David,

I ran across the following in John William Leonard, "History of the City of New York, 1609-1909" (p. 147):

Fletcher's prompt and efficient service in this connection [i.e., chasing the French from Schenectady and concluding new treaties with "the Five Nations and River Indians"] was recognized by the Common Council on his return, by an address of congratulation, and by an order entered upon the minutes of the council, July 14, 1693, that a gold cup should be presented to His Excellency, on behalf of the city, as a token of their gratitude. Six days later Mayor De Peyster reported that he had bought twenty ounces of gold for the cup, of Peter Jacob Marius, and had delivered it to Cornelius Vanderburgh to be made.
