Excerpt from Records of the Town of New Rochell: 1699-1828 At the end of the seventeenth century, contemporary with the settlement of New Rochelle, Europe had almost recovered from the shock of the Reformation and its sub sequent relentless and often malevolent religious contro versies, but the persecutions, oppressions and wars they provoked were still rife, and all this in opposition to the general awaking in Central and Northern Europe to the value of the arts, sciences and commercial industries the fruits of peace; and also in spite of the compelling and adventurous Spirit that was abroad to enter by trade and travel into a greater intercommunication with men of various nations; and above all contrary to the then abiding and awaking desire found everywhere, among all conditions of men, for enfranchisement from inherited feudalism, co-existing with a growing belief in the doc trine of personal liberty, a foreshadowing as it were of modern Democracy.
