Van Velsen alias Van Westbroek
SWEER TEUNISE, one of the five patentees of the town of Schenectady in 1684. In 1664 he m. Maritie Myndertse, wid. of Jan Barentse Wemp, by which marriage he became possessed of the Poesten mill at Lubberde's land (Troy), and a lot of land in Albany. About this time he removed to Schenectady and built a grist mill on Mill Lane; this was carried away by a flood, and rebuilt in 1673, In consideration of his loss, he was allowed to take an eighth instead of a tenth, as toll. In 1676 he was made magistrate of the village. In the massacre of 1690 he was slain, with his wife and four negro slaves, leaving no heirs. Besides half of Van Slyck's island, he owned the land on the south side of State Street, from Church Street nearly to Cowhorne creek, and extending upon the low land so as to comprehend about 25 acres. Before his death it was understood that he had in his will devised a half or a third of his property to the church, and the remainder to his wife's children by her first husband, but as this will, if it ever existed, was burned in the massacre, the church had no legal claim upon his estate. A compromise was therefore effected in 1696, the church taking that portion of his land lying on the south side of State Street, between Church Street and Dock Street, together with the grist mill, and his wife's heirs the remainder.

This lot was on the south side of State Street, between Green and Pearl Streets, and extended back only to the Rutten kil, now arched over and used as a sewer. The price of this house and lot was 2,325 guilders. In 1660 he returned to Holland; 1661 as agent for Dirk De Wolfe, merchant of Amsterdam, he erected a salt kettle on Coney Island, which being claimed by the inhabitants of Gravesend, he brought a suit before the governor and council to make good his claim to it, and being beaten, abandoned the enterprise; 1663 leased his bouwery at Schenectady to Symon Groot for 6ys., at 500 guilders rent; 1664 Harmen Vedder, William Teller and Sander Leendertse Glen petitioned Gov. Stuyvesant to have their lands surveyed at Schenectady; 1668 being in Holland with other merchants from the province of New York, he purchased goods and chartered the ship King Charles and petitioned the king of England for permission to send the same to New York, which was granted; 1667 he lived in Albany in a house belonging to Dirk De Wolfe of Amsterdam, who, having returned to Holland, Gov. Nicolls ordered the house and lot to be confiscated; 1672 he bought of Dirk Hesselingh de bouwery (daer den voorz; Dirk Hesselingh op woont op Schenechtede), soo het landt, also huys, schuer ende twee berghen, &c., soo als het de voornoemde Hesselingh van Jarriaen Teunissen gecocht heeft gehadt, &c., to be delivered to Harmen Vedder the coming May 1, 1672, together with the seed in the ground; this bouwery, No. 8 on the Bouwlandt, comprised 12 morgens and 130 rods of land and now forms the homestead of Col.
