F. The Grant to Toussaint Briel Toussaint Briel, a French Huguenot, had two grants for
this parcel of land, 23 acres more or less. The earlier patent may have been defective. Both were confirmed to Augustine Herman.
In 1668, when Bouwerie No. 8 was also confirmed to Herman, Briel's land was in possession of one Hendrick Thomassen. This name has not been identified on the records.
For Briel's home on the site of No. 29 Beaver St., see Vol. II: 242.
This land was earliest granted to one of the negroes in this colony, in all probability.
