The dissolution of the community ownership of the lands of the patent was accomplished by an eight party deed of its owners on February 13th, 1768, when Captain Johannas Westbrook, Peter Gemare, Benjamin Cuddeback and William Cuddeback, Geradus Van Inwegen, Benjamin Depuy, Jacob Rutsen DeWitt, Abraham Cuddeback and Phillipus Swartwout, as joint-owners of the 1200 acre patent, deeded to each of their assignes, as individuals, their holdings.

and also for 12 acres of land with all edifices, barns, barracks, fencing and implements.

No record is found that either John Tyse or David Jamison lived in the valley. It is believed that Tyse was an older man and was a resident of Oesopus where records show the baptism of three of his children about 1680.

David Jamison became the attorney general of the Province of New York in 1720.

Thomas and Bernardus Swartwout removed down the Delaware valley into New Jersey at Smithfield or Walpack, where many of their descendants have continued to live, and today are quite numerous. Some have changed the spelling to Swartwood. Anthony Swartwout died about 1700. His widow with her children and second husband, Harmonas Van Inwegen, continued to live on the lands of the patent.

For more than thirty years, the patriarch of Peenpack, Jacob Caudebec was the sole remaining one of the original patentees to continue to live on the patent and in the Meckheckemeck settlement. His fellow countryman and refugee, Peter Gumaer, died previous to 1732. His will dated September 24th, 1726, was probated at Kingston, N.Y., October 4th, 1732.
