    Lysbet Cornells, widow of Gerrit Hendricksen van Hardenwyck, coming in is asked, whether she and her late husband had made a testament. She answers, that on the day before his death she had asked her husband, whether he did not intend to leave something to her or to his children, whereupon he said, it was not necessary, as the property of their mother [Ytie Jans] was settled on the children and if there were a surplus, she and the children should share equally. As upon the death of said Gerrlt Hendricksen's first wife Hendrlck Hendricksen Ode and Pieter van Couwenhoven have been made guardians of the children, they are now continued.

    [See Court Proceeding of 17 Oct 1659, appearance of Gerrit Hendrickszen. There is some ambiguity in the phrase "to her or to his children" possibly meaning "her children" and "his children" but this is not likely. The guardians "continued" were those appointed for Gerrit's children only. VWH]

  7. [S1344] Howard S. F. Randolph, "Tryntje Jacobs and Her Four Husbands", p. 266, citing N. Y. Hist. Soc. Coll. 1892-280. "In 1688 they made a joint will before Claas Arentsen Tours in Bergen, N. J., “testator sicke in body and the testatrix in health going and standing.” In this will they mention the testator’s sister Geesie Gerrits; Antie Jans, daughter of Jan Dircksen Stratenmaker and Geesje Gerrits; Elizabeth Ottose, daughter of Otto Gerritsen (Elizabeth Cornelis’ step-son) and Engeltie Pieterse; and the children of the testator’s sister Janettie Gerritse, “seven in number,” namely, Johannes, Gerritse, Antie, Christofells, Urselina, Mary and Benjamin Stymetts. This list of the children of Caspar Steynmets is most interesting, as it does not include Altje (No. 5 ), or Caspar (No. 9), who had probably died, and it calls Joanna (No. 11) “Mary.” But in spite of his illness Guert lived on until Feb. 28, 1697, and his widow died Jan. 24, 1707.
