THE RICHARD PERO FARM Block Check List. 548-545-544.
The farm of Richard Perrow, or Pero (as the family spelled the name in later times), originally contained 15 acres lying west of the Bowery Lane and on both sides of the old highway.
Aug. 18, 1767, nearly all of the farm north of the highway was sold to Andrew Elliot, and subsequently became part of the Robert Richard Randall farm (Sailors Snug Harbor).
Andrew Maerschalck surveyed the remainder of the farm for the Pero heirs, the same day, Aug. 18, 1767. A copy of this survey is annexed to Liber Deeds, XXXVIII: 228, and ibid., CLX: 159 (New York). (There is a Holmes Map that shows this survey with relation to the street system.) A few months later than the date of the deed and survey, Arie Ryckman and his wife, who was one of the Pero family, sold lot 4 of this surveyed land to Elliot. (See that farm.)
The Pero farm, as it then existed, comprised lots 8 to 12 of the negroes lots south of the road, together with a lot once granted to Dominikes, a free negro, and a triangular parcel which had been part of Manuel Gerrits' early ground-brief. These last two negroes and their land are mentioned in the Herring farm.
North of the highway, the farm included lots 13 and 14, and the land of Antony, the blind negro.
Adriaen Cornelissen van Schaick accumulated these small parcels. No deeds are found for any of them. Their earlier history is set forth in detail under the heading: "The Negroes Lots."
Adriaen Cornelissen was an old inn keeper. He was the earliest proprietor of the Plow and Harrow tavern, at the turn of the road beyond the Fresh water. He kept this inn at the two mile stone until his death, in 1700. His wife Rebecca continued the tavern which was well known as "Rebecca's house."— L. M. R. K., Ill: 980.
