On Fulton street at Hoyt street, there was established in later years the village cemetery, possibly succeeding native in- terments in favorable soil. The path here swerved slightly to the west toward the cemetery site. The Dutch Church was built on the east side of the line of the trail, and then the highway was opened on its eastern side, making the church plot an "island between two parts of the road." There was another station in the vicinity of old Brooklyn of which more definite record is available.

It is that which was known as Werpos (67) or Worpus, a name similar to that of the Manhattan village at the Kalch Hoek. Its position seems to have been in the immediate vicinity of the old dwelling of Fredrick Lubbersen, which was situated at Warren and Hoyt streets, in the old Tenth ward of Brooklyn. This dwelling was erected at the head of the branch of Gowanus creek which penetrated nearest to the village of Marechkawick and to the early white settlement which became its successor.
