Street and Broadway.

they owned more acres than scores
of old city families which have been
credited with great land posses
sions.
Jan Dyckman was the ancestor oi
the Manhattan island family of that
name. History states that he Joined
his Dutch neighbors in the little set
tlement around the fort in 1866, whep
the town had just come under Eng
lish rule. Perhaps that is one reason
which induced Jan to get as far away
as he could from the English rulers
and yet remain on the island. for less
than ten years later he was the owner
OF several hundred acres at the north
ern extremity, bordering Spuyten
Duyvil.
There, for over two hundred years
the Dyckmans lived, exemplifying to
the minutest detail the traditional
characteristics of the Dutch in frugal
ity. industry, simple yet generous hos
pitality, and the art of minding their
own business. When necessity de
manded they served the city as alder
men or constables, and they were al.
ways active in furthering the best in
terests Of the early Harlem village.
Later members Of the family added
to the broad acres acquired by the
original arrival, and at one time near
ly the entire tract of fertile meadow
land north of Fort George hill, as faI
as Spuyten Duyvil. was owned by
the Dyckmans.
The first Dyckman farmhouse stood
in the upper part Of the tract near
Spuyten Duyvil creek. 1t was a small
house, later replaced by large build
ing bordering on the Harlem a little
to the east of the present Dyckmar
house at Broadway and Two Hundred
