[J. Thomas Scharf (1886)] On one of his visits to his home at Peekskill, made on horseback, from his college, he met on the road a carriage in which was a lady apparently in distress. Near the carriage rode his acquaintance, Lieutenant Franks, to whom he addressed some in-quiries, to which the latter answered briefly, " That is Mrs. Arnold; there is treason; you will hear all about it when you get home." He found on reaching Peekskill that Andre had been taken to a small house at the fork of the roads, two miles north of Peekskill and a short distance from the Van Cortlandt mansion. Ann Van Cortlandt (afterwards Mrs. Van Rensse-laer,) accompanied her brother Pierre on a visit to Andre. In 1788, on the occasion of " the Doctor's Mob," in New York, being mistaken for a medical student, he was in serious peril and very roughly handled until recognised by some of the crowd. After finishing his collegiate course he commenced the study of law, en-tering the office of Alexander Hamilton, who had married the daughter of his kinsman, General Philip Schuyler. He often spoke in after years of the kind-ness shown him by Mrs. Hamilton. In 1S01 he mar-ried Catharine, the eldest child of George Clinton. She was the widow of Captain John Taylor, B.A., who died soon after their marriage, at Falmouth, Eng-land. They took up their abode in the Mansion House at Peekskill. Pierre, like his brother Philip, served his own town in many ways, acting as school commissioner, supervisor and road-master. Mis.
