Carel van Brugge (d. 1682), who has signed this document in his official capacity as the Secretary of the High Council, despite going by his Dutch name, was an Englishman named Charles Bridges who had arrived in New Amsterdam via Curaçao. He came to New Netherland with Stuyvesant in May 1647 and was made Commissary at Fort Orange in November 1647, Commissary of the Provincial Accounts in 1651, and Provincial Secretary and ex officio Vendue Master in 1652. After the English took New Amsterdam, he resumed use of his English name. Wilhelmus Hendricksen Beeckman (1623-1707) also came to New Amsterdam with Peter Stuyvesant in 1647 and became the Treasurer of the Dutch West India Company. He served in various official capacities in New Amsterdam, including being appointed one of the five original schepens of the city. Cornelisz Claeszen Swits (1610-1655) was the son of Claes Cornelisz Swits (1576-1641), an early Swiss immigrant to New Amsterdam, who was killed by a Weckquaesgeek touching off what would become known as Kieft's War and the extermination of the tribe between 1643 and 1645. For the conveyance from Swits to Beeckman on the same date, and presumably relating to the same property, see Charles T. Gehring, ed., New York Historical Manuscripts: Dutch, Vols. GG, HH & II, Land Papers (Baltimore, 1980), II-23 (p.115). Old folds. With paper-covered red wax seal. Some losses to wax from the seal, though the paper covering in excellent condition.

Carel van Brugge (d. 1682), who has signed this document in his official capacity as the secretary of the High Council, was in fact an Englishman named Charles Bridges who had arrived in New Amsterdam via Curaçao. He came to New Netherland with Stuyvesant in May 1647 and was made commissary at Fort Orange in November 1647, commissary of the provincial accounts in 1651, and provincial secretary and ex officio vendue master in 1652. After the English took over and New Amsterdam became New York, he resumed use of his English name. Thomas Hall (16141670), who is purchasing the Manhattan property referred to in this document, arrived in New Amsterdam in the 1630s, after being captured following a failed attack on Fort Nassau, an English attempt to establish settlement on the Delaware River. By the end of the 1630s he was operating a tobacco plantation, becoming a successful farmer and merchant. He was elected a member of the Eight Men in 1643 and the Nine Men in 1647. Quoted and translated in Gehring's New York Historical Manuscripts: "Appeared.before us,.Gerritt Jansen van Oldenborgh, citizen and inhabitant of New Netherland; and declared to have conveyed to Thomas Hall a certain piece of land according to the patent thereof dated 17 February 1646; containing in all 25½ morgens and 125 rods; together with a marsh which has always been used by the farm called the Pannebackers, or farm No. 5 etc." For the conveyance from Gerritt Jansen Van Oldenborgh to Thomas Hall, see Charles T. Gehring, ed., New York Historical Manuscripts: Dutch, Vols. GG, HH & II, Land Papers (Baltimore, 1980), II-35a (p.119). Bifolium.
