A patroon could create civil and criminal Court s, appoint local officials and hold land in perpetuity, but in return would be obliged to establish a settlement of at least 50 persons within four years. Settlers on the patroon's estate were relieved of the duty of public Tax es for ten years, but were required to pay the patroon in money, goods, or services in kind. The largest and the one only truly successful patroonship in New Netherland was Rensselaerwyck , established by Kiliaen Van Rensselaer . Rensselaerwyck covered almost all of present-day Albany and Rensselaer counties and parts of present-day Columbia and Greene counties in New York State . Albany has a CBA Basketball team called the Patroons, once coached by NBA legend Phil Jackson . EXTERNAL LINKS
