"The first entry of British troops was about 2 o’clock on a fine day
in the last of August 1776, when a body of light horse galloped into the village
and inquired at Widow Bloodgood’s for her sons. On being told they had already
fled one of the troop seized a firebrand and threatened to burn the house, but
was prevailed on to desist."

"The Bloodgoods are of purely Knickerbocker origin, Francis Bloctgoct
being the earliest settler of the name in Flushing, and, being recognized by the
Dutch authorities as "chief of the inhabitants of the Dutch nation residing
in the villages of Vlissingen, Heemstede, Rudsdorp and Middleboro," was
made their commander and ordered to march with them toward the city should a
hostile fleet appear in the sound.
This was in 1674. In the year previous he was
made a magistrate, was one of the privy council who advised with the governor on
the surrender of the territory to the English, and was appointed a commissioner
to visit the Sweedish settlement on the Delaware.
Of his immediate descendants
but little can be learned, although it is reasonably certain that some one of
the name has ever since resided in Flushing.
Two of his grandchildren, Abram and
James, were left orphans under the care of a relative; but preferring to make
their way in the world for themselves emigrated to Albany, where they became
successful business men and amassed handsome fortunes.
Abraham was born in
Flushing, in 1741. He became also a merchant in Albany, and married Mrs. Lynott,
one of whose daughters by a former husband became the wife of the celebrated
Simeon De Witt.
Abraham Bloodgood was for years a councilman of the city, was a
member of the convention that accepted the constitution of the United States,
and one of the famous ten who, in the old Vanden Heyden house, founded the
Democratic party of the State.
He left four sons, the younger of whom, Joseph,
graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1806, and was appointed trustee
of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of New York in 1811.
Invited by a
large number of the most prominent citizens of Flushing to settle here, he came
to this village in 1812, and was for many years an eminent physician and a
public spirited citizen.****
He died March 7th 1851, aged sixty- seven years. He had
twelve children, four daughters and eight sons. Isaac, a prominent merchant, is
now living in Flushing.
Mrs. G.R. Garretson is a descendant of the branch
of the family claiming continuous residence here, and resides on the old home
farm, now in the heart of the village, in a house dating back to the early part
of the last century."
"Dr. Samuel Bloodgood, who became the village
physician in 1812."
" Besides the nurseries of the Messrs. Prince, Bloodgood and
Parsons, a sandpaper factory and the shipping and lumber business of the Pecks
gave employment to a considerable number of persons; and when, it 1837, the
people of the village decided on incorporation, the population had increased to
about two thousand people"
"The most important mercantile house of to- day is that of Clement & Bloodgood"
"The earliest known physician here was Dr. Henry Taylor, an Englishman, at one
time an ardent advocate of royalty. A court record of 1675 relates his complaint
against Francis Bloodgood and Myndert and Coerter for seditious words."
"A community having in it such families as the Lawrences, Bownes and
Bloodgoods was not at a loss for legal advice on the simple real estate titles
of the day; but for some years the business of conveyancing seems to have been
delegated to Edward Hart, the clerk of the town"
________
"G.R. Garrettson, seedsman, has the only seed farm in Flushing. It
comprises about one hundred acres, and is on the Jamaica road, about a mile from
the village. Mr. Garrettson was a pupil of Grant Thorburn, and was afterward
with Prince & Co.
He established his present business on a small scale in
1836, and for many years did a large and flourishing trade. Increased
competition has, however, induced him to curtail its dimensions, and it is now
confined to the supply of his old customers, and the sale of seeds in bulk.
Mr.Garrettson married a daughter of Daniel Bloodgood, and lives on the old
Bloodgood homestead, which has been in the family since 1673."

***Tu quoque (/tjuːˈkwoʊkwi, tuːˈkwoʊkweɪ/;[1] Latin for "you also"), or the appeal to hypocrisy, is an informal fallacy that intends to discredit the opponent's argument by asserting the opponent's failure to act consistently in accordance with its conclusion(s).
The Oxford English Dictionary cites John Cooke's 1614 stage play The Cittie Gallant as the earliest use of the term in the English language
Tu quoque "argument" follows the pattern:[2]
Person A makes claim X.
Person B asserts that A's actions or past claims are inconsistent with the truth of claim X.
Therefore, X is false.
It is a fallacy because the moral character or actions of the opponent are generally irrelevant to the logic of the argument.[3] It is often used as a red herring tactic and is a special case of the ad hominem fallacy, which is a category of fallacies in which a claim or argument is rejected on the basis of facts about the person presenting or supporting the claim or argument"
