Jacob Hendricksen Varravanger's two houses, mentioned in his confirmatory patent. — Patents, II: 8 (Albany). Shortly after he obtained this, he sold the lower house, No. 21, to Gerrit Janse Stavast {Original Book of N. Y. Deeds, in N. Y. Hist. Soc. Collections, 1913, pp. 14-15; Rec. N. Am.,V\: 175), and the upper house, with all that remained of his original grant, to William Pattison (Paterson). — Liber Deeds, B: 153; cf. Book of Records of Deeds y Transfers, (etc.), 1665-1672 (translated), 145. This latter house, confiscated by Governor Colve, was assigned to Gerrit Hendricks, the butcher, in lieu of his demolished house in Block H, No. 2.— JV. Y. Col. Docs., II: 636-7.
One of these houses was rented, in 1660, to Dirck Houthuysen, a smith, who, in turn, rented out the front room to Marten van de Waart. In the summer of 1660, Houthuysen absconded, and his effects were sold by the bailiff, for the benefit of his creditors. — Rec. N. Am., Ill: 192, 280. Varravanger, on October 12th, requested permission to lease the house, and asked "that the man, who occupies the front room shall vacate the same." Van de Waart protested, declaring that "he hired the front room for one year from the absconding Dirck Houthuyzen and paid thereon fl. 69:8," a very high rent in comparison with that of other houses in the block. He was ordered to vacate, " if he cannot agree with M!^ Jacob." — Ibid.,\\\: 229,234. In the following May, Van Waart was arrested for theft. Apparently, he had been using his room as a cache for stolen goods, having, by his own confession, "without torture or force," admitted various thefts during the preceding seven or eight years. He was a youth of good family, and, out of "consideration for his friends and his wife," the sentence of a public whipping at a stake and banishment for twenty-five years, with costs, was reduced, first, to a private scourging "in a closed chamber," costs, and banishment for ten years, and later to banishment only. — Ibid., 299, et seq.
Riker {Hist, of Harlem, 113) says that Marten van Weert was the ancestor of Isaac Van Wart, one of the captors of Major Andre.
