Title:
Van Schaick-Peebles family papers, 1707-1890 1771-1823.
Quantity:
1 box (0.50 cubic ft.)
Historical/biog note:
The Van Schaick and Peebles families owned Van Schaick (earlier Anthony's Long or Cahoos Island) and Peebles (earlier Haver or Stone) Island for 1665, when Goose Van Schaick was sold this land by Indians. These islands, and smaller adjacent islands, are now situated within the boundaries of the City of Cohoes and Town of Waterford. The family also had extensive land holdings in the Halfmoon Patent, which is now part of present day Saratoga County.
Review:
Papers consist mostly of legal and financial records related to the estates of various members of the Van Schaick and allied Peebles families. Legal documents include copies of wills and estate inventories regarding the property of Wessel Van Schaick (1712-1783), his wife, Maria Van Schaik (d. 1797), Christina Van Schaick (d. 1809), and Gerrit Peebles (1769-1847). Also includes deeds, leases, and agreements for the sale and lease of family lands and the lease of lands by family members from other landowners. Financial records include accounts, bills, and receipts, and slave bills of sale. Sundry papers concern family genealogy and history.
