Full Stokes Entry (See images below)
The lot No. 92 Broad Street was at the date of the Plan the property of Symon Jansen Romeyn, whose name is also spelled Romein and Romaine.
In his shop, facing the canal, near the corner of the Brewers Street, he dealt as a mercer, selling silks, linens, galloon, lace, stockings, and buttons. — Rec. N. Am., Ill: 316. In 1661, two young women committed a serious offence upon the mercer — shoplifting — whereby five or six pairs of stockings and some galloon were taken and sold to Jurrien, the goldsmith, Cornelis Langevelt, and other neighbours, who returned them, and the girls were brought before the magistrates. Being confined in the jail at the Stadt Huys, they were at first sentenced to be whipped and banished; they were threatened also with the pillory; but more moderate counsels prevailing, Neeltje, the greater culprit, was banished for eight years, and Annetje excused. — Ibid., Ill: 316, 326-8.
Romaine was sworn as a constable in 1680. — M. C. C, I: 75. His house on Broad Street was a corner boundary of the South Ward in 1683. — Ibid., I: 112.
