Barclay, Robert, 1648-1690
Author; born in Gordonston, Scotland, Dec. 23, 1648.
At the age of nineteen, he embraced the principles of the Society of Friends.
In 1670 he vindicated them from false charges in a pamphlet entitled Truth cleared of calumnies.
He also published, in Latin and English, An apology for the true Christian Divinity, as the same is held forth and preached by the people called, in scorn, Quakers.
Barclay dedicated it to King Charles, with great modesty and independence, and it was one of the ablest defences of the doctrines of his sect.
His writings attracted public sympathy to his co-religionists.
The first remonstrance of Friends against war was put forth by Barclay in 1677, entitled a Treatise on universal love.
Barclay made many religious journeys in England, Holland, and Germany with William Penn, and was several times imprisoned on account of the promulgation of his doctrines.

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.
