These two houses belonged to Jacobus Kip, and the vacant lot between them to his brother, Isaac Kip. — Liber HH (2): 56, 57, 127 (Albany). Jacob Kip lived in one of the houses, probably the larger one (No. 36), in the rear of which the well appears.

Isaac and Jacob Kip came to New Amsterdam with their father, Hendrick Hendricksen Kip, prior to 1643. — Purple's Contributions to the History of the Kip Family of New York and New Jersey.

Jacobus Kip was the first clerk of the City of New Amsterdam. He was appointed January 27, 1653. — Cal. Hist. MSS., Dutch, 130. The following year, January 12, 1654, the burgomasters appointed him receiver and book-keeper of the revenues of the city, which position carried with it an additional salary of 200 guilders. — Rec. N. Am., I: 150. In June, 1657, he resigned his secretaryship, but was ordered to continue in office until he had "finished transcribing the records thereof." — Cal. Hist. MSS., Dutch, 187.

He married Maria, daughter of Johannes de la Montagne, February 14, 1654. — Marriages in Ref. Dutch Ch., 18.

Kip was schepen of New Amsterdam in 1659, 1663, and 1665, and again in 1673 and 1674, while the city, as New Orange, was again under Dutch rule. — Rec. N. Am., Ill: 43; IV: 197; V: 185; VI: 397; VH: 113.

Part of this property remained in Jacob Kip's heirs until 1794. — Liber Deeds, LVI: 287. He had acquired Isaac Kip's lot before 1667. — Patents, II: 100 (Albany).
