CHAPTER XXVIII
THE FAMILY OF LOUIS DUBOIS, JR., SON OF LOUIS
THE PATENTEE
Louis DuBois, Jr., was born in 1677, and in 1701 married Rachel Hasbrouck. He settled on a
portion of the same tract as his brother Solomon, which had been granted by patent to their father,
the original Louis. Where Louis, Jr., built his house we do not know, but it was somewhere on the
County, House plain a little south of his brother's. The locality where Louis, Jr., located was called
until quite recently by the Indian name of Nescatack, changed in modern times to Libertyville. In an
ancient document the name of Louis, Jr., appears with the title of Captain, but we have no
information as to any military service performed by him. Louis DuBois, Jr., left three sons,
Jonathan, Nathaniel and Louis. He also had threee daughters, Maria, Mary and Catharine. The first
named married Johannes Hardenburgh of Rosendale.
Solomon and Louis DuBois, Jr., sold to Roelif Eltinge, in 1726, the land where Edmund Eltinge
resided and the original deed was still in Mr. Eltinge's possession. It read as follows:
To all Christian people to whom this present writing shall or may come. Lewis DuBois and
Solomon DuBois, both of the New Paltz, for divers, good causes and considerations, them thereunto
moving, have remised, released, and forever quit-claimed and by these presents for themselves and their
heirs do fully, freely, clearly, and absolutely remise, release and forever quit-claim unto Roelif Elting, of
the same place, yeoman, in his full and peaceable possession and to his heirs and assigns, forever, all such
right, estate, title, interest and demand forever, as they the said Lewis DuBois and Solomon DuBois, had
or ought to have, of out, or in, to
all that certain tract or parcel of land which, lying and being at the New Paltz aforesaid, on the west
side of the Paltz Kil on the grant, piece now in possession of the said Roelif Eltinge and likewise
all the land on the east side of the said Kill, now in possession, of the said Roelif Eltinge, together
with the house, barn, orchards, pastures and all and every thing appurtenances, thereunto belonging or in
any wise appertaining to have and to hold the above remised and released premises, with all and every the
appurtenances, thereunto belonging unto the said Roelif Eltinge, his heirs and assigns, forever, so that
neither, they the said Lewis DuBois and Solomon DuBois nor their heirs, nor any other person from, by
or under them, shall claim, challenge or demand any right, title or interest into or to the premises or any
part thereof.

There seems to have been some misunderstanding as to the
exact boundary between the Paltz patent and the DuBois patent occupied by Louis and Solomon,
and Mr. Samuel B. Stillwell had among his papers, a document in the hand writing of the late Josiah
DuBois, and copied in 1850 by him from the original, bearing date in 1729 and establishing the line
as follows:
Pursuant to his excellencies warrant dated the 13th day of November last to me directed, I have by
the mutual consent and agreement of Solomon DuBois and Lewis DuBois, owners of a tract of land
adjoining to the south bounds of the lands of the New Paltz and of Abm. DuBois, Jacob Hasbrouck,
Daniel Hasbrouck and likewise other proprietors and owners of the said New Paltz, surveyed the
south bounds of the lands of the said New Paltz as follows, viz: Beginning at a certain high point in
the hills lying on the west side of the New Paltz River and from thence runs south thirty-five
degrees east to a stone set in the ground on the east side of the highway, and at the west end of a
small gully, which falls in the Paltz River and lyes between the fence of the lands of the said New
Paltz and the lands of the said Solomon DuBois and Lewis DuBois which stone was allowed by
both parties to have been placed there as a mark of the boundaries between the land of the said
Solomon and Lewis DuBois and the lands of New Paltz and from the said stone down the said gully
two chains and 46 links to the Paltz river, then crossing the said river runs from the opposite side
thereof south 56 degrees and 40 minutes east to the south side of Geffrow's hook and the north east
corner of John Barbour's land on Hudson River. Given under my hand, this 7th day of April in the
second year of his majesty's reign, Anno Dom. 1729.
Copy -- -- Caldwallader Colden, Jr.
P. S. The stone referred to is marked on the north side P. L. (meaning I think Paltz limits) on the
south side D. D. B. There are more such stones on the same line, on the east side of the Wallkill, if
not lost.
"Louis Du Bois, sixth son and ninth child of Louis (2) and Catherine (Blanshan) Du Bois. Louis Du Bois was born in 1677. He married January 19, 1701, Rachel Hasbrouck, daughter of Abraham and Maria (Deyo) Hasbrouck, the former a patentee. Louis died in 1717."
