Barmantus Freeman
DOMINIE BARNHARDUS FREERMAN.
Dominie Freerman, the second minister of the church, was born at Gilhuis, Holland, and came over with Dominie Lydius in 1700. After remaining here five years, he removed to Flatbush, where he died in 1741.
He married Margarita Van Schaaick, of New York, in 1705, and left one daughter, who married a son of Secretary Clarkson, whose descendants are still found in Flatbush and vicinity.

HENDRICK GARDENIER, alias FLODDER.
The Gardeniers settled mainly in that part of the ancient county of Albany now comprehended in Columbia county.
But little is known of Hendrick, beyond the fact that at the time of his death in 1694, he was a resident of Scotac and owned a lot on Union St., next east of the Dutch church lot, and that in the settlement of his estate for the benefit of his widow and children, it was sold to Jillis Van Vorst.
The following year, 1695, his widow Neeltie Claase married Johannes Ouderkerk of Albany.
To show the change made by time in the value of house lots in Schenec- tady, it may be mentioned that Gardenier's lot, 100 ft. front by 200 ft. deep, was appraised in 1695 at fifteen beaver skins seewant or $16 .*

Sander Glen's village lot was on the west side of Washington street, beginning at the north line of the lot belonging to the estate of the late Judge Paige and extending 200 (?) feet northerly along said street.
This lot passed by descent to his eldest son Jacob Sanderse and from the latter to his son Johannes Jacobse, who sold the southerly half in 1704 to Claas Van Petten.
In 1707, Johannes son of Johannes Jacobse Glen, by will bequeathed the northerly half to his brother Sander, who in 1750 bequeathed the same to his son Isaac.
On the death of the latter he left this lot with other property to Jillis and Jacob Fonda, sons of his sister Susanna and Abraham Fonda .*
The farm of Sander Leendertse lying on the north side of the river was called Nova Scotia or more commonly Scotia. The patent of date 3 Nov., 1665, describes this bonwery as " a parcel of land between the lake and the " river over against the town of Schenectady,-100'acres or 50 morgens - " in confirmation of a purchase of the grantee from the Indians."} The Glen property extended along the river from "Claas Graven's hoek" easterly to " Luysig hoek," just above Freeman's bridge, comprising with the additions several hundred acres. By marriage this estate passed to the Sanders family by whom a large portion of it is still held.
Besides the above land, Sander Leendertse also owned two bouwerys numbered three on the Great Flat which his grandson Johannes, son of Jacob Glen, sold to Claas Van Petten in 1704.1

History of the Schenectady Patent.
The foremost lot No. 3 which lies next west of the Schermerhorn farm No. 4 is described as " bounded on the east by lot No. 4, with a slaint line "between both lots south east by south and to the west [south-west] the " woods,-10 morgens, 130 rods .- also two morgens of land being part of " the hind lot, being also lot No. 3, which Van Petten must take along the "swamp or kil that runs beneath the hill by the highway."* This latter parcel was taken from the south end of the lot next the highway [river road]; the remaining ten morgens were retained and held by the Glen family, and in 1707 passed by will of Johannes Glen to his younger brother Sander.
The Van Petten bouwery,-the foremost lot No. 3, passed latterly into the Schermerhorn family and made part of their farm.
Sander Leendertse likewise owned a pasture next east of the Borsboom pasture on the north side of Front street, containing about 2} morgens. This lot commenced 299 feet east of North street and had a front of 17 Rhynland rods or 210 feet English, and extended north to the river. About 1670 he sold it to Jan Labatie of Albany.t
The }} May, 1667, and again 9th March, 1669, Sander Leendertse con- veyed his Scotia lands to his three sons, and on the 23 Aug., 1686, Gov. Dongan renewed the patent to Sander and Johannes (their brother Jacob being deceased). for the above lands together with an addition of three [morgens] of woodland adjoining.
In Jacob's will dated Aug. 14, 1685, he directed that his "lands. at " Nova Scotia near Schanegtade, at present used by my brothers to wit, " Sander and Johannes shall remain in their hands, provided they pay due "rent for the same,"-said land to be kept in the family.§
Jan. 30 1686, "Capt. Sander Glen, Johannes Glen his brother, of Nova " Scotia, in the county of Albany, yeoman, and Antje wife of Capt. " Sander Glen, and Antje wife of Johannes Glen, for sixty-eight good "beavers, sold to Claas Van Petten of the manor of Rensselaerswyck, a "parcel of land between the river and the lake over against Schenectady, "comprising twelve morgens of land, bounded east by land of Capt. Sander " Glen, south by the river, west by land of Johannes Glen and north by " the lake.""

The above twelve morgens of land, doubtless Jacob Glen's share - remained in the possession of Claas Van Petten until purchased back by exchange, by Johannes, Jacob's eldest son and heir, April 6, 1704. In this transaction Claas Van Patten reconveyed not only said twelve morgens, but also "another piece on the north side of the river as by said Johannes Jacobse Glen's transport appears," and in exchange for the same, Johannes Jacobse Glen conveyed to him a piece of land now in Van Pettens' occupa- tion, adjoining the lot of Reyer Schermerhorn, being lot No. 3, on the bouwland, bounded on the east by lot No. 4 "with a slaint line between both lots south-east by south, and to the west [south-west] the woods," -- ten morgens 130 rods ;- also "two morgens of land being part of the hind- " most lot being also No. 3 which Van Petten must take along the swamp " or kil that runs beneath the hill by the highway; "-" also the half lot in " the said town of Schenectady bounded to ye north the other half of ye lot " now in occupation of Johannes Jacobse Glen, to ye cast the highway " [Washington street], to the west the river [Binne kil] and to the south the "lot of Evert Van Eps, which he Glen doth convey to said Van Petten by " virtue of a patent granted by Governor Stuyvesant to Sander Leendertse "Glen grandfather of said Johannes Jacobse Glen June 16, 1664 .* "
Capt. Sander Glen died about 1695, without issue, leaving his estate to the children of his two brothers, Johannes and Jacob.
Jacob Glen of Albany, son and heir of Jacob Sanderse Glen, deceased, of said city, on the 30th Aug. 1707, conveyed to his uncle Johannes Sanderse Glen of Schenectady, his lands at Scotia opposite Schenectady ; "lot in the " town lying between lots of Arent Van Petten and Johannes Wemp ;- and " lot to the South of said town between lots of Reyer Schermerhorn on the " east and west sides as bequeathed to said Jacob by his father Jacob San- " derse Glen by will dated 14th Aug., 1685, and by last will of his uncle " Sander Glen deceased dated July 19 1690, and made over to him [Jacob " Glen] by Harmanus Wendel and Anna his wife and by Helena Glen, co- "heirs of said Jacob Glen, by conveyance of even date of these presents." Consideration £205 [851250].t
By inheritance and purchase, Johannes Sanderse Glen thus became pos- sessor of the larger portion of his father's estate at Scotia, which after his death in 1731, passed to his two sons, Col. Jacob and Abraham Glen ;- the former dwelt in the brick house built by his father in 1713, and still

And finally on the 27th of April, 1765, John Glen, Esq., of Albany, and John Glen, Jr., of Schenectady (and Catharine his wife), eldest son and heir of Jacob Glen of Albany, deceased, who was eldest son and heir of Johannes Jacobse Glen of Schenectady, deceased, who was eldest son and heir of Jacob Sanderse Glen, deceased, who was eldest son and heir of Sander Leendertse Glen of Schenectady, deceased, who died intestate ;- conveyed to John Sanders of Schenectady, for £4,000 [$10,000]-" All " that tract of land called Scotia between the lake and the river over against " the town of Schenectady-100 acres-Also those two dwelling houses on " Scotia's upland [above mentioned] and land thereunto belonging, herein- " after more fully described ;- Also the lake and an island in the lake and " the cripplebush and Swamp or lowland lying between the lake and the " river ;- Also a certain piece of land running from Nova Scotia westerly " upwards along the Mohawk river 100 rods, thence with a north line into " the woods 100 rods all Rynland measure, thence with a straight line to " the northernmost end or part of a certain lake, which is lying a little " behind the land of Nova Scotia, and from thence along said lake and the " lake's kil or creek as the same runs including the same to the Mohawk " river, from thence westwardly, upwards and along said river to the place " of beginning, containing about 60 acres more or less ;- Also another "parcel on the west bounds of Nova Scotia of 40 acres ;- Also a tract " called Achter- Wey and cripplebush lying between the lake and the river " and the lake's kil, which said last tract contains part of the first mentioned "tract."*
The two small islands in the Mohawk just west of the Glen house, also belonged to the Glen estate,-the one called Spuyten Duyvel now almost removed by the floods and Kruisbessen [gooseberry] island, which was purchased in 1750 by Col. Jacob Glen of Isaac Swits.t
Spuyten Duyvel together with a parcel of boslandt was purchased of the trustees of Schenectady by Johannes Sanderse Glen in 1705 for £16-10 [$41.25].}

A large Dutch cleft door opens into a hallway of very ample dimensions in the centre of the house; the rooms on either side, though low ceiled, are large.
The exterior is stuccoed. The roof is surmounted by a railed-in platform, giving a view down upon the very large farm (900 acres about), which pertains to the place.
The house is English in style, though the wing or L in rear, has the characteristic sharp Dutch gable. (It probably ante-dates the main building.)-M'M.]
