THE VREELAND FAMILY.
dangers and uncertainties of border life at "Gamoenepa," he took refuge on Manhattan, where, because he was an "old man with a heavy family," and had lost his all, he was, November 22, 1655, permitted to keep a tap room.1 Like many modern tap- sters, he soon learned how to keep the letter of the law while he violated its spirit. An ordinance prohibited tapping after bell- ring, and on October 23, 1656, the schout prosecuted Jansen for its violation. The defendant confessed that two soldiers were playing at back-gammon and three sailors waiting for their skip- per : denied that he had tapped after bell-ring ; admitted that his guests " had their cans by them and got chatting," but shrewdly omitted to state that he had filled their cans against the time when he could not lawfully tap.2
For the same reason that he was permitted to tap he received gratis, in February, 1656, a lot of ground in the city.8 On Feb- ruary 21, 1657, he was appointed one of the Measurers of Lime and. Grain.+ On April 13, 1657, his name was placed on the roll of small burghers.5 Much to his credit, he soon grew weary of tap room life, and longed to return to his wheat-producing bouwerie. During the war he had not parted with the title to all the land which he had previously bought of Bout6 for 8,000 florins.7 In 1658 he sold part of it to Harman Smeeman.8 On January 22, 1658, he asked for permission to return to Pavonia, and to be relieved from certain tithes.9 In September, 1661, he had become a man of "competence,"10 living on his bouwerie at Gemoenepa. He was one of the first magistrates of the new court at Bergen.11 In December, 1662, he joined his neighbors in asking the Governor for a minister of the gospel, and for whose support he subscribed twenty-five florins.12 He died in 1663.
His wife was Fitje Hartmans. In 1679 she was living at " Ghmoenepaen," and had " many grandchildren, all of whom were not unjust." The farm owned by her is marked on the

They have left this quaint record concerning hier : " We found her a little pious, after the manner of the country, and you could discover that there was something of the Lord in her, but very much covered up and defiled."? This is no light testimony to the old lady's religious attainments, considering that it is given by two men who seem to have looked upon all mankind, except that small portion which accepted their own peculiar views, as destined fuel for the everlasting bonfire. She was a member of the Bergen church in 1664: d. September 21, 1697.
