Appointment of magistrates for the Whorekill
28th November From the nomination of the inhabitants of the Whorekill in the South river, the Governor hath selected as Magistrates for the next year, Mr. Harmanus Wiltbanck, Sander Maelsteyn, Doctor John Roots, William Claesen.
Whereas I am informed that 2 millstones are lying idle in the Whorekill which
heretofore belonged to the city's colonie in the South river; and whereas the
garrison at New Amstel hath need of them, therefore the Magistrates of the Whorekill
are hereby ordered to cause said stones to be delivered to the Commandant, Peter
Alrigs.
Done Fort Willem Hendrick, this 28th November, 1673.
