Lut No. 41, a double garden plot adjoining De Cuyper, 16x20 rods. The whole= 98 acres.
So far I as have discovered the patentee died seized. By his will dated Oct. 16, 1700, Phillip French of London, then of New Brunswick, who had married his daughter, Annetje, July 8, 1694, became the owner of all his lands in Bergen. French sold to Ide Sip, June 4, 1752, a house lot in the town and a large out garden == 15 acres. My opinion is that the house lot referred to was lot No. 151 on the N. W. corner of Bergen Square, which the Sips afterwards sold to the church, by whom it is now owned. Tide Note to Tan Forst's Patent, p 60, and Note to Lot 2-5, p 109.
