Delavan : The Marble House 29 



Mangle Minthorne died on April 20, 1824. In the following 

 June St. Andrew's Church reconveyed the north glebe to Daniel 

 D. Tompkins (K Deeds 383), who soon thereafter refunded to 

 Gilbert Livingston Thompson the sum of $2,500, which Mangle 

 Minthorne had advanced to Arietta M. Thompson, and which had 

 been used in the construction of the Marble House. (Thompson 

 v. Hammond.) 



Gilbert L. Thompson claimed from Daniel D. Tompkins the 

 sum of $16,539.92 " due for the costs and expenses and amount 

 actually paid advanced and expended by him the said Gilbert L. 

 Thompson, on which the said Gilbert L. Thompson had become 

 legally liable and about the erecting building and improving a 

 certain house, outhouses and premises thereunto belonging and 

 situated near the Quarantine Ground of the County of Rich- 

 mond." 



Daniel D. Tompkins claimed that the said Gilbert L. Thompson 

 was indebted to him for money paid, laid out and advanced and 

 expended by him to and for Gilbert L. Thompson, or for his use 

 or for the value or amount of property goods and chattels belong- 

 ing to him, the said Daniel D. Tompkins, and by him delivered to 

 the said Gilbert L. Thompson and not by him returned. 



These conflicting claims were submitted by the parties for arbi- 

 tration and the arbitrator awarded to Gilbert L. Thompson the 

 full amount of the claim, $16,539.92, on March 16, 1825. 



Daniel D. Tompkins in the following June brought suit against 

 Gilbert L. Thompson, and obtained an injunction, but died three 

 days later. (3 Chancery Clerks Register 95, N. Y.) 



The following notice is copied from the Evening Post of Mon- 

 day, June 13, 1825.
