HISTORY OF THE COUNTY OF WESTCHESTER .

The death of the patentee, John Richbell, appears to have taken place some time in January, 1684, as we find Mr. John Timan petitioning the governor and council for administration on the estate of John Richbell, January, 1684.0

The following extracts are taken from the will of Mrs. Anne Richbell, his wife, which bears date 1st of April, A.D. 1700.

"In the name of God, amen. I, Ann Richbell, of the town of Mamaroneck, in the county of Westchester, in the Province of New York, gentlewoman, being sick and weak in body, but of good and perfect memory, (blessed be the Lord for it,) who hath now put it into my heart to set my house in order, by making this my last will and testament, in manner as followeth : Imprimis, I give and bequeath my soul into the hands of Almighty God, my creator, and my body to the earth from whence it came, to a decent and comely burial at the direction of Colonel Caleb Heathcote.
