More Evidence that John Pell Died Well After 1702 or 1703 When Some Say
He Died in a Boating Accident on Long Island Sound
As I have noted before, there long has been
confusion regarding the date of death of John Pell, the nephew of Thomas
Pell of Fairfield, who inherited the Manor of Pelham following the death
of his uncle in late September, 1669. Pell family members long have
claimed that John Pell drowned in a boating accident during a storm on
Long Island Sound in 1702 or 1703. See, e.g., Pell,
Robert T., Pelliana: Pell of Pelham, p. 25 (Privately Printed, 1934).
For more on the issue, see:
Wed., November 7, 2007:
A Secondary Source To Follow Up On Regarding When John Pell, Nephew of
Thomas Pell, Died.
I have located one of the resources that I recalled but could not locate
at the time of my November 7, 2007 posting referenced above. The
resource contains two pertinent abstracts of Westchester County deeds
reflecting conveyances of property by John Pell, Sr. in the Manor of
Pelham after 1702-03. The abstracts are quoted below, each followed by
a citation to its source.
"P. 17: John Pell, Senr., of the Manor of Pelham, Proprietor of ye
same, to son Thomas Pell, land in ye Manor aforesaid, May 3, 1712."
Source: Bristol, Theresa Hall, ed., Westchester County, N.Y.,
Miscellanea in The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record,
Vol. LII, p. 74 (NY, NY: The New York Genealogical and Biographical
Society 1921) (citing p. 17, Liber E, Land Records, Westchester Co.,
N.Y.).
"P. 210: John Pell, Senr., Esq., of Peham Manor, to son Thomas Pell;
1719."
Id., p. 78 (citing p. 210, Liber E, Land Records, Westchester
Co., N.Y.).
