but the wheelwright lived elsewhere.
The measurements of this house in the model are currently:
13' Wide x 25' Deep x 10' Tall.
This is an approximation, as the house has not yet been modeled in detail.
Full Stokes Entry (See images below)
Jan Pietersen received a grant for the land on which this house stands, September 6, 1661, confirmed May 15, 1668. — Patents, III: 34 (Albany). Pietersen's name never appears here afterward. Domine Drisius owned the property at the time of his death, and subsequent conveyances from his heirs all recite that the confirmation of above date was to Drisius. Possibly, Jan Pietersen acted as a dummy in the transaction. — Liber Deeds, XII: 114, 118; XXIII: 57-9. The house belonged to Drisius. — Key to Map of Dutch Grants.
