Nov. 6th, 1636: Letter of Lion Gardiner to John Win throp, Jr.: "To the W orshipf ull Mr. John Winthrop Junior Esquire at Boston in the Bay these present. "Worshipf ull Sir-I have received your lettc1, wherein I doe understand that you are not like to returne, and accordinge to your order I have sent your servants Robear,t and Sara. I wonder that you did not write to me, but it is noe wonder, seeing that since your and Mr. Phenix de parture, ,there hath been noe provision sent, but, one the contrary, people to eate up that small, now noe store, that wee had. "Heare hath come many vessells with provision, to goe up to the plantations, but none for us. "It seemes that wee have neather masters nor owners, but are left like soe many servaunts whose masters are willinge to be qui tt of ,them; -but now ,to late "I wish that I had putt my thoughts in practice, that was to stay and and take all such provisions out of the vessells, as was sufficient for a yeare summer goods God's good providence hath not onely brought, but allso stayed, but if the could have gone, I did intent to have taken all the victualls out, and kept them for oure necesitie; and seeinge that you, Mr. Peeters, and Phenwicke knowes that it was agaynst my minde to send the Pequqitts present agayne, and I with theas few men are, by your wills and likeings, put into a warlike condicion, ,there shall be noe cause to com playne of our ffidelitie and indeavours to you ward, and if I see that there be not such case for us that our lives may be preserved, then must I be fforced to shif,t as the Lord shall direct. "I wish that it may be for God's glory and all your credits and -proffitts. Heare is not 5 shillings of money and noe bevor. The Dutchman will bringe us some corne and rye, but we have noe thinge to pay him for it. Mr. Pinchin GARDINERS OF GARDINER'S ISLAND 11 had a bill to receive all the wampampeige we had; we have not soe much as will pay for the mendinge of our ould boate. "I have sent your co\ves up to the plantations with· 2 oxen; 2 of then1 we have killed and eaten, with the goates; a ran1m goate ,vas brought from the Manatos, but the enemie gott him and all the greate swine, 22, in one day, and had gotten all the sheep and cowes likewise, had we not sallied out. "It ,vas one the Sabbath day, and there was 4 men with the cowes with firelocks. For the sheep, I have kept them thus longe, and when the pinckes comes downe I hope the will bringe hay for them, for I have not hay for them to eat by the way, if I should sent them to the bay; but now for our present condicion: since Mr. Phenwicke is gone for England, I hope you will not be fforgettfull of us, and I think if you had not beene gone away and .he had not co1ne, we had not as yet been at warrs with the Indians uppo1f such ... tearms; they up the river when I sent to them how it stood ,vith us~ & in what need we ,veare, did jeare or mocke us, but time and patience will shew the efect of it. I heare that the Bachelor is to bringe us provision, I pray you f orgett us not when shee comes from the Bermudas with some potartes, for heare hath beene some Virginians that hath taught us to plant them after another way, and I have put it in practise, and found it good. I pray you when you pay or recken with the owners of the _pincke which brought the gunns heather, to shorten ,them for 3 weeks time and diet, for Sergant Tilley for pilateinge the pincke up with the cowes. I have, instead of your man Robert, hired Azarias for 20 shillings per n1oneth, or else I should not have let him come away. Heare is 2 men and ther wives come from the Dutch plantation, a tayler and a shipp write, and I sett them boath to worke, but I have neather money nor victualls to pay them. I doe intend to .sett the Dutch 12 LETTER TO WINTHROP, JR. n1an to ,vorke to make a Dutch smacke sayle, which shall carry 30 or 40 tun of Goods, and not draw 3 foot and a halfe of water, principally to tranceport goods and pas sengers up the river in safety. "I pray lett us not want money or victualls, that some things may goe forward. Mr. Peeter sayd when he was heare that I should sell victualls to John Nott, Richard Graves, and them that came from the Dutch planta:tion, out of that little we had, and if all fayled he would supply us with more, and fish likewise, to sell, but ,ve have neather fish nor flesh to sell for others not yet for ourselves. "Your wisdom will understand the meaneing of this· ,vriteing. "At the closing of this letter came the cetch from the N aragansets with corne, and I have taken one hondard buchils of it, be caus I do not kno,v whether we shall have any releif or not. "Sum other small things of goodman Robbingson and John Charts I have resaved. I pray you fayl not to pay them. Thus with my love to your selfe, your wife, ffather, mothar, and brethren, I reste yowrs to command. Lion Gardiner Saybrook this 6 of Novem 1636 1636 "We have great cause of fear that William Quick with all the men & barke are taken by the Indians, coming downe the river; the Hope & they came down togither from Water towne, & came togither 20 mile. William Quick stayed there behind, & we fear went ashore a fowling. "The Hope came in yesterday at noone, the wind hath been very faire to have brought them downe ever since & yet they are not come. We sadly fear the event. Pray for us & consider, &c., &c. Nov. 7, late at night. "Immediately after writing ,this they came in dark night beyond expectation; but I think it would be good if no GARDINERS OF GARDINER'S ISLAND 13 vessels may be suff red to come, but the men knowne & fitted with armes suitable, charg'd not to goe ashore, for they venture not onely their owtne lives but wrong others also. "The Indians are many hundreds of both sides the river, & shoote at our pinaces as they goes up & downe, for they furnish the Indians with peeces, powder, & shot, & they come many times & shoot our own pieces at us, they have 3 from us allready, 5 of Capt. Stones, one of Chrles his, &c. Pardon our hast, &c." -See the letter in full Mass. Hist. Coll. VII, Fourth Series, p 52. Letter of Lion Gardiner to John Winthrop, Jr.: March 23, 1636/7.

"Worshipfull Sir.-These are to certyfie you how the Lord hath been pleased to deale with us this winter : lt hath pleased him, of his goodness and mercy, to give us rest from the Indians all this winter, butt one the 22th of the last moneth, I with tenn men more with me, went above our neck of land to fire some small bushes and marshes, whear we thought the enimie 1night have lien in ambush, and aboute halfe amile from home we started 3 Indians, and havinge posibility to have cutt them short, we running to meett them, and to fire the marsh, but whilest our men were setting it one fire, there rushed out of the woods, 2 severall ways, a great company of Indians, which though we gave fire uppon them, yett they run one to the very mussells of our peices, and soe the shott 3 men downe in that place, and 3 more men shott that escaped, of which one died the same night; and if the Lord had not putt it into my mind to make the men draw ther swords, the had taken us all alive, soe that sometime shoutting and sometime retraightinge, keepinge them of with our swords, we recovered a bayre place of ground, which this winter I had cleared for the same use, and they durst not follow us any further, because yt is 14 LETTER TO v.VINTHROP, JR. under command of our great guns, of which I hope the have had so1ne experience, as we heare by the relation of other Indians, and your friend Sacious and N ebott are the cheife actors of the treachery & villainy agaynst us. "As concerninge my sheep, which you writt to me of, I tooke order with Mr. Gibbins about them,. but if he be not yett come home, I would intreat you that the may be kept with yours, untill you heare from him. "Thus hopeinge ,that you will be a meanes to stirr up our freinds in the bay, out of there dead sleep of securytie, to think that your condicon may be as ours is, unles some speedy course be taken, which must not be done by a few, but by a great company, for all the Indians have ,their eyes fixed uppon us, and this yeare the will all j oyne with us agaynst the Pequtt, and it is to be feared that the next year the will be agynst us. We have used two sheets of your lead, which was in square 64-40-104 foote. I have writ to the governour to pay you soe much agayne. "I have sent you your bead steed, and would have made a better, butt time would not permit, for we watch every other night, never puttinge of our clothes, for ,the Indians show themselves in troupes about us, every day, as this bearer can certyfie you more at large. ."Thus committinge you, your wife, father and mother, Mr. Peeter, and the res,t of our friends, to God, I rest.

The following is an extract from a letter of the Earl oi Bellomont to the Lords of Trade, London, written from Boston, July 26th, 16g9. The letter can be found in the State paper Office, London, & is printed in 4th Essex Inst proceedings p 33; also in N. E. Hist. & Genl. R~g., Vol. VI1 P 79: "Mr. Gardiner, of Gardiner's Island and at the East end of Nassau Island, had delivered up some treasure. The Earl heard that one of Kidd's men had offered 30 pounds for a sloop to carry him to Gardiner's Island the very day of Kidd's apprehension, who owned he had buried some gold there. The Earl immediately and privately sent a messenger to Mr. Gardiner to deliver up whatever Kidd had lef,t with him. Mr. Gardiner received the order and im mediately brought the ,treasure to Boston, and delivered it to the Committee, being gold, silver and jewels, estim·ated at 4,500 pounds sterling. Kidd had lef,t six bales of goods with him one of which was twice as big as any of the rest, and Kidd gave him particular charge of that bale and told him it wias worth 2,000 pounds sterling. The Earl had sent a sloop after the bale. He observed, "we hope when the bales arrive all in the hands of the Committee will be about 14,000 pounds sterling." The following account of Kidd's visit is taken from the Mem' d Book of J. L. G., No. 7 : "Kid, who was fitted out in England by several noblemen -& others, sailed from Plymouth for New York in 1696, turned Pirate himself & was at this place in the year of ( 16g9). He took what fresh provisions he wanted and GARDINERS OF GARDINER'S ISLAND 65 paid for them. Came in the night & cut the old gentleman,s hands in ,the dark with their cutlasses, destroyed feather beds, s·cattered the paper money about the house, stayed several days & lived well, tied him up to the Mulberry tree which is now standing at the N House. Left money &c with him. I.twas hid in a swampy place in Cherry Harbor~ Showed Mr. John where he put it. Told him if he nevet" called for it, he might have it, but if he called for it & it was gone, he would take his or his son's head. There wa~ a considerable quantity of gold dust, ingots of gold & silvet and precious stones, an inventory of which there now is. "These things were buried in the presence of the pro prietor. The place where they were deposited is yet pointed out. The Earl of Bellomont, in 1699 being Govr. of this Colony & Mass., was -at Boston. Kid's papers came to his hands & among ,them was a Mem'd of what he had left here & an express ,vas sent to John Gardiner, 3d Proptr.. \vith orders for him to repair to Boston with all the prop erty Kid had left here; to be delivered up for the use of the King, or he would be considered an accomplice with him. N-ot having so much to fear on account of losing his head by Kid, as he supposed he had from Bellomont, he dug up the treasure & sett out for Boston, delivered up the propert1 & returned home. In taking out his clothes, from his Port- manteau he found one precious stone (as it is called by tradition). He was for going or sending it to Boston, hut his wife taking charge of it, desired him not to go, she would take the blame on herself when it was missed & he remained at home. She afterwards gave it to her daughter, Elizabeth, wlho m'd Thomas Green of Boston. It was sent to England, proved to be a diamond, was set in a Gold Ring & was a few years ago in the .possessi.on of , a descendant of this Mrs. ,Green." 66 VISIT OF CAPT. KIDD Mrs. Hobson, of 24th St., N. Y., has a piece of the Kid blanket. "Narration of John Gardiner of Gardiner's _Island alias J sle of Wight, July 17th, 16g9: · "About twenty days ago Mr. Emot of New York came to .his house and desired a boat, to go to New York. Fur nished him with one. That evening he saw a sloop, with s.ix guns, riding off Gardiner's Island. Two days afterward,. in the evening, Gardiner went on board the sloop to inquire what she was. When he came on board, Capt. Kidd, till then unknown to him, asked him how himself and fam ily did ; said he was going to Lord Bellomont, at Boston, and desired him to carry two Negro boys and one Negro girl ashore, and keep them until he returned or his order called ior them. About ten hours after he had taken the Negroes Capt. Kid sent his boat ashore with two bales of goods and a Negro boy. Next morning Kidd desired Gardiner to come on board immediately, and bring six sheep wi.th him, for his voyage to Boston, which he did. "Then Kidd desired him to spare a barrel of Cider, which he consented to do. Gardiner sent two of his men for it, and while they were gone, Kidd offered Gardiner several pieces of damaged Bengal muslin, as a present to his wife, which Kidd put in a bag and handed to him. "About quarter of an hour after, Kidd gave Gardiner two or three pieces of damaged muslin for his own use. When Gardiner's men came on board with the cider, Kidd gave them four pieces of gold for their trouble, and also bringing him wnod. Then Kidd, ready to sail, told Gardiner that he would pay him for the Cider, and Gardiner answered that he was already paid by the present to his wife. Some of Kidd's men gave some of Gardiner's men some muslin, for neck clothes. Then Gardiner took leave of Kidd. At parting, Kidd fired four guns and stood for GARDINERS OF GARDINER'S ISLAND 67 Block Island. About three days after, Kidd sent the Master of his Sloop and one Clarke in his boat for Gardiner, who went on board with them. Then Kidd desired Gardiner to take and keep for him, or order, a ·chest and a box of gold, and a bundle of quilts and four bales of goods, which box of gold Kidd told Gardiner was intended for Lord Bello mont. Gardiner complied. He says that two of Kidd's men, called Cook and Parrat, delivered to him two bags of silver, which they said weighed 30 lbs, for which he gave a receipt. Another of Kidd's men• delivered Gardiner gold and gold-dust, of about I lb. to keep for him, and did present to Gardiner a sash and a pair of worsted stockings. Just before Kidd sailed, he presented Gardiner with a bag of sugar, and then steered for Boston. The narrator, Gardiner "saith he knew nothing of Kidd's being proclaimed a Pirate, and if he had, he durst not have acted otherwise than he has done, having no force to oppose them and that he hath formerly been threatened to be killed by Privateers, if he should carry unkindly to them." Also, Gardiner saysr that while Kidd lay wi.th his sloop at Gardiner's Island, a New York sloop, Capt. Coster and his mate, a little black man, who was reported to have been formerly a quarter master to Capt. Kidd, and another sloop of New York, Capt. Jacob Fenick, lay near Kidd's sloop three days together, and while Gardiner was on board Kidd's vessel, several bales of goods and other things were put on board of the two sloops and they sailed up the sound; after which Kidd sailed for Block Island, and in three days returned to Gardiner's Island, and in company with another sloop of New York, Capt. Cornelius Quick, on board of which was Thomas Clarke of Setauket, commonly called Whisking Clarke, and one Harrison of Jamaica, father to a boy with Capt. Kidd, and Capt. Kidd's wife was then on board of his 68' VISIT OF CAPT. KIDD own sloop. Quick remained from noon till evening, and then took on board two chests from Kidd's sloop, and he believes several sorts of goods more, and then sailed up the sound. "Kidd remained until next morning and then sailed, as he said, for Boston. Next day, after Quick sailed from Gardiner's Island, Gardiner saw him turning out of Oyster Bay, though the wind was fair to carry him up the sound. Gardiner supposed Quick went in tQ land goods and stateci that he had from Kidd's' vessel, seven bales of silk and other goods, and one box of 52 lbs of gold and plate." See N. E. Hist. & Genl. Reg., Vol. VI, p So; also Essex Inst., Vol. IV, p 33. The Evidence and proceedings in the trial of Capt. Kidd may be found in "English State Trials." See a short account of his career in Thomp. L.

Mather of New London. I send you an ex tract from her letter giving an· account of Capt. Kidd's being o,i the Island." " 'I remember ( she says) when very young, hearing my mother say that her grandmother was wife to Lord Gar diner, when the pirate Kidd came to Gardiner's Island. The Captaine wanted Mrs. Gardiner to roast him a pig : she being afraid to refuse him, cooked it very nice, and he ,vas much pleased with it; he then made her a present of this silk, which she gave to her two daughters. Where the other went, or whether it is in being, I know not; but this was handed down to me ; it has been kept very nice, and I believe is now as good, as when first given, which must be upwards of 100 years.'
