DYCKMAN FAMILY.
DYCKMAN.
Jan Dyckman,-Deekman, as then pronounced,-the ances- tor of the Dyckmans of Kingsbridge and vicinity, and ultimately one of the wealthiest of the patentees, came, as already stated, from Bentheim, in Westphalia,* probably in company with his early and life-long friends, Adolph Meyer and Arent Bussing,
. Johannes Dvckman, father of Cornelis, ancestor of the Bloomingdale family. was the son of Joris Dyckman and Aeltie Root, of Amsterdam, and not related, so far as appears, to Jan Dyckman, of Kingsbridge. He had been "first clerk" to the West India Company, came out in 1651, and served as clerk and commissary at Fort Orange of Albany, but in 1655 was laid aside by insanity. He died in 1672, leaving by his wife, Maria Bosyns, who survived him, two sons, said Cornelis, born 1647, and Johannes, born 1662. The last married Jannetie, daughter of Cornelis Viele, of Schenectady, and by her received land at the All Plaats, on which they had lived but two years, when the French and Indian massacre of 1690 happened. D)yckman and family made their escape to Albany, and went to Dutchess County, but in 1715 removed to the Manor of Livingston, where he enjoyed some prominence and left posterity. He had a son, Johannes, born 1690, and one daughter.
Cornelis Dyckman, some of whose descendants write the name Dikeman. married Jannetie, daughter of Dirck Claessen, potter (see p. 234), and settled in Albany County at Canistigione ( Niskayuna), buying lands, which he occupied five years or more, but abandoned in 1690, on the French and Indian invasion, finding a temporary home in Bergen County, New Jersey, but removing thence to Harlem, where he lived in 1694. and was made constable in 1698. He was still here on September 5, 1701, when he and wife sold 80 acres of their Niskayuna lands to Evert Van Ness. Cor- nelis finally buying a farm at Bloomingdale, there died, leaving children Johannes, Derick, George, Cornelius, Nicholas, Wyntie, married Johannes Kortright: Cornelia, married Jacob Harsen; Geertie, married Derick Vander Haan, and Elizabeth, married John Sprong. By his will, made November 1, 1711, when he was "sick and weak," Cornelis left his farm to his sons George and Cornelius, who were to remunerate the other children. But "the executors not sworn, and no administration granted," we infer that Derick and Nicholas bought it, as they owned parts of this farm, subse- quently, of about equal size and extending together from 70th to 78th street, on North River, and from 68th to 77th on 7th avenue. Johannes, the eldest son, born in Albany, leased a farm at Bloomingdale December 29, 1701, for six years, from Jurien Rynchout, and the next year married Rachel, daughter of Frederick De Voe, by whom he had Elizabeth, born 1703: Janneke, 1705; Cornelius, 1707; Hester, 1709; Frederick, 1711; the last two baptised at Hackensack, whither Johannes seems to have gone when his lease expired. Derick learned the art of weaving from Hendrick Brevoort. Ife married, 1711. Wilhelmina Bass, from Newtown. His will. dated February 16, 1730, was proved (October 12, 1762. He left his farm at Bloomingdale to his widow and children. The latter were: Cornelius, born 1713: Anna, 1716; Cornelia, 1718; Johannes. 1720; Derick, 1723; Aaron, 1726, and George, 1729. His daughter Anna married Jacobus Myer, and daughter Cornelia married, 1745, Teunis Somerindyke. Nicholas, born in Bergen, 1692, married. 1716, Anneke, daughter of John Sevenhoven, who by her father's will received half of the Fabricius farm on the East River side, and which she and Nicholas sold in 1751. Dyckman's homestead, at Bloomingdale embraced 94 acres, which ran up to 73rd street at 7th avenue, and a little higher on the river. Pursuant to his will, dated May 29, 1752, it was sold March 1. 1763. by his executors, John Ifarsen and Garret Cozine, to Jacob Harsen, who, two days later, reconveyed the northern half to said John Harsen (nephew of Dyckman, and also married to his daughter Rachel), and the southern half to said Cozine, whose wife was Jannetie Dyckman. The southern half, with east portion of the northern, formed the well-known Harsen estate.
George Dyckman married, May 17. 1712, Catalina, daughter of Teunis Idens V'an Huyse, of Bloomingdale, and went to Bergen County, but returned to occupy 115 acres conveyed to him, June 23. 1720, by his father-in-law, from off his farm. (See V'an Huyse.) In 1729 he bought an adjoining section of the farm from his brother-in-law, Abraham Montanye, with 20 acres in the rear, lying within the Har- lem line: also Montanye's erf, at Harlem. In 1748 he sold the erf and 20 acres to Adolph Benson and Jacob Dyckman, Jr. Jacob sold his 10 acres to Mrs. Mc- Gown, being the place in which she lived at McGown's Pass. (See Benson family.) George Dyckman owned a part of the old Tourneur Meadows on the little Mill C'reek, "two acres, more or less," gotten, we presume, with Montanye's land, and bought by Montanye when the adjacent Tourneur farm, to which it had belonged. was sold to the Kortrights. Dyckman sold these meadows, October 19. 1734, to Nicholas Kortright, married to his niece, whence they passed to Abraham Myer, June 12. 1740. and from Myer to Peter Bussing. April 16, 1753. Dyckman died January 16, 1753. He had issue, Jannetie, born 1714; Teuntie, born 1716; Cornelius, born 1718; Maria. 1720; Teunis- Fidesse, 1722: George. 1725, and John, 1728.

jointly with whom he first became a landholder, March 13, 1666, by the purchase of Simon De Ruine's farm. But with little means of their own, the borrowed purchase money, 2,000 guilders, was apparently too heavy a burden to carry, for the associates, on April 7, ensuing, turned over their bargain to Captain Delavall. Dyckman united with the church at New York, on February 26. 1673, together with Bussing and others, his young acquaintances. of both sexes, to one of whom, Madelaine, daughter of Daniel Tourneur, Dyckman was married during the next summer. Ob- taining by her a farming lot upon Montanye's Flat. and two of the out-gardens on which to build and begin domestic life, Dyck- man bought of Meyer, November 2, following, "a certain hook of marsh land," on the north end of lot 4, Van Keulen's Hook. We have taken notice. page 344. of his grant and purchase at Spuyten Duyvel in 1677, in connection with Jan Nagel. The lat- ter died in 1689, and the next year, May 19, 1690, Dyckman, then living at Spuyten Duyvel .. married his widow, Rebecca, who was a daughter of Resolved Waldron. By this means the union of the Dyckman and Nagel estates was maintained. They drew jointly of the common land in 1691, but in 1712, the Nagel heirs being of age. the drafts were made in separate lots, in the names of Jan Dyckman and Jan Nagel respectively.
The land drawn in 1691 lay in two places : one parcel, No. 14. of 20 morgen, being on Jochem Pieters' Hills (see Appendix J), and the other, No. 24, drawn mainly on their joint rights at Spuyten Duyvel, embracing all the common land north of Sher- man's Creek, as shown by the annexed extract from the ,deed (groundbrief), having the written consent of the freeholders, and signed by the town officers, March 21, 1701.
No. 24.
There is set off for Jan Dyckman and Jan Nagel, on account of 26 morgen and 2 erven,* a piece of land upon the end of York Island, north of the Round Meadow and the Half Creek, commonly called Pieter Tuynier's Fall, till to the little Sand Bay lying at the North River; all the common land north of this above written boundary; also a suitable King's Way shall remain over the said land.
The quantity of land strictly due upon the given erf and morgen rights was 49 acres, but the grant was estimated at 149. The additional 100 acres, with 16 more on Jochem Pieters' Hills (known as Lot 17. Last Division), all woodland, were gotten by agreement between Dyckman and the town, in exchange for
of Jolin Buys). sold their city property in 1759 and returned to Bloomingdale. He was alderman of the Out Ward. 1769 to 1773, and died some years after the Revolution. leaving children Teunis-Eidesse, Matthew. John, Catherine and Rebecca. Catherine married, in 1780, Peter Grim, Jr. These divided the paternal lands in 1793. Of this family and branch, we believe, was Judge John Dikeman, of Brooklyn.
* These erf and morgen rights had been adjusted as early as 1686. How they were made up is shown in a note in Appendix J.

cleared land on Jochem Pieters' Flat (29 acres), which had belonged to Nagel, but was now wanted in order to make up the quantity claimed by the heirs of Captain Delavall, in that tract. In this exchange Dyckman got four acres of woodland for one of tillable land, being the relative value of the two at that date. See this matter further explained in Appendix E.
The deed of necessity included the lands covered by the old Jansen and Aertsen patent, and known latterly as the Dyckman Homestead. Dyckman and the Nagels also bought in company three lots, Nos. 11, 12, 13, adjoining their lot 14, on Jochem Pieters' Hills. Thus in 1715, when Dyckman died, his estate and Nagel's together were rated at 300 acres; which was exclusive of the said lots 11 to 14, being 90 acres, then held in his own name by Dyckman's son Gerrit, and also of the three Nagel lots on Jochem Pieters' Flat, except II acres, also of the Dyckman lot on Mon- tanye's Flat, which had passed to Zacharias Sickels, and the Nagel drafts in the four divisions which had been disposed of to Abra- ham Myer and Johannes Waldron.
Jan Dyckman's death. in 1715. was followed after four years by that of his widow.
The Dyckman and Nagel children, under the marriage articles between Dyckman and Mrs. Nagel, dated May 12, 1690, and their joint will of November 2, 1702, were to share equally of the patrimonial estates. Before Dyckman died his eldest son, Gerrit, as already seen, had come to possess the 90 acres, or lots II to 14, on Jochem Pieters' Hills : and other of the separated parcels had been disposed of. But the ample domain above Sherman's Creek, and Dyckman's drafts in the four divisions, remained intact and undivided till November 10, 1719, when the heirs of both names made a settlement. Gerrit Dyckman took 30 acres more of his father's estate. embracing his lots in Ist and 4th Divisions, and half of No. 17 Last Division, being eight acres near Kiersen. Jacob Dyckman and John Nagel, Jr., on the date afore- said, bought the interests of their co-heirs respectively in the remaining lands, which gave Dyckman 120 acres and Nagel 151 acres : the latter taking the Dyckman lots in 2d and 3d Divisions. Each had an equal quantity above Sherman's Creek, to wit, 112 acres, and these lands, excepting the homesteads, were held in joint tenancy for another ten years. Their possessions were made up thus :
