[Note: The document has no date. An estimated date of 1693-1696 can be given to it. This based on the occurance of the name of Stoffell Langstraat. Stoffell bought his land in Gravesend on 26 July 1693 and sold it on 22 March 1696. The list was most likely drawn up sometime in between the two dates or shortly after the last one.]
