The History of the Several Towns, Manors, and Patents of the County of Westchester (1881 revised edition, Vol. I)
The latter by power of Attorney on the 30th day of Jan. 17 18, conveyed to Elizabeth Compton and Ebenezer Wilson." By will dated, April 3, 1744, Elizabeth Compton devised all her real estate, etc , to Sarah and Mary Canon, children of John and Jerusha Canon, remainder over, etc.d Sarah Canon died within age and without issue, whereas her sister Mary Canon, married John Pintard, had a son named also John Pintard, and died aged fifty-three, leaving no other children. By his last will dated March 16, 1842, John Pintard devised all his real and personal property to Andrew Warner, in trust for his daughter, Louise H. Servoss. Testator died, June 21, 1844. By deed dated, March 19, 1859, Andrew Warner conveyed all his said trust estate to Louise H. Servoss.6 Louise H. Servoss by her last will dated, Febuary, 1865, devises all her real estate, etc., to her son and executor, the present Elias Boudinot Servoss, Esq./ of Harlem, N. Y. Thus after a lapse of one hundred and eighty-one years, we find Mr. Servoss representing all the legal rights of Ebenezer Wilson, one of the five patentees of the purchase. William Nicolls, Esq., probably parted with his share soon after 1702.
" The only one of the original patentees who retained his portion was Samuel Haight, the ancestor of a prominent family of the town, in whose possession it remained until a comparatively recent day. Samuel Haight, like Harrison, himself and Lawrence, was a native of Flushing, L. I., and belonged to the Society of Friends. Indeed, nearly all the settlers of this purchase came from Flushing, and other towns of Long Island ; and most of these were of the same religious persuasion. It appears to have been from the first a ' Quaker ' settlement ; and from the fact that one of the original patentees was a leading member of that body, we are led to believe that such was designed to be the character of the enterprise from the first.?
