New York, 1773. Promissory note for 4 Pounds New York Currency, by Thomas Morrell for payment owed, written in Haverstraw, New York. Thomas Morrell may have served as district elder in 1790. The region around Haverstraw, New York was explored by Henry Hudson in 1609. A land purchase was made in this town in 1666 from local natives and confirmed as a patent in 1671. The region was known as Haverstroo, meaning "oat straw" in Dutch. During the American Revolution, it served as an important lookout for British activities on the Hudson. The town of Haverstraw was formed in 1788 while still part of Orange County, New York. Unique and rare piece of early New York State history prior to the American Revolution.
