The small house of Lysbet Tyssen, widow of Maryh Adriaensen. Site: on Pearl Street, just south of Maiden Lane, about No. 193 or No. 195 Pearl Street.

Marinus Adriaensen sailed by "den Eendracht" in July, 163 1, under contract with Kiliaen van Rensselaer. His wife and one child came with him. He probably left Rensselaerswyck in 1634, at the expiration of his three years' contract. — Van Rensselaer Bowier MSS., 806.

On August 27, 1641, he purchased land in the Smith's Valley from Hendrick Jansen, the tailor. — Government Grants, 1642-1649, p. i, in City Clerk's Library. He died before April 16, 1654, when his widow contracted a second marriage, with Gerlach Michielszen, from CoUumer ZijU. — Marriages in Ref. Dutch Ch., 18. They were married on the ensuing 3rd of May. In behalf of her young son, Tys* Marynsen, she and her new husband asked the court to appoint guardians, who could, alsoy confer with her to make satisfactory settlement of the paternal estate with her married daughter, who had come down from Fort Orange. — Rec. N. Am., I: 191.

In later years, this house was rented to Marten Jansen Smit, who afterwards purchased Willem Teller's house (No. 7). — Rec. N. Am., V: 304. He was taxed here as Marten Clazen Smith.^ — Ibid., V: 225.

In August, 1673, when Colve issued his drastic edict of demolition, Lysbeth Tyssen was told "that her small houses will be examined, to see whether they cannot be spared." — N. Y. Col. Docs., II: 631. No doubt, she had built several houses by that time. All the records prove her to have been a shrewd business woman. She was still living in November, 1682. — Liber Deeds, X.II: 100, I02.
