886. Stephen van Cortlandt to Sir Edmund Andros.... The French and Indians since your departure have again destroyed some people to the eastward of Boston, have burned Senectady, and taken twenty-eight prisoners. A party of Indians and young men followed the French, overtook them, killed some and took others. The French Indians have lately killed over ten people at Conestagione, which has alarmed the whole country and driven people from their plantations. Most of the Albany women are at New York. Leisler has pressed Depeyster's brigantine and a Bermudian ship, which are to accompany the expedition to Quebec ; and the men at Albany, with others from the other Colonies and 1500 Maquas, are to attack Canada by land.

[1] He married a daughter of Pieter Adriaensen Soogemackelyck, by whom he had several children who are entered in the records of the Reformed Dutch churches of Albany and New York under the name of Roll, variously spelled Rol, Rall, Ral, and Raal. March 4, 1681/2, Jan Mangelsen received from the Indians a gift of land at Canastagione, now Niskayuna, for which he sought to obtain a patent in 1703. He died before September 4, 1705, when his son Mangel Jansen Roll and wife Antie sold to Ryer Schermerhoorn three morgens of land at Niskayuna which Jan Mangelsen had obtained from Claes Jansen van Bockhoven, under a contract of sale of January 14, 1672/3, together with certain rights in land to the rear thereof which said Claes Jansen purchased from the Indians on March 4, 1681/2, and in which Jan Mangelsen had a share. On April 2, 1713, the heirs of Jan Mangelsen presented to the governor and council a petition for a patent for the land at Niskayuna, but apparently no action was taken.
