And, furthermore, it is my will and pleasure that in case my old and faithful servant Culloman should survive my loving wife Jannetje, that then I will and direct my Executors to give him his choice where to live

during life, and the expense of feeding and clothing him shall be paid by my Executors-the one half thereof out of the estate, the other half thereof to be taken out of the estate of all the children of my daughter Altje, deceased, share and share alike. And I do make, constitute, and ordain my beloved wife Jannetje, Executrix; my son-in-law, Dr. Theodorus Van Wyck, and my good friends, Jacobus Swartwout and Jacob Griffin, Esquire, Executors of this my last Will and Testament, hereby revoking all former Wills by me made.
