Description
This house was sold to Willem Pietersen. We do not currently have information on him. TD 2-18-2010
Full Stokes Entry (See images below)
Willem Pietersen bought this house from Claes Hendricksen. The confirmation describes it as "bounded South to the water-side where the ships ride." — Patents, IV: 37 (Albany). A narrow lane afterwards separated it from Govert Loockermans's land. This lane is now widened into Hanover Street, and the building running from No. 123 Pearl Street to No. 76 Beaver Street covers the remnant of Pietersen's lot. He was a tapster, as well as a dealer in wines and spirits. — Rec. N. Am., II: 263, 266; Cal. Hist. MSS., Dutch, 144, 145. For an account of the controversy over the deed to this lot, see Rec. N. Am., I: 63.
