Description
Excerpt from Colonial New York: Philip Schuyler and His Family
At the beginning of the Revolutionary War, Governor Tryon, becoming nervous for his own personal safety, took refuge on board the ship Duchess of Gordon, lying in the harbor, and took the records with him. An effort was made by the city authorities to recover them, but Tryon refused to give them up, pledging his honor that they should be kept in perfect security. How well he kept his word of honor we shall see presently.
