From speech given by Mrs. D. Nelson Raynor, wife of the Port Jervis historian: “...Among five men who received a patent for land at Peenpack were Thomas and Anthony Swartwout who built at the center of Huguenot and named their home Seneahaun which is Indian for “home near stream.” “The Swartwout home is still occupied at this writing by the family of Howard Swartwout, some of whose ancestors lost their lives there during the Brant raid of 1779 on the Minisink Valley section. This is one of the best known of the original settlers.”207
