On the 10th March, l70f, the trustees of Schenectady conveyed to "him " and his brother Dirk, — to each one-half — fourteen morgens of woodland, " bounded west by the woodland of Barent Vrooman, south by the Niskayuna " Path [Union street], east by the hill called Niskayuna Bergh [College Hill], "to be measured north from the highway."
This parcel extended along the north side of Union street 96 rods Rynland measure or 1152 feet, — from a point 152 feet easterly from Fonda street to a point 192 feet easterly from lot 187 Union street, — or about half way up College hill* and 87£ rods in the rear. This parcel was divided into two equal portions by an easterly and westerly line, Dirk taking the northerly half and Abraham the southerly half lying along the street. Subsequently Dirk sold his half to Philip Livingston of Albany, who 24 March, 173-f, exchanged it for a parcel of 12 morgens on the Kallebergh, called the Varken's Kraal, owned by the town.
