David Williams subsequently removed from South Salem, or Cortlandt's manor, to Livingstonville, in Schoharie county, New York, where he bought a farm of General Daniel Shays, and resided upon it until his death, August 2d, 1831. He left a widow, 4 sons and 3 daughters. He was the object of much regard, from the interesting historical event with which his name is associated; and the year before his death he became the guest of the city of New York. The bones of Williams have been recently removed from Livingstonville, Schoharie county, to Renselaerville, Albany County, wherp it is proposed to erect a monument to his memory. This is only doing justice to the good man's character; for his two companions, Paulding and Van Wart, have long ago been honored by a grateful public in the erection of monuments to their memories.

Edmund Ward, the former owner of the Somerville estate, was the only brother of the Hon. Stephen Ward. During the Revolution, Edmund appears to have sided with the loyalists, for which he lost his property under the confiscation act of 1782. His second son, John Ward, was an officer in the Loyal American regiment, "and entered (remarks Sabine) the military service of the Crown as early as 1776. During the war he was frequently in battle. The Loyal Americans went to New Brunswick, in 1783; and when in the course of that year the corps was disbanded, he settled at St. John as a merchant. He filled various public stations, and for many years enjoyed the appellation of " the father of the city." At the time of his decease, he was not only the senior magistrate of the city and county of St. John, but the oldest merchant and half-pay officer in New Brunswick. Mr. Ward was a gentleman of noble and venerable appearance.
