LOW FAMILY.
LOW.
Laurens Jansen, born in Leerdam, Holland, in 1651, and an- cestor of the Low family of Harlem, was the youngest son of Jan Bastiaensen, whose two elder sons bore the name of Kortright. For notices of their emigration see pages 67, 95, 204, 258; other references to Laurens after he established himself at Harlem may be found in subsequent pages. His share of the De Meyer lands, bought jointly with his brother, Cornelis, laid the founda- tion for the ample estate he acquired here; but which, with his grandsons, passed out of the name. His election as an overseer, in 1677, and repeatedly afterward, and the other responsible duties entrusted to him, evince the respect in which he was held. In the division of the De Meyer lands, Laurens took lot No. 2, on Jochem Pieters' Flat; No. 6, on Van Keulen's Hook, the two north gardens, or orchard, and the two erven, on one of which the new church was built in 1686. To said Lot 6. on which he afterward built, he added the lower half of No. 5 (rated at two morgen), by purchase from Paulus Richard, November 17, 1677. (See note, page 338.) He drew 61 acres in the several divisions. for which see Appendix J. Prior to 1715 he sold No. 4, 2d Division, to Johannes Benson, and conveyed the orchard to Peter Van Oblienis, the last the plot which passed to Peter Waldron, and since owned by James Chesterman, who built thereon the Chesterman house still standing (1881). Laurens married. in 1672. Mary, daughter of Albert Heymans Roosa, of Esopus. (See page 388.) On April 13. 1706, she and Laurens joined in the sale of her father's estate to her brother Arien Roosa. Laurens Jansen died in 1727.

Lawrence Low (10), born in Harlem, 1698, married on June 12, 1724, Jannetie, daughter of Marinus Roelofs Van Vleck- eren (whence Flackra and Flack), of Bloomingdale. He suc- ceeded to his father's lands at Harlem, as we have described them, and which his brother, Albert, as heir-at-law, released to him December 8, 1731. On May 22, 1732. he sold to widow Maria Myer his lot and a half (now called nine acres) on Van Keulen's Hook, and built upon his Lot 15 of i691, on the Heights, where he was living May 9, 1738, when he and his wife conveyed Lot No. 2, Jochem Pieters' Flat, to Isaac Myer. Low also made several considerable purchases; in 1737 he bought Lot No. 10 of the division of 1691, to which, in 1747, he added the upper half of the adjoining Lot 9, laid out to Dela- vall, and called "the 33 morgen lot" (this half, with No. 10. forming the tract since of Samuel Bradhurst) ; and also half of Delavall's No. 9, 4th Division. Low made his will November 25, 1754, which was proved November 4, 1755, and by which his widow was to enjoy his estate during her life. But ten years before her death, which happened in 1772, in her 70th year, her two sons made a formal division of the property, and sold some of it, whence it would appear that they had acquired the interests of their mother and sister.

HISTORY OF HARLEM.
34. Marinus, born 1734, married Deborah, daughter of John Oblinus, February 7, 1754. See Vol. 19, page 327, of Wills in the New York Surrogate's office.
On the division of the lands by Marinus and John, February 2, 1762, embracing, as at their father's death, 149 acres, Marinus took the 73 acres in Lots 9 and 10 of 1691, with No. 18, Ist Divis- ion, and No. 5, 3d Division. He conveyed to John No. 15 of 1691, being the homestead, Nos. 20 and 21, Ist Division, and No. 11 and half of 9, 4th Division. Having given sundry mort- gages on his lands, he sold out, in 1766, to John Maunsell, Esq., afterward Lieutenant-General in the British army.
35. John, who married Bridget, daughter of Adolph Meyer, June 22, 1765, had three children.
He added considerably to his lands ; including No. 4, Second Division, 17 acres, originally of his grandfather Low, and which had passed from the Bensons to Johannes Myer. He also bought No. 1, Second Division, 41 acres, and No. 16, Last Division, 31 acres. But he, too, sold out, in and between the years 1762 and 1767 ; his No. 11, Fourth Division, to Jacob Dyck- man; Lot 15 of 1691 to John Dykman; No. 1, Second Division, to Benjamin Waldron, Sen., and Nos. 20, 21, First Division, No. 4, Second Division, half of 9. Fourth Division, and No. 16. Last Division, to John Watkins. Thus within a few years after get- ting possession, the brothers Low disposed of all their lands here. In 1776 they kept a public-house at Freshwater, in the suburbs of the city.
This family must be distinguished from another of the same name, to which it bore no relationship, that of Ulster County, named page 184: members of which also lived in New York and New Jersey. It is indeed difficult to separate the two after the one left Harlem, and in regard to the latter family we should welcome further information.
