(II) Willem. probably the eldest child of Francois and Geertje (Willems) Dupuis, was born at Bushwick, and was among the pioneers of the locality made famous as the birthplace of the illustrious Senator Depew. It would seem that he had made camp on the point of land called by the Indians Meanagh or Mern- ach, and afterwards named Verplanck's Point, when the settlement had hardly begun, being then unmarried. He was at Mernach as early as 1688, and probably strayed over from Haverstraw, where his father had located a year or two previous and where his brother John continued to live for several years after- ward. He there made a home for his future bride, a maiden born on the island of Barba- does, and doubtless of English parentage, shown on the records as "Lysbeth Weyt." which in English would be Elizabeth White. She was living a little further down the river at a place bearing the Indian name of Kight- wanck, near the mouth of the Croton river, which stream also bore the name of the locali- ty. Record of the banns was posted on the register of the Dutch Church of New York, the nearest one to their home, which church issued a certificate permitting \\'illiam to marry at the home of the bride. The record is as follows: "loth August, 1688, Willem Dupuy, j.m. Van Boswyck, en Lysbeth Weyt, j.m. van de Barbadoes, d'Eerste wonende op Mernach, en twede tot Kichtewang." This marriage was probably celebrated in primitive style at Kichtewang during the following month, per- haps the first marriage in the Manor of Cort- landt, and spoken of as the forerunner of an event that made Peekskill renowned as the home of a great and popular orator in a later generation of the family.

William Dupuis had children as follows : Sara, married Willem Dill, Theil or Teil; Abigael, became the wife of Pieter Consje; Thomas, married Cornelia Lendel ; Anna, bap- tized at Tarrytown, August 2, 1698; Fran- cois, baptized at Tarrytown. August 20, 1700, married Maritje Van Thesel ; Petrus, of whom further. The father's name was usually spelled Dupuy.

Life Sketch

Willem, probably the eldest son of Francois Dupuis, was among the pioneers of the locality made famous as the birthplace of our illustrious Senator. He was there when settlement had hardly begun, a young man yet in single blessedness, and had Struck camp, it would seem, on the point of land called by the Indians Meanagh* or Mernach, and afterwards named Verplancks Point.

William was at Mernach as early as 1688. He had probably strayed over from Haverstraw, where his father had located a year or so before, and where his brother John continued to live for some years afterward. We can see him industriously toiling with logs and bark to make a home for his promised bride, a maiden no doubt of English parentage, born on the Island of Barbadoes. The record calls her " Lysbeth Weyt." In English we would say Elizabeth White. She was living a little further down the river at a place named by the Indians "Kightwanck," J and situated near the mouth of the Croton River, which stream formerly bore the same Indian name as was given the locality. Thus we interpret the record of his bans, as posted on the register of the Dutch Church of New York, then the nearest one to their home, which church also issued a certificate permitting William to marry at the home of the bride. This is the first record of William, and as it tells pretty near his whole history up to this time, proving by his birth-place his connection with the family of Francois, it is here reproduced as follows: "loth Au- gust, 1688." "Willem Depuy, j. m. Van Boswyck, en Lysbeth Weyt, j. d. van de Barbados, d' Eerste wonende op Mernach, en twede tot Kichtewang." "Vertoog verleent, om te trouwen tot Kichtewang."

The marriage was probably executed in the most primitive style at Kichtewang during the following month, and if not the first wedding in the Manor of Cortlandt, it was the forerunner of an event that has made Peekskill renowned as the home of a great and popular orator.

William Dupois had children:

Sara, married Willem Dill, Theil or Teil Abigael, married Pieter Consje Thomas, married Cornelia Lendel Anna, baptized at Tarrytown, August 2, 1698 Francois, bp 20 Aug 1700 married, at Tarrytown, June 3, 1727, Maritje Van Thessel Pieter
