Abstracts of Unrecorded Wills, Vol XI, Prior to 1790, pages 171 & 172:

(Written in Dutch language.) In the name of God, Amen. In the year after the
birth of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, 1687, the 27 day of March,
Appeared before me Jacobus Vandewater, Notary Public, admitted in the village
of Breucklin, in Kings County. The worthy Mr. WILLAM HUYCKEN, and his wife,
ANNATTIE WILLJOER, married people, known to me, and living at the Gowanus,
both being in bodily health, going and standing. They leave their dead bodies
to their heirs for a decent burial. They appoint as their universal heir the
survivor or longest liver of the two, as to all real estate, cattle, goods,
etc., without being obliged to give any account, and all personal estate,
cattle, silver, gold, coined or uncoined. And after the death of both, then
to their children, Machtel, Maria, Annettie, Gertruy, Catharina, and
Elizabeth, and such further children as they may have. Excepting Gertruy, who
is not in the possession of her senses, and she shall have a double portion.
The real estate is not to be divided until all of the children are of age.
Desiring no Courts to meddle with their estate, but thanking them for the
trouble they may be willing to take. The party living the longest is to
appoint guardians. This being plainly read to them, is their last will.

Witnesses, Jan Jansen, Hendrick Sleght. At the house of the testators. (No
Probate.)--See Volume I, page 231, of this series.
