Will, Abstract of

"DERRICK AMBERMAN, of Jamaica, Queens Co., yeoman, being in good health at present. I leave to my beloved son John £5, and my great Dutch Bible. To Margaret, my dearly beloved wife, the best bed and its furniture, all her wearing clothes, my cupboard and all the linnens that shall be therein and £30 a year during her widowhood or for life. The whole of my estate, real or personal, in Jamaica or elsewhere I empower my executors to make sale of and turn into money at the best advantage within a reasonable time after my decease, and the monies therefrom to be applied as follows: I give for the maintenance of my son Daniel £300, he to be maintained amongst my three children, and after his death what may be left thereof to be divided amongst my said children, namely, John, Derrick's heirs and Sarah. The rest of my estate I order to be divided into three parts, half one part to my son John, or if dead to his children, one part to the children of my son Derrick, deceased, one to my daughter Sarah, or if dead to her children, and one half part to my son Cornelius if at that time he be within the Kings lines, if not to his children when at lawful age. I appoint my trusty and loving brother Peter Amberman, of Kings County, my loving cousin, Peter Wickhoff, of Flat Lands, Kings County, and my friend and cousin, Peter Amerman, at Staten Island, executors, allowing them reasonable satisfaction for their trouble. Dated March 19, 1781. Wits.: Simon Lamberson, Nathaniel Box, of Jamaica, yeoman; Bernardus Lamberson. Proved, New York, April 12, 1784. ^[1]
