"The Slick Steegie where Evert Duijckingh lives," as de Sille announced in 1660, later became an undesirable place of residence. The house was sold, on February 3, 1674, to Jacob Melyn, whose attorney resold it to Dr. Johannes Kerfbyl, May 28, 1697. — Liber Deeds, mil: 221. Evert Duyckingh's wife was Hendrickje Simons. They were married on August 28, 1646. — Marriages in Ref. Dutch Ch., 14.

On December 19, 1728, Cornelius Clopper and wife sold the plot where Duyckingh's house had stood, 40 feet wide on the Mill Street, to the trustees for the Jewish congregation, Lewis and Mordecay Gomez, Jacob Franks, and Rodrigo Pacheco. — Liber Deeds, XXXI: 263. Here was erected the first synagogue built especially for Jewish worship, although the Jewish congregation had been worshipping in the city for many years — in a house belonging to Jan Harpendingh (see No. 13, infra.). The synagogue property covered No. 22 and parts of Nos. 20 and 24 South William Street.
