    • David, the fourteenth and youngest child of Isaack de Forest and Sara du Trieux, was bom in 1669 and was therefore five years old when his father died. He was the third of the name among Isaack's children, two Davids (one born in 1663 and one in 1666) having preceded him. The record of his baptism is still to be seen in the register of the Church in the Fort, and on a certain old deed his signature is almost as black as when he wrote it; but otherwise we find few traces of him in the annals of New York.
