Contract for the sale of a house and lot in Albany from Hendrick Willemsen to Stoffel Jansen Abeel
[184] On this 19th day of July 16;2 appeared before me. Adriaen van Ilpendam, notary public residing in New Albany, and before the afternamed witnesses, Heyndrick Willemsz of the one part and Stoffel Jansz Abeel2 of the other part, who acknowledged that in all love and friendship they had agreed in manner following.
1 This memorandum gives the dimensions of a lot for a house and garden in Beverwyck which was granted to Claes Hendricksen by the director general and council on September 15, 1657. It is written on a separate piece of paper which has been pasted in the margin of page 184, though it has no connection with the contract of sale recorded on that page. The memo- randum is evidently of about the same date as the patent and may originally have been attached to the two deeds of March 15, 1661, from Willem Jansen Stoll (who married the widow of Claes Hendricksen) to Jan Barentsen Wemp and Claes Jansen van Rotterdam, each for one-half of the lot granted to Claes Hendricksen. See Early Records of Albany, 1:294, and Dutch Patents, HH. p. 92.
