    DE PEYSTER, Abraham
    The son of one of the leading merchants of New Amsterdam, born 1657. He married, in Holland, Catharine De Peyster, 1684. He was alderman in 1685, Mayor of New York from 1691 to 1695, and was called to the Provincial Council in 1698 under Bellomont. He was one of the judges of the Supreme Court, and in the absence of the Lieutenant Governor, he administered the Goverment. He was suspended from the Council by Lord Cornbury; in 1706 he was appointed Treasurer of the Province, and he held that office until 1721, when he was succeeded by his son. He died in 1728, aged seventy-one years.
