The Joint Will and Testament of Juriaen Blanck and Tryntie Klaessen, as found in the source below.

Berthold Fernow, Minutes of the Orphanmasters Court of New Amsterdam, 1655-1663, Minutes of the Executive Boards of the Burgomasters of New Amsterdam and The Records of Walewyn van der Veen, Notary Public, 1662-1664; Francis P. Harper, New York, 1907, pp. 19-23.

In the Name of God! On the 21st of August in the year 1662 after the birth of our Saviour Jesus Christus at about 9 o.c. in the evening appeared before me, Walewyn van der Veen, Notary Public etc. etc., the worthy Juriaen Blanck and the honest Tryntie Klaessen, husband and wife, to me well known, both in possession of their reason, memory and power of speech, as they proved to us, the Notary and witnesses. Considering the shortness of human life, the certainty of death and the uncertain hour thereof and wishing to anticipate it by proper provision, they declare, that well advisedly, without being misled or fraudently persuaded by anybody, after first recommending their souls to the merciful hands of Almighty God and their bodies to an honest burial, further revoking and herewith annulling all former testaments or records of last will, by them heretofore made singly or together, not wishing that anybody may make use of such instrument, the same with all its clauses, paragraphs and bequest, being hereby declared worthless, void and powerless,--they now come anew to dispose of the estate, given them by God, which they may leave behind. They testify, that they give to each other, out of their love as married people, all the proceeds and benefits from all property, which the first dying shall leave, owned apparently or really, while both are living, to be by the survivor used, enjoyed, owned and administered during life or until remarriage: they wish, that the survivor may so use and enjoy the estate without being bound to give account or inventory to (their) children, born in this marriage or in a former, to any one next of kin nor to the Orphanmasters of this or any other place nor to any body else, much less to give bail, notwithstanding some laws or ordinances of the Orphans Court of this or another place may call for it, which in this case they do not want to be operative, as they mutually trust each other and are sure, that the survivor will not defraud his or her children, but rather give them all possible assistance: thus the survivor shall be bound honestly to bring up their children, clothe them, make them go to school, provide for all their needs, let them learn a trade or an art, by which they may earn their own living, educate them to be virtuous, teach them to know and fear God and to endow them, when they marry or arrive at some other approved condition, as the estate will allow in conscience and equity. The survivor shall, in doing so, have full credit, without being compelled to render an account or give inventory, adding what said children and the child of a former marriage have received for their education and as marriage portion to their legitimate share. And of what testators shall leave behind in real and personal property, shares and credits of whatever nature and wherever they may be, nothing excepted, they name and constitute as heirs, as they herewith do, the children of their marriage now living and whom by God's blessing they still may have, who shall be alive, when they, the testators die, also the son of the testatrix, Simon Barentsen, begotten in her former marriage with Barent Simonsen, who is to receive a just *** share of his mother's property and if he dies testators' child or children shall so inherit.

But if the survivor of the testators should marry again, he or she shall be held, before such remarriage takes place, to give, before a Notary and witnesses without the Orphanmasters of this or any other place, to said child or children an account of one half of their fathers or mothers estate, as then in existence, which shall then be administered by the survivor and by guardians, to be appointed by the survivor without the Orphanmasters, for the benefit of said children, testators appointing to this end the survivor as principal guardian, giving such guardian general and special power to associate with him or herself fellow or testamentary guardians, as required by law and these shall have the power and are directed to appoint other associate guardians in case of death, well advisedly excluding the Orphanmasters of this or any other place, where they, testators, may die, not desiring that they shall in any way concern themselves about the estate, much less have any management of or authority over their children's property and they herewith respectfully give their thanks to the Honorable Orphanmasters and absolve them from all troubles, any laws, statutes or ordinances of Orphans Courts of this and other places to the contrary notwithstanding, the authority of which they herewith absolutely and advisedly deny.

Further, if it should happen, that both testators were to die, before their aforesaid children are or are found to be in condition honestly to earn their living, they, the testators, will and expressly direct, that their aforesaid children shall receive sustenance out of the estate and property to be left by them, the testators, until the children all together and each singly, are able honestly to support themselves, without any deduction being made therefor from their deceased parents' estate.

Testators further order all their said children and testatrix her son by her first marriage to observe and obey their wishes in all their form and tenour on pain, that whosoever directly or indirectly opposes or endeavors to oppose this testament in law or out of it shall lose whatever is given him here except the legal and legitimate share belonging to him, on condition that then the bringing up, and other moneys, laid out for testatrix' son by her former marriage shall be paid from the estate and the obedient children are substituted for the contravener.

After the preceding had clearly and distinctly been read to them the testators declared this to be their testament and last will, desiring that it may be considered so or as codicil, donation among living or because of death and have effect as such, even if some legal solemnities were not herein fully observed and they requested me, the Notary, to give copies thereof under the conditions, of which they gave me an account. Thus done and executed in this City, at my, the Notary's, house in the presence of Pieter Jacobsen Marius and Jacobus van de Water, both neighbours called in by the testators as witnesses, who have signed this record with them and me on the day and year above written.

A View of Schenectady, New York, circa 1690, from Cowhorn Creek. The Mohawk River connected the western wilderness with the Dutch settlements of New Netherland. Iroquois trade goods made their way to Fort Orange in this way. By the 1660’s Arent Van Curler had the idea of establishing a new settlement west of Albany on the banks of the Mohawk. With his political influence and courageous direction the city of Schenectady was founded. Reconstructing the city as it may have appeared in 1690 was an artistic challenge requiring the interpretation of written accounts and the close scrutiny of historical land surveys. The resulting image was painted by Len Tantillo over the course of many months and provides us with a glimpse into the colonial realization of Van Curler’s vision.
