Full Stokes Entry (See images below)
The formal garden on the west side of the Highway, outside of ' the Land Gate, was laid out by Jan Pietersen Verbrugge. It occupied the north-east corner of Cornelis Groesens's grant, of 1645. Its north line adjoined Jan Jansen Damen's land, and was coincident with the present north boundary of Trinity Churchyard. In the deed to Verbrugge, of April 12, 1654 (N. Y. Col. MSS., Ill: 112), its frontage is given as "10 rods, less J^ twelfth part" — a little less than 125 English feet.
It was bounded on the south by the "Cross street," a narrow lane which led to the North River. — See Map of Dutch Grants.
In 1662 and 1663, this piece of land was called the "garden of Jan Jellisen [Gillisen] Verbrugh." — Liber Deeds, A: 278, 285.
The Colve list, of 1673, rates it as the garden and orchard of Johannes van Brugh, valued at 460 florins. — N. Y. Col. Docs., II: 630.
