Wayne,

Yes, Abraham Kip was the son of Jacob Kip & Rachel Swarthout. He was bpt
at Kingston on 24 Jun 1714 (Sp: Johannes Rutsz. Catryntjen Beekman)
[Hoes B# 2197]

He married Elsje Pruyn 20 Jun 1744 at the Albany DRC:
[June 20. L. Abraham Kip, y.m., and Elsje Pruyn, y.d.]

Elsje was bpt at Albany on 14 Feb 1714 [Elsie, of Joannes and Amilia
Pruym. Wit.: Gerrit Roseboom, Elyzabeth Vischer.], the daughter of
Johannes Pruyn and Amelia Sanders.

I show the following children for this couple:

Isack Kip Amilia Sandersen (Rhinebeck DRC)

wife, Eva Kip {Rhinebeck DRC)
4. 1748 Sep 26; Abraham Kip, Elsje Bruim; Jacob; Jacob R. Kip, Elisabeth

Abraham's sister Eva Kip was married to Gerrit Barentszen Van Wagenen,
and is the other 'brother-in-law' (along with Johannes Pruyn) mentioned
in the will.

Abraham's sister Maria was married to Jan Van Benthuysen. They appear as
baptisman sponsors along with Eva Kip & Gerrit Van Wagenen.

> Page 385.--In the name of God, Amen. I, ABRAHAM KIP, of Rhinebeck Precinct, in Duchess County, yeoman, being weak in body. I leave to my son Jacob my Great Bible and my gun. All the rest of my estate, real and personal, I leave to my son, Jacob Kip, and my daughter, Anilia Kip, to be divided when my son Jacob is of age. If they die, then the estate to go to my brothers and sisters [not named]. My executors are to rent out my house and farm and lands, "and also the Ferry across Hudsons river," to a good husbandman that will keep the same in good order, "and also that always a good Ferry boat and proper attendance be kept agreeable to the Patent granted for said ferry." All household stuff, horses, cattle, etc., are to be sold at public vendue and the money put at interest, "to sure persons, or for building a storehouse." "And as my servant and negro slaves have behaved faithful and
> obedient, it is my will that my servant, during the time limited by his indenture, and my negroes, Peggy and Robin, shall be hired to some honest persons, as they shall like best, and if possible that `Peggy and Robin' may be both at one house, and my old wench `Bett' shall have liberty to choose any good family that will take and keep her for victuals and clothes." My wench "Diana" I would have to live in the family where my children live. "Lastly, I beg the favor of my dear mother in law and my brother in law, Johanes Pruyn, to take my children into their house and under their special care, and not to let them want for victuals and clothes, and they are to be paid what is customary." I make my loving brothers in law, Johanes Pruyn and Gerritt Van Wagenan, and my cousin, Jacob Johan Kip, executors.
