- PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: 18.6 cu. ft. (40 volumes)
- ARRANGEMENT: Chronological by recording date.
- ABSTRACT: J0043-92: This series is a record of wills, grants of administration, and (prior to ca. 1710) inventories and accounts of decedent estates. These documents were recorded and maintained by the provincial secretary or a deputy, who served as register of the New York Colony Prerogative Court (ending 1783) and by the clerk of the New York State Court of Probates (commencing 1778). (The Prerogative Court continued to function in British-occupied New York until the end of the Revolutionary War.)
- ABSTRACT: J0043-92: Each will provides for the disposition of the testator's real and personal property and designates an executor or executrix. The will is witnessed by two or three persons. Accompanying each recorded will is the probate, or grant of administration. This usually takes the form of a grant of authority by the governor, his delegate, or a local court to the executor, to take an inventory of the decedent's real and personal property and to make an accounting of the assets and present it to the court. Many of the wills were made by widows, and some of the executors were women. Some of the wills bequeath slaves. The record books (particularly before 1700) contain a significant number of Dutch wills, sometimes giving both Dutch and English versions, sometimes only a translation. There are also a few records of nuncupative or oral wills, later reduced to writing by the witnesses; and holograph wills (i.e. a will prepared in the hand of a decedent, without witnesses).
- ABSTRACT: J0043-92: Other probate documents recorded in these volumes include inventories of real and personal property (almost all dating prior to 1710); letters of administration; final discharges (sometimes in the form of a certificate of quietus) issued to executors upon final settlement of an estate; a few scattered orders; and letters testamentary (after 1778 only).
- ABSTRACT: J0043-92: Volumes/libers dating before 1700 contain other records besides probate documents, as follows: Miscellaneous proceedings of the governor and council, ca. 1665-68, including the act for confiscating property of subjects of the Estates of Holland, 1665; admiralty and court-martial proceedings; sentences in criminal proceedings; and a petititon for return of slaves belonging to the Dutch West India Company; minutes of court of vice-admiralty, 1683; transcripts of English documents relating to Trinity Church and its rector, William Vesey; Governor's orders and certificates of induction of rectors to several Episcopal parishes in Westchester and Queens Counties; records of marriage licenses, ca. 1694-1702 (found in libers 2 and 5); minutes of court of sessions held in Queens County, 1689/9;
- ABSTRACT: J0043-92: proceedings of New York City mayor's court, ca. 1677-82, mostly records of civil complaints; also a few petitions, orders, letters of attorney, and commercial contracts; reports of coroner's inquests, New York City, 1680-84; miscellaneous orders and proceedings of New York City mayor and aldermen, 1680-82; copy of governor's order fining coopers and shoemakers for engaging in an "illegall combinaçion" (i.e. trade union), 1682 (lists names of persons fined);proceedings in attachment by New York County sheriff of 38 slaves from Angola, taken from ship Providence of London, bound for Nevis, 1683; volumes/libers of the Prerogative Court dating from the period 1776-80 contain (in addition to probate records) scattered records of civil appointments and commissions by Governor William Tryon; and a few records of deeds and mortgages.
- NOTES: J0043-92: The wills recorded in these volumes were proved (i.e. determined to be authentic) and admitted to probate by a court or magistrate vested with jurisdiction in probate matters. Between 1665 and 1686 wills were proved before a local court of sessions, the mayor's court in New York City, the governor, or, infrequently, the Court of Assizes. After 1686 the royal governor possessed final jurisdiction in probate matters. An Assembly act of 1692 authorized the governor to appoint delegates (usually called "surrogates") to take proof of wills and to grant probate and administration. Besides a principal surrogate, deputy surrogates were eventually appointed in each county. The 1692 act required that wills from New York, Kings, Richmond, Westchester, and Orange Counties be proved before the governor or his delegate.
- NOTES: J0043-92: The act also authorized the courts of common pleas in the other, "remote" counties to take proof of wills, administer oaths, and transmit the wills and proceedings to the Prerogative Court for probate and recording. The courts of common pleas in the "remote" counties were empowered to grant probate of wills for estates valued at £50 or less. (In 1750 Orange County was designated a "remote" county.) After 1778 probate and administration were granted by the judge of the Court of Probates or by the county surrogate.
- PROVENANCE NOTE: J0043-92: Series was transferred from the New York County Surrogate Court to the Historical Documents Collection, Queens College, City University of New York, in the 1960s. The series was transferred to Queens Borough Public Library in the late 1980s.
- FINDING AIDS: J0043-92: All but two volumes contain contemporary and/or later indexes to testators. (Some of the contemporary indexes also list executors, who are termed "administrators.") In addition, the series is indexed in the following: 1) series J2043-92 Index to Record of Wills and Probates; 2) Ray C. Sawyer, "Index of New York State Wills, 1662-1850, on File at the Office of the Surrogate for New York County," 2 vols. (typescript, 1931-32); 3) William H. Pelletreau, comp., "Abstracts of Wills on File in the Surrogate's Office, City [i.e. County] of New York, 1665-1800," Collections of The New-York Historical Society, 25-34 (1892-1901), 36 (1903), 40-41 (1907-08) (includes abstracts and indexes of both probate and non-probate documents);
- FINDING AIDS: J0043-92(con.):4) marriage licenses are abstracted and indexed by Kenneth Scott in New York Marriages Previous to 1784; A Reprint of the Original Edition of 1860 with Additions and Corrections (Baltimore: 1984), pp. 573-618; 5) estate inventories are indexed by name of decedent in Kenneth Scott, "Early New York Inventories of Estates," National Genealogical Society Quarterly, 53 (1965), 133-38.
- ASSOCIATED MATERIALS: Series J0038, Probated wills, 1658-1823, contains related documents.
- LEGAL CITATIONS: A 1670 ordinance of the Court of Assizes required that all wills and grants of administration be recorded in the provincial secretary's office in New York City. L. 1692, Ch. 27, excepted from this requirement wills for estates valued at less than £50, and located in the "remote" counties. An ordinance of 1693 set fees of the Prerogative Court, confirming the practice of recording wills in the secretary's office. L. 1778, Ch. 12 established the Court of Probates and vested it with the authority and jurisdiction of the Prerogative Court. L. 1684, Ch. 10, authorized the governor to issue marriage licenses. L. 1799, Ch. 64, transferred custody of this series from the Court of Probates to the Surrogate Court (New York County).
