The property in Stone Street belonging to Anthony Jansen van Salee. He is also designated Van Fees, Van Vaes, and Van Vees, the city of Fez, in Morocco, evidently being referred to. A Hollander, whose father, possibly in the course of commercial ventures to the Barbary states, is said to have embraced the tenets of Islam, he was also frequently alluded to as Anthony the Turk.
This strange character came to New Amsterdam prior to April 28, 1638. — Cal. Hist. MSS., Dutch, I. Before acquiring the premises here considered, he had received other grants on Manhattan (for which consult notes on Manatus Maps, No. 22), and on August 3, 1639, a grant was made to him of 100 morgen "on the Bay of the North River" — at Gravesend, which he leased to an English settler, one Edmund Adley. — Ibid., 10, 33; Liber GG: 61 (Albany).
His wife, Grietje Reyniers, was not only a woman of bad character, but had a foul and slanderous tongue, which rendered her very obnoxious to her neighbours in New Amsterdam; it was probably mainly because of her unpopularity there that Anthony betook himself with her to Long Island, where he continued to reside for the better part of his life.— Ca/. Hist. MSS., Dutch, 5, 64, 65, 67.
Besides farming his land at Gravesend, he was at New Utrecht quite early, as it is stated in 1659 that he had "dwelt many years in the place." — Doc. Hist. N. Y., 8vo. ed., I: 635-6, 640-1. In 1674, he was accused of harbouring a Quaker at his house and was fined a beaver for this offense. — Rec. N. Am., VII: 82, 84, 90.
His widow was living with his two sons, Jeremias and Abraham, in New Amsterdam, on the "Brug Straat, " as late as 1686. — Selyns's List, in N. Y. Hist. Soc. Collections, 1841, P- 395-
