The Tarrytown Company originally elected Abraham Storm, for its Captain ; 4 George Combs, for its First Lieutenant ; 5 Joseph Appleby, for its Second Lieutenant; and Nathaniel Underhill, for its Ensign ; but all of these, except Lieutenant Combs, having declined the honors and responsibilities of offices, a new Election was held, and Gload Requa 6 was chosen in the place of Captain-elect Storm ; Cornelius Van Tassel was chosen Second Lieutenant, in the place of Lieutenant-elect Appleby ; and Sibourt Acker was chosen Ensign, in the place* of Ensignelect Underhill.
