THE BREVOORT FARM
Brock Cueck List. 576-565-557-574-576.

The Brevoort farm, 86 acres in extent, included (the combination of) three early
ground-briefs.

A. The grant to Bastiaen Elles.
B. The grant to Egbert Wooterse.
C. The grant to Simon Congo. (freed slave)

The most southerly tract, of 16 acres, was granted to Bastiaen Elyssen from Werckhoven, a wheelwright, often referred to as Bastiaen de rademacker.

• Gerrit Bastiaenszen 1658 - ?

A 25 acre tract adjoining on the north was patented to
Egbert Wooterse. This 41 acre farm became the well known
Brevoort farm in later days. It vested in John Hendricksen
Brevoort in 1701.

Both grants were from Stuyvesant. Without doubt they
replaced earlier ground-briefs which had been abandoned††, for
the 45 acre parcel next further north had been patented to
Simon Congo, a free negro, during Kieft’s administration. The
Dutch grants were laid out in methodical fashion; there would
not have been a gap between Stoutenburgh’s land and Simon
Congo’s. In later years this 45 acre parcel became the Spingler
and Burling farms.

.curator note: subj. = " ground-briefs which had been abandoned††"
The "abandonment" seems doubtful to me. When the British took over, Blacks were discriminated against by statue. No Black could sell to blacks and freedom of movement was restricted. Congo heirs were driven out along with others freed by the Dutch (MMvB vol curator, May 2023) italics are mine, not Stokes'
