Two gr-brs. to Jan Pietersen. Neither found of record, Sep. 6
but recited in confirmation set forth below.
1668

Conf. Governor Nicolls to Jan Pietersen. (Pats. Alb. May 15
III: 34.) (i) Recites gr-br. to Jan Pietersen, Sep. 6,
1661. Desc: Cingel, being to E. above and W. of
Drisius; to S. of fortifications by the water-side* ; toN. of
Joseph Waldron; cont'g in br. on the N. side, 30 ft.; on
the S. side, 29 ft.; on the length on the W. side, 94 ft. and
on the E. side, 87 ft. (2) Recites another gr-br. of same
date to Jan Pietersen; desc: in the Cingel, having to W.
the above, to E. Hendrick de Scuyder; to S. of the
fortification; to N. of Joseph Waldron; cont'g in br. on
the N. side, 30 ft.; on the S. side, 29 ft.; length, on the W.
side, 87 ft. and on the E. side, 82 ft.

Subsequent conveyances recite Drisius as the holder of
the above recited conf. (Lib. 12, Deeds, N. Y. Co.: 114,
118; Lib. 23, Deeds: 57; Lib. 28, Deeds: 157.) This is
error. Drisius came into possession of the premises
under consideration, but was not confirmed therein.
The date of the deed from Jan Pietersen to Samuel
Drisius has not been ascertained; but it seems probable
that it was of even date with the above cited conf.
Drisius died seized of the property.
