I have a large collection of information on the Fonteyn/Vantine family
descended from Carel Fonteyn and Catharyn de Baile which I am happy to
share with any interested researchers.

Carel Fonteyn was one of the 14 Frenchmen who petitioned to settle in
Bushwick. Catharyn de Baile died in about 1707 and deed records indicate
that the Fonteyn land was divided among the surviving heirs. I am
interested in finding if the Fountain Inn which burned in the early
1800's was built on Fonteyn land or possibly even built or owned by
Fonteyns.

I would appreciate any suggestions for finding this information.
