Release by Harmen Smeeman of claims against the estate of Cornelis Maersen on account of the purchase of a tract on Manhattan
Marmen Smeman, as husband and guardian of Lysbet Dircksz and consequently heir of Volckert Evertsen, her deceased son, declared and acknowledged that he was fully satisfied and paid by the late Cornelis Maertsen for the purchase of a certain tract of land situated near the honorable Mr. Twiller's farm, which was bought by the late Cornelis Maertsen from the late Volckert Eversz. I therefore release the above named Cornelis Maertsen, deceased, his heirs, or their guardians, from any future claim which may be made by me or any other of Volckert Evertsen's heirs. In token of the truth this is signed by me, this 3d. of June A° 1649, in New Amsterdam.
