The island remained uninhabited until the end of the eighteenth century. During the next sixty years, it acquired a minuscule permanent population, consisting of three or four families, an ordinary, and its first factories. According to an 1884 source, the earliest Barren Island resident was a man by the name of Dooley, who around 1800 built a house on the east end which he kept open for the entertainment of sportsmen and fishermen.

Wolfert Webber and Catalyntie Verbeeck appear before the court hoping for a settlement in a dispute over ownership of two bibles. One of Webbers's daughters was captured by the Indians (probably during the Second Dutch-Munsee War, aka the Peach War in 1655) and held captive, but apparently released. The Indians gave her two bibles which they apparently stole but rightfully belonged to Verbeeck. The court settles the dispute, recognizing Verbeeck's legal claim to the books, but requiring that she pay 5 guilders to Webber's daughter, who carried them around with her during her captivity.
