Includes NotesNotes for Lawrence "Laurens" Kortright:

Lawrence was a merchant, and became wealthy and prominent. In the old

French war, he was part owner of several privateers fitted out at NY

against the enemy. He was one of the founders of the Chamber of Commerce

in 1768. He had a large interest in Tyron County Lands, and on his

purchase the township of Kortright was settled. He had identified himself

with the Episcopal Church, and during the Revolution remained quiet at

his residence, but his sympathies were with his country. His residence

was 192 Queen Street about the time mentionned. In 1778, partly on his

security, Judge Fell, then a prisoner in the Provost, obtained his

release. He died in 1794, but before his death he conveyed his farm at

Harlem with some woodland, to his only son, John.
