101. The Duke of York's Charter for New York, March 12/22, 1663/4
O'Callaghan's _Documents relating to the Colonial History of New
York_, II, 295-298.
This grant was made some months before the English were in actual
possession of the territory. After the loss and recapture of the
Province in 1673-1674, a second grant was issued by Charles II,
practically identical with this one of 1664.
