But his wife shall suffer his sister Nellie Maria, born at Newkirck, and now dwelling at Amsterdam, to have and enjoy one-half of the property, in which is included the Testator's part of the entailed estate lying beyond sea, in Guilderland. And also concerning the money that his father, deceased, hath disbursed for the Lordship and manor of Rensselaerwyck, upon which an award is made and confirmed by the Testator and Mr. Richard van Rensselaer, and a true account is to be delivered to his sister, and his sister shall do the like to his wife, for the estate beyond sea in the Netherlands.
