    DELANCEY, Stephen
    Born in Normandy, he came to New York during the time of the British possession. He married, 1700, Anna Van Cortlandt. His place of business was that formerly occupied by Stephen Van Cortlandt, on the corner of Broad and Pearl Streets. He was distinguished for wealth and social position and held several political positions. One of his daughters married Sir Peter Warren, at that time in command of the naval station. In 1700 Colonel Van Courtlandt gave them the lot at the corner of Broad and Pearl Streets, on which the famous Fraunce's Tavern stands. He died in 1741, more than eighty years old, "worth at least ~100,000 gained by his own honest industry, with credit, honor and reputation." Besides this he also possessed large tracts of land on New York island, Westchester and in Ulster County.
