    • Emily Stowell writes, in her historical novel AMERICAN NOMADS, that Adrian Jans "came to Draedvadt in 1657 (when the) Indian troubles had just hotted up...Governor Stuyvesant sent (Adrian) to help move the scattered settlers' houses into the village and help put up the palisades. He was a house carpenter...(during the warfare with the Esopus tribe, the tribe) ambushed the soldiers and settlers down by the ball court near the Strand, collected the ransom for their prisoners, then tortured and killed seven of them....Adrien was one of the sorry seven. Burned alive like the rest..." (Stowell, p 78).
