trader of New Amsterdam in 1659, and had by him one child, a daughter, baptized Oct. 3d, 1660. Rudolphus died in 1661, leaving a considerable estate, which by law, devolved upon his widow and child with a community of interest when the Court of Orphan Masters of New Amsterdam summoned her before them, to render an inventory of her child's paternal inheritance. This she declared she was unable to do, probably in consequence of the commercial character of the assets; whereupon she received the anti-nuptial contract between her and Frederick Philipse in hen of the inventory, in consequence of its embodying an agreement on his part to adopt the child of Rudolphus as his own, and to bequeath her one half of his estate, unless he had children born to himself, and in that case to give her a share equally with them.
