He was a farmer and wheelwright. All his life was spent in his native town. He had a special adaptiveness for devising ingenious farming implements, and several times visited Washington in the interest of his patents. Probably the best known of these was the " L. C." ploughshare, which for many years was in popular demand. His wife was Fanny [Frances or Phana] Sutton, b. 20 Aug 1776; d. 23 Dec 1865 d/o John Pell Sutton.

Isaac Doty, son Azariah Doty, b. New York City, 1761. He m. prob. Westchester Co., NY, Elizabeth Hammond. He d. White Plains, NY. He entered the Revolutionary army at a very early age as a drummer boy, but later joined the artillery branch of the service. In 1781 he is said to have commanded an artillery company on Staten Island, which he took across upon the ice to Amboy on the opposite New Jersey shore. In the records of Cayuga Co., NY, at Auburn, appears a certificate dated June 9, 1783. from General Washington, certifying that Isaac Doty, a gunner in the Second or New York Artillery Regiment, having faithfully served the United States from the 20th of February, 1779, until the present period, is discharged. Also, a certificate from Colonel John Lamb of the New York Artillery Regiment, that Isaac Doty has been honored with the badge of military merit for four years faithful service. For this service Isaac Doty received from the State of New York certain lands in Cayuga County, NY, which he sold March 2, 1793, to David Abeel, mariner, of New York City. Captain John Doughty, who was Captain of an artillery company in same regiment, and also received lauds in Cayuga County, NY, may have been related to Isaac Doty. In the records of the State of New Jersey he is credited with services as follows: Private in Second Company, Second Battalion, Second Establishment, New Jersey Continental line; served in the campaign in western Pennsylvania against the Six Nations, May to November, 1779, was transferred to First Company, Captain Nathaniel Bowman, Second Regiment: served in the Virginia campaign, took part in the battle of Yorktown and was present at the surrender of Lord Cornwallis, October 19, 1781, and served to the close of the war. After the close of the war Isaac Doty returned to New York City and engaged in foreign trade that took him out of the country more or less, but about 1800 he removed to White Plains, NY, where he afterward lived. He was quite prominent in the county in public affairs, and in 1823 was appointed Under Sheriff of Westchester County. Children: i. NANCY, b. prob. New York City, 1793; m. John A. Mildeburger.

Charity DYCKMAN b. 18 MAY 1770; m. Benjamin LENT. http://notorc.blogspot.com/2010/08/all-brothers-were-valiant-one-mans.html Michael, third son of William Dyckman, was named for his maternal grandfather, Michael Tourneur. Joining the militia with his brother Abraham and cousin John Odell, he later served with them in the Westchester Guides. He remained with the Guides until 1780, when he was appointed a Muster Master. Muster Masters were recruited from reliable militiamen. Given a lieutenant's commission, his task was to enroll recruits (Levies) selected by their militia regiment colonels for the regular forces. Muster Masters reported the strengths of each regiment directly to Governor George Clinton. A letter Michael wrote from Fishkill to his friend John Pine, still with the Westchester Guides, would delight proponents of simplified spelling: "I hare that our boys has bin down and taken sevin horsis," he wrote. (By order of General Washington, Guides were permitted to keep the property taken or its equivalent in cash.) In this letter he also speculated on his chances of being "sculped" by Indians raiding American lines. In another letter to young Pine from Albany two weeks later, Michael wrote: "I have met with an Irish twist I have lost almost all my close stole from me in Albany however I have had the good luck to get some lining for shurts I should be glad if you could get me a grate coat and send it up with Mr. Lion to Mr. Simons in Albany whar I shal have an opertunity to get it at any time "I am now staitioned at Schohary midel fort whare the Indians are skulkin round dayly a few days ago they tuck of a hole family within one mile of the fort however thare was a party of our men salied out and we tuck all the prisoners "John Odell has bin to fort Stanwix but he has returned to Stone Roby [Stone Arabia, a village burnt by the British] whare he will meat with Capt Williams I have got orders to march for the same place whare whe shall be stasioned for this sommar inles times should altar "Schohary whas a fine place thare is twenty or thirty fine dutch girls in the fort every night and that was not the best of all yet we had a damd fine Commasary with rum and provisions plenty "my complements to all friends I remain your friend Michael Dyckman" His rough letter demonstrates that phonetic spelling was probably common at that time, even among those with some degree of education. After serving with the Levies, Michael returned to the Guides. In July of 1781 he was assigned, with John Oakley and John Pine, as guides to the French army that had just marched to Westchester County from Newport, Rhode Island. It was Washington's intention to retake New York City in a surprise assault with the assistance of the French. The Comte de Rochambeau's force of four infantry regiments, an artillery battalion and the Duc de Lauzun's 600-man legion of horse and foot soldiers reached Dobbs Ferry. Instead of attacking the city, Washington decided to march secretly south with Rochambeau's force to Yorktown in Virginia, where British Lord Cornwallis was bottled up behind his fortifications. After accompanying the French across the Hudson, the three young men received a certificate certifying that "Ockly, Pine et Dickman, Guides de l'Armée Américaine" conducted themselves very well while attached to the French Army. Michael Dyckman next rejoined the Westchester Guides and accompanied his brother Abraham on the expedition against De Lancey's headquarters in Morrisania. After the war, he became a farmer in Cortlandtown and married Sarah Oakley about 1795. The 1800 census lists him as head of a family of one male, 36-45 (himself), one male, 16-26; one female, 26-45 (his wife); two females under 10 (his daughters Sarah and Maria); and six slaves. He died in 1808 at the age of 52. Despite Michael Dyckman's deficiencies in accepted orthography and punctuation, it is interesting to note that his grandson John Reuben Thompson later served as literary editor of William Cullen Bryant's New York Evening Post. Lieut. Abraham Dyckman, popularly called " Brom '' Dyckman, [a brother of Michael Dyckman] though not a resident of this Manor, performed such important service here as one of the Westchester Guides, all through the Revolution, at last yielding up his life for 29
