Y., and died Nov. 26, 1774, aged 51. His portrait is in the Vestry of Trinity Church. An attempt was made in 1763 and 1766 to have a translation of the book of common prayer, (prepared by Mcss'"s Andrews, Barclay and Ogilvie) printed in New- York by Weyman, in the Mohawk language. But the difficulty to print such language was found almost insurmountable, as there was not at the time, "a Letter-makers founding House" in the ,< Colonies. Weyman completed nine sheets, or as far as the 74"J page, w^hen he died bankrupt. The work passed then (1771) into the hands of Hugh Gaiue, when 400 or 500 copies, it Is said, were printed.
