrus Boekholt, Hester Boekholt, j.d."

On May 30, 1768, Pietor Boeckhout, of Rumbout Precinct, conveyed seven acres, two rods and thirty two perches, to Isaac Viele of Rumbout Precinct, for the sum of £50. It is noted that this parcel was adjacent to land in the possession of William Barrance. (Source: Original Deeds, Libre F. p. 247, Town of Fishkill, Rumbout Precinct, Dutchess Co., NY)

Peter married Jean on 2 Nov 1755 in Rumbout Precinct, Dutchess Co., NY, United States ¹³⁴ ^,242.^,243

Marriage Notes: From the "Records of Marriages & Baptisms of the Presbyterian Churches of Rumbout & Poughkeepsie" as copied from NY Genealogical & Biographical Record, Volumes LXVIII, LXIX and LXX, Sept. 12, 1941:

Marriages, p. 34
"Nov. 2, 1755 Peter Buckhout & Jean Churchill (Widow)"

113 M iii. Jacob Buckhout .²⁴⁵ Another name for Jacob is Jacobus Buckhout.

General Notes: There is a Jacob Buckhout found in the Enlisted Men for the Second Regiment (Land Bounty Rights), Dutchess Co., NY Militia under Capt. John Brinkerhoff, Capt. Brown and Capt. John Bunschoten (from the book "NY in the Revolution as Colony & State" p. 240). He is in the same Regiment is Asa & George Elsworth. The land bounty rights was offered by government in 1781 as the demand for men to serve continued to increase and this was felt to be an effective incentive to enlist.

There is also a Jacob Buckhout mentioned as a defendant in the Ancient Court Documents of Dutchess Co., NY File #10594, Court of General Session Minutes, dated Oct. 14, 1783, held at Poughkeepsie. However, no further details are provided to indicate whether this is the same Jacob Buckhout, son of John.

General Notes: 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
Bookhout, John Jr.; 1745-1748

This could imply that Peter, his brother John, and his father John, all moved to Fishkill, Dutchess County, NY.

• Residence: Between 1755 and 1770, Fishkill, Dutchess Co., NY, United States. ²⁵⁶

Peter married Janettje Brouwer, daughter of Adolphus Brouwer and Jannetje Verdon, ____________.²⁵⁷ Janettje was born about May 1719 in Bushwyck, Kings Co., NY, United States,^²⁵⁸ was christened on 18 May 1719 in Bushwyck, Kings Co., NY, United States,^²⁵⁸ and died after 1794.^²⁵⁹ Another name for Janettje was Jane Buckhout.

General Notes: Jane (or Jannetje) is mentioned in numerous court and land records relating to property owned by her deceased husband, Peter Buckhout, who died about 1769.

In the "Dockets of Declarations" for Dutchess Co. court records, she is listed as follows:

"March 23, 1771: John Cooke vs. Jannetie Bookhout Ex'x.. Def. in case.. Js. Livington"

Mortgage Records, transcribed in "Eighteenth Century Records of the portion of Dutchess County New York that was included in Rombout Precinct and the original town of Fishkill," edited by Helen Wilkinson Reynolds, Dutchess County Historical Society, vol. VI, 1938, p. 158:

"Dutchess Co. Mortgages, Liber IV, p. 146
Thomas Brush, mortgagor, carpenter of Rumbout, to Jane Buckhout, widow, of Rumbout, mortgagee, loan £400, on the farm formerly owned by Peter Buckhout, deceased, which was conveyed by John Buckhout, eldest son of said Peter, to Jane Buckhout and by her to said Thomas Brush, recorded: June 4, 1784, witness: Conrad Elmendorp."

A full translation from the actual mortgage is documented below:

"Be it remembered that on the fourth day of June in the year one thousand seven hundred and eighty four Thomas Brush of Rumbout precinct in the County of Dutchess Carpenter mortgaged unto Jane Buckhout of the same place Widow all that certain tract or parcel of land situate in the precinct aforesaid and formerly the farm of Peter Buckhout deceased and which by lease and release bearing date respectively the twenty first and twenty second days of July last [i.e. July 21/22, 1783] was conveyed in fee to the said party of the second part by John Buckhout Eldest son and heir to and the Devisee of the last will and testatment of the said Peter Buckhout and which said premises were by lease and release bearing date respectively the first and second days of June Instant conveyed by the said Jane Buckhout to the said Thomas Brush and are in the second release more particularly mentioned and described as by the said release Relation being unto them had may more fully appear For securing the payment of a certain obligation in the sum of Eight hundred pounds lawful money bearing even date with these presents conditioned for the payment of four hundred pounds lawful money of this State of New York with lawful Interest for the same from the first day of May last, on or before the first day of May next ensuing the date hereof the said Mortgage was acknowledged before Gilbert Livingston Esqr. one of the Masters in Chancery for the State of New York by the oath of Conrad E.D. Elmendorp one of the subscribing witnesses on the twenty first day of August in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and eighty four.

Dutchess County Js. Registered the Twenty seventh day of August 1784. Henry Livingston, Clerk"

There is a further notation documented in the margin of the instrument which states:

"Cancelled the within mortgage 1st [?] of May 1794 by virtue of a receipt from Jane Buckhout dated 14th August 1793 approved as follows State of New York; I, Gilbert Livingston, in Chancery do certify that on the 10th [?] of May 1794 before me came John Drake Junior and I knowing him to be the Identify witness to the above discharge and having satisfactory evidence that he knew Jane Buckout by the oath of sd.

+ 120 F ii. Elizabeth Buckhout died on 19 Jan 1842 in Milan, Dutchess Co., NY, United States.^²⁵⁷

General Notes: While there is no direct evidence that Johanna is the daughter of Johannis & Esther (Hester) Buckhout, the circumstantial information seems to support the relationship.

Johanna & Adrian Van Ende appear in Bucks Co., PA baptising their daughter, Hester, on Aug. 1, 1742. The couple then reappear in Fishkill, Dutchess Co., NY in 1746 where they baptise their son, Johannis, on June 15th. Coincidentally, around the same time (about 1742), that Johannis Buckhout and his sons had also moved to the Fishkill area.

Adrian also appears in the Land Deed records for Dutchess Co., NY.

Johanna married Adriaen Van Enden, son of Paulus Van Enden and Jannetie. Adriaen was born before 1712 in Bushwyck, Kings Co., NY, United States^{²⁶³^,264} and died about 1792 in Dutchess Co., NY, United States.^²⁶⁴

General Notes: Adrian was born most likely before 1712 in Bushwyck, Kings Co., NY. He and his brother, Hendrick, were witnesses to the will of David Sprough, of Bosswyck [sic], Kings County, NY written Oct. 23, 1731 and proved May 15, 1739.

Adrian and his wife, Johanna, baptised one child in Pennsylvania and then settled, by at least 1743, in Dutchess Co., NY. Adrian is found in the Tax Lists for Rumbout Precinct from 1743/44 to 1746/47 on property valued at £1 to £2. In the first instance, likely Feb. of 1743/44, he is found living near to his father-in-law, John Bookhout.

Adrian was in Poughkeepsie Precinct, Dutchess Co., NY by at least March 27, 1750 when he is referenced in a land conveyance between John Maxfield and John Bookhout Jr. (his brother-in-law) as follows:

John Maxfield of Poughkeepsie Precinct in Dutchess County in the Province of New York, Gentleman, and Elizabeth, his wife, conveyed to John Bookhout Junior of Rumbout Precinct in Dutchess County in the Province of New York, Blacksmith, in consideration of the sum of Two Hundred and Fifty Pounds… "all that Certain Tract or Parcell of Land situate lying and being in Poughkeepsie Precinct in Dutchess County (being part of a Tract of Land called the Fifteen Hundred Acres) Beginning at Robert Churchill's southerly corner of his land being a heap of stones lying on a Ledge of Rocks, thence along said Churchil's Line north Forty degrees West Eighty two chains fifty Links to said Churchill's Northwesterly Corner and also a Corner of Roeloff Ostrum's Land thence south Sixty one Degrees west five chains Twenty Nine links to a heap of Stones then North Eighty Two Degrees West Two Chains thirty links to an Elm Tree Being the Eastermost Corner of Adriyaen Van Ende's Land..."

He was subsequently the subject of this land transaction, also written on Mar. 27, 1750. John Maxfield of Poughkeepsie Precinct in Dutchess County in the Province of New York, Gentleman, and Elizabeth, his wife, conveyed 195 acres to Adrian Van Enden, of Rumbout Precinct in Dutchess County in the Province of New York, Cordwainer, in consideration of the sum of Two Hundred and Fifty Pounds…

Adrian signed with his mark "A" as a witness to his brother-in-law, Simon Flageler's will, in Charlotte Precinct, Dutchess Co., NY on Nov. 29, 1774.

Adrian is then found in Poughkeepsie Precinct tax lists, living adjacent to two brothers-in-law, John Bookhout Jr., and James Glean in Feb. 1754. He continues to reside there through at least 1763 based on subsequent tax information (and likely longer).

Peter Prindle, a descendant, wrote "Van Anden - Van Enden Family" in 1980, a copy of which is in the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. In this compilation, he indicates mention of Adriaen and his family as noted in Stephen Van Anden's Bible*, 1851, records as follows, p. 44:

"Family Records

Hester Van Anden was born about the year A.D. 1730. Was married to Storms. Died in Dutchess Co.

Paul Van Anden was born A.D. January 1, 1736. He was married to Sarah Hagaman who was born Dec. 17, 1784 -- died 1809 by whom he had eleven children."

*The author writes in the Foreward that "The entries in the family record section were made in a beautiful hand by Stephen's son Horace Gilbert Van Anden, born 17 July 1815."

At some point, they began investing in Dutchess Co., NY where Suannah's father and brothers had moved to in 1742. They appear in land & tax assessments records there from about 1760.

Recorded on 4 Oct. 1742, George Ellsworth's Mill is mentioned in the laying out of Highways in Beekman Precinct as found in "Old Miscellaneous Records of Dutchess County (The Second Book of the Supervisors and Assessors)," published by Vassars Brothers' Inst., Poughkeepsie, NY, in 1909, p. 176 as follows:

Another name for James was James Glean.

Marriage Notes: James and Engeltje were married at the Fishkill First Reformed Church in Fishkill, Dutchess Co., NY as evidenced by this entry in the church records:

"[item] # 62: 1743 Feb 20: Jaems Glen, j.m., Engeltje Boechout, j.d."

It is interesting to note that James and Engeltje were cousins of a sort (James' mother, Susannah, and Engeltje's father, Johannes, being half siblings) when they married.

• Marriage Location: First Reformed Church, 20 Feb 1743, Fishkill, Dutchess Co., NY, United States. ²⁷⁴

General Notes: James Gleen [sic] is found in the Tax Assessments records for Rumbout Precinct, Dutchess Co., NY for the years 1742/3 and 1743/4. He is living near John Bookhout, William Barnes and John Concklin.

Recorded in the Probate records: April 11, 1775. The witness "Adrian Van ander" is in fact Simon's brother-in-law, Adrian Van Enden, husband of Johanna Buckhout, sister of his wife (H)Esther.

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

"1741 Aug 23 Peter Buckhourt"

Column heading "Males Baptised by E.P." This is in reference to records kept by the Rev. Ebenezer Prime. This is the same church where Peter's parents were married in 1737.

Peter is mentioned in his grandfather, James Chichester's will written Jan. 10, 1769 and proved Jan. 7, 1774 found in New York Co., NY, excerpt as follows:

"...I will and bequeath unto my Daughter Abigail Chichester and my Grandson Peter Buckhout all the Remainder of my personal Estate after the above Debts, Legacies and Expenses are paid to be equally divided between them and to their disposal..."

There is also a further change to his will, which replaces a legacy left to Granddaughter, Margaret Bennett, "...Notwithstanding what is above written my Will is that the thirty pounds above given to Margaret Bennet shall not be paid to her but shall be equally divided between my Daughter Abigail and Peter Buchout which I give to them and their heirs and assigns forever (Is Witness my hand and seal this twenty fourth day of July 1771 which I publish and pronounced to be an Alternation in my Estate ...)."

Peter left Long Island and is living in Wilton, Fairfield Co., CT by at least 1779 when he marries Sarah Lockwood "of Norwalk," recorded in the Wilton Congregational Church records. Their children, Betsey, Abigail and Jesse, are all born after 1780. Peter is enumerated in Fairfield Co., CT in the 1790 census, for Norwalk & Stamford, with one son < 16 yrs and "2 free white females" which are most likely his daughters. Peter married a second time to Susannah St. John in November of 1791. Sarah having passed away prior to this date.

In the 1800 Norwalk, Fairfield Co., CT census, the family consists of 1 male 10 < 16 yrs and 2 females 16 < 26 yrs, in addition to Peter and his wife (assuming she is female > 45 yrs). By 1810 the family is residing in Wilton and only Peter and his wife, Susannah, are indicated. Peter continues to reside in Wilton parish, Norwalk, Fairfield Co., CT until about 1818 when he and Susannah move to Walton, Roxbury Co., NY.

Various land records for both Wilton and Stamford in Fairfield Co., CT chronicle land purchases and sales made by Peter & Susannah.

On Nov. 10, 1806, Peter & Susannah Buckhout of Wilton sold three pieces of land to Caleb Hoyt for $ 475.00 as follows (source: Land Records, Wilton, Fairfield Co., CT, Book 1, p. 285):

"Know ye that Mr. Peter Buckhout & Susannah Buckhout his wife of Wilton for the consideration of four hundred & seventy five dollars received to our full satisfaction of Caleb Hoyt of Wilton aforesaid do give, grant, bargain, sell and confirm unto the said Caleb and to his heirs and assigns forever three certain pieces of land lying in Wilton One piece at honey hill in Quantity about three acres be the same more or less, and bounded North on land belonging to Edmund & Jessie Ogden, East on pirambulating [?] line between Wilton and Weston, South to bounds [?word] adjoining Matthew Marvin and West on highway.

[Note: this instrument was dated Dec. 11, 1806 but recorded Dec. 1, 1806 - so the deed date is likely incorrect.

On Nov. 18, 1806, Ezra Waterbury of Stamford, Fairfield Co., CT sold to Peter Buckhout of the town of Wilton, 9 acres as follows (source: Land Records, Stamford, Fairfield Co., CT, Book O, p. 736):

"I, Ezra Waterbury of Stamford, in Fairfield County and State of Connecticut for the consideration of One Thousand and Fifty Dollars received to my full satisfaction of Peter Buckhout of the Town of Wilton in said State of Connecticut, do give, grant, bargain, sell and confirm unto the said Peter Buckhout his heirs and assigns forever, a certain piece or parcel of land situate and lying in sd Stamford, in the parish of Middlesex, containing Nine Acres, be the same more or less, with a dwelling house & Barn & other houses standing thereon, with a blacksmith's shop standing on the highway adjoining said land, and is bounded as follows, Westerly by the stage road, Northerly by a highway that leads to longneck, Easterly by Gorum's mill pond, & Southerly by Enos Wilmut's Land.

Thaddeus & Peter now had joint interest in this land. Shortly after the above sale, on Sept. 16, 1808, Thaddeus & Peter sold the same property (including the blacksmith's shop and buildings) for $ 1250.00 to David Bunnell of Watertown, County of Litchfield. (Source: Land Records, Stamford, Fairfield Co., CT, Book Q, p. 174)

David, then mortgaged the land back to Peter Buckhout & Thaddeus Keeler for $ 900 with conditions noted "...the above Deed is such that whereas the sd David is justly indebted unto the sd Peter in the sum of six hundred twenty five dollars, by two Notes of him of even date one payable on the 1st day of March 1809 for three hundred & twenty five dollars.

• Residence: 1790, Norwalk & Stamford, Ridgefield Co., CT, United States. ²⁸⁵

Peter married Susanna St. John,¹³¹ daughter of Daniel St. John and Mary, on 24 Nov 1791 in New Canaan, Fairfield Co., CT, United States.²⁹⁰ Susanna was born in Connecticut.

Marriage Notes: Peter and Susanna were married at the New Canaan Congregational Church as evidenced by this entry in the Parish Records, v. 1, p. 82:

"Marriages,

1791 Peter Buckout [sic] of Wilton and Susa [sic] St John Nov 24"

Peter next married Sarah Lockwood, daughter of John Lockwood and Unknown, about 1779 in Wilton, Fairfield Co., CT, United States.²⁹¹ Sarah died before 1790 in Connecticut.

Marriage Notes: Peter and Sarah's marriage is found in the Congregational Church records at Wilton, CT. This transcription is from a copy held in the Wilton Library. The date and year are missing but prior page was 1778 and subsequent was 1780, so it is reasonable to assume the marriage did occur in 1779:

"[no date visible] Peter Buckhout & Sarah Lockwood - [of ] Norwalk."
