Lot: C26 (Taxlots)

Boele Roeloffsen, a tailor, bought the front part of this lot from Thomas Fredericksen, and the rear part from Dirck Jansen, from Oldenburgh, who had purchased the easterly half of Toussaint Briel's grant. He was obliged to sue Jansen, before he could get his rightful "third part" of the lot, which he and Abraham Lubbersen and Jansen had contracted for, but which the latter took in his own name. — Rec. N. Am., Ill: 183; Liber Deeds, A: 189. However, he recorded his deed from both parties, July 10, 1660, his house being already finished. — Ibid., A: 227.
