Political opposition to this man dissipated after Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville led a raid in retaliation for the Lachine Massacre. This man took power shortly after an opponent declared "I rather would see the Towne on fire than to be commanded by you," prompting Abraham de Peyster to attack Fort James in support of this man. He died alongside his son-in-law and second-in-command, Jacob Milborne. This leader's authority was accepted after 60 people died in the (*) Schenectady Massacre, which was perpetrated by the French and their Mohawk allies. This man settled Huguenot refugees in what is now New Rochelle. He was executed on order of Henry Sloughter, who had been appointed the new colonial governor by William III. For 10 points, name this militia leader who targeted Francis Nicholson in a namesake rebellion in New York in the aftermath of the Glorious Revolution.
