Translation

Before me, Cornelis van Tienhoven, secretary of New Netherland, appeared Johannes La Montangne, councillor of the said place, and Philip Dorme, aged 34 years,[1] who at the request of Marta Chombar, widow of the late Jan Manje, attest, testify and declare, in place and with promise of an oath if need be and required, that it is true and truthful that Jan Manje at Stamfort, being wounded, requested and charged him, the deponent, to tell his son-in-law, Piter, the Italian,[2] that the above mentioned Marta Chombar, his wife, should remain in full possession of all the property they might jointly possess, without being disturbed about it by his son-in-law as long as she lived. All of which they offer to confirm. The 11th of March anno 1644, in Fort Amsterdam, New Netherland.
