- Ryck Abramsen adopted the name of Lent and became the ancestor of the
family of that name. He moved to Westchester County, New York, and was
one of the original patentees of the famous Ryck's patent.
Per J. Thomas Scharf's HISTORY OF WESTCHESTER COUNTY: (1884??)
(From World Family Tree, Vol. 13, Tree 439)
Ryck Abramsen Lent, eldest son of Abraham Rycken, married Catrina,
daughter of Harek (Hercules) Siboutsen, and in 1685, with others,
purchased of the Indians an extensive tract of land, north of
Cortlandt, called Sachus. He settled upon this tract which then took
the name of Ryck's Patent. The royal patent confirming this purchase
was issued December 23, 1685.
It is commonly known as "Ryck's Patent", a contraction of "Ryck
Abramson's Patent".
He served as an elder in the Sleepy Hollow Church, was much respected,
and died at a good old age.
December 29, 1729 a deed between Hercules Lent, son of Ryck Abramson
Lent (the Richard Abramson of the Ryck's Patent), and Jacob Lent of
the first part, Sybout Harche (Hercules) Kranckhyte of the second
part, and Hercules Johnse Kranckhyte and Jacobus Kranckyte of the
third part recites details of a partition.
(Hercules Lent by a deed dated Feb. 27, 1733 purchased from Hercules
Sybout Kranckhyte one half of the tract of 300 acres which had been
granted in severalty to Sybout Harche Kranckhyte, etc., etc.)

Judick's Island, and to a certain parcel of land lying opposite to it

bequeath the said Island and piece of land to my eldest son, Abraham
Lent, provided he recover the same at his own charge. I also leave to
my son Abraham my fowling piece, being the old gun I formerly employed
for my own use, and which I give to my said son, in full of his
pretensions, and claim to my estate as heir at law. I leave to my son
Harek Lent, all my lands, meadows, and tenements, lying and being in

give security to the Governor of this Province, for the payment of
these legacies. As for the rest of my estate, my executors are to
divide it into six parts and divide the same among my children, and
the children of my deceased children. I make my sons, Abraham and
