Before me, Cornelis van Tienhoven, secretary of New Netherland, appeared Catalyntje van Strassel, widow of the late Jan Jansen van Ilpendam, and acknowledged that she had received and obtained from Hendrick Hendricksz Kip the sum of seventy-nine guilders, sixteen stivers, an account whereof the aforesaid Ilpendam, deceased, in his lifetime received; which sum the said Catalyntje van Strassel promises to pay, or that it shall be satisfied and paid out of her and her deceased husband’s goods and effects, binding and specially mortgaging to that end all her property and the estate of the aforesaid Ilpendam, together with what may accrue to him or to her, Catalyntje van Strassel, elsewhere by will or inheritance, out of which he, Hendrick, may at all times seek to indemnify himself; submitting the same to all courts. Thus done st the house of Isaac de Forest in New Amsterdam, in the presence of Mr. Adriaen de Keyser, commissary, Piter Antony and Isaac de Forest, witnesses, who have signed the original hereof in the record with Catalyntje van Strassel, the 19th of August anno 1647, in New Netherland.
