This list has been abstracted from Vol II, pages 215-341, of I. N. Phelps STOKES: The Iconography of Manhattan Island, 1498-1909; Arno Press, NY, 1967. 6 Volumes (Lib Congress C# 67-13560) [NCL RR 974.71 STO], by Robert L. Protzmann, April 1999. While care has been taken to insure that this list is complete and correct, it has not been independently proofed. If anyone has questions or corrections, please forward them by E-Mail to Robert.Protzman@akzo-nobel.com.

This list shows the owners of the property in 1660, when the Castello Plan Map was drawn. The list also shows the last previous owner, when recorded by Stokes. The list will be different from the Dutch Grants Map list, which shows the original grantee of a given piece of property. Although some original property owners may have retained title in 1660, many properties had been sold, some many times by then.

Note that the lot numbers given are based on "The Key to the Castello Plan, as provided by STOKES. The Dutch Grants Map uses different lot numbers, and the Castello Plan map, as reproduced by Spiers, also uses a different system of numbering.

Where STOKES gives the owner’s occupations, spouse’s names or property use, or renter’s names, they are listed. In Colonial times, before the age of banks, when merchants accumulated more wealth than they could invest in business, they invested that cash in property, and bought or built houses. The houses were rented, producing additional income. When children came of age, or were married, they were often given or allowed to live in these houses. If the owner died in possession of a number of houses, they were willed to his children or other heirs (who by that time were often the occupants). STOKES does not state that many of the houses were rented, because the information may not have been available, but this can be assumed when an individual owned a number of properties. Traders and skippers, who lived in Albany, often maintained houses in New Amsterdam. They may have rented a portion of the house, while keeping some rooms for their personal use when they visited New Amsterdam on business.
