Before me, Cornelis van Tienhoven, secretary of New Netherland, appeared Catalyntje van Straessel, who in the presence of the undersigned witnesses acknowledged that during the lifetime of her husband, Jan Jansen Ilpendam, deceased, she had duly received from Jan Snediger in goods and cash the sum of seven hundred and seventy guilders, fifteen stivers, which said sum she, Catalyntje van Strassel, declares and promises shall be tendered and paid, free of costs and charges, by her or her heirs, out of her, the appearer’s, property and the estate of the late Jansen Ilpendam, her deceased husband, or out of all such goods and effects as may accrue to her or her deceased husband elsewhere by inheritance, descent or will. For greater security the above named Catalyntje Strassel binds and specially mortgages all her property and the estate of her deceased husband, together with all such goods and effects as are due to her or her deceased husband anywhere by will, inheritance or descent. Thus done in the presence of Mr. Adriaen de Keyser, commissary, Piter Antony and Isaac de Foreest, witnesses hereto invited, the 19th of August 1647, in Fort Amsterdam in New Netherland.
