Jacques Pryn, a worthy burgher, one of the members of the town rattlewatch {Min. of Orph. Court, II: 96), built this little cottage. He bought the "lot for a house and garden," unimproved, from Sybout Claessen (who had purchased it, August i, 1657), paying two hundred guilders, cash, and giving back a mortgage of three hundred guilders; a good price, at that time, even for so wide a lot — six rods, six feet, and four inches, on the Highway. Deed and mortgage were recorded February 19, i6^g.— Liber Deeds, A: 147; Morigages, 1654-1660, trans, by O'Callaghan, 126. Evidently, the house was newly built when the Plan was drawn.
In the tax-list of 1665, Pryn is rated as "Jacob the Frenchman." — Rec. N. Am., V: 225. He sold the property to the deacons, who transferred it to "Sarah Kiersteed," widow of Dr. Hans Kierstede. She was confirmed here in 1668. — Patents, II: 162 (Albany). The original ground-brief was to Pieter Collet, earlier than May 15, 1647. — Recitals in Liber, GG: 220 (Albany). Collet married Aeltje Jans, from Bremen, widow of Cornelis, from Rotterdam, by license of the last of August, 1643. — Marriages in Ref. Dutch Ch., 12. He was from Konigsberg, in East Prussia.
