Bayard, Nicholas, 1644-1707
Colonial executive; born in Alphen, Holland, in 1644.
His mother was a sister of Governor Stuyvesant, the last Dutch governor of New Netherland, whom she accompanied to America in 1647, with her three sons and a daughter.
The old Bayard mansion in New York City, on the Bowery, was converted into a pleasure garden in 1798.
The Astor Library is built on a part of the estate.
Under the second English regime, in 1685, Bayard was mayor of New York, and a member of Governor Dongan's council.
In 1698 Col. Bayard went to England to clear himself of the imputation of complicity in the piracy of Captain Kidd, having been accused by the Leisler faction of both piracy and a scheme to introduce slavery.
He was tried before Chief-Justice Atwood and sentenced to death.
The proceedings, however, were annulled by an order-in-council, and he was reinstated in his property and honors.
He died in New York City, in 1707.

This outrage caused fearful retal 1664 intermittingly.
Some Indians, taken prisoners, were sent to Curacoa and sold as slaves.
The anger of the Esopus Indians was aroused, and, in 1663, the village of Wiltwyck, as the Esopus village was called, was almost totally destroyed.
Stuyvesant was there at the time, holding a conference with the Indians in the open fields, when the destructive blow fell.
The houses were plundered and burned, and men, hurrying from the fields to protect their families and property, were either shot d
