In 1663, he was appointed supercargo of the ship "Eagle." — Ibid., 251. His sons were confirmed here, after his death, as Willem and Pieter Guilyams {Patents, II: 152, Albany), following the Dutch fashion of nomenclature, but, in 1685, they were known as William and Peter Cornelison. — Liber Deeds, XIII: 73-6. During 1685-91, the corner house (on the site of No. 70 Broad Street) was occupied by Hendrick Jansen van flFeurden, a baker. — Liber Deeds, IX: 207 (Albany).
