On June 24, 1675, (not long after the death of her husband) using the name Amy Androwes (making her mark), she sold to Thomas Moor, the 4 acre houselot and entire "accommodation" of her deceased husband, in Elizabethtown, excepting 20 acres which Joachim had sold in his lifetime to Peter Moss, and which she confirmed to Moss two weeks later. She reserved for her own use "pear tree and gousberry bushes." This is the last reference to her. At some point she moved to Newtown, L.I., where her sons lived in the 1690s.
