• Notes

  LUBBERT, the emigrant, brother of Willem Lubbertsen, also settled on Long Island immediately after his arrival in New Amsterdam, for on the 15th of December, 1662, he applied to the Schout and schepens of Flatbush for a building plot on the west side of the village and on the south side of the main road, as per Liber B, folio 14 of Flatbush records. Later he purchased, on the 20th of Aug., 1670, from Jan Miserol, a house at Rusten- burch, the local name of the southerly side of Flatbush, as per Liber A, folio 10, of Flatbush records. In Oct., 1673, he sold his farm lands obtained in 1662, to Cornelus Janse De Seen, for the sum of 4,000 guldens, and from this it may be inferred that he discontinued the life of a planter for a time and resided in the house purchased from Jan Miserol in 1670. No evidence is found of his having made any further purchases of lands on Long Island. To the above cited conveyances he signed himself LUBBERT LUBBERTS. Prior to 1676 he removed from Flatbush, L.I., to Hackensack, N.J., then a sparsely settled community. He and his wife transferred their church membership from Flatbush to the congregation at Bergen, Oct. 2, 1676, as no organization existed in Hackensack at so early a period. The marriages of his children, Lubbert, Roelof, Jan, Margrietje and Maritie, are all recorded in the Bergen church.
