These according to Dr. Burch were Bibles, prayer books, flagon, two chalices, a paten, a communion cover, and a bell. Of these a chalice and paten remain and may be seen in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, gallery H. 12. A photograph has recently been made at the instance of Mr. James M. Talbot. On April 3, 1723, a call was given to Rev. Robert Wyman, a missionary of the Venerable Society of Pennsylvania.

On 17 November 1716 Abraham Titsworth and Margaret, his wife, sold to Nathaniel Britton, Esq., 80 acres on the South side of Staten Island, adjoining Nathaniel's other land, being 1/3 of 240 acres which Titsworth had purchased. The deed was acknowledged before Abraham Cole, Justice, recorded 28 Feb 1720/21, for Maj. Nathaniel Britton.

On 19 November 1716 Abraham Titsworth and wife sold to Nathaniel Britton, Esq., 160 acres, being 2/3 of the 240 acres on the South side of Staten Island, west of the Great Pond. The deed was acknowledged before Abraham Cole, Justice and recorded 8 July 1719.
Ibid.

Will dated 1 June 1729 proved 11 Nov 1729. Called Nathaniel Britton, Esq., of Richmond County, being "dangerously ill." He states that he has thirteen children now living, six sons and seven daughters, and names them as Nathaniel, Richard, Nicholas, Abigail, Elizabeth, Alice, Rebecca, John, Samuel, Mary, Sarah, Rachel, and William. The first four having been provided for during my lifetime, the fifth and sixth having been partialy provided for. Gives to his wife, Elizabeth, one third of his personal property. Devises to son William, a lot of 60 acres, plus salt meadow at the head of the Fresh Kill purchased from James Dye, with condition that he (William) pay to grandson Nathaniel, son of son Abraham, deceased, the sum of 30 pounds when Nathaniel reaches lawful age. Calls daughter, Elizabeth, the wife of James Poullion; daughter Alice, the wife of John Coward. Mentions daughters Rebecca, Mary, Sarah, and Rachel as underage. Appoints wife Elizabeth and son John as executors. Witnessed by Lions (?) Stillwell, James Carmen, Daniel Sayre, Jr. (NYHSW 11:150) (Abstract here as per Britton Genealogy pp.8-9).
Ibid.

It appears, based upon the approximated ages of some of Nathaniel's older children, that Elizabeth Gerritson was not the mother of all of Nathaniel's children. It is apparent that Nathaniel had a first wife who has not been identified, and it is apparent that the six older children, Nathaniel, Richard, Nicholas, Abigail, Abraham and Elizabeth are from the first marriage. Alice is likely from the first marriage as she was married in 1729 which would place her birth before 1714. Rebecca was under age in 1729 which would place her birth between 1708 and 1728, therefore her mother cannot be determined. The last six, John, Samuel, Mary, Sarah, Rachel, and William are likely from the second marriage to Elizabeth Gerritson.

Children by Elizabeth:
John Britton b. ca. 1714
Samuel Britton b. ca. 1715
Mary Britton b. ca. 1717
Sarah Britton b. 1719
Rachel Britton b. 5 Mar 1721, d. 1814
William Britton b. ca. 1723, d. 15 Mar 1804

It is likely that Walter Wall had become a widower, and had bound out his daughter, Mary, a mere child, for her better bringing up, to Nathaniel Britton.
(WALL of Monmouth County, NJ)
His parents were Richard Brittaine and Christian Reymers of Somersetshire, England.



Nathaniel’s parents: Nathaniel Brittaine 1640-1684. When Nathaniel Brittaine was born in 1640 in Birmingham, Warwickshire, England, their father, Richard, was 23, and their mother, Katherine, was 60 (this age cannot be true). He died in February 1684 in Staten Island, New York, at the age of 44, and was buried in Bermondsey, Surrey, England (death and burial locations do not make sense).

Anne Stillwell may have ben born about 1635-40, probably in Virginia, where her father was sojourning at this date. Her childhood was largely spent in Gravesend, Long Island, where she became the wife of Nathaniel Britton, a dry goods merchant, who sold his stores in all the villages on the west end of the Island, and who joined farming and occassionally tapping, to his other industries.

Abigail Hopton - birth and death dates unknown
Annetje Van Dyke - 1602 born Staten Island died 1686 in New York buried Gravesend. According to findagrave she was married later to William Foster (dates unknown) and William Wilkens who died 1676.
Lt Nicholas Stillwell Born Staten Island, New York.
Burial: Unknown, Dover, Staten Island, Richmond Co. NY.
The Stillwells were descended from one of the most influential and important families, which first settled in New Amsterdam (New York) in the late 1630's while it was still controlled by the Dutch. The family originated in Surrey England. The progenitor of the family in America was Lt. Nicholas Stillwell, 1603-1671. To escape religious persecutions in England he went to Holland. There he offered his services as a soldier to Elizabeth the queen of Bohemia in support of Protestantism. After suffering defeat at Prague, he was one of the queen's escort during her flight to Breslau. It is rumored that he married one of her maids of honor, Abigail Hopton. Extensive research had yet to prove that that marriage happened. After the disbandment of the queen's army he and other family members came to New Amsterdam. He emigrated with his family to New Amsterdam, apparently in the 1640's. The Stillwells eventually settled at Graves End on Long Island with the Lady Moody colonists. Lt. Nicholas Stillwell commanded forces against the Indians in Virginia and later aided Governor Claybourne in MD. He owned one of the original 20 acre farms at Graves End. and eventually resided on 200 acres near Graves End. He was a lieutenant and commander in charge of the expedition against the Indians in the Esopus war. After completing that mission successfully he returned to New Amsterdam and served as a friend and confident of Gov. Peter Stuyvesant, the last of the Dutch governors before the English takeover of New Amsterdam.

His second son was Captain Nicholas Stillwell 1636-1714/15. He served as a justice and a constable at Graves End for a number of years. He also served as captain of the Graves End militia. From 1691-1698 he was a member of the colonial assembly from King's County NY. In 1693 he commanded the King's County contingent of men with the Fletcher expedition to Canada against the French and the Indians. He was a man who received many honors during his lifetime. He was also well educated which was an exception in the times in which he lived. Source: Genealogical and Family History of the Wyoming and Lackawanna Valleys, Pennsylvania, vol. II, pp146-147.

Source: Genealogy of the Miller and Pursel Families page 143 LT. NICHOLAS STILLWELL was born 1609, died 1671. The first of the Stillwells in America came from Surrey England 1635 to York Co., Va. He was appointed tobacco viewer of Virginia 1639. He was Lieut, in the war against the Indians 1664; removed to New Amsterdam, N. Y„ 1646 to Gravesend, L. I. 1649; magistrate there 1649-63; Lt. under the Dutch Esopus War 1663; married before 1647 Anne an English woman.
It is said that between Nicholas Stillwell and his daughter Ann's husband, Nathanial Brittain, there was more than ordinary affection.

Biography: Lieut. Nicholas Stillwell (1603 Dorking, Surrey Co., England - 12/28/1671 in Dover, Staten Island, NY) married Anne/Annetje (maybe) Van Dyck (~1618 Guilford, Surrey Co., England-?) ~1642. An Overview of the Life and Times of Nicholas Stillwell the Progenitor.

The following material is quoted from Stillwell, John E. (1929). The History of Lieutenant Nicholas Stillwell, Progenitor of the Stillwell Family in America, with Some Notices of the Family in the Kingdom of Great Britain, pages 86-88. New York City: [no publisher is named] All that is now known concerning Lieutenant Nicholas Stillwell has been recited. Perhaps more may come to light, but enough has been rescued, to establish him as one of the most conspicuous and stirring figures of his eventful time. At this late day he seems like an adventurer of fiction, or a hero of the romantic past. With his great natural force he dominated his fellow man, who during his long career perpetuated him in public office, both elective and appointive; and in private life he was the chief adviser of Lady Deborah Moody and a host of his fellow townsmen. Though possessed of a martial spirit, he was free from the swashbuckling and buccaneering qualities which in that day were prone to accompany prowess. Likewise his deportment was such that he avoided the many scandals and lawsuits common to his time, in the vicinity of New Amsterdam. His persistent activity, ready exposure to hardship, and the age he attained, justly creates the impression that he was a man of great physical strength and robust constitution. He was ever foremost where valor was called for, or where Dutch resistance to English aggression was needed. His sense of loyalty to his benefactors was paramount to all personal interests, and the intensely Dutch authority, T. G. Bergen, Esq., who was never accused of favoring any person or thing English, paid him the merited compliment of saying that he never swerved from his allegiance to the Dutch, which is more than could be said of many of his English neighbors. That he was hasty and passionate of speech under excitement, we concede, but it was only by a handful of malcontents and wrongdoers, against whom he had fearlessly stood alone in the turbulent moments, that he was called unreasonable and a disturber of the peace.

1609 -- Nicholas Stillwell Jr. was born at Collopmore/Colletmore, Dorking, Surrey, England.

Circa 1642 -- Nicholas Stillwell and Anne (Unknown) married at New Netherland.

Nicholas married Annetje Van Dyke. Annetje (daughter of Thomas Janse Van Dyke and Sytie Dirks) was born in 1602; died in 1686 in Brooklyn, Kings County, NY; was buried in Gravesend Cemetery, Brooklyn, NY. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/163409245/a_-v_-stillwell

Between Gravesend avenue, Lake street and the Village road is the oldest public cemetery in Kings County, having been established nearly 400 years ago and containing the names of the thirty-nine patentees of Gravesend, settled by Lady Deborah Moody in 1659. . .

. . . Most of the headstones of a date earlier than the Eighteenth Century are in the same condition [inscription indecipherable by the action of time and the elements], though there are many of those over a hundred years old still to be easily read. They mark the graves of Thomas Tilton, Samuel Holmes, John Lake, William Compton, Samuel Spicer, James Hubbard, John Tilton, John Bowne, John Griggs, Bayrent Juriansen, Obadiah Wilkinson, Ralph Cardell, Thomas D. Lavall, John Tilton Jr., John Cook, Nicholas Stillwell, Elias Bridges, Ann Wilkins, William Williamson, John Guinans, John Poland, John Applegate and William Golding. These were the original patentees who settled Gravesend in 1635.

Then, too, there are also a number of other graves occupied by the Holland Dutch who later had possession of the town. Among the latter interments are those of Mrs. Alletta Ann Stillwell, who, when she died in 1910, at the age of 83, was counted the richest woman in Gravesend. Since possession was given to the commissioners under the act, there have been interred over 400 bodies, all of them being relatives of the older settlers. The majority of the interments and the advanced age of the majority of those buried, indicates the healthfulness of the vicinity. Among these are John I. Voorhees, 62; William K. Vanderbilt, 70; Anna M. Johnson, 76; Susanne Graue, 76; Louise Van Sicklen, 73; Sarah Emmens, 83; Joseph B. Denyse, 67; A. V. Stillwell, 79; Stillwell Voorhies, 80; Peter H. Rumph, 78, and his wife, age 74; Jacobus Van Sicklen, 84; John Denyse, 63; Mary Morris, 76; David Snedeker, 87; John Johnson, 72; Gertrude Ryder, 83; William H. Morris, 75; Isaac Ryder, 63; Clara Hambeck, 83; Catherine Stillwell, 73; James R. Aldrich, 70; Cather Van Riper, 67; Sarah Snedeker, 75; Daniel C. Lake, 70; Jane Harland, 85; John H. Kouwenhoven, 76; Joachim Harloff, 89, and Lucy Caldwell, 103.

The only person having a plot there who was not related to the early descendants was John Y. McKane. He had one of the finest plots in the cemetery, which is still preserved, and in which a brother, Robert J. McKane, is buried. His own remains are interred in Greenwood Cemetery. . .

Annetje Van Dyke - 1686 in New York buried Gravesend. According to findagrave she was married later to William Foster (dates unknown) and William Wilkens who died 1676.

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Unknown-329619
Biography - Parents: It is not known who Ann's parents are and her surname never appeared in the records of New Netherland.
Presumed daughter of Thomas Janse Van Dyke and Sytje Verks Dirks.

There is a family tradition that she was Dutch and that she might have been a van Dyke or a van Dincklage and the daughter of one of the Schout Fiscaels in New Netherland, possibly Hendrick van Dyck/Dyke or Lubbert van Dincklage. Somewhere along the way, family genealogists have conflated all of the van Dykes into one family and she was given the parents of Thomas Jansz van Dyke and Sytie Dircks. There are no sources to support any of these parents.

"Of Ann, the wife of Nicholas Stillwell, the First, little is known. She was probably an English woman, for she subsequently became the wife of William Wilkins and of William Foster, both Englishmen, and nowhere among the Dutch records, wherein her name appears and where the opportunity has been ample, has her surname been given, as was common among the Dutch of that day."

"The statement that the wife of Nicholas Stillwell, the First, was a Dutch woman rests on too meagre evidence to be entertained. Judge Nicholas Stillwell, a descendant through Nicholas Stillwell, the Second, and a resident of Gravesend, had a hazy tradition that either the first or the second Nicholas Stillwell brought from Leyden, Holland, 'a Dutch wife and a couple of children'; and from Benjamin M. Stilwell came the assertion that she was either a Van Dyke or a Van Dincklage, daughter of the New Amsterdam Schout Fiscal of that name. With him, Benjamin M. Stilwell, it was merely a belief that she was a member of one of these two families, based upon some remote association in his mind of these names, but of proof he had none."

Supposed Parents
Father: Thomas Jansen Van Dyke b: 1580 in Amsterdam, Holland Mother: Sytje Dircks b: 1584 in Amsterdam, Holland

The only source found for her name so far is Early memoirs of the Stilwell family...
Name: Annetje "Anne" /VanDyke/
Birth: 1618 Holland, Reusel-de Mierden, Noord-Brabant, Netherlands
Note that this is a completely bogus birth location. Here is a Dutch Genealogy blog which explains the error. It should be removed wherever it is found, because it is extremely unlikely that many people's genealogical ancestors actually came from that small town.
