New York Provincial Congress : ウィキペディア英語版 | New York Provincial Congress The New York Provincial Congress (1775-1777) was an organization formed by colonists in 1775, during the American Revolution, as a pro-American alternative to the more conservative Province of New York Assembly, and as a replacement for the Committee of One Hundred. ==First Provincial Congress== A Provincial Convention assembled in New York City on April 20, 1775 with Philip Livingston as its chairman. All counties other than Tryon, Gloucester, and Cumberland were represented. Delegates were elected to the Second Continental Congress, which included the delegates to the first congress and also five new members. The scope of the Provincial Convention did not extend beyond electing delegates, and they dispersed on April 22. 〔(Google Book ) ''The New York Civil List'' compiled by Franklin Benjamin Hough (page 47; Weed, Parsons and Co., 1858)]〕 On April 23, news of the Battles of Lexington and Concord arrived. Notable members (partial list): Abraham Yates, Jr.; Nathaniel Woodhull; James Clinton; Robert Van Rensselaer; Abraham Ten Broeck; Richard Montgomery; Melancton Smith; Walter Livingston; Robert Yates; Henry Glen; Isaac Roosevelt; Gouverneur Morris; Philip Van Cortlandt; Ezra L'Hommedieu; John Sloss Hobart; Isaac Low; Stephen Ward, Patriot; Paul Spooner.〔New York Department of State, (Calendar of Historical Manuscripts, Relating to the War of the Revolution ), Volume I, 1868, page 86〕
