Will

In his will, he wrote: ...I, Peter Van Deursen, of NewYork, Tallow chandler. I charge my whole estate with the payment of debts and funeral charges. I leave to my wife Mary all my household furniture. "I leave to my eldest son Peter my silver hilted sword, in bar of anything he may pretend to claim as heir at law." I leave all the rest to my wife so long as she continues my widow, in order to support herself and bring up my children, and she has power to sell my negro slaves. If she marries, I direct all my estate to be sold at public or private sale, as my executors may think fit. From the proceeds, I leave to my wife £200, and the rest to my children, Lucretia, wife of RobertWatts, Peter, Mary, Ann, Hester,William, and my daughter Eddy [Edith?], to be paid when my youngest child is of age. If any of my children marry, they are to have £50 on the day of their marriage. I make my wife executor.

Dated October 16, 1762.
