- According to his father Adam's will, Jacobus did not inherit any landor money, but his eldest son Sybrant inherited the portion of landthat would have been Jacobus's by birthright in his father's will.Except that he had been disobedient to his father. The will does notstate as to what occurred in the disobedience, to have made his fatherleave him nothing in his will. Interesting though. [SLJjuhl,Compiler]

Upon Bout 's patent was located Freeke 's Mill, or the "old GowanusMill," probably the oldest in the town of Breukelen . As early 1661 ,it was occupied conjointly by Isaac De Forest and Adam Brower , thelatter purchasing the interest of the former.* They were, undoubtedly,tenants of Bout , who, in 1667 (King's Co. Convey., p. 179), gave "thecorn and meadows and place whereon the mill is grounded," to thechildren of Adam Brower . And, according to a deed, dated April 30,1707 , of Sybrant Brower to Abram and Nicholas Brower (King's Co.Convey., liber iii. p. 201) it appears that their ancestor, AdamBrower , had received from the heirs of Bout and Teunis Nuyse aconveyance of the neck of land upon which the mill was located. Thismill-pond was formed by damming off the head of Gowanus Kil , and theold mill was located just north of Union, west of Nevin , and betweenthat street and Bond.*" www.Ancestry.com [Transcribed 31 July 2008,SLJuhl, Compiler]
