Jeronimus Ebbingh, of Hamburg, one of New Amsterdam's wealthiest merchants, bought this house from Dirckie van Galen, widow of Skipper Willem Tomassen, April 26, 1657. — Liber Deeds, A: 93. She was in Holland at the time, where her husband had died prior to June, 1656. — Rec. N. Am., II: 120, 121, 126.
In May, 1655, "Willem Tomassen, Skipper, next to God, of the Ship Great Christopher," was busy preparing that vessel for her homeward voyage. — Ibid., I: 313. On March 15, 1655, before his departure, he signed a petition, as one of the residents of the Straet van de Graft (Stone Street), to have it paved with round stones. — Rec. N. Am., I: 300. In January, 1658, the "Court having examined the petition dated I5^^ March 1655," a warrant was issued to have the street paved with stone. — Ibid., VII: 166.
