Before me, appeared Jochem Paschen, from Dressen,[1] corporal, who in the presence of the witnesses hereto invited declares that he assigns to Seger Teunesz his account [ of wages ] earned by him in the service of the honorable directors of the Chartered West India Company, chamber of Amsterdam, at Fort St. Louis de Marinhan, amounting to the sum of one hundred and forty guilders, two stivers, which above mentioned sum he, the appearer, requests the honorable directors to be pleased to pay to the above mentioned Seger Teunesz, who has given the appearer here in New Netherland in payment the value of the said account in cloth, linen and necessaries. The appearer promises, in case the honorable directors should not pay the account above mentioned, that the wages which he, Jochem Paschen, shall earn in New Netherland shall be Seger Teunisz’ security. In witness whereof this is signed in the record by Jochem Paschen and Willem de Key and [blank], witnesses hereto invited. Done in Fort Amsterdam in New Netherland, the 12th of April 1645.
