What was here before?

The Egbert family were a prominent family and early settlers who once owned and lived on this site. Govert Egbert, family patriarch, arrived in New Amsterdam in 1660 on the ship “Spotted Cow”  The earliest mention of the Egbert family on Staten Island connects to Tunis Egbert, who bought land in 1698 and sold some to John Androvat in 1699. Tunis's will, dated July 6, 1721, lists his seven sons and four daughters.
