Full Stokes Entry (See images below)
The Rev. Samuel Drisius, in 1660, still owned all of his original grant in this block, except one of the houses on the Cingel, which he had sold to Tamis Davidts (Thomas Davids), May 27, 1660. — Patents, III: 38 (Albany); deed recorded September 28, 1664; Liber Deeds, B: 49; cf. Deeds y Conveyances (etc.), 1659-1664, trans, by O'Callaghan, 147. His lands extended east along Wall Street, as far as the present No. 45, and south along Broad Street, to a point about 75 feet north of Exchange Place.

As the Plan shows, he had built four houses on each street, while the interior of the block was laid out as a garden and orchard; as late as 1687, this was still the orchard of Elizabeth Drisius. — Liber A: 34, in Comptroller's Office.

"Mother Drissius" was taxed here in 1677, for "ijo foot front along y' Wall fitt for to build" {M. C. C, I: 55), i. e., the lots shown on the Plan between the corner of Wall and Broad Streets, where now the banking house of J. P. Morgan & Co. stands, and the first small house on Wall Street, east of Broad.

Lysbet Grevenraet, of Amsterdam, married, first, Isaac de Riemer, of Amsterdam; second, Elbert Elbertsen, who was drowned in the North River while trying to board the "Bontekoe," in November, 1655 {Min. of Orph. Court, I: 2), and, finally, Samuel Drisius, February 14, 1659. — Marriages in Ref. Dutch Ch., 23. She was a sister of Isaac Grevenraet. — Powers of Attorney, trans, by O'Callaghan, 143 . Four of her children by her first husband survived her: Margaretta, who married Cornelis Steenwyck, after May 11, 1658, and Domine Henricus Selyns, October 20, 1686; Mactell, who married Jaspar Missepadt (Nessepot), October 14, 1685; Pieter, and Huybert. — Liber Deeds, XXVI: 280; Marriages in Ref. Dutch Ch., 22, 58, 61.
