Maj or-General Enos added the :final s to his name in spelling, al~hough he did not pro­ nounce the s, and the Rhode Island branch of the family has always retained that form. From the Rhode Island family came the Delaware Enos. I 6) JAMES ENNO, son of Jean Renno and Catelaine Jone, who founded in America the family that bears his name, was a native of Lon­ don. He was baptized August 21, 1625, in the Threadneedle Street Huguenot church. He sailed for America in 1648, and settled in Wind­ sor, Connecticut. The first American mention of James Enno is a record in "Windsor Church Records" of his marriage to Anna Bidwell, August 18, 1648. There has been found no record of his arrival in this country, but his grandson, Samuel Eno, of Page Eleven Windsor, who seems to have been a man of prop­ erty and influence, and who was nineteen years old when his father died, and thirty-three years old when his mother died, was there£ore probably familiar with the history of his grandfather, and caused a tablet to be erected to his memory in the Old Windsor burying ground with the following inscription: "In memory of Samuel Eno, Esqr. and Eunice, his wife. He died August 17, 1778, in the 83d year of his age. She died May 7, 1792, in the 84th year of her age. And also Eunice, daughter of the deceased, who died March 23, 1757, aged 9 days. And also Sam'l Eno, son to Mr. Samuel Eno, junr., who died Feb. ye ~7, 1789 in the 4th year of his age; and also Mr. James Eno who came from England and settled in Windsor A._D. 1646, and died July 11, 1682. His wife died Oct. 7, 1679. Also James Eno ~d, who died July 16, 1714- his wife died March, 17~8, and was buried in Simsbury, old burying ground. Also Lieut. Dan'l Eno, died Dec. 9, 1797 in the 56th year of his age." He received a grant called Massacoe.1 He lived in Windsor, as did his son James 2d, but 1 Among other records of property deeded to James Enno is the following: "Also had given in the Palizado a stray of land on rodd Page Twelve both owned lands in Massacoe or Simsbury, which was an appendix of the plantation of Windsor and was not incorporated as a separate town till the year 1670. He owned an island in Simsbury River, near Scotland, about twenty-one acres, which he gave to his sons .James and .John. This island, with :fifty acres of land, was granted to him in 1660, "by Mr. Henry Clark and Mr. Matthew Allyn appointed by the Cort," and john Moses and others had also land then granted them in like manner. ( Simsbury Records, lib. I, p. 90.) "In the year 1660, J" ames Enos had fifty acres of land and an Island granted to him within the limits of Simsbury by Mr. Henery Clark and Mister Matthew Allyn apoynted by the Cort and .John Moses and others had also land then granted to them in like manner, a true coppy. I, Mathew Grant, 2 do testify that.James Enos had this grant made to him as above sd. taken out of a coppy I in breadth and in length from the four side of his shop as it now stands back to the line of Walter Taylers land and bounded North by the land of Tahan Grant and east by the Towne Common.

In April 1666, James Enno and John Moses, acting as agents for the town of W"indsor, bought from N assahegan, sachem of Poquonnoc, a tract of twenty-eight thousand acres, for which service the town granted him lands known as Tilton's Marsh, situated under the Simsbury mountains.

Jay Castro Undergraduate Senior Thesis Department of History Columbia University April 17th, 2020 Second Reader: Professor Elizabeth Blackmar Seminar Advisor: Professor Hilary Hallett Acknowledgements This thesis would not exist with the support of many people. I am eternally grateful for the ways they have enabled me to accomplish this project I have dreamed of for years, in ways I never would have imagined. I am a better person at the end of it all, and I have you to thank. To Professor Elizabeth Blackmar, who always knew what I was thinking better than I did myself and whose honest enthusiasm inspired me when I was most overwhelmed. This thesis would be unrecognizable without her comments, insights, and pep talks. To walk into your office was to see the world open up suddenly and magnificently. To Professor Hilary Hallet, for her unending patience and understanding throughout this long process, and her careful, thoughtful edits on so many harried drafts. I will return your book to you safely, one day! To Professor Matthew Hart, who showed me the potentials of what modernism can be, and who after years of radio silence believed in me honestly and without question. You have taught me to allow things to breathe and exist in all their contradictions. To Professor Gergely Baics, who first introduced me to archival maps and challenged me to believe in history for the sake of it. To Josh Schwartz, whose assistance in locating sources on early twentieth century New York illustrators completely transformed this project.

  • Manhattan Itinerary
    1 Manhattan Information Booklet New York City Guide This booklet gives you information about Manhattan in general followed by information on most of the places that we visit 2 Manhattan Information Booklet A guide to New York Neighbourhoods Midtown Manhattan The current city centre is located from 42nd Street to Central Park, with the main corporate power centre southeast of Central Park. Although stocks and bonds continue to change hands on Wall Street, the true centre of corporate power in America has moved to Midtown East. In this area you'll find the Citibank's, the Madison Avenue advertising agencies, the multinational law firms, the Trump Towers, the Bloomingdales department stores and deluxe shops such as Gucci. You'll have a hard time finding truly budget restaurants and hotels in this area. Lower Manhattan What New Yorkers still call downtown or Lower Manhattan refers to the downtown of the 19th century in the Wall Street area at the southern tip of Manhattan Island. This area has been undergoing revitalization, especially with older commercial buildings being converted into deluxe condos. When the Dutch ruled Manhattan, Wall Street was indeed a wall used to protect the colonists from the indigenous peoples. South of Washington Square in Greenwich Village, you'll find the old downtown, the Wall Street area, the site of what remains of the World Trade Centre complex, a growing Chinatown due to robust immigration, Little Italy, the trendy SOHO (South of Houston), TriBeCa (Triangle Below Canal), and NOHO (North of Houston) areas, where many of the "in" clubs and restaurants are, and large areas of public housing and abandoned warehouses and factories.
