Description
House of Maria Polet, widow of Philip Geraerdy.....she kept a tavern here.... Stokes. It is not clear from Stokes if this house was a house, or both a house and a part of the Wooden Horse Tavern at D5. For the sake of the model, we will assume that it is a house, where perhaps she took on overflow customers from the Wooden Horse next door. Maria is not listed in the Holland Society's original list of ancestors and so it is not possible to associate her with this house. This is a functionality that must revised in future iterations.

The house of Maria Polet, widow of Philip Geraerdy, who had married Mattheus de Vos, the notary, November 5, 1656. — Marriages in Ref. Dutch Ch., 21. She, evidently, still kept a tavern, for she is rated among the inn-keepers in 1657. — Rec. N. Am., II: 263. There is evidence that she retained the old sign-board. In June, 1661, Annetje Minnes, accused of having received some money from Neeltje Pieters — the result of a robbery — "says it is not true, but that she borrowed a crown from her [Neeltje] as before, and paid her Marys dollar, coming to the Wooden Horse and there earned it by work." — Ibid., Ill: 327. Mrs. de Vos asked to have curators appointed for the estate of her second husband, August 4, i668. She herself died before October 2d of the same year. — Ibid., VI: 142, 150.
Jan Geraerdy, her son, sold the house, January 28, 1672, to Capt. Thomas De Lavall. — Liber Deeds, B: 187; cf. Book of Records of Deeds y Transfers (etc.), 1665-1672 (translated), 205-6. Frederick Philipse added it to his holdings, in 1680. — Rec. N. Am., VII: 129; Original Book of N. Y. Deeds, in N. Y. Hist. Soc. Collections, 1913, p. 51; Liber Deeds, XII: 39-
