Notes: In the name of God, Amen. “I, Ryer Michelsen, the elder, of the Manor of Fordham, in the County of Westchester, being now about four score years of age, and of sound and perfect memory.” It is my will that my 3 sons, Ryer, Hendrick, and Tunis Michelsen, shall have the use and benefit of all lands, meadows, rights, and privileges in Westchester County, until July 1, 1736, and then all my lands are to be sold “for the most that can possibly be got,” and each of my sons is to receive £18.
