Grant Description
Note: Johannes Nevius certainly before 1655 (see deed on N., Lib. A, Deeds, N. Y. Co.: 11) probably as early as the date of the gr-br. on the N. to Cornelis Groesens, which is recited to have been on Jan. 10, 1645. (Lib. A, Deeds, N. Y. Co.: 11.) That deed undoubt- edly follows the wording of the grant, and it bounds S. by Johannes Nevius. When Nevius protested that so much of his lot was cut ofl^ by the survey of 1657 and demanded five or six hundred guilders compensation, it seems certain that the Burgomasters bought his plot and re-sold or granted it to Christian Barentsen in Aug. of 1657. Barentsen recites that he has a gr-br., and sells in May, 1658, for 600 guilders and a mortgage of 500 guilders on the ho. (Lib. A, Deeds, N. Y. Co.: 130; Rec. N. Am., VII: 158.)
