Eenkluys
HANS JANSE, is worthy to be remembered as the donor of the Poor Pasture to the poor of Schenectady. In 1632 he was one of the Dutch West India Company's officers, who erected the Arms of the States General at a spot called Kievit's Hoeck (Saybrook), at the mouth of the Connecticut River. In July, 1648, on the occasion of Gov. Stuyvesant's visit to Rensselaerswyck, he was employed to clean the Heer Patroon's cannons, and to fire the salute. He was an ancient man in 1680, and apparently without relations in this country, and made the Deacons of the church his administrators and legatees, on condition that he should be supported in his old age and weakness. After his decease in 1683, the deacons applied to the Court of Albany for power to administrate upon his estate, saying that Eenkluys had been weakly for 13 years since 1670; that they had supported and buried him: the Court referred the matter back to the Court of Schenectady. The original quantity of landwas 18 morgens, being that portion lying west of, or above the Hansen kil (now College brook); that portion lying east, or below the creek, called the Boght, was bought of Harmanus Van Slyck in 1806, for $1,750. The whole was sold in 1863 for about $10,000 to pay the debts incurred in building the present church edifice.
