Abstracts of Wills Vol II 1708-1728, page 396: Page 67.
In ye Name of ye Lord, Amen. To all Christian People. Know ye that I, TEUNIS DEY, do make this my last will. My wife is to remain in full possession of all my estate, she maintaining the children. If she marries she is to have 1/2 and the children the rest, and an inventory is to be made. "And in the mean time the mother shall be bound to bring up the children and cause them to learn a trade to live by, as a pious mother for God's sake is bound to do." And my will is that there shall be a division of my estate among all my children without any prerogative of one above another. I make my wife executor, and my father in law John Schowten, tutor of my children.
Done in New York November 8, 1688. Witnesses, Lucas Stoutenburgh, P. De Lanoy.
Proved, December 18, 1688.
[NOTE.--Teunis Dey left 3 children: Jane, wife of Francis Ryerson; Sarah, wife of Hendrick Spier; and Dirck Dey.--W. S. P.]
