So far as records showhe was the first white man to sight thatpart of New Jersey. The advent ofHenry Hudson, in the Half Moon, someeigthy-five years later, is also closelyassociated with local history of thatperiod. In such archives is told thestory of the fatal encounter of fiveof the Dutch adventurers sailors witha band of redskins who resented thewhites invasion of Kill von Kull, aswell as of the friendly trading of thenatives from Weehawken to BergenPoint with the crew of explorers ves-sels. These natives formed a tribe ofIndians called the Raritans, and theyfound splendid hunting grounds in thedense forest that then covered this pen-insula. In 1646, the first grant ofland in what is now the Bayonne sec-tion of which there is any record, wasmade by the authorities of New Nether-land to one Jacob Jacobsen Roy, a. Dutch gunner in Fort was for the present site of Consta-bles Hook. Subsequently patentswere issued for land both north andsouth of the Roy tract and a consider-able settlement grew up. But in lessthan a year these Dutch colonists weremassacred from Hoboken to BergenPoint by Indians who had crossed fromNew Amsterdam, after murdering andpillaging among the peaceful Hollandpioneers. There is nothing authenticto indicate the exact date when theseburghers ventured to reclaim theirland along Bergen Neck, but it wasprobably subsequent to January, 301658. On that date the Indians for-mally conveyed this land to the Dutch,which laid the way for the final set-tling of the colony.
