death
Date:
Sep 18 1717
Description:
He died at his home, called a Bouwerie, or farm, along Roelof Jansen's Kil. Kil was another word for "stream" or "creek". The following is from the Ten Broeck Genealogy: "The current tradition regarding the name of the stream is as follows : Owing to a very severe winter in those early times, Roelof Jansen's boat became so wedged in the ice of this Kil, that he was obliged to spend the season with the neighboring Indians, and await the warm air of spring to release him, and ever thereafter the waters bore his name. On the banks of this Kil, on a gentle rise of ground,
Dirck W. Ten Broeck had dwelling and barns erected, and his interest grew and centered here, as the years passed on. His great-granddaughter, Albertina Ten Broeck...was probably the last of the family born in the house then erected upon the Bouwerie. She made a silhouette illustration of the place, which is both curious and interesting — a blending of imagination and reality."
