Liber 15, page 539. CORNELIUS WYCKOFF, who married GEERTJE (GERTIE) VAN
ARSDALEN
In the name of God, Amen, April 4, 1726. I, Cornelius Wyckoff, of
Flatlands, being in good health. I leave to my wife Gertie all my real and
personal estate for life, but if she marry, then she shall give all to my
two sons, Nicholas and Hendrick, to enjoy the same, as it is set forth in
certain deeds of sales made by me to them, and my two sons have given bonds
to me, in the sum of 650 pounds, by which each of them is to pay to their
brothers and sisters, viz., Simon, Jacob, John, Petrus, Mary, Margaret,
Petrella, and Hannah, each 3 pounds, within a year after my wife's decease.
If my wife marries they are to pay her 30 pounds, for her maintainance. I
leave to my son Simon a silver tankard, for his birthright. I leave to my
son Hendrick a silver mug. All the rest of my estate is left to my 10
children after the death of my wife. I make my son-in-law, Hendrick
Eldertson, executor.
Witnesses, Jacobus Stryker, Jan Van Arsdalen, S. Geritsen. Proved, May
10, 1746.
