| 426 | Johannes was a benign Walloon, a medical doctor who was well liked by everyone. A tract of 100 morgens (200 acres), extending from the present 109th Street to about 124th Street, New York City, was patented to Adries Hudde July 20, 1638. The tract was originally known as Muscota, and had been granted by the council of New Netherland to Hendrick de Forest during his first visit to New Netherland in 1632, subject to the approval of the directors of the West India Company. De Forest applied on Sept. 11, 1636, to the Amsterdam chamber for a confirmation of the grant and the following month sailed for the second time to New Netherland as mate of the ship "Rensselaerswyck" apparently without having received the confirmation. On his arrival at Manhattan, March 1637, De Forest made arrangements to have the land cleared and a house built, but he died July 26, 1637, leaving the plantation in charge of his brother-in-law, Johannes Le Montagne. Le Montagne remained in charge until June 22, 1638. In September of that year he brought suit against Domine Bogardus, who had a power of attorney from the widow of Hendrick de Forest to look after the property for the recovery of certain moneys expended at the plantation. Court proceedings ordered that the plantation should be sold at auction for the benefit of the widow, and that from the proceeds La Montagne should be paid his claim. The auction was held October 7th and Le Montagne purchased the property for 1800 guilders. Meanwhile, Andries Hudde, possibly with the consent of Domine Bogardus, secured a patent for the plantation and had gone to Holland, where early in 1639, at Amsterdam, he married Geertruyt Bornstra, the widow of Hendrick De Forest. Hudde returned with his wife to New Amsterdam in July 1639, and the next year entered with La Montagne into an agreement regarding their respective claims. Le Montagne ended up possessing the property and named the property "Vrendendael." Johannes was appointed to the Council to assist Governor Kieft. When Peter Suyvesant replaced Governor William Kieft, Johannes remained one of the Council members to assist Governor Stuyvesant. July 18, 1647. Mr. Johannes La Montangne appeared in council and requested permission to marry Angeneta Gillis (van) Waert, widow of the late Arent Corsen. "As we have sufficiently assured that he perished and the honorable directors themselves write that they have made inquiries about the aforesaid Arent Corsen and have learned nothing of him; therefore, as the above named La Montangne and she, Anganeta, declare that they have no scruples about it, they are permitted to enter into the married state with each other."

Two years after, a royal patent dated June 2, 1688 was granted by His Excellency Thomas Dongan, Governor of the province of New York, under the name of Manor of Kipsburgh, in confirmation of the Indian title. One fifth part of the manor was afterward sold to Colonel Henry Beekman, through whose grandaughter, the mother of Chancellor Livingston, it passed into the Livingston family. Jacob Kip filed suit against Hendrick Hendricksen, demanding delivery of 10 shepens of barley or payment of 30 fl., pleading for his seizure.
