Notes for Jan Alberti: "[819] NOTES: After going through all the know remaining published sour ces, itappeared that nothing had been found that identified John Stewart 's wife as Elizabeth Alburtis. Yet James Riker stated in "Anals of Newto n", (1852) that JohnStewart did marry Elizabeth, duaghter of John Alburt is. Riker is known to havebeen a careful researcher, who utilized the th en largely unpublished New York primary sourses. WILL: The will of John "Albertus" of Newtown, dated 14 Jan 1689/90 and proved 20 May 1691, is recorded in Queens County Liber A, Wills page44 ( this Liber contains separate pages for will and deeds). Two abstracts of this will were checked, one by Amos Canfield in the NYGBR 65:117, the o ther by Wm. A. D. Eardeley in his "Records in the Office of the Conty Cl erk at Jamaica, L. I., N. Y. 1680-1781"(1918). Both agree that the will names the following persons: My wife, Elizabeth Albertus; my sons John a nd Samuel Albertus; my daughter Elizabeth Howard; my daughter Mehitabel; and my daughter Deliverance Graves. NOTES: In Cora Snapp's "Historical Notes of Newtown, Collected by James Riker", she lists John Alburtus' 1689 Will as among those abstracted by Riker in his"Memoria Vol. 7", but she does not give the abstract. The M emoria Volumes are available in the Manuscripts Division of the New York Public Library, upon application. One cannot help but suspect that Rike r read John Alburtis' Will as "mydaughter Elizabeth Steward." This becom es more likely when it is known that the present copy of the will at Jam aica is almost certainly not that seen by Riker. Sometime in the late 19 th century, almost certainly after Riker published his book, the old Lib er A was replaced by a new handwirtten transcription, and the old Liber has never been seen since that time. Whoever was employed to make the tr anscript is know to have made errors in deciphering proper names, no dou btbecause many of the earliest clerks used the old "Secretary Hand" and other handwriting very different from our own. It is quite possible that "Steward" could be misread as "Howard". There was a Howard family in Ne wtown, also well knownto Riker, but there does not appear to be any plac e for a wife Elizabeth in that family as of 1689.
