Other information:

     On 16 Jun 1637 he bought 335 acres of land from the Indians, in what is now Brooklyn. In 1654 he moved to Wallabout Bay on Long Island (NOTE: where Williamsburg is now. As this is still within present day Brooklyn, I am not sure what the distinction is)1 He was a representative from New Netherland in 1641, and a magistrate of Brooklyn in 1655-57, 60, and 62.1
