Before me, Cornelis van Tienhoven, secretary of New Netherland, appeared Adam Brouwer, from Ceulen,[1] a soldier (sailed anno 1641 in the ship Swol to Brazil for the chamber of Amsterdam; his supercargo was Willem de Haes), who in the presence of the undersigned witnesses assigns and transfers in full and free ownership to Guert Servaesz, living at Amsterdam in Papenbrugh alley, his wages earned in the service of the honorable directors of the West India Company, chamber of Amsterdam, at Marinhan,[2] amounting to the sum of one hundred and eighty-nine guilders, which said sum of one hundred and eighty-nine guilders he requests the honorable directors to be pleased to pay to the aforesaid Geurt Servaesz at Amsterdam. The said sum having been paid, he, Adam Brouwer, frees the honorable gentlemen from all demands hereafter to be made on that account by himself or any of his heirs. Done in Fort Amsterdam in New Netherland, the 21st of February 1645.
