Thanks, Ethel. I will see what they have at the archives when I am there tomorrow. ETHELKK@aol.com wrote: Barbara, I quoted the entire article. 24 July 1672. "On this day was the Will & Testament made betwixt Abram Verplanck and his late Wife Maria Vinge bearing date the 9th of August 1670 and made by Notary Dirck van Schelluyne, Proved and allowed of in Court." [RNA Vol.6:339] Please note. The name Vigne is spelled Vinge in the will.

Ethel ================================== In a message dated 3/6/2007 barbarademare@yahoo.com writes: Ethel, In what court was the will probated? What you quoted just says "the Court." If it is New York I am going there tomorrow, but if memory serves me right it would have been in Albany. I have to probate a will in New York County, so will stay and research the rest of the day (the probate records are one floor beneath the probate office). As these are also my direct ancestors, I would love to get the will. Barbara ETHELKK@aol.com wrote: Need joint will of Abraham Isaacsz Verplanck and Maria Vigne.
