The Van Zyle tract, a lot of 145 acres (over 1000 feet wide running east and
west; 6600 feet long, running north and south) was located running from what is
now the Wortendyke section of Midland Park northerly into Wyckoff (Godwin Avenue
was later laid out running through its center). It was sold by deed made 18
March 1712/13 by John Barbarie, Andrew Fresneau, and Peter Fauconnier, to
Johannis Van Zeyl for £45. The tract was subsequently divided into 3 equal
parts, and the north third of the land was inherited by John Van Zeyl, Junior,
who sold it, on 5 May 1762 to Hendrick Messeker (Masker).
