The property of Pieter Jacobsen Marius, from Hoogwout. Rem Jansen van Jeveren, a smith, built the house, probably earlier than 1650, as he was then living at Fort Orange. — Fan Rensselaer Bowier MSS., 841. Marius purchased it in October, 1657. — Liber Deeds, A: 95. In September, 1770, his descendants, Silvester Marius Groen, Jacob Marius Groen, and Mary Lawrence, still owned the property. — Liber Mortgages, III: 24. Formerly known as No. 4 Pearl Street, it is now included in the Chesebrough Building.
Pieter Jacobsen Marius was a ship carpenter, but he acquired his large fortune in trade. He loaned money on goods and chattels of every kind, from a few yards of duffels to a yacht, or a house. It was on his suit, rigidly pressed, against Jacob Wolphertsen van Couwenhoven, that the Old Church on the Strand was sold. — Rec. N. Am., II: 153-4, IS4''- He married, November 13, 1655, Marritje Pieters, from Amsterdam, daughter of Pieter Cornelissen. Her sister, Debora, was married to Warner Wessels, April 10, 1667. — Marriages in Ref. Dutch Ch., 20, 32. He was an alderman of the city from 1677 to 1682. — M. C. C, I: 63, 69, 74; VIII: 146, 148.
In 1693, when the city had a gold cup made to present to Governor Fletcher, Pietei' Jacobsen Marius supplied the necessary twenty ounces of gold, at a cost of £106. The rents of the ferry had to be set aside until that sum was "fully Paid And Satisfied." — Ibid., I: 326.
On February 2, 1702, Marius wrote a letter to the consistory of the Dutch Reformed Church, offering them a hundred pounds to be placed at interest, the income to supply any deficiency in the minister's salary, "Since the Lord God has brought me out of blind Popery, to the true Christian faith here in this city." — Eccles. Rec, III: 1518.
Marius died between February 2, 1702, and March 12, 1703. — Idem.
