    Gabriel Minvielle was a prominent Huguenot who settled in New York after emigrating from France in 1673. He engaged in foreign trade, especially with the West Indies, and prospered as a merchant and trader and also politically, serving as the 15th Mayor of New York City from 1684 until 1685.[1] Minvielle was later honored several times by appointment as a member of the Governor's Council. ...

    MINVIELLE, Gabriel
    In 1674 "Gabriell Munueile" was taxed ~6. 5s. on a small fortune of ~1000, which, however small this may seem to-day, entitled him to the distinction of being regarded as among the wealthiest men of his time. In 1674 his fortune was 10,000 fl. Minvielle was an Alderman of New York in 1675, and Mayor in 1685. He was well connected by marriage in New York, first with Judith Van Beeck in 1674, and after her death with Susanna, daughter of John Lawrence. As his name indicates, Minvielle was of French descent.
