NOTE: Since the oldest son, Pieter, has a court record giving hisportion of 1/14th land to his brothers Adam & Nicholas of the OldGowanus Mill area for October 10, 1700, it can only be surmised thatMagdalena must have forgiven her son Pieter's disobedience to hisfather, Adam, and allowed Pieter to have his allottment of land. Itcould also be that since Magdalena was administering the estate, andwhen she passed away, Magdalena may have given Pieter a portion atthat time or left the administration to him of the property that wasnot already deeded to the other children and grandchildren. It cannotbe clearly known at the present time exactly what transpired, butPieter did come into his inheritance eventually it would seem.
