Just in case:
>Bestevaers Cripplebush,  was Bestevaers Kreupelbosch (a type of tree?)

An incident occurred here of note on September 15, 1655 as reported by
Secretary Van Tienhoven (Inness 1902) "When the Indians landed, in
large numbers, upon Manhattan Island...in the absence of
Director-General Stuyvesant and of his soldiers, who had started a few
days before upon their expedition against the Swedes on the Delaware
River, one of the first points they commenced their work of violence
was at this warehouse."

(Tablet at 8-10 Peck Slip erected by the General Society of Mayflower
Descendants in 1904 to commemorate the warehouse of Isaac Allerton, a
Mayflower Pilgrim who was Governor Bradford's assistant at Plymouth.
[Museum Exhibition Commission 1909:64] "Here, then, for a number of
years the old Puritan merchant carried on his commercial transactions,
making frequent journeys backwards and forwards from his house in New
Haven." (Innes:336) In "In Small Things Forgotten" James Deetz speaks
about the architect finding one of Allerton's mysteriously unfinished
structures near Plymouth)

"They ran in large armed parties through the streets," says Van
Tienhoven, in his report to the Council, "violently attacked the house
of Mr. Allerton, knocking the lock from his door, beating his
servants, and ransacking his premises, on pretense of searching for
two Indians." (Innes:336-7). They were reported to be five or six
hundred in number, and fled across the Thomas Hall farm into the
swamp, known as Bestevaers Kreupelbosch, when a ship across the East
River, commanded by Captain Scharborgh, began training his guns on the
site." (Innes 1902). Other uses for the "Allerton warehouse" cited
were a temporary reception for the boys and girls sent over from the
almshouse in Amsterdam  (Almoners Orphanage) in 1654 to receive after
five years 53 acres of land. Govert Loockerman, one of the executors
of Allerton's estate becomes "orphan master" in place of Johannis van
Brugh. Govert Loockerman and  Isaac Allerton along with Cornelius
Steenwick and Cornelis Vanderveen are considered the four greatest
merchants of New Amsterdam.
