Lot: L8 (Taxlots)

On February 15, 1656, Sergeant Jacob Luby asked for his discharge from the Company's service "and leave to settle at Arnhem, where he has land; granted." — Cal. Hist. MSS., Dutch, 160. Jacob Luybeck, as he then spelled his name, bought the lot No. 8 from Jacob Strycker, in December, 1658 {Liber Deeds, A: 138), and built this house, though he seems to have lived at Bergen. He took the oath of allegiance in Bergen, on November 22, 1665. — N. J. Archives, ist series, I: 49. He was one of the commissioners to fortify the place {Register of N. Neth., 158), and married his second wife, Gerritje Cornelis, there, in 1672. — Bergen Records in Hoi. Soc. Year Book, 1914, p. 58.
