[Robert Turner conveyed his twenty-two shares of the property to Samuel 

 Carpenter in 1692, and the mills having been rebuilt in a substantial manner, on 

 Caleb Pusey's land, he executed a release of the proper proportions thereof to 

 Samuel Carpenter and William Penn. The deed from which the above extract 

 was taken, conveys the twenty-two shares of Samuel Carpenter to Caleb Pusey, 

 the consideration being £1000. Between 1692 and 1705, the ownership of the 

 mills was in Samuel Carpenter, William Penn and Caleb Pusey.] 



[Accompanying Roggeveen's Dutch Map of New Netherland, a fac simile of a 

 part of which faces page 18, is a description of the country in French. The fol- 

 lowing is a translation of that description, so far as it relates to the Delaware 

 River and Bay.] 



" The west Cape of the South river of New Netherland (or the New Low Coun- 

 tries) is called Cape Hinlope and the East — Cape May; the name of which takes 

 its origin from Cornelius Jacob May, who was an experienced pilot on this coast 

 in the service of the West India Company, who raised a pillar to his memory in 

 the year 1623. 



"OF THE South River. 



" This River at the mouth near this Cape (May) is tolerably large and spacious 

 but interspersed with many shoals and sand banks such as to make the entrance near 

 Cape Hinloope, between the West Bank and the Bank of Brandywine, and when 

 thus made there is a great depth named the Hoere Kille. The entrance to this 

 river is very deep, the least is five fathoms till it begins to pass by the Island of 

 Hammen where it is not less than four fathoms, and at the corner, where is the 

 point of Collacke, there extends a sand bank across the river, where one finds it 

 five fathoms, and then it is found deeper after having passed the Island of Reden. 

 As soon as you pass this Island you also pass two little Ports or Castles, one of 

 which is named (that to the larboard) Fort Casimires, and that to the starboard 

 Fort Elsenbourg ; adjoining the Castle, one sees issue a creek or canal, called 

 Varcken's Kill, which is followed by another called Maratikus kill. The river 

 in this place as far as Christina is at least four fathoms deep. This country is 

 called Lapland, Avhcre the river is three fathoms deep which depth continues as 

 far as it is navigable to the country of the Sauno. 



" Ojjposite to Matymecough, lie "two little Isles, which are supported by a bank 

 of sand as far as Gottenburgh, then its course passes close to the Castle of 

 Nassau ; but if you would approach it near Gottenburgh about the Schuyl-kil, 

 1 do not know how to give you better advice. The properties and approaches 

 are known well enough, when you enter the river, being the same as they are so 

 naturally portrayed on the map you see, with all its shoals and depths. 



''There has fallen into my hands many maps describing this River, but I have 

 found them all vary — not one agreeing with another, but when I saw the demon- 

 stration of this figure, which so distinctly displays all its properties and ap- 

 proaches, I then proposed to myself to make you a participator, hoping it will 

 serve you as an easy and safe Pilot."
