"The trial appears to have taken place in 1741... " "Gerrit Dorlandt says....Remembers Jan Everts Bout in possession of Bevois land, was a man of 75, and married a girl of 16. ...."
p 539
"Benjamin Van Dewater, aged 71 years said he knew Jan Evertse Bout the son of the Patentee...he remembers Annetje Pieterson, widow of Jan Evertse Bout the elder....."
In a footnote, "This will, according to the affidavits of Jan Cornelisse Buys and Dirk Jansen, of Sept. 12, 1698 (see Lib 2 of con., p. 179, Kings county registers's office), in 1667 Bout gave "the corn and meadow and place whereon the mill is grounded," to the children of Adam Brouwer. By a recital in a deed dated April 30, 1707, of Sybrant Brouwer to Abram and Nicholas Brouwer (see lib. 3 of con., p. 201, Kings county register's office), it appear that a conveyance has been executed by the heirs of Jan Evertse Bout and "Tunis Nusye" (Denyse), to Adam Brouwer, their ancestor, for the neck of land on which the mill was located. March 1, 1695, Anntie Para, wdow of Jan Evertse Bout, Sen., and of Andries Janse Juriance, and now wife of Jan Jans Staats,...conveys the same to Jurian Andriesse, her son,.... and Lambert Andriesse, the latter probably also her son. Feb. 19, 1707-8, Jurian Andriesse for 400 pounds, conveyed the above premises...."
Also mentioned was that fact that Jan died before his son was born.
