    ²⁰⁶ The following translation is made from the original bill of exchange, which is among the Rensselaerswyck Mss. A badly damaged copy of this bill of exchange, which is enclosed in the letter from Jan van Twiller, has the following statement at the bottom: "On this bill of exchange we, Brant Teunissen and Gerrit Ebben, each having married a daughter of Cornelis Pietersen, have paid to Jan van Twiller the sum of five hundred guilders. March 10, 1658, in Nyckerck." On August 23, 1654, Gysbert Philipse Velthuysen gave a power of attorney to Paulus Schrick of Repkouw, about to depart for patria, to demand and collect from Cornelis Pieterse, his father-in-law, dwelling at Velthuysen, all such moneys as were coming to the principal and to settle accounts with him. Early Records of Albany, 1:190. On July 28, 1657, François Boon gave a power of attorney to Johannes van Twiller, of Nieukerck, to procure payment of a bill of exchange executed by Gysbert Philipse van Velthuysen, which was protested by Cornelis Pietersen, farmer at Velthuysen. Ibid., 1:46. Velthuysen, or Veldhuizen, is a hamlet near Ede, in the province of Gelderland. Gysbert Philipsen van Velthuysen was killed by the Indians in the Esopus in 1659.
