Full Stokes Entry (See images below)
Evert Duyckingh's new house on the Hoogh Straet is not as large as his old home on the Slyck Steegh (Block M, No. 12). The neighbourhood, however, was better. Very likely, the smaller house was built with every comfort known to the times; for Duyckingh was a prosperous man in 1656, when he bought this lot from Richard Smith, the elder. — Liber Deeds, A: 77.

In 1686, Domine Selyns's List certifies that Evert Duyckingh and his wife, Hendrickje Simons, whom he had married more than forty years eadier, were still living in this house. Apparently, one of their daughters, Cytie, wife of Willem Bleek, lived with them. At that time, De Heer Nicolas Bayard and his wife, Judith Verleth, lived next door, on the corner of the High Street and the Burger's Path. With them lived their kinswoman, Francina Hermans. On the other side, resided the family of Hendrick Wessels Ten Broeck, who had bought the house behind Steelman's large stone dwelling in Pearl Street, June 30, 1674. — Original Book of N. Y. Deeds, in N. Y. Hist. Soc. Collections, 1913, pp. 36-7. Evert could have desired no better neighbours.

Here he probably died. In 1727, his descendants, the heirs of Evert van de Water, sold the property, from street to street.- — Liber Deeds, XXXI: 204.

Site: Nos. 62 and 64 Stone Street, and Nos. 99 and loi Pearl Street. The Ten Broeck house was a wide one, and occupied the site of No. 60 Stone Street.
