JACOB JANSEN NOSTRANDT, emigrated to this country in 1638 (O'Callaghan's History of New Netherlands, vol. i., pp. 433, 441) and settled in the colony of Rensselaerwyck, where Jacob Jansz Van Nostrandt, on May 21, 1652, took the oath to the Patroon. The immediate locality was in the south eastern corner of the now Saratoga County, at a place called "Halve Maen," or Half Moon, as his daughter Jannetje on the marriage record stated that she was born there. He was by trade a brewer.
Munsell's History of Albany, Deacons account book, Dutch Church, Albany .- The book opens with an inventory of the investments of the surplus money in the hands of the consistory belonging to the poor.

1676, Jacob the Brewer was referred to again. Obtained a patent for land in Albany in 1652, as Jacob Janse Van Nos- trandt the brewer; had a patent for a lot on the east corner of Beaver and South Pearl Street, 9 rods by 8}. This plot seems to have been divided into three smaller parcels, Nos. 1. 2, 3. In 1680, he conveyed No. I to Hendrick Gerritse Vander Meulen.

On the same block on Beaver Street, and at the other corner adjoining an alley on lots 5 and 6 was his brewery, which he sold in 1654, to Rutger Jacobsen, alias, Rut Van Woert, viz: Jacob Janse Van Noorstran's brewery and lot in Beaver Street, except the Horse Mill and brewers tools (nearly opposite the present Middle Dutch Church). In 1656 he was appointed inspector of beer barrels.
June 7, 1663, occurred the massacre at the Esopus, when Jacob the Brewer appears to have been present. In Aug. and Nov. of that year he was present at two baptisms in Kingston as getuigenis. In 1676 Jacob Jansen signed a petition of the Inhabitants of Esopus for a minister. The Dutch Church was founded in Beverwyck, or now Albany, about 1640, and was the only one north of Esopus having a permanent ministry, until after 1700, save that of Schenectady. Unfortunately the rec- ords of the Albany church previous to 1684 are missing, or some particulars of the baptism of his children might have been found. From the records of the Dutch Church of Kingston and New York he appears to have had issue:

JACOB VAN NOSTRAND, of Wolver Hollow, son of Aaron and Aeltje Van Steenwyck, bp. July 31, 1692, in N. Y. (witnesses, Jacob Noortstrant and Geertie Steenwyck); appears not to have been married. Owned land in W. H. as early as 1732, when the ground was bought for the Dutch Church. The boundary was described as beginning 3 rods east from the well of Jacob Van Nostrand. His will dated Sep. 19, 1769; proved Nov. 15, 1770 (R. L., 27, F., 440, N. Y.). The executors were his cousin Anthony, brother William and John Hendricksen.
