Thomas Wandel, of Mespat Kill, acquired these houses by his marriage to the widow of Willem Harck, or Herrick, some time prior to January, 1660. — Rec. N. Am., Ill: 117. Harck bought them from Nicolaes Langevelthuysen, late corporal of the Company, in 1658. — Liber Deeds, A: 126. Jacob Leunissen bought them from Wandel, in 1663 and 1665, respectively. — Ibid., B: 14, 72; cf. Deeds y Conveyances (etc.), 1659-1664, trans, by O'Callaghan, 314-5; Mortgages, 1664-1675, pp. 51-2.
One of these houses was owned or occupied by Philippe du Trieux, at some period. Probably, he was the first settler, and built the house. Mrs. Robert W. de Forest says: "At the time of his daughter's marriage he was, however, living in a house which he had built on 'Bever Graft' (Beaver Street)." — A Walloon Family in America, I: iii.
Du Trieux's daughter, Sara, married Isaac de Forest, June 9, 1641. — Marriages in Ref. Dutch Ch., 10. Du Trieux had land in the Smith's Valley patented to him in 1640. — Liber GG: 34 (Albany). When he removed there, this property was granted to Roelof Jansen de Haes, July 6, 1643. — Ibid., 75. The legend of Du Trieux's occupancy survived in Briel's grant of 1651 (recited in Patents, II: 16, Albany) and in Paulus van der Beeck's deed to the Deaconry, on the west side, March 22, 1653 {Liber HH: 24, Albany), when he is mentioned as Philip de Truyn, deceased. It seems probable that Du Trieux was killed by the Indians, from a statement made in court, by Isaac de Forest, September 8, 1653. He acknowledged a debt, on behalf of the estate, "but says, in the name of Philip d'Truy's widow that her son Philip (who was also murdered) had earned fl. 100 monthly wages of Pieter Cornelisen, dec'', which are still due him." — Rec. N. Am., I: 115.
