Full Stokes Entry (See images below)
Gerrit, the miller (Gerrit Fullewever), bought this house from Jan Jansen Schepmoes, the deed passing February 10, 1650. No doubt, he was in possession in July, 1647, the date of a deposition which mentions his tavern. — Cal. Hist. MSS., Dutch, 38. The house was built before March, 1645, when Gerrit Douman leased it. — Ibid., 32. Its garden stretched along the Great Highway more than one hundred feet. The house lots Nos. 6 and 7 were a part of it.
Fullewever was still living here in 1677. — M. C. C, I: 53. The date of his death has not been ascertained. On August 22, 1683, his widow, Barentje Hendricks, married the well-known Domine Gideon Schaats, who had lately moved to New Amsterdam from Albany. — Marriages in Ref. Dutch Ch., 53. She left the house to him by will dated October 27, 1688. He sold it, in 1692, to Sieur William Teller. — Liber Deeds, XXIII: 320.
Lots Nos. 4, 5, 6, and 7 formed the site of the Standard Oil Building, No. 26 Broadway.
to George Heathcote in 1676 and 1683. — Liber Deeds, V: 35 (Albany); Liber Deeds, XIII: 55 (New York).
In 1692, after a residence at Albany of more than half a century, Willem Teller came to New York, where most of his family were settled; and here he died, in 1701. His wife survived him but a year. His descendants are found today among New York's most prominent families. For Goosen Gerritsen, Rutger Jacobsen and Willem Teller — all prominent in Albany's earlier history — consult Munsell's Collections.
The Teller plot covered the northerly one hundred feet of Tymen Jansen's land, and was nearly square. The house stood on the north-west side of Pearl Street, about twenty feet south of Pine Street. The Wall Street sub-station of the Post Office covers the site. Rut Jacobsen sold his southerly moiety to Ryer StofFelsen, September 10, 1655. — Recitals in Patents, II: 85 (Albany).
On August 30, 1658, the council refused permission to Geertje, widow of Ryer StofFelsen, "to build a house right against the wall outside the city gate [the water gate]." — Cal. Hist. MSS., Dutch, 200. Forbidden to build, Geertje evidently cultivated her plot; in 1662, she asked "that a sewer may be laid near the work at the Water Gate to prevent the water from the work running thro' her garden. Whereupon it was stated, that attention should be paid to the matter." — Rec. N. Am., IV: 83.
The burgomasters, on March 7, 1665, purchased from Geertje Jans StofFelsen the most southerly end of her garden, two rods wide by seven rods, seven feet, deep, more or less, giving her in exchange a lot on the Hoogh Straet, behind the City Hall. — Liber Deeds, B: 67, 68; of. Mortgages, 1664-1675, trans, by O'Callaghan, 41-43.
This transaction is exactly like the one at the Land Gate, between the burgomasters and Sybout Claessen. Probably, the intention was to enlarge the approaches to the gates.
