Note: Before the date of the grant to Philipsen this
piece of land formed part of the Highway. This explains
the description of Geraerdy's ho. as a "corner ho."

The lot was alleged to have been granted to Joost
Teunissen by the Burgomasters and to Jacob Hendrick-
sen Varrevanger by Stuyvesant. A long controversy
ensued {Rec. N. Am., II: 326; VII: 163, 164) but the
following ground-brief was finally issued:
1658
