[Frederic Shonnard & W.W. Spooner (1900)] Robert Graham, Colonel Lewis Graham, and Colonel James Van Cortlandt, all of the Town of Westchester; Stephen Ward and Joseph Drake, of East-chester; Major Philip Van Cortlandt, of Cortlandt Manor; Colonel James Holmes, of Bedford; John Thomas, Jr., of Rye; David Dayton, of North Castle; and William Paulding, of Philipseburgh Manor. It is noteworthy that among the results of this White Plains meeting two men whose names were destined to rank among the most im-portant in the annals of Westchester County obtained their first en-trance into public life — Gouverneur Morris and Jonathan G. Tomp-kins. The former headed the delegation to the provincial congress. 306
