Kinderhook 14th Septem'r 1761

I Under written Johannis Huyck Do hereby Acknowledge to have Received of Andries Burger Hyuck Jacobus Huyck and Dirck Huyck the Sum of One hundred pound Current Money of the Coloney{sic} of New York it Being In full of what my father Mr. Burger Huyck Dec'd Did Devise Unto me By his Last Will and Testament Witness my hand Date as Above — — — — — — — — — Johannis Huyck{sig} Testes John Fitzgerald{sig} — — — Willem Klaen

Commentary

Notes:

Identical in form to Burger Jr.’s receipt — same date, same amount, same payers, same witnesses.

Johannis signing in his own hand — unlike his father Burger Sr. who signed with a mark in the land documents, Johannis was literate.

Willem Klaen now clearly readable as such — confirming our reading of the previous document.

The three paying brothers — Andries, Jacobus, and Dirck — are consistently named, suggesting these three either inherited the land and assets while Burger Jr. and Johannis received cash legacies, or they were designated as executors responsible for paying out the bequests.

Two of the three Fitzgerald documents now accounted for — the third is almost certainly Dirck Huyck’s receipt, or possibly Andries’s.
