Before me, Cornelis van Tienhoven, secretary of New Netherland, appeared Piter Jansen, who acknowledged in the presence of the undersigned witnesses that he had purchased from Jan Forbus a tract of land situated on the East River, formerly occupied by Claes Carstensz, Davit Andriesz and Gorge Bacxter, as described in the patent thereof, for the sum of six hundred Carolus guilders, payable in three instalments, to wit: two hundred guilders in September A° 1649; two hundred guilders in September A° 1650, and the last sum of two hundred guilders A°1651, likewise in September. For which sum of money the aforesaid Piter Jansen binds his person and property, movable and immovable, and especially mortgages and binds the said land for the [ payment of the ] aforesaid six hundred guilders. On payment and ratification of the sum Jan Forbus shall deliver a proper deed and release of the said land, for which Jan Forbus also submits to all courts, and in token of the truth this is signed the 27th of April A°. 1649, in New Amsterdam.
