To all Christian People to whom this present writing shall come — Johannis Huygh of Kinderhook in the County of Albany and Province of New York, Yeoman, Son and Heir of Andries Hanse Huygh, late of said Kinderhook, deceased — Sends Greeting.

Commentary

Notes:

This is a rich document. Several things now become clear:

The Huygh family structure — their father was Andries Hanse Huygh, and Burger and Johannis were brothers. There was also a Lambert Huygh (likely another brother) whose land adjoined to the north.

A fifth share — Johannis is conveying his one-fifth part of an orchard/parcel at Pomponick. This strongly implies there were five Huygh heirs dividing Andries's estate — making Lambert, Burger, Johannis, and two others the likely children.

The original 1679 deed — the title traces back to a conveyance from John Handrikse Bruyn to Andries Hanse Huygh dated July 12, 1679 — deep in the Dutch period, just six years after the English took New York. The Pomponick Marsh land had been in the family for over fifty years by this point.

Three pounds ten shillings — a modest sum for a fifth share of an orchard, suggesting either the parcel was small or this was a family accommodation price between brothers.

Johannis still signs with his mark — confirming he was illiterate, as suggested by the 1734 document.

C. Van Dyck, Justice of the Peace — another Van Dyck in the Huyck orbit, consistent with the Arent Van Dyck who appeared earlier as Burger's agent.

The 1734 lease-and-release was Burger acquiring what appears to have been the main farm parcel. This 1736 quit claim was him then tidying up the orchard share — buying out Johannis's inherited fifth. The missing release deed and the other three siblings' shares may yet appear in the collection.
