What reading level is Hendrick Rycken the Progenitor of the Suydam Family in America book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Miller : " Wampum, or Seewant (the first so called by the Eng- lish and the last by the Dutch) continued to constitute the common currency of this country long after it ceased to belong to the Dutch. In 1673 there was little or no certain coin in the government. Wampum passed for current payment in all cases. " If wampum was used in 1681, it was most likely the medium of exchange in 1677 — an earlier period.
An interesting question arises as to the purchas- ing power of 5000 guilders then as co...mpared with the same at the present time.
We come now to speak of Hendrick Rycken as a permanent resident of Flatbush ; for this was his home for twenty-two years — or from 1679 until he died in 1701.
On page 293, vol. Ii. , of The Docume^itary His- tory of New York, we find that Rycken was taxed for 38 acres of land, 4 horses, and 13 cows. The land was rated at £2 an acre ; the horses from £1 to ^8, according to age ; and the cattle from £ i to ^5 ; the tax was a penny a pound.
This was in 1683, four years after his removal from New York, and two years after he sold his New York property.
