Full Stokes Entry (See images below)
In June, 1656, Thomas Fredericksen bought the long, narrow, grant that had been Surgeon Pieter van Linden's. Of an average width of 35 feet, it was about 200 feet in length, stretching along the Prince Gracht as far as the fence line between houses 31 and 32 — on our modern street, as far as No. 52 Broad Street.
It was an excellent investment. Fredericksen was able to sell front lots to all the owners of the interior grants. The house at the corner of the Bever's Gracht was his home. By September, 1659, he had acquired sufficient means to resign his position as overseer of the weigh-house labourers, which position he had held for about three years; the magistrates of the city, in accepting the resignation, thanked him for his services, and he thanked them for their favour. — Rec. N. Am., Ill: 43.
Fredericksen and his wife were settled at Bergen by the fall of 1661, according to an entry in the Register of Solomon Lachaire, trans, by O'Callaghan, 180-1. He took the oath of allegiance there, November 22, 1665. — N. J. Archives, ist series, I: 49.
His house was purchased by Cornelis Barentsen vander Kuyl, February 12, 1664 {Liber Deeds, B: 31; cf. Deeds y Conveyances, etc., 1659-1664, trans, by O'Callaghan, 346-7), who was assessed here in 1677. — M. C. C, I: 59.
The Morris Building includes Nos. 25, 26, and 27. It is now the north-west corner of Broad and Beaver Streets.
