In early times some member of the Kip family-was it Jacob or his father ?- obtained a patent for a farm of 150 acres, on the East River, on what is still known as Kip's Bay. It is said that Jacob Kip in 1655, the year after his marriage, erected on this farm a house which was rebuilt in 1696, and was, for a short time during the Revolution, Washington's head- quarters.§ It stood upon the line of [East] 35th Street, and was demol- ished in 1851. His house in the city was built in 1657, and situated in the present Exchange Place. He owned a number of city houses and lots, and in 1655 resided in the present Broad Street, near Exchange Place, and was there probably as late as 1674.| In 1686 he was living " Beyond the Fresh Water," the Kip's Bay farm doubtless being the place alluded to. T
The following paper, dated 1657 (?), imperfect and unexecuted, gives an interesting description of a Dutch house at that period : " Conditions and terms on which Jacob Kip, proposes to sell publicly, to the highest bidder, his house, kitchen, hen or hog yard, and lot lying in the city of [New] Amsterdam, over against the house of Heer Oloff Stevense [Van Cortland], as the same is occupied by him. The house two and thirty feet long and twenty feet broad, inclosed with thick planks and a glazed pantile roof, has a garret and floor, cellar walled up three, four or five feet with stone, and has a brick chimney in the front room, also a shop, the partition walls of bricks, the inner room built up with brick all around (rondtom), bedstead,

counting house, and larder therein ; besides the aforesaid house, there is a kitchen eight or nine feet wide and seventeen or eighteen feet long, on the side of the house, with a brick chimney, in use by him, together with a hen or hog yard in the rear, and the place paved with bricks, and an apple tree therein, also a common gangway on the west side of the house six feet wide, and a common well, and what more is thereon and fast in earth and nailed, except the andirons (handizer ) and hearth stone. "* This house and lot was probably situated in the present Stone Street.
Jacob Kip married March 8, 1654, Maria dau. of Dr. Johannes De La Montagne and Rachel Monjour. The record of their marriage states that she was from Amsterdam. She was born Jan. 26, 1637, at sea off the island of Madeira, on the voyage of her parents to New Netherland.t Her father, born in 1592, was a Huguenot physician-a man of great and varied learning-who was, soon after his arrival here, appointed by Gov. Kieft a member of the Council, in which office he was continued by Gov. Stuyvesant, until the 28th of Sept., 1656, when he was appointed Vice- director at Fort Orange (Albany). Jacob Kip died about the year 1690, and the last notice found of his widow is on the 21st May, 1701, at which date she was a sponsor at the baptism of Maria dau. of Dirck Hooglant. They had issue :
17. i. JOHANNES,3 bap. Feb. 21, 1655. He was a Brewer in the city of New York, and m. Sept. 4, 1681, Catharina, dau. of Dr. Hans Kierstede } and Sara Roelofs. He died in 1704, leaving his wife surviving him. They had issue :

# DR. HANS KIERSTEDE from Maegdenburg (perhaps Magdeburg, the capital of the province of Saxony) was one of the earliest practising physicians and surgeons settled in New Amsterdam, and came here with Gov. William Kieft in March, 1638. He m. June 29, 1642, Sara Roelofs, born in Amsterdam, dau. of Roe- lof Jansen and Anneke Jans of Trinity Church celebrity. His wife is said to have been more proficient in the Indian language than any other person in the colony, and in May, 1664, acted as interpreter in the great treaty made at New Amsterdam between Gov. Stuyvesant and the neighboring Indian tribes. Having often acted in that capacity, she was presented with a large tract of land on the west side of the North River, by Oritany, the chief of the Hackinsack and Tappan Indians (Broadhead's Hist. N. Y., I, p. 731.) Dr. Kierstede died about 1667, and his widow m. Sept. 1, 1669, Cornelius Van Borsum, of the Brooklyn Ferry, and removed to New Amersfort. She m. again at the latter place, July 21, 1683, Elbert Elbertszen [Stoothoof] widower of Aeltje Cornelis. She survived her last husband and died in New York about 1693. having on the 2d Sept., 1692, rejoined the Ref. Dutch Church here, with certificate from the church at Mid- wout. She had no children by her third husband, and probably none by her second. Dr. Hans Kierstede and Sara Roelofs had issue : 1. Jans, alias Hans, bap. Sept. 21, 1644 ; m. Feb. 12, 1667, Jannetie Looker- mans ; 2. Roelof, bap. Jan. 1, 1647 ; m. 1670 (?) Ytje Jans or Ytje Alberts (perhaps Ytje, dau. of Albert Jans), both names being given at the bap. of their children ; 3. Anna, bap. April 23, 1651 ; 4. Blandina. bap. June 8, 1653 ; m. Nov. 28, 1674, Petrus Bayard ; 5. Jochem, bap. Oct. 24, 1655 ; 6. Lucas, bap. Sept. 23, 1657 ; m. July 18, 1683, Rachel Kip ; 7. Catharyn, bap. Jan. 4, 1660 ; m. Sept. 4, 1681. Johannes Kip ; 8.

He survived his wife, and died without issue, leaving his estate to his brothers and sis- ters, and to the heirs of his deceased wife. He is described in his will as " of the county of New Town"-a clerical error-Newtown, L. I., being the place referred to, and where he probably resided at the time of his death.

27. HENDRICK KIP, Jr.2 (6.), born in Amsterdam ; m. Feb. 29, 1660, Anna de Sillen (De Sille) from Wyck, dau. of Nicasius De Sille,* First Counsellor to Director General Stuyvesant. He was admitted to the rights
* NICASIUS DE SILLE was the son of Laurens De Sille, the latter being described in December, 1654, as the late Advocate Fiscal of the States General, or United Netherlands. Laurens was probably the son of Nicasius De Sille, who was originally from Mechlin, in Belgium, and came to Amsterdam soon after the re- volt of the United Provinces against Spain, was chosen Pensionary of that city, and sent in 1587, with others, on an Embassy to Queen Elizabeth of England ; was Ambassador to Denmark, and afterwards to Germany, and was repeatedly sent a Deputy to the States General, and was twice Commissioner to the army whilst in the field ; he died Aug. 22, 1600, aged 57 years, and was buried in the choir of the Red church at Amster- dam. Nicasius of New Netherland was a native of Arnhem, the chief town of Guelderland, and came to New Amsterdam in the summer of 1653. In his commission as First Councillor to Director General Stuy- vesant, he is described as a "man well versed in the law and not unacquainted with military affairs, of good character and satisfactory acquirements." He was directed to reside at Fort Amsterdam, and to de- liberate with the Governor " on all affairs relating to war, police, and national force ; " to keep inviolate and increase all alliances of friendship and commerce ; to assist in the administration of justice, criminal and civil, and to advise the Governor in all events and occurrences that might transpire in the Colony. He superintended the preparation of the Fleet and accompanied it with Gov. Stuyvesant in the expedition to the South or Delaware river, against the Swedes in 1655. In May, 1656, he was appointed Schout-fiscal in place of Cornelis Van Tienhoven, who had been ignominiously dismissed from the public service. In June following. he was commissioned city Schout of New Amsterdam, in which office he was succeeded by Pieter Tonneman in April, 1660. In the meantime he had become one of the proprietors of New Utrecht, L. I .. where, in 1657, he built the first house erected in that town, which was demolished in 1850. The first records of the town are still preserved, in his handwriting. He resided at New Utrecht as late as 1674, and probably until his death, of which event we have found no mention. (Doc. Rel. to Col. Hist. of New York, vol. 2, p. 440 ; Cal. of N. Y. Hist. Dutch ; O' Callaghan's Hist. of New Netherland, vol. 2, p. 236 ; Brod- head's Hist. of N. Y., vol. 1 ; Anthology of New Netherland.) NICASIUS DE SILLE was twice married. The name of his first wife, who probably died before he came to New Amsterdam, is not known. In the record of his second marriage, the fact of his being a widower, is not entered, as was usual in such cases. He married second, May 26, 1655, Tryntje Crougers (Cregier) from the Hague, an alliance which proved the source of great unhappiness to both parties. By his second wife, from whom he separated by mutual agree- ment in 1668-9, he had no family. By his first wife he had issue :
i. LAURENCE DE SILLE, who married a dau. of Capt. Martin Cregier. "From Lau- rence De Sille," says Dr. O'Callaghan, "proceed all the branches of that family now in this country. They reside chiefly in the neighborhood of New York and Albany, having dropped the de before the name. The Rev. G. W. Sill, one of the descendants. is at present a clergyman in the State of Missouri." There is, how- ever, another branch of the Sill family, descendants of John Sill who settled in Cam- bridge, Mass., in 1637, among whom, singularly, there was a Rev. G. W. Sill, an Episcopal Clergyman, who resided some years ago in Missouri. (See Sill Family Genealogy.)
ii. GERDIENTJE DE SILLE, m. Jan Gerretse Van Couwenhoven, of Brooklyn ferry ; he was born in 1639. (See Bergen Genealogy.)
iii. ANNA DE SILLE, m. Hendrick Kip, Jr.,2 as noticed in the text.
There was a Walbrug De Sille who if not a daughter, was a near relative of Nicasius De Sille. She mar- ried first, Feb. 29, 1660, Frans Kregier (Cregier) from Borcken. son of Capt. Martin Cregier, and had Elisa- beth bap. July 5, 1662. She married second about 1668, William, son of Rev. Everardus Bogardus and

of a great burgher in New Amsterdam, April 17, 1657, * and soon after re- moved to New Amstel on the Delaware. In a letter + dated at Amster- dam, 22d April, 1659, the Commissioners of the Colony on the Delaware, inform Vice Director Alrichs that "the brewers Kettle for Hendrick Kip, will be sent you by the first opportunity," from which we infer that he was engaged in business there, as a Brewer. In Sept., 1659, he was one of the Council, and June 29, 1660, was appointed by D'Hinoyossa one of the Commissaries at New Amstel .¿ In a deed of Augustine Heerman, con- veying to him a house and lot in New Amsterdam, dated Sept. 17th, 1662, he is described as " Mr. Hendrick Hendricksen Kip, the younger, residing on the South [Delaware] River in New Netherland." How long he re- mained there is not known, but it is probable he had two sons, Nicasius and Petrus, born on the Delaware. It is supposed that he afterwards settled at Pollifly, near Hackensack, N. J. § Hendrick Kip and Anna de Sille, were sponsors at the baptism in New York, March 21, 1703, of Hen- derikus, son of Petrus Kip. This is the last notice found of Anna De Sille, and if the Hendrick Kip, who was sponsor with her, was her husband- which is probable-it is also the last notice of him.
They had two daughters bap. in the Dutch Church at New York, Cor- nelia,3 June 12, 1661, and Catharina,3 Nov. 9, 1664. Cornelia Kip (prob. dau. of Hendrick?), wife of Mathys Lyster, was a sponsor at the baptism in New York, of Petrus, son of Petrus Kip and Immetie Van Dyck, Dec. 26, 1709. Nicasius [Nicholas] Kip,3 probably a son | of Hendrick? and Anna (De Sille) Kip, with his wife Antie Breyant (Bryant), joined the First Re- formed (Dutch) Church at Hackensack, Sept. 22, 1694 .** He died about 1711. They had issue, all bap. at Hackensack : 1. Hendrick,4 born 1693 (?,) m. at H. July 24, 1714, Geertruy Van Dien ; 2. Pieter,4 born 1695 (?), m. at H., March 5, 1720, Elsie Van der Beek ; 3. Isaac,4 bap. 1697, m. at H. March 30, 1723, Willemintie Berdan, dau. of Jan Berdan and Eva Van Sickelen ; she was bap. at H., June 5, 1704 ; 4. Cornelis,4 bap. Jan. 1, 1700, m. at H., Sept. 17, 1720, Eva, dau. of Jan Berdan ; she was bap. at H., Oct. 1697; 5. Jacob,4 bap. Dec. 14, 1702, m. at H., April 6, 1728, Helena, dau. of Jan Ber- dan ; she was bap. at H., April 14, 1708 ; 6. Annatie,4 bap. Jan 3, 1706, m. at Anneke Jans, by whom she had bap. in New York : Cornelia, Aug. 25, 1669 : Everhardus, Dec. 4, 1675 : Maria and Lucretia, twins, Sept. 14, 1678 ; and Blandina, Sept. 13, 1680.
Daniel De Sille who gave Oct. 13, 1654, a Power of Attorney to Nicasius De Sille. to manage his affairs in New Netherland, was perhaps a brother of Nicasius. (See Cal. of N. Y. Hist. MSS. Dutch, p. 57.)

| Since writing the above we have been favored by Teunis G. Bergen. Esq., with the following, translated by him from the Flatbush town records. "January 29, 1678. Anna Kip (daughter of Nicasius De Sille) bound out her son Nicholas to Jan La Montangie, Master Cooper of New York, to learn said trade of Cooper, for six years, his time to commence May, 1678."
In 1687-the day and month does not appear in the record-PIETER CORNELISE BREYANDT (BRYANT) and Hendriktie Arents (Aerts), had a dau. Lysbeth bap. in the church at Hackensack, N. J. It is probable he is the same Pieter Cornelise, who had by wife Hendrikje Aerts (Arents), the following named children bap. in the Dutch Church at New York, and in Bergen, N. J. 1. Annetje, bap. N. Y .. Sept. 10, 1671; 2. Geer- truyd, bap. N. Y. Nov. 8, 1673 ; 3. Cornelis, born in B., April 18, 1676 (see Winfield's Land Titles, Hudson Co., N. J., p. 363), bap. N. Y., May 3, 1676 ; 4.
