Hendrick Willems, or Willemsen, the most successful and important baker of New Amsterdam and early New York, occupied this plot. Appointed an inspector of bread in 1661 {Rec. N. Am., Ill: 390-1), he became, under English rule, in 1688, overseer of bakers {M. C. C, I: 195), and, in 1670, overseer for laying out and paving the streets. — Rec. N. Am., VI: 228.
Willems died possessed of a good deal of real property in New Amsterdam, inherited by his grandchildren. His will is dated April 5, 1692. — Recited in Liber Deeds, XXVI: 107.
Col. Francis Lovelace, while governor of the province, occupied the Willems house, as a tenant. Dr. O'Callaghan, in his manuscript notes in possession of the N. Y. Hist. Society, says: "It is stated in a Dutch instrument dated 1668, Dec. 30, that 'd H^ Gouvern^' lived in the Winckel Straat on the West side." The instrument referred to was a mortgage of that date on Frederick Gijsbertsen vanden Bergh's house, adjoining No. i on the south. — Liber Mortgages, h: 50.
Hendrick Williams (Willems) sold this corner in 1680, to Fredrick Phillips. — Liber Deeds, XII: 41. It was the site of the town residence of Col. Roger Morris, who had married Mary, daughter of the second Frederick Phillips. Under the Act of 1779, this land was confiscated with the rest of Col. Morris's estate.
