Miscellaneous 1691

[1691 ?] 1,253. ? to the Lords of the Treasury. Upon the petition of Thomas Dongan to the Queen, I find that he is entitled by several conveyances to great quantities of land in Staten Island and other parts of New York Province, of which he now desires confirmation. I am informed that most of Staten Island is held by him and other owners under reserved yearly rents of wheat, and his claims and the terms upon which he makes them are uncertain, but I understand that he desires a grant of the whole island with the fullest franchises. How far such a grant is reasonable or politic I cannot take it on me to determine. Draft with many corrections. 3 pp. [Colonial Papers, Vol. LXVI., No. 58.]
