WILL OF LAMBERT HUYBERTSE BRINK
The following is a translation of the will of Lambert Huybertse (Brink), of Hurley. The will is recorded in the office of the county clerk of Ulster county and is translated from the original Dutch.

..."Secondly, I give to my youngest son, Pieter Lambertse two horses, also that the house in which he lives, shall be finished in garret, floor doors, windows, etc., out of my estate without anything being paid therefor to my other heirs. I further give to my said son, his order, heirs, or administrators, one just fifth part of my whole estate.

...Lambert's son Gerrit is not included in the above will. It was at first thought that perhaps he had died by the time of the will but he witnessed a baptism at a later date from that wil. He is not listed in the Kingston baptisms. Researchers have found that Gerrit's family surname became Terpenning, which on add to the mystery of Gerrit.

Notes:

Apparently Hendrickjen Cornelisse passed away before Lambert Huybertse Brink as she is not mentioned in his will.

...The first Dutch Church of Kingston was built of logs in 1661, This building was burned by Indians on 10th of June, 1663 and forty-five villagers were taken into captivity including Lambert Huybertse Brink's wife Hendrickje Cornelisse and their three oldest children - Huybert, Lysbet and the toddler Cornelis.
...On that day, at about noon when most of the men were in the fields, bands of Indians entered through the gates, and scattering among the people and into the houses in a friendly manner, offered beans and maize for sale. A short time afterward several horse-back riders hurried through the mill-gate from Hurley, crying 'The Indians have destroyed the New Village'. When the cry was heard, the Indians began a general attack, murdering, or in some cases, taking prisoners; plundering, and then setting fire to the village on the windward side. However, a shifting of the wind prevented a total destruction, and the arrival of the men from the fields made the Indians flee.
...After three months the Brink family and others were rescued from captivity. The burned church was rebuilt in 1667 on the same site. The church at Kingston was the only Dutch Church in all of Ulster County for the families to attend and that is where we find all their baptisms.
