Abraham Lackerman or Lakeman, born 1660. The family fled to Holland & landed in New Amsterdam Mar 19, 1663. From Manhattan he moved to Staten Island where there was an old Dutch - French church at Richmond is also known as St. Andrew's.

* Staten Island's Most Endangered Buildings: Lockman /Lakeman House:
Lakeman-Cortelyou House, 2286 Richmond Road between Bryant & Otis Avenues. This Dutch farmhouse built by Abraham Lakeman in 1678 is the second-oldest building in Staten Island. It is now owned & maintained by Moravian Florist. It has yet to be recognized by the Landmarks Preservation Commission, 2012. Lakeman house is a medium sized fieldstone building with one narrow door & one window & a smaller attached fieldstone attached building with one larger door & no windows. Currently it is has a wooden upper story on the larger building.
Very little information is out there about his building, except for a listing at Preserve & Protect, which calls this an 18th-Century building another says 1678. Richmond Road is a colonial-era road whose origins go back to, perhaps, the Native American period prior to colonization. Richmond Road opposite the Moravian Cemetery, New Dorp.
The house was going to be torn down to make room for newer structures, but in 1999 the Kirchoffer family hired a architect from the island named David Carnivale. So in 2001 the plans were set into action after researching the history of the home. Carnivale discovered that even though the house had major structure problems, it was surprisingly intact. He uncovered three 17th century fire places, beautiful paneling walls where uncovered that dated to the 17th century as well.
