The following appears in records of the old Dutch Church : "Joost Palding expressed a desire to remove to New York with liis family and was asked to submit his account to the Consistory," date of August, 1710. Had probably been its Treasurer. It does not appear that he ever returned. The names of Joseph and Abram Palding appear in the census of New York city in 1737; probably sons of Joost. Joseph, who was born 1706, came to this manor to reside prior to 1755, for in a census of the north part of Philipsburgh of that year his name appears as the owner of two slaves. Probably was then living at what was long known as the Paulding place, about two miles east of Tarry town.

William Paulding, the son of Joost, or Joseph 'Paulding and Susanna White his wife, bapt. at New York, Dec. 7, 1735, was doubtless a grandson of the first mentioned Joost. The following record of his family copied from the original, contains interesting data :
