- Lot Description
Colonial North America, British New York, ca. 1762 CE. A land grant, handwritten on parchment and stamped with two thick red wax seals, displayed in a frame completely unfolded aside from the signatures, which are folded over in a thin strip at the bottom of the front. The back side as displayed here is the outside of the document when it is folded, with writing indicating the interior contents. The land grant is signed by David Abeel (1705-1777) and his wife Maria Abeel (1702-1780) and pertains to land around Crown Street, which is in modern day Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Displayed in a wooden frame with both sides visible. Size of parchment: 22.05" W x 16.85" H (56 cm x 42.8 cm); size of frame: 24.25" W x 19.5" H (61.6 cm x 49.5 cm)
The Abeel family were some of the first colonists to settle in Albany after arriving from Amsterdam in the later 1640s, and they went on to be successful merchants in the 17th and 18th centuries and prominent patriots during the Revolutionary War. David Abeel was sent to New York City to be apprenticed to David Schuyler, who had a dry goods business. The Schuyler family were also prominent Dutch colonists, and included Elizabeth Schuyler, Alexander Hamilton's wife. In 1726, Abeel married Maria, nee Duyckingh (yet another prominent Dutch immigrant family that counts Eleanor Roosevelt among its descendants), and they had four children. Abeel went on to fight in the Revolutionary War as the captain of the 5th company of militia in the city and county of New York.
