Notes for Elizabeth Alberties: "[260] 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 p age 44 (this Liber contains separate pages for will and deeds). Two abst racts of this will were checked, one by Amos Canfield in the NYGBR 65:11 7, the other by Wm. A. D. Eardeley in his "Records in the Office of the Conty Clerk at Jamaica, L. I., N. Y. 1680-1781"(1918). Both agree that t he will names the following persons: My wife, Elizabeth Albertus; my son s John and Samuel Albertus; my daughter ElizabethHoward; my daughter Meh itabel; and my daughter Deliverance Graves. NOTES: InCora 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 "my daughter Elizabeth Steward." This beco mes more likely when it is known that the present copy of the will at Ja maica is almost certainly not that seen by Riker. Sometimein the late 19 th century, almost certainly after Riker published his book, theold Libe r A was replaced by a new handwirtten transcription, and the old Liberha s never been seen since that time. Whoever was employed to make the tran script is know to have made errors in deciphering proper names, no doubt because many of the earliest clerks used the old "Secretary Hand" and o ther handwriting very different from our own. It is quite possible that "Steward" could be misread as "Howard". There was a Howard family in New town, also well known to Riker, but there does not appear to be any plac e for a wife Elizabeth in that family as of 1689.
