When Glode Requa, Sr., came to this Manor does not clearly appear, but probably soon after 1730, though the old Tax List of 1732 does not contain his name, and yet in the marriage record of his children, Jannitie, James, John and Daniel, in the old Dutch Church, the birth-place of all of them is given as Philipsburgh, the first named, married April 10, 1751, being the first public record of the family yet found either on this Manor or in this county.

No reference is made to tlie wife ofGlode, Sr., or the date of death of either of them, their places of burial being unmarked, but doubtless it was iti the old Dutch Churchyard, though* neither of them or their children were members of that Chinch.

Capt. Glode Requa.

Glode, Jr., or Capt. Glode Requa, as he came to be during the Revolution, was a well defined figure upon our local horizon, a distinct personality the date of whose birth and death, and place of residence, and burial, distinctly appear. He was born May 4th, 1727, and died Dec. 9th, 1S06. He married -- date not known -- Eimy Dean, daughter of Thomas Dean and sister of Sergt. John Dean of the Revolution, and had a family of six sous and three daughters. He was early appointed to the command of a Company of Militia on this Manor, and of the services so performed by him frequent mention is made in the applications for pension of those who served under him. The following accounts copied from the books of the State Treasurer show various sums paid to him and his command for such service :
