Individual Details
Johannes "Joannes" Spoor Jr.
(Abt 1676 - Abt 1745)
From WikiTree Spoor-86:
One courageous Dutch settler, Johannes Spoor, acquired land in the Housatonic River Valley from the Indians and built log huts by what is now called Glen Brook as early as 1691. He didn't stay long, returning to his homestead in Coxsackie, New York, to continue his wheelwright and leather working trade. His cabin may have been the first built in Berkshire County. In 1724, the land of Sheffield was purchased from a man named Konkapot and twenty other Indians for four hundred and sixty pounds, three barrels of cider, and 30 quarts of rum. Captain John Ashley and Captain Ebenezer Pomroy were sent by the settling committee to survey and lay out lots of land. The town of Sheffield was incorporated on June 22, 1733.
