October 1689



Oct. 15.	1,189. Petition of James Kenvin, by order of Colonel Thomas Dongan, to the King. Dongan served many years in Spain and France until summoned home by King Charles II., when on leaving the French service the pay due to him by the French King was delivered me, and he was ordered to leave France in eight days. No compensation was given him in England until he was made Governor of New York, where he was obliged to spend £6,000 for defence of the Colony, for £2,000 of which his goods have been seized, and, but for the charity of those who remember his services, would have starved for want. He begs repayment of the sums that he has disbursed and leave to come home. 1 p. In the margin, Order of the King, referring the petition to Lords of Trade and Plantations for report. Signed, Shrewsbury. Endorsed, Recd. 23 Oct., 1689. Read 25 Nov., 1689. No order upon it. [Colonial Papers, Vol. LXV., No. 81.]
