BESCHER or BEETS, THOMAS, an Englishman, obtained Nov. 28, 1639, a patent for a tobacco plantation supposed to be located at Gowanus, which by a deed of May 17, 1639, he conveyed to Cornelis Lambertse (Cool), as per p. 7 of Cal. of Dutch Man., and for which Lambertse obtained a patent Apl. 5, 1642. This deed bears date prior to Besch- er's patent, land at that period being often occupied and rights disposed of prior to dates of patents. In Bescher's deed his lands are bounded on the N. by those of " Claes Cornelise Smit," and in Gov. Kieft's patent to Cool they are bounded on the N. by land of " Jan Pietersen."
