I leave to my son James, a brown pacing mare. To my son Benjamin, a sorrel horse. To my son Thomas, a sorrel mare. I leave to Sarah, daughter of Dorothy Wilson, a cow and a bed, if she stays or tarries out her time. I leave all the rest of my personal property to my daughters, Sarah, wife of Samuel Veal, Hannah, wife of Moses Mollener, and my daughter, Mary Farrington, who is to have œ15 above her sisters.

The only month name I see in this profile is from his will, which gave the name of the month (not a number).
I'm not proficient enough to find that source, but the person who wrote the bio for the Find a Grave entry appears to have had access to that death register or have found a source with that access..
This profile is slotted in the New Netherland Project for reasons of history and geography, and there are some genealogically important interactions between New Netherlanders and the English settlers on Long Island, but overall the New Netherland Project is utterly unsuited for researching the Quaker communities and other English-speaking communities of early Long Island. Questions like yours are a major reason why I keep hoping that volunteers will emerge to focus on English-speaking communities of colonial Long Island.
