Col. Caleb Heathcote, one of the most distin- guished of all the men in colonial times, and then of the Governor's Council, seems to have been one of the largest land owners and was appointed the first Mayor. He was also its first Assemblyman. He, too, at one time, was Mayor of New York, for honors were easy in those days, and plurality of of- fices seemed to be the customary thing. Besides he was a Judge and Colonel of the Militia, and as in the early days there was no church, he had his men d...rilled on a Sunday and ordered the Captain to read the Scriptures to them as part of the mili- tary exercises. The Borough continued to have its representation in the Provincial Assembly, sep- arate from the other parts of the County down to the time when Tryon, the last Colonial Governor of New York, (in 1776), taking refuge on a British ship in New York Harbor, prorogued the last session of the Colonial Legislature. The Morrises, Liberals, or the DeLanceys, Tories, seem to have been, after Heathcote, tlie representatives for the Borough, as the Liberal or Fory parties prevail- ed, for the Morrises were freemen, though not resi- dents of the Borough, and the DeLanceys at the West Farms Mills had sticeeeded in rhe female line to Heathcote, as he left no male heirs to his hold- ings.
