one Bed Spred one Looking Glass one Copper Cittle two puter Platers one puter Bason one Iron Pot one set of Curtains

Sworn Before me the Second Day of nouvember 1784 ISAAC DOD
This gift by Michael to his daughters subsequently elic- ited the following terse legal opinion by a distinguished law- yer, afterwards of New York :
Michael Vreeland in his Life time before Mercy Purey said he intended to give his Daughters some particular Things, which he mentioned but never did actually give them, altho' he lived some time after-The Ques- tion is, whether the Daughters shall have those things or they shall go to the administrator for the Payment of the Debts of the Intestate-
They clearly go the Administrator-for
Ist A Gift of this Kind cannot pass by Intendment
2d Allowing He did really give them, yet if there is not sufficient Estate, they must go in payment of Debt for it is a Rule of Law- A Man must be just., before he is Generous-
So there can be no Doubt, but Michael N. Vreeland, as Administrator, can dispose of those Goods-

Alden, was reserved, however, to the use of the three sons, a fact which by no means inured to their future benefit. Her- manus received among other property, a tract of 93. 16 acres "at a place called the Plains, whereon the house stands ;" also a wood-lot "on the east side of the new road leading to Blatchley's Bath," 8.12 acres, where he lived, in a stone house still standing, near the corner of Bloomfield avenue and Van Houten's lane, Acquackanonk, and where he also had a distillery of his own. He left no children. In his later years, after the death of his wife, he had his wife's sister, Mrs. Trientje Van Houten, keep house for him. Richard received, among other property, a tract of 363 acres at the upper end of the homestead, and Roelof received an equal portion of the homestead farm. The report of the commissioners is dated April 7, 1804. Roelof mortgaged his property in 1816, and it was sold by the sheriff, under foreclosure, by deed dated May 13, 1819, to Ezekiel Wade.
