Notes for Claude (Glaude) LE MAISTRE
1652:
“Glaude Le Maistre, a French Huguenot, who came to America in 1652 from Holland, and settled on Long Island, is the ancestor of all of the Delamaters in this country.”1065
Exiled from his home in Richebourg, Artois, France, Glaude was living at Loyerdwarsstraet at Amsterdam when he married his third wife Hester DuBois (who was born in Canterbury, England). He came to America in 1652 and spent his first few years in Flatbush as a carpenter.98
”After escaping the country he comes to notice at Amsterdam, in 1652, an exile and a widower, living in the Tanners’cross-street, having lost his wife, Jeanne De Lannoy. On April 24, 1652 he married Hester, daughter of Pierre Du Bois, of Amsterdam, though late of Canterbury, England, where Hester was born. Some of the Le Maistres had also taken refuge at Canterbury, and circumstances make it nearly certain that Glaude was among them, and with the Du Boises had left England because of the civil wars then raging, or the threatened rupture with Holland, and perhaps in his case, to take ship for New Netherland, as he soon did, appearing with Tourneur first at Flatbush, and afterward at Harlem.”1065
1661-1673:
“They lived at Flatbush about ten years, where he farmed and worked as a carpenter and where four of his children were born. He sold his farm and two village lots there July 31, 1662 and bought two allotments of land at Harlem, from Daniel Tournour, probably the same year. Here he spent the remainder of his life, where he owned various pieces of property, among which was 12 morgens (24 acres) bordering the Harlem River, and shown on the map as Goudie’s Point. He served the town in various ways, having been a Justice of the Peace four terms, from 1666 to 1673.”1065
On 22 Aug 1661 he applied for land on Staten Island, but ended up settling in New Harlem. He served four terms as a magistrate until his sympathies for the French caused a dispute about his pay. In 1665 he was elected a deacon.98
“In the year 1666, Charles II, King of England, issued to his brother, the Duke of York, a Patent, or Grant, conveying, with other lands, the Island of Manhattan. Thereupon the Duke of York...issued in the month of May, 1666, a Grant, Patent, or Charter, to the Freeholders and Inhabitants of Harlem... On October 11, 1667 a second Nicolls Patent was issued, and in 1686 a third Patent, or Charter, was granted...ratifying and confirming the first Patent mentioned; the latter Patent naming all the Freeholders and Inhabitants of Harlem, as grantees and member os the Corporation, the Town of New Harlem.” Listed were: Resolved Waldron, Jan Delamater, Isaac Delamater, and Hester Delamater.1066
