On this day, being the 25 of February, 1689, appeared before me Jan Tibout, Clerk, admitted by the Mayors Court and residing in the town of New Harlem, and in the presence of the witnesses hereafter named. The worthy Cornelis Jansen, sick in body, lying on his bed, but in the full exercise and use of his understanding. He appoints after his decease, his lawful wife Meetye Bastianse, the guardian over all his estate until she shall marry, and then she shall be bound to give to her eldest son, Jan Cornelisen, preferable to the others, the lot of land at Jochem Pietersens, to wit, the lot by the great gate. Also the best horse, the best saddle, and the best boots, and the best pistols and holsters, and carbine, and then he shall share with the other brothers and sisters. And Daniel Devoor is to have a cow for his daughter, Meetie Daniels, when she is of age. And Jan Cornelis is to have a cutlass with his share of goods. This passed in the presence of Adolph Meyer, Constable, Johanes Cornelis, overseer, and Jacob Turneur, in my presence. Jan Tibout, Clerk. Proved, March 18, 170 5/6.
