QUARTERLYBULLETIN 9 fluenced by his father to write it "Petrus," to perpetuate the name of his ancestor, the Director-General, and a memorandum to that effect, dated New York, July 17, 1748, is recorded in the Bible. In 1764, Petrus Stuyvesant (1727—1865) married Margaret Livingston, and they had a daughter, Cornelia, born in 1767. She married Dirck Ten Broeck, of Albany, and died in Trenton, New Jersey, February 24, 1825. Dirck Ten Broeck's signature appears in the Bible, so he was evidently the owner after his wife's death, until he died in 1832. For the next few years, there is no information as to the whereabouts of the Bible. Shortly after 1850, the Stuyvesant Bible was found in the possession of William Lewis Raymond, Esquire, counsellor-at-law, residing in Summit, New Jersey, with offices in New York. He was at one time Consul at Leeds, England, appointed by Abraham Lincoln. The Bible was left in 1913, to his son, William Oakley Raymond, an architect, who sold it to the writer, the present owner.
