GEDCOM Note
This Old Monmouth of OursSidney Breeze was born at Shrewsbury, in the county of Salop, wales, in 1609. He came to this country before 1723, as a purser in the English Navy. In the Homeland he had been a strong supporter of the Pretender. He married, in the year last above written, Elizabeth, daughter of Captain Pinkethman, also of the British Navy, and at the time stationed in New York. Sidney Breeze remained a purser, an office that had many prequisites, as late as 1754. In 1763 he was Master of the Port of New York. He subsequently took up mercantile pursuits and was called, " a popular and hospitable man and a merchant of integrity." He died, 6-8-1767, and is buried in the yard of Trinity Church.THE BREESE FAMILYThis Sydney Breese was a Welsh gentleman distantly related to the Watkins Williams Wynn family, the present head of it being a very wealthy baronet of Wales. In political sentiment this Sydney was what was called in his day a Jacobite, that is an adherent of the Stuart family, and at the time of the rebellion in 1745, was about mounting his horse to join the Pretender's army when he heard of the defeat of the Pretender by the Royal army, under the Duke of Cumberland. Some years after this event he received from the government the appointment of purser of a man-of-war, and in that capacity continued for a number of years, but disliking the rservice he resigned his commission in the navy and emigrated to the City of New York, where his remains now rest in old Trinity churchyard.He settled in New York about 1756, married Ellizabeth Pinkerman, and opened a large fancy store, the first of the kind ever opened in the city. He was a remarkably handsome man, of great humor, somewhat eccentric, as his epitaph made by himself clearly shows; gave good dinners, sang a god song, and was in the largest sense, a bon vivant. <p>RIN: MH:N21</p>
