Before me, Cornelis van Tienhoven, secretary of New Netherland, appeared Fredrick Lubbersen, who declared that he had sold to Ritchert Lord a Negro named Antony, which Negro he, the vendor, hereby conveys and transfers in true ownership to the above mentioned Ritchert Lordt, who shall have power to employ the said Negro during his life time in all such work as the said Ritchart Lordt shall think proper. He, Fredrick Lubbersen, declares that from now on he relinquishes all ownership of said Negro. In witness whereof this is signed by Fredrick Lubbersen and the witnesses hereto invited, the 28th of November 1646, in New Amsterdam in New Netherland.
