After Cuyler's death, Anna his widow and Johannes his eldest son and heir, sold this land on May 1, 1699 to Carel Hansen for £180 ($450).
It was then described as a " piece of land mostly on the north side of the "river called Adriucha, opposite Pieter Van Olinda's and a little above the " farm of heirs of Claes Willemse Van Coppernol now in tenure and occupa- "tion of Philip Philipse de more," etc., as in the above mentioned patent. Carel Hansen held this land until the 1st March. 171§ when he sold that portion lying on the south side of the river to Harme and Sander Philipse for £100 ($250).§
That part of Cuyler's patent lying on the north side of the river and west of Lewis' creek came into possession of the Groots, perhaps by purchase of Toll and is still partly owned by that family.

Second. Cambeforts' flat. This parcel of land was purchased of the Indians by Cambefort probably before Cuyler obtained his patent ; it ex- tends from Kanquarreyonne [Towereune] up the river to Lewis' creek, the easterly bounds of Cuyler's patent. March 8, 1694, Cambefort contracted to sell this land to Carel Hanse. The patent to Cambefort was not granted until 22 April, 1703 ; the farm is therein described as " 20 acres of land " near Schenectady on the north side of the river, beginning from a place " called by the Indians Kaquarayoone, and the westerly bounds of the "patent granted to Schenectady,- running thence up westward along the " river to the limits [Lewis' creek] of land of Carel Hanse formerly belong- " ing to Henry Cuyler deceased."" On the 18th May, 1717, Cambefort gave a formal conveyance of said land to Toll .*
Third. The Seventh flat. The westerly half of the Seventh flat, and adjacent uplands, were conveyed to Carel Hanse, Oct. 13, 1684, by the trustees of Schenectady, whilst the easterly half was taken up by Reyer Schermerhorn, who, on the 8th of June, 1705, conveyed his moiety to his son Jan. Toll, by deed dated 18th Sept., 1720, conveyed his half to his son-in-law, Johannes Van Eps, for the sum of £150 ($375), describing it as " a piece of land on the north side of the Mohawk, bounded west by the " widow of Philip Groot [Lewis' creek] called Towarjoenny, south by said "river east by land of heirs of Reyer Schermerhorn and north by the com- "mons,"- in all about 50 acres.t
Carel Hanse, therefore, at one time owned all the land along the north bank of the Mohawk from Verf kil on the east, to Eva's kil at Crane's village on the west.
Fourth. Maalwyck. On the 17th March, 171}, Joseph Clement, step- son of Benjamin Roberts, sold to Carel Hanse, the easterly half of his farm at Maalwyck, together with the uppermost half of Bent's island. In 1735, the trustees of Schenectady conveyed to Toll an additional parcel of land of 170 acres. This farm is still owned by descendants of Carel Hanse.§

or marshall, 1638, and in 1640 received a patent for a lot in "Smit's valey" [Pearl street], New Amsterdam. He was born in 1585, married Susanna De Scheene and had seven children, three sons and four daughters, of whom Rebecca married Simon Simonse Groot, afterwards of Schenectady, and Susanna was the wife of Evert Janse Wendel of Beverwyck.
About the year 1670, his son Isaac, then about twenty-eight years of age, came to Schenectady and settled upon the Second flat on the south side of the river. This flat consisting of 22} morgens with 10 morgens of woodland adjoining, was granted to him and his cousin Jacobus Peek in 1677 by patent of Gov. Andros.
He married Maria daughter of Willem Brouwer and had four sons and three daughters. His death probably occurred about 1705 ; the following year his widow sold eight morgens of her land to Jacobus Peek .*
DANIEL JANSE VAN ANTWERPEN.
He was born in 1635 ; in 1656 he was a deputy schout fiscal at Fort Orange; in September, 1661 he agreed with Adrian Appel (who was an inn- keeper in New Amsterdam and trader in Albany, and doubtless traded sub rosa among the Indians on the Mohawk river), to serve him " in all matters and affairs that are just and right " for one year for 35 beavers [280 guilders] and all expenses ; in 1662 he was at Altoona (on the Delaware river) as deputy schout fiscal.
He went to Schenectady very early in its settlement, probably about 1665. He had much to do with the Indians, probably as a trader and settled eight miles beyond the village with impunity, though it is believed he took the precaution to build a stone walled house on the bank of the Mohawk in the centre of his bouwery, where he and friends were protected against hostile Indians and yet were well out into the narrow channel of trade, along the Mohawk valley. The house being close to the bank the river furnished a route for communicating with the village of Schenectady.
This house now exists essentially as it was, or possibly as rebuilt by Jan Pieterse Mabee,t in early part of the last century, with little change since.

History of the Schenectady Patent.
The English surveys (Sauthier's map) mark the house as late as the French and Indian war as Jan Danielse [Van Antwerpen's], and itineraries of the Mohawk Navigation Company show the adjacent shallow in the river as " Van Antwerp's Reef " where boatmen expected a struggle with the current.
His village lot was on the east corner of Union and Church streets which was occupied by him prior to 1671, when a confirmatory grant was made to him by Governor Francis Lovelace. Daniel Janse Van Antwerp owned this lot until 1715 when, at eighty years of age he released it to the consistory of the Nether Dutch church "good causes and consideration him thereunto moving " for the sole and perpetual use of the church.
In his deed it is described as "That Certain Lot of Ground Situate, " Lying and being in the Town of Schenectady and house thereon Erected "Containing In Lenth on the East Side Where It butts to the Lott of " Ground now belonging to Julius [Jillis] Van Vorst two hundred foot and " on the South Side by the Highway one hundred foot and on the west Side " Likewise by the High[way] and on the North Side abutting the Lott now " In Possession of John Peterson Mabee, that formerly belonged to Jan " Jans Yoncker where it is in breadth and lenth as before And so men- " tioned In the Confirmation above mentioned It being a Corner Lott," etc.
Prior to 1670 he settled on the "Third flat " on the south side of the Mohawk river about eight miles above the village of Schenectady.
On the 22 Oct., 1677 (having probably secured a deed from the Indians for it at that time),* he solicited letters of administration from the board of magistrates to the Governor and Council for " the third plain situated on this [south] side of the Mohawk river." The magistrates granted his request " acknowledging that he had done many services in their favor." A week later, to wit, on the 29 Oct., this letter was laid before the Governor in New York and he was granted the preference, " when it shall be deemed
, * [It is to be observed that in taking up lands, the Indian title was first purchased. This required time, besides duffels, strouds and brandy. The next step was to procure the approval of the magistrates and [their " letters of administration " to the Governor and Council soliciting them to confirm the Indian deed and issue a patent. Indian deeds were often given, but being valueless without the Governor's patent were not heard of again, the land in question being otherwise disposed of. Probably the Indians sold the same body of land repeatedly-they certainly demanded repeated pay for land in some instances. The policy of the magistrates of Albany was against extension of the white settlements into the Indian country as dangerous to their trade .- M'M.]

proper to take possession of these lands."* In furtherance of this grant of the Governor and Council the following survey of this flat was made soon after by surveyor Van der Baast.
" De derde Vlachte aen dese zyde Van de Maquaase rivier versoecht by " Daniel Jansen is lanch by de boskant in het geheele van de punt tot de an- " dere 356 Rooden, ende buyten de punten 193 rooden ende op zyn breetste " dwars ouer van de boskant tot de rivier 83 rooden maeckende te samen 31 " morgen en 379 rooden.
" Aldus gemeten door. " Joris Arissen Van der Baast."t
The patent for this land was granted 21 Aug., 1680, by Gov. Dongan, and on the 22 Jan., 170% Van Antwerp sold the westerly half of said farm to Jan Pieterse Mebie. The whole parcel was then described as being 356 rods long along the woodland and in breadth 193 rods and from the wood to the river 83 rods, containing altogether 31 morgens, 379 rods or 63 acres and 79 rods, in accordance with Van der Baast's measurement.} A portion of this flat is still owned by descendants of Jan Pieterse Mebie.
In 1676 he was one of five members of the court of justices of Schen- ectady and in 1701 was supervisor of the township.
Van Antwerpen married Maria, daughter of Symon Symonse Groot, and had five sons and three daughters, all of whom arrived at maturity and left families. Jan the eldest son married Agnieta, daughter of Harmen Vedder and had eleven children; Symon married Maria, daughter of Jacobus Peek and had ten children; he bought land and settled in Schaghticoke, made his will in 1744 and devised the westerly 'sixty feet of the lot of the late S. C. Groot in Union street to his son Jacobus.§ Daniel married Ariaantje,

daughter of Gerrit Symonse Veeder and had a family of eleven children, and Pieter married Engeltie, daughter of Jan Mebie and had twelve children, Arent married Sara Van Eps and had nine children.
Of the Van Antwerps living in eastern New York it is believed the major portion are descendants of Symon who founded the Schaghticoke branch of the family. From these they have spread throughout the country.
JAN DANIELSE VAN ANTWERPEN.
Jan Danielse-Daniel's oldest son, was born about 1670, in Schenectady; he married Angnieta Vedder in 1700; he died 20th Jan., 1756. He probably never lived in the village except during Indian invasion, though as an active soldier in the militia it might have been necessary for him to put his family with friends for safety while the men did yeoman's service as scouts. The writer has been unable to locate his village lot, if he had any.
In 1695 he was one of Lt. Bickford's party of volunteers* who chased and captured a squad of deserters from the garrison.
ARENT DANIELSE VAN ANTWERPEN.
Arent, son of Daniel Janse Van Antwerpen, married Sara, daughter of Johannes Van Eps and had nine children. His village lot was on the north side of State street, the same as now occupied by Given's hotel and part of Wall street. This lot he purchased of Douw Aukes in 1704. Its dimensions were 80 feet front, 90 feet in the rear, 385 feet deep on the east side, and 433 feet on the west side. The laying out of Wall and Liberty streets in later times has reduced the width and length of this lot.t
On the 10th March, 1706, the trustees of Schenectady conveyed to him " a piece of woodland in Schenectady on the north side of a small spring of "water [Jack's spring between Albany street and East avenue], that runs "into the [Coehorn] creek by the lot of Jan Baptist Van Eps, bounded " west by the woodland of Isaac Swits in length from said spring north along " by the woodland of said Swits 50 rods [600 Rynland feet] and in breadth "east 24 rods [288 Rynland feet] Rynland measure, containing two

morgens."* This parcel of land was bounded west by Nott Terrace, north by Cemetery avenue, south by Albany street and east by the division lane between the property of the late Jno. G. McChesney and the late B. J. Myndertse.t
He also owned 80 acres of land on the " Nestigeyone Hill at the Coehorn " mill, for which he and his partners were to deliver yearly 30 boards to the "grantors,-the trustees of Schenectady, beginning March 25, 1742."} This mill was probably on or near the site of Van Vorst's mill. Seventeen acres of the above parcel subsequently belonged to Arent S. Vedder and Nicolaas Veeder.
MARTEN VAN BENTHUYSEN.
He was son of Paulus Martense Van Benthuysen of Albany: marrying Feitje, daughter of Pieter Jacobse Borsboom, he settled in Schenectady and on the death of his father-in-law became possessed through his wife of one- fourth of the estate. Borsboom owned the farms on the bouwland numbered seven, the first of which he sold in 1669 to Jan Labatie, but retained the hindmost parcel consisting of 12 morgens, till his death, after which it was divided into four equal parts, one for each of his daughters. He also owned an ample village lot,-the north quarter of the block bounded by Washington, Union, Church and Front streets,-about 200 feet square,-also a garden on the east corner of Washington and Front streets, extending north 150 feet, nearly to the river, and a pasture of 2} morgens, beginning 182 feet, easterly from North street and extending from Front street to the river and having a front upon said street of 180 feet Amsterdam measure. Van Benthuysen through his wife Feitje had a fourth interest in all these parcels of land.§

History of the Schenectady Patent.
After his marriage with Catalyntje De Vos, widow of Arent Bratt, in 1691 he took up his residence in Schenectady.
In 1672 in company with Ryck Claase Van Vranken he bought land over the river in Niskayuna, a part of which he sold in 1678 to Theunis Willemse Van Woutbergh,* and the remainder came into possession of his step-son Dirk Bratt. He made his will Jan. 11, 169§ leaving all his property to his wife. He probably died about 1707 in which year his will was proved.t
GYSBERT GERRITSE VAN BRAKELEN.
Before coming to Schenectady he was a resident of Albany ; his first wife was Reyntje Stephens ; on the 23d July, 1693, he married Elizabeth, widow of Jan Van Eps, who outlived him and made her will in 1734.} Van Brakel made his will Dec. 10, 1709.§
His lands are particularly described and bounded in a new conveyance to him made Feb. 11, 1703 by the trustees of Schenectady, to replace "his writings which were lost when Schenectady was burned."
First. A lot " on the north [east] of said town between Jan Vrooman to " the east and Jan Luykase to the west ;- in length on the west side 29 rods " 4 feet [352 feet], on the east 28 rods 11 feet [374 feet], breadth on the south "50 feet, on the north 59 feet." This lot lies next east of Given's hotel lot and is now owned by the New York Central Railroad Company.
Second. " A pasture containing five morgens [10 acres] lying behind the " lots [on State street] of several people, now improved,-to the west, north "and south the commons or vacant land."

# This will made Sept. 13, 1734, was proved 22 May, 1735; by it she bequeathed to "my eldest son Jan Baptist Van Eps six shillings for his primogeniture ; " " to my son Gysbert Van Brakel 234 morgens of land of lot No. 7, of hindmost land, beginning by the wood lot of heirs of Evert Van Eps, from thence running in my lot untill he shall include or take in 234 morgens ; "-" to my daughter Maria Brat widow of Dirk Bratt 112 morgens adjoining the lands of my daughter Elizabeth above mentioned ; "-"to my daughter Elizabeth Van Vorst the wife of Gillis Van Vorst 134 morgens of land adjoin- ing Gysbert's above mentioned; "-" to my daughter Sarah Van Antwerpen 3 morgens adjoining the land of my daughter Maria Brat for which she is to pay £50 to my daughter Anna Ten Eyck, widow of Conraet Ten Eyck, viz. £8, 68. 8d., yearly after my decease untill all is paid."

This pasture so obscurely described, was bounded by Ferry, Union, Centre and very nearly Liberty streets, which latter was not then in existence.
Third. " A lot bounded east by Goosen Van Oort, south by the highway " [State street] north and west by said Gysbert's pasture [last above des- " cribed and by Ferry street],-in length on the north 18 rods 7} feet "[223} feet], west 14 rods 9 feet [177 feet], and south [on State street] 9 "rods 11 feet [119 feet]."*
This lot was on the east corner of State and Ferry streets, and here Van Brakel lived, just without the south gate, on the fatal night of Feb. 8, 1690, when his son Sander was killed and Stephen was carried away to Canada and probably never returned. It had a front of 119 feet Amsterdam measure, or, say 107 feet English, measured from the palisades which stood in Ferry street, and is now comprised in the property of Messrs. Furman, Steinfuhrer and P. Levi,-Nos. 77 to No. 91, having a front altogether of 98 feet English, the remaining 9 feet being taken by Ferry street.
Van Brakel left two sons living,-Gerrit the eldest and Gysbert; the former by right of primogeniture inheriting the estate, conveyed on Sept. 24, 1716, "to my loving brother-in-law [i. e., half-brother] Gysbert Gysbertse " two of the above lots of ground described as follows:
First. " A lot fronting the street [State] southward that leads from the "easternt gate of said town to Albany, 9 rods 11 feet,-to the west the " street [Ferry], to the east the lot now in possession of Robert Yates, to " the north the pasture ground ;- together with the half of said pasture " ground behind said lot containing about 2} morgens or 5 acres, butting " the street [Union] northly that leads by Adam Vrooman's brewhouse "toward Niskayuna, easterly butts the land of the aforementioned Gerrit " Van Brakel's half-to the southward by the lots of Lawrence Van der " Volgen, Claas Van der Volgen [now lots of Meyer's Stores and Van " Horne Hall], Abraham De Graaf, Daniel Danielse [Van Antwerpen], " Cornelis Pootman, Jonathan Dyer and the lot above mentioned [hereby " conveyed] to said Gysbert Gysbertse Van Brakel."§ Gerrit Van Brakel retained for his share of his father's estate, the lot on State street next east of the Given's hotel lot, and the easterly half of the before mentioned

pasture lot, extending from Centre street to a point a little west of Canal street. These parcels of land Gerrit was entitled to by virtue of his father's will, made 10 Dec., 1709, in which he devised to his son Gerrit, " his lot where " Gerrit's house now stands, lying next the lots of Jan Vrooman [on the east] "and Arent Danielse [Van Antwerpen] on the west ;- also his piece of land "named Juffrouwsland and half of the pasture [on Union street]."*
This parcel on Juffrouwsland containing two morgens, lay north-east of the car works upon the lane and was sold by Gerrit 17 April, 1741, to Robert Yates, merchant.
Gysbert Gerritse also received a conveyance Jan. 2, 1698 from the justice of the peace, Johannes Sanderse Glen and the gemeenmannen of Schenectady, of an island on the north side of the river, called Kruysbessen [Gooseberry] island lying west of Spuyten Duyvel [island], consideration 32 beavers at 6 guilders each, to be paid within three years; bondsmen his son Gerrit Gysbertse [Van Brakel] and Volckert Symonse [Veeder].t
He probably did not long retain possession of this island, for on the 10th April, 1702, Reyer Schermerhorn by virtue of the Dongan patent, conveyed it to Jillis Fonda, who transferred it Sept. 22, 1706, to Hendrick Vrooman and Arent Danielse Antwerpen, comprising two morgens more or less of land, and they sold it to Barent Vrooman Mar. 11, 170g for £21 [$52.50].] On the 6th June, 1750, Isaac Swits, mariner, and Maria his wife, by virtue of the will of Barent Vrooman, made 6 Sept., 1748, sold this island to Jacob Glen, since which time it has remained in the Sanders family.§
In 1702 Gysbert Gerritse also owned bouwery No. 7 on the second piece of land on the Great flat.
On the 10th Mar., 1706 the trustees of Schenectady conveyed to Gerrit, son of Gysbert Gerritse Van Brakel, "a piece of woodland on both sides of " Hansen kil [College brook], beginning 15 rods [180 feet] west of Symon "Groot's bridge, and runs up said creek the breadth of 24 rods [288 feet], " 75 rods [900 feet] making 3 morgens."||

CLAAS WILLEMSE VAN COPPERNOL.
He married Lea, a Mohawk woman, who after his death, about 1692, married Jonathan Stevens. In 1678 Coppernol and wife contracted to serve Jan Conell on his bouwery at Catskil for one year for 42 beavers .* In 1679 he hired a bouwery at Schenectady of Willem Teller and subsequently pur- chased and settled upon land at de willegen [the Willows] below Port Jackson on the south side of the river.
The Willow flat was granted to Pieter Van Olinda and Claas Willemse Van Coppernol by Governor Dongan, on 9th Nov., 1685, and is described as " bounded westerly by the woods 315 rods along the highest land to the " creek, east by the river 34 rods, the broadest part from the woods to the " river 66 rods, the point before [easterly end] runs to nothing, the after " [or westerly] end by Stone creek, containing 33 morgens or 66 acres and " 390 rods ;- also 200 acres of woodland adjoining." This flat was divided into two equal parcels, the hithermost or easterly portion to Van Olinda, the furthermost or westerly half to Van Coppernol.t In 1689 the latter sold his "half of the Willow flat to Philip Philipse de More in exchange for his " land received from Jan Mebie, house, barn and ricks together with the "Sixth flat on the over side [north side] of the Mohawk river just as he now possesses it."
On the 5th June, 1714, Reyer Schermerhorn and Jan Pieterse Mebie sold to Coppernol for £4-16 [$12], " a lot at Schenectady having to the west " another lot of said Mebie now occupied by Marte Van Benthuysen, to the " east a lot of Albert Vedder, to the south the highway [Front street], to " the north the Mohawk river, containing 22 morgens or 5 acres."§ This lot originally patented to Sander Leendertse Glen, commenced at a point
