- Isaac De Forest
He was born July 10, 1616, at Leyden, Holland, and died July 25, 1674, at New York City.
He married, June 9, 1641, at New Amsterdam, N.Y., Sarah de Trieux, born in France, daughter of Philipe and Susanna (du Chesne) du Trieux.
He was 21 years of age when he came to America with his brother, Henry, arriving at New Amsterdam on Mar. 4, 1637. Not long after his arrival, he received a grant of 100 acres, nearly a mile in length, extending from Harlem Green east to the Harlem River at about 1st avenue and 126th St. The stipulation in all these grants was that they should be improved and cultivated within two years and after ten years of cultivation one-tenth of the crops should be paid to the officials. At first he lived with his sister and probably raised tobacco on his farm, but after his marriage, which took place in the “Church in the Fort”, where the record reads, “Isaac de Foreest, young man of Leyden, and Sara du Treux, young girl of New Netherland”, he went to live on his grant. His house was 30 ft. by 18 ft. with two 4-light windows, two 3-light windows, four beams with brackets and two free beams. It was to be “built tight all round to keep out water and snow, with a partition inside”, as one part was used as a dwelling and the other as a barn; the kitchen was in a separate building 20 ft. by 16 ft. having an English chimney. The tobacco house was 60 ft. long. The total cost was 300 Carolus guilders. His stock consisted of one-half of a bull calf and one-half of two young kids.
In 1643 he decided to leave the farm and so contracted with John Denton to cultivate it on shares, but the lease was can¬ celled on account of the trouble with the Indians and the property was sold in 1650. Isaac with his family lived on Winckel St. until in 1653 he purchased a house on what was later Brouwer St., where he lived until his death. In 1655, he owned a slave and in 1664, he and his partner were active bidders at a slave auction. He was a very active business man, a “Free Merchant” whose dealings were widely and wisely diversified, trading in tobacco, furs, lands, horses, and engaging in the brewing business for a short time. He secured possession of the old church building, remodelled it, and was granted, by the council, the Church lane adjoining. He was one of fifty-six of the Commonality who were summoned in 1643 to elect five or six to aid the government, which resulted in the selection of a popular board of “eight men”, which in a few years later became the “Nine men”. In 1652, he became one of these important citizens. He was Selectman for several years and a witness at the conference between Stuyvesant and the Indians, on the Delaware River. In 1652, he served as inspector of tobacco; in 1655/6, as farmer of the revenues of the weigh house; in 1660, as farmer of the revenue of the tavern excise. He was also one of the orphan masters, whose duty it was to rescue captive children and care for those children whose parents had been made captive or killed — a provision which grew out of the Indian hostilities.
He was one who volunteered to subscribe for the strengthening of the outer defences of the city, was among the twenty-one who submitted to be taxed for the repairs of the city, and in 1655, with nine others, he offered to pave Brouwer St., the first in the city to be paved. On Apr. 26, 1657, he petitioned for the privilege of the Great Burgher Right, giving as his reason that he had been in the country over twenty years, had built considerably in the city, and performed many services. The petition was not granted at that time, but four days later he was made “Small Burgher”, and on Jan. 28, 1658, he was one of six to be added to the Great Burghers; five days later he was elected “Schepen”.
In 1664, when Isaac De Forest was returning to New York after a trading voyage, he was surprised to discover that the English had appeared before the city. He was taken prisoner and provided with exaggerated information as to the strength of the English forces, and then allowed to go on his way. On account of his giving this information to the authorities in the city, it was decided to capitulate. The English took possession, changed the name from New Amsterdam to New York, and quartered the troops on the town. Isaac took the oath of allegiance as did most of his friends as well as his family and he lived to see the Dutch regain the town. In June, 1672, he and his wife drew up a joint will, in which they mention their children Susannah, Johannes, Philip, Isaac, Hendricus, Maria, David, “and the children which in future by Gods blessing may come. The purpose of the joint will was to provide that the one who should outlive the other might have all the property in trust for the children.
It will be seen by the above that he had been successful in his material interests. In 1664 he was spoken of as one of the "most affluent inhabitants of the city". At one time he was assessed 100 florins "for defence of the city" and no one was assessed more than 200 florins. His estate was appraised at 1500 guilders, or abut $600, but the estate of his widow was estimated to be 12,000 guilders, or $4800; one being probably, for some reason, appraised at a low valuation. The Produce Exchange on Stone St. now covers the site of his house and garden.
He died between July 26, 1674, and Sept. 26, 1674, when Sarah is spoken of as a widow. He was probably buried in the "old Grave Yard" of the Dutch Church.

- Ota the fourth of June, 1672, "being Tuesday in the morning, about 9 o'clock," an affecting incident in the history of Isaack and Sara his wife took place, probably in their own "best room." They were in consultation with William Bogardus, the notary public. The subject under discussion was the making of a joint will, each testator wishing to leave everyrthing to the one who should survive, a customary arrangement in those days. ^
In the "public Instrument" then drawn up, Dutch copies of which are still to be found in the New York Hall of Records and at Albany, Bogardus began by noting the following facts: "Appeared in their own persons Mr. Isaack fforeest. Brewer of this city and Sarah Truix, his lawfull wife, knowne to me notaris. The Testator sickly and the Testatrix sound of body, but both fully using their understanding memory and speech as outwardly appeared and could not be perceived to the contrary, — who considering the fragility of men, certainty of death and its uncertaine hour being not willing to depart this world before they have disposed of their temporall goods and therefore have in the best foraie and manner possible most fimie and freely as they declared, made their Testament/* ^
Isaack and Sara then named their seven children (all that had survived from the fourteen born to them) as their "only and universal heirs": Susannah, who had "married with" Peter De Rymier, Johannes, Philip, Isaac, Hendricus, Maria, David, "and the children, which in the future by Gods blessing may come." Susannah, their eldest, was then aged twenty-seven, and David, their baby, was less than three years old.
