From the History of the City of Paterson and the County of Passaic:470
    Johannes lived on Totowa. His will, dated Oct. 10, 1808, was proved Sept. 5, 1809. By deed, Nov. i, 1793, for £17 N. Y. money, he conveyed to the Society for Establishing Useful Manufactures, one acre of land, "beginning on the bank of the Passaic river at low water mark near a pepperage saplin opposite the gap in the rock cut by Major L'Enfant, running thence on the margin of said river southerly 30 rods, to a black oak tree on the bank of said river, thence at right angles with said river 5 1/3 rods to a stake witii stones around it, thence northerly 30 rods in a line with said river to a black oak tree, and thence easterly 5 1/3 rods to the first mentioned point." This was on the northwest bank of the river, about 300 fee above the Falls bridge. In 1807 he was assessed for 66 acres of improved and 40 of unimproved land. It is said that when he was about to die, after dividing up his property, the Falls v/ere left; that property was considered good for nothing except for the fishing, so he concluded to leave it to all his children, to be enjoyed equally by them.
