New direct links for some Brower and Duryea wills recorded in the Kings County, New York Will Books have been added to the page, “Links to Image Pages at FamilySearch.org – Probate & Estate Records.” Added are the following:
Abraham4
Brower (Jeury3, Abraham2, Adam1), Will dated
13 February 1797.
Abraham E.5
Brouwer (Everhardus4, Jacob3, Jacob2, Adam1),
Will dated 8 December 1831.
Adolphus4
Brower (Jeury3, Abraham2, Adam1), Will dated

Will dated 9 May 1787.
John5
Brower (Isaac4, Adolphus3, Nicholas2, Adam1),
Will dated 8 October 1803.
Since I have
recently been looking at some Duryea families with regard to a few
relationships with Brouwer families, I have included the following
Duryea/Duryee wills:
Charles2
Duryea (Joost1, SimonA du Rieu), Will dated 4 December
1751 (this will is recorded in New York County).
Charles4
Duryea (Jacob3, Charles2, Joost1, SimonA
du Rieu), Will dated 14 March 1795.
Charles T.4
Duryee (Theunis3, Charles2, Joost1, SimonA
du Rieu), Will dated 30 September 1799.
Jacob3
Duryee (Charles2, Joost1, SimonA du Rieu),
Will dated 11 August 1796.
Johannes3
Duryea (Charles2, Joost1, SimonA du Rieu),
Will dated 3 March 1780 (the will is recorded in New York County, and
Johannes/John was living in Somerset County, New Jersey at the time the will
was written).
Joost3
Duryea (Abraham2, Joost1, SimonA du Rieu),
Will dated 2 July 1793.
Please use
the “Probate
& Estate Records” page for links to the images. FamilySearch is,
apparently, now requiring that you sign in, in order to view the images. If you
do not have an account with FamilySearch, you will have to create one. The
account is free.
Fortunately,
the Kings County Will Books have been indexed. Links to the images of the first
page of the indexes for each of Kings County, Wills, volumes 1 though 4, has
been added to the “Indexes
to Probate & Estate Records” page.
I would also note that the will books found here are not the originals. They were copies made in 1911 (see page 439 of Lib. 1). As we all know, errors can be created whenever a document is copied or transcribed. But, probably the biggest loss is that we are unable to view the original signatures of the testators and witnesses.
