The Dominie's Farm The Dominie's farm was composed of six parcels of land.
A. The Plow and Harrow Plot.
B. Corlaer's Hook and the meadow belonging to it.
C. Bouwery No. 4, called The Pannebackers Bouwery.
D. Bouwery No. 5.
E. The grant of Claes van Elslandt.
F. The grant of Edward Marill.
The Dominie's farm was evidently bought as an investment, by Cornells Steenwyck and Oloffe Stevenson van Cortlandt. Neither partner lived on the land. Adriaen Cornelissen was in charge of the farm as early as 1665; as late as November, 1784.
Steenwyck bought Bouwery No. 4 and the Hall grant together in 1662. Before 1666 he had "taken in Mr. Oloffe Stevens van Cortlandt to be copartner with him." By March, 1671, they had acquired the whole tract.
