I've added a link to the post above as the digital images there are far better than the images I photographed some years back.<br />The style of handwriting here is old, and what you are seeing as an N (Nisher, Nidder) I read as a V with a little hook (Visscher or Visher). Compare with the N in North or New York for example.<br />If the original will still exists I imagine it is housed somewhere in the Montgomery County court house.

I found it on family search. It has some errors in translating some of the names such as Nisher for Fisher, Nidder for Vedder, and Dopstedder for Dockstader. It gives nice details about the property he left to my ancestor, Aaron Brouwer, b. 1766. Thanks for all of your research.Carole Leishmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16459105235326884378noreply@blogger.com
