Evert Jansen (Wendel), from Emden, built this house, and occupied it with his young wife, Susanna du Trieux, a daughter of Philippe du Trieux, whom he married July 31, 1644. — Marriages in Ref. Dutch Ch., 12. In 1648, he concluded to remove to Rensselaerswyck. The court there permitted him to move into the colony and to follow his trade as a cleermaecker, or tailor, on condition that he build a house at least two boards long. — Van Rensselaer Bowier MSS., 837.

Evert Jansen left his affairs in New Amsterdam in charge of his brother-in-law, Isaac de Foreest, to whom he gave power of attorney. — Liber Deeds, B: 169.

Hendrick van Bommel bought the house in June, 1658, giving back a purchase-money mortgage of 400 guilders to De Forest, and one for 100 guilders to Abraham Pietersen, Wendel's other trustee. — Mortgages, 1654-60, trans, by O'Callaghan, 82, 91. Van Bommel was still taxed here in 1677. — M. C. C, I: 60.

The house stood on the site of the present No. 20 Beaver Street.
