    Notes:

    The largest sale of Bronx real estate which ever took place, involving a plot of 3,332 acres, or something over five square miles, to wit: the sale of the Manor of Fordham by the Reformed Protestant Dutch Church in the City of New York, was inaugurated on September 29, 1753.

    On this date a notice was nailed on the door of the English Parish Church in the village of Westchester by Joost Vredenburgh. We know little about Vredenburgh, except that according to his affidavit he was a shoemaker. His two official companions were farmers, Hendrick Michaels, who spells his own name "Magiesle", and Benjamin Corsen. Michaels was the ancestor of the present Ryer family, well known in Bronx real estate, one of Hendrick Michaels' sons having been named Ryer and the succeeding generation having taken their father's first name instead of his last. The descendents of Benjamin Corsen are known by the name of Corsa and both families continued to be active in the Fordham Manor Church. Hendrick Ryer was an Elder and James Corsa was a Deacon in the year 1823.
