"In the Name of God, Amen, this 10 day of July, 1694, I, Susannah Brasier, of New York, being sound in body, and knowing that I am ordained to die." Having full power by the will of my late husband Henry Brasier, dated April 23, 1689, to dispose of all the estate, I give to my son Henry Brasier, one half of the land in the Smith's Vly, where he hath built upon during his life, and then to his daughter Susannah. I leave to my son Isaac Brasier, the other half during his life, and then to his daughter Susannah. I leave to my son Abraham my house and ground in this city on condition that it be appraised, and what it is worth more than the land in the Smith's Vly, the surplus is to be paid to my four daughters, and after his death the house and lot is to go to his son Henry. Leaves household goods to her daughters Sarah and Susannah. Leaves to each of her grandchildren a silver spoon, value 10 shillings. Leaves to Mary Barnes, daughter of Mary Brasier, a bedstead. To Susanah Brown a morning gown. To grandchild Henry Brasier, son of Abraham, a silver cup. A piece of meadow at Maspeth Kills on Long Island "next to Butchers" is to be sold to pay burial expenses. Makes her son Abraham and her friend Abraham Messier, executors.
Witnesses, P. DeLanoy, Peter Messier. Proved before Governor Benjamin Fletcher, November 29, 1694, and the executors confirmed.
