Johannes and his family made their home on Quackenbush property just north of the core city of Albany. In 1683, he was identified as one of those living "beyond the North Gate." His household including Six Children was configured on the Albany Census of 1697. Two years later, he joined his neighbors in pledging allegiance to the king of England.
Johannes sought out more rural locations for his residence. He had a farm with his brother north of the Mohawk in what became Clifton Park and was said to be interested in land at Schaghticoke and Canistigone.
In 1708, his name dropped from Albany rolls. Johannes Quackenbosch is said to have died at Canistigone in 1720.

Johannes and his wife, Machteld Post, were listed as members of the Reformed Dutch Church of Albany, New York, in 1683. Not long thereafter, Johannes, along with his brother, Reynier Quackenbosh, settled at Canastagione on the North bank of the Mohawk River. This settlement at Canastagione was made by seven men and their families: Johannes and Reynier Quackenbosch.
Jean Forte, a Frenchman; Jean Rosie, another Frenchman often employed as an interpreter on the missions to Canada, Dirck Arentse Bratt; and the brothers Gerrit Ryckse and Maas Ryckse Van Vranken. Carved out of the wilderness, the seven farms were located in a row along the river, each having about the same frontage. The nearest neighbors were across the river, some three miles distant, and at Half Moon, on the same side, about five miles to the east. The following deed records the transfer of the land from the Mohawk Indian Chiefs to Jan (or Johannes) and Reynier Quackenbosch.
"Know all men by these presents that we, the undersigned, Roode and Sagodiogquisax, both sachems of Cagnewage and Canagere, being also empowered to act for Thodorasse, declare that we have heretofore sold and granted a certain parcel of land of woodland, we are now inclined to convey, because we are old people and it may perhaps be a long time yet before we have a governor general in the land, owing to which unfortunate absence of the governor general no grant can now be had; therefore, we declare that we have sold, granted and conveyed as we hereby do sell, grant and convey to Rynier and Johannes Quackenbosch of their heirs, a certain parcel of woodland lying on the Kanistagajoensse River, beginning at the old marked black bark oak tree where Claes van Bockhoven's claim ends, which tree stands on the side of the aforesaid river, running thence from the river to another white bark oak tree which is marked with the wolf, standing near the dwelling of Johannes Quackenbosh aforesaid, being by estimation bout two thousand paces long and so far into the wooks northward as all the other neighbors have privilege; for which aforesaid parcel of woodland we acknowledge that we have been fully paid and satisfied, desiring therefore furthermore that when a governor general shall have arrived it may please his excellency to grant a patent for the aforesaid parcel of woodland to the aforesaid Reynier and Jan Quackenbos, or their heirs. In witness whereof we have subscribed this with our own hands and marks and sealed in Albany this 25th of September 1689.
The Document Was Signed: The mark X of Roode, made with his hand These marks X were X made by Sagodiogquisax with his own hand. Signed and Sealed in presence of
pr. Schuyler, Justice Signed and Sealed in presence of
Dirk Wessells, Justice Recorded ye 4th September 1700."
In 1703, Jean Fort unsuccessfully petitioned the governor for a patent on the wild land behind his farm.
Three years later the seven farmers entered into an agreement with Colonel Peter Schuyler to secure a patent for the land lying bhind their farms and one mile in depth. In return, they agreed to pay Colonel Schuyler 50 pounds upon delivery of the patent. The patent was finally granted on 20 April 1708 and the next year the parties released to each other one-senenth of the whole.
Machteld's parents were Captain Adriaen and Claartje (Moockers) Post, who came from the Hague in the Netherlands to Staten Island in 1650 and were among the founders of the Bergen Colony in 1655.
