Introductory Note t^o^A
This, the third volume of Abstracts of Wills of New Jersey,
includes wills, administrations and guardianships from Jan. i,
1 75 1, to Dec. 3'i, 1760, a period of ten years. The matter was
mostly prepared many years ago. The Editor has had added by
another hand such omissions as were found by comparison
with the published "Index of Wills, Inventories," etc., but has
not personally made the Abstracts, and is not responsible for
their accuracy. He has simply made the text available for the
printer, as the Abstracts were not in the necessary technical
shape for that purpose. As the Abstracts have been made by
different persons employed, they are not always uniform in
style, but alike give the necessary facts.
For the information of the curious it may be stated that Bi-
bles, books and looking-glasses of that period, which have come
down in families, are now greatly prized by possessors, and it
is, doubtless, for that reason that these articles are so often
noted in the transcripts made of inventories, and sometimes in
wills.
The proper names of persons and places are believed to be
given as in the originals. This early period was one, however,
when names were spelled so indifferently that, in the case of
the surnames of persons in heavy boldface type, arranged al-
phabetically, the reader may have to consider various ways of
spelling in order to discover certain of the various surnames.
The Index does not repeat the surnames of those whose wills,
etc., are abstracted, except in the instances where alternative
spelHngs, in parentheses, are so extremely divergent from the
alphabetical arrangement that they may not be otherwise dis-
covered. Such alternative spellings, however, are not made by
the Editor but by the abstracters and are not always to be con-
sidered as correct.
The total number of wills, intestacies, etc., abstracted for
this volume is about 2400.
This publication is made possible by a Legislative appropria-
tion of 1923.

Calendar of New Jersey Wills
Note. — The books cited as Libers 1, 2, 3, etc., are of West Jersey
wills. Those cited as Libers A, B, C, etc.. are of East Jersey wills.
Where matters beside recorded wills, such as inventories, accounts,
etc., are noted, the originals may be found in the proper envelopes
(arranged by counties), reference to which is made in the volumes
(three volumes) entitled "Index to W^ills," published by the Secretary
of State in 1912 and 1913, which should always be consulted in case
originals are to be referred to. Where the chief matter is not of
record in books the envelope numbers are given herewith, although in
Bergen, Essex, Middlesex, and Monmouth counties, the original papers
are bound instead of being in envelopes. All original matters herein
abstracted are to be found in the Secretary of State's office at Trenton.

uel Stockton and Thomas Leonard, Jr., of said Co. Witness — Rich-

1, 1728, made a will and gave legacies to his son, and appointed Hen-

and Hendrick has refused to pay Benjamin his legacies.'
Somerset Wills, 1253 Q.
[In documents in the New Jersey Supreme Court, filed in 1758 and
1759, it appears that Andries Emans was of New Utrecht. L. I.; that
according to his will his executors were Hendrick, Rebecca and
Johannes Emans, John Vankirk and Teunis Polhemus; that his estate
was to have been divided, after the death of Rebecca, his widow,
among his children, Hendrick, Johannes, Andries, Benjamin, Jacobus,
Ann, Sarah — another child, Rebecca, died before a settlement, Benja-
min was single when his father died, but married later. Rebecca,
testator's widow, died about Nov. 15, 1755. Johannes and Sarah
had children, but were also deceased before 1759. Ann's husband
was Jaques Denys; perhaps she was also deceased in 1759, w^hen the
Court in New Jersey directed a settlement of the estate of legacies,
which Hendrick, as surviving Executor, still had in hand. An execu-
tion followed against Hendrick, who, like Benjamin, plaintiff in the
suit, resided at Six-Mile Run, Somerset Co., N. J.]
