James Requa, the second son of Glode, Sr., born 1729-30, u:.v ried Maritie Acker, daughter of Wolfert Acker, Sr., Dec. 20, 173.; , probably was married at the Tappan Church, as the marriage is records there, as well as in the old Dutch Church records. When she died • not known, nor how many children she left, but it must have been prim to Nov. 1766, as the following, copied from the records in the Register's office of Westchester County, testifies :

James Requaw.and Rebecca liis wife, of Philipse Manor, a Blacksmith, date of Nov. 3, 1766, conveyed lands to William Ascough, . certain house and lot of land being at Brown's Point, in the town of Rye, containing 4 acres and 10 rods; consideration, ^130.

The above suggests the interesting query, as to whether Janies Requa had not for a period at least, resided after his first marriage, and up to the time of his second marriage, in the town of Rye. Possible that property was the patrimony of his second wife. Certainly the grave of Iris first wife is not to be found in the old Dutch Churchyard, neither does bis second marriage appear in the old Dutch Church records.

This above is also of interest as being the first transfer of property by or to a Requa that appears in the old records, so far as has been discovered. And so James Requa was a blacksmith as well as a justice of the Peace, Supervisor, soldier, and farmer, and also the father of a numerous family, consisting of ten sons and three daughters.
