Misc. Notes
15. MICHAEL D., lawyer, of Stone street, in the city of New York, b. Apr. 16, 1760, in Bedminster twsp.; d. (probably at New Brunswick, N. J.), May 25, 1799; m. a Miss Graham, (either of New York City or of North Carolina), who predeceased him. He was graduated from Queen's College in 1783. A letter from him to John Bogart, who was the active head of Queen's (Rutgers) College during part of the Revoultion, appears in "The John Bogart Letters" (1914). He probably studied law in New York City, where he practiced (he was there in 1791 and doubtless before that), until near the time of his death. His will of May 10, 1799, probat. June 6 of the same year (Trenton Wills, Book 39, p. 430), states that he was "now in the city of New Brunswick" and "weak in health," and mentions his brother James and his own children, as stated hereafter. Most interesting "second" and "third" accounts of the executors and guardians for the support and education of these children, especially from 1807 to 1816, are on file in the Somerset surrogate's office, showing that all three sons were fitted for and two sent to college, after a preliminary education at Rev. Dr. Robert Finley's school at Basking Ridge. These executors and guardians were Moses Scott, the noted physician of New Brunswick, John Bray and Col. James Henry (named next, below).
