Van Rensselaer lease records

This summary of Van Rensselaer leases records was compiled many years ago by Bertha Mattuck from Van Rensselaer Manor records at the NYS Archives. It may be incomplete due to missing records at the Archives. It is organized by lot number, which generally corresponds with the grid number on the Beers 1866 map of Berne, which was based on the original 1787 Van Rensselaer survey. The earliest known leases were in 1784, before the land was surveyed.
