I, JOHN STRYKER, of Flatbush, in Kings County, being weak in body. After all debts are paid, I leave to my son Peter my silver-hilted sword for his Birth right before any division. I leave to my youngest son Michel my Great Dutch Bible, "which heretofore belonged to his grandfather, Michel Hanse Bergen." Also all my farming tools and all my real estate, wherever situated, "except 7 acres in Flatbush, being the place where my grandfather, Jan Stryker, deceased, lived, bounded west by the street, south by Dominicus Vanderveer, north by the School Pasture, and east to be bounded by a line drawn from the School Pasture to said Dominicus Vanderveer's orchard, the same course with the most easterly line of said School Pasture." And he shall pay to my executors o400 for my 10 children, viz.: Peter, Johanes, Antye, Magdalena, Abraham, Sammetye, Jacobus, Margaritie, Michel, and Femitie "each one just tenth," and to be paid in three years. And 3 years later he shall pay o400 to said children. I also leave to my son Michel all my right in the Flatbush Patent in the undivided lands conveyed to me by my father Peter Stryker, November 16, 1738. Also 1/2 of cattle and horses and my weaving loom. The lot reserved above I leave to my children, also all the rest of my real estate. And whereas my slaves have faithfully served me they shall have the choice of which of my children they will live with. I make my son Michel, and my brother, Peter Stryker, and Cornelius Vanderveer, executors. Witnesses, Peter Stryker, Jr., Geritt Stryker, Petrus Van Steenbergh, schoolmaster.
