Full Stokes Entry (See images below)
Frederick Lubbertsen employed SurveyorCortelyou to map his land on the HeereGraght, north of his own house plot. The survey was completed by August 25, 1658. Three small lots, 22x50, more or less, were laid out, and three cottages built, which were sold at vendue on the last day of April, 1659. OlofF Stevensen van Cortlandt bought the most southerly one — No. 13 {Liber Deeds, A: 181), and was confirmed in its possession in August, 1667. — Patents, II: 93 (Albany).
Hendrick Jansen Spiers of Gemoenepa (Communipaw), purchased No. 14, through his agent "Pieter Pietersen Menist." — Liber Deeds, A: 188, 190. Evidently, Spiers bought as an investment. On May 9, 1662, he found a customer in ChristofFel Gerritzen van Laer, a shoemaker, who had married two years earlier Catharina Jans, a maiden from The Hague. — Marriages in Ref. Dutch Ch., 25. The young couple set up their home in the cottage, for which Van Laer paid 1,500 guilders (about ^600). The deed was not recorded until October, 1681. — Liber Deeds, XII: 65; Register of Solomon Lachaire, trans, by O'Callaghan, 295-6.
Gerrit Jansen Roos, a carpenter, bought No. 15. — Liber Deeds, A: 159. He soon transferred it to Claes Paulusen {ibid., B: 7; cf. Deeds tff Conveyances, etc., 1659-1664, trans. by O'Callaghan, 300-1), who, in the meantime, had sold his own house on the Marckvelt Steegh to OlofF Stevensen (No. lo-c). Late in 1666, Pieter Abrahamsen van Deusen, a cooper, son of Abraham Pietersen (see Block C, No. 3), purchased the house; he was still living there with his huisvrouw, Hester Webbers, when Domine Selyns listed his congregation, in 1686. These cottages were on the site of Nos. 86, 84, and part of 82 Broad Street.
