    ... Just what took Rev. Francis Doughty to Virginia I do not know,
    but I have a theory that the Rev. Samuel Drisius, who was a
    minister in New Amsterdam, and who was sent on a special
    mission to Virginia in December, 1653, may have had something
    to do with the move.

    It is known that Drisius, while in Virginia, preached in the
    church of which Doughty was later Rector. There is a reference
    to the choosing of Doughty in the Northampton County records,
    but I have not yet been able to get a copy of it. ...

    ... Do. Samuel Drisius (4) his Piticon about his Salary as Ministr being taken into Consideration, It is thought fitt in lieu of all his prtences of Salary, & for ye two yeares since hee received any, wch will bee compleated in the Month of January next, that there shall bee allowed him the Summe of one hundred pounds, wch the Governor will pay, as for one entire yeares Service; the other yeare or the greatest part thereof, hee being soe distempered [82] as that hee was incapable of performing ye Ministeriall ffunction.
    However if that bee not thought sufficient It is recommended to ye Elders & Deacons of the Church to make him some farther Compensacon.(5)
    Vpon wch an Ordr -- as followeth.
    Vpon ye Peticon of Dme Samuel Drisius, That his Salary might bee made good to him as formerly, hee being in Arreare for neare two whole years to bee compleated in ye beginning of the Month of January next, The Governor & Councell having seriously taken ye prmisses into Consideracon, & withall being very sensible that the said Domine for at least one halfe of the time was by Gods Visitation soe distempered, that hee was render'd incapable of exercizing the Ministeriall ffunction, for the which hee was to receive his Salary, They doe think it reasonable that hee shall bee allowed the Salary of one yeare only in lieu of all pretences for the time past, the wch his Honr ye Governor on behalfe of his Royall Highnesse is well content forthwth to cause to bee paid unto him or his Ordr, without laying Imposicon on ye Towne for any part thereof; However if that shall not bee though sufficient, It is recommended to the Elders & Deacons of the Church to make [83] him such further Compensation as by them shall bee judged meet, and for the time to come doe Order that his Salary goe on as heretofore. --- By Ordr & c:

    (4) Rev. Samuel Drisius, who could preach in Dutch, English and French, had come to New Amsterdam in 1652 and continued under Dutch and English rule, dying in the city, April 18, 1673. Latterly, he suffered from "weaknesse" and "a failure of memory," incapacitating him in his ministry. In 1671, Aegidius Luyck, teacher of the grammar school, assisted Drisius in his ministrations. -- Corwin. Manual of the Ref.
