	Thomas Dongan
		Dongan established a college under the direction of the Jesuit Fathers Harvey (his own private chaplain), Harrison, and Gage in New York City, and advised that the King's Farm, a tract beyond the walls of the then existing city, be set aside for its maintenance.
		In 1687, the Assembly of New York was dissolved by the king, and in 1688 Andros was appointed Governor of the consolidated Provinces of New York and New England.
		Dongan refused command of a regiment with the rank of major-general, retired to his estate on Staten Island, New York, but was obliged to flee for safety in the religious persecution aroused by Lesler in 1689.

		Thomas Dongan was sent as governor to New York because he had what were considered the requisite qualities for public administration in those days: he was a nobleman, and had served thirty years in the military.

		Dongan, an Irishman and a Catholic, presided over the first representative assembly of New York which gave us the charter of liberties.
		But when Dongan fell all prospect of liberty for Catholic worship in the colony of New York disappeared, and the hope was expressed at the time of his downfall "that Papists would not henceforth come so freely to settle in the colony".
		Governor Bellemont of New York secured the passage of a law by the colonial legislature punishing with perpetual imprisonment any priest remaining in the province or coming after 1 November 1700, and any priest who escaped from his dungeon was liable to the penalty of death if he should be retaken.

		Through the influence of Gov. Thomas Dongan, he secured (1686) a patent (later confirmed by royal charter) to shape his extensive land holdings, amounting to 160,000 acres, into Livingston Manor—in the present Dutchess and Columbia counties.
		Livingston and his brother-in-law, Peter Schuyler, were the leaders of the Albany opposition to the rebellion of Jacob Leisler, and afterward Livingston found his estates and privileges so endangered by the Leislerian faction, that he twice went to England to defend them.
		He became noted in New York as a Whig political leader, as a judge of the admiralty court (1759–63), and as a judge of the supreme court of the colony (1763–75); he was also a delegate to the Stamp Act Congress and chairman of the New York Committee of Correspondence.

		The settlers were anxious to keep a stubbornly independent system that rubbed the patent’s grantor, Thomas Dongan, the captain general, governor in chief, and vice admiral of the Province of New York, the wrong way.
		They agreed that trials should be by jury, and they were not to be taxed “but by consent of the assembly.” And in 1683, Governor Dongan, who was then newly appointed to his post, was told to gather the freeholders of Suffolk County so they could choose their representatives.
		Less than a month after James II ascended to the throne in 1685, he decreed a direct tax on the settlers, and he questioned their titles to real estate, hoping to pave the way for aristocrats to obtain land in the New World and thus generate larger fees for the crown.

	Dongan Charter
		The so-called "Dongan Charter" gave the Albany fur traders a number of unique rights and responsibilities that were primarily responsible for the growth and development of an early American city in the center of a large and emerging agricultural region.
		Technically, Albany's Dongan Charter remained in force for more than 300 years, although many things important in 1686 (principally Indian diplomacy, the fur trade, and frontier lands) were no longer relevant.
		It was reprinted during the Albany Tricentennial in 1986 as The Dongan Charter, with an introduction by its editor, Robert W. Arnold III.
