And those who are able to use my lands shall do so for the support of their mother and my smaller children. And when my younger children are old enough to pay their share of debts, they shall repay them. And if they do not help, then my wife has power to lease land. I appoint Sir William Johnson, Baronet, Sylrant Van Schaick, Esq., the old Mayor Peter Schuyler, and Dominie Johan Kaspar Lappeus, Abraham Yates, High Sheriff, Johanes Degormay, and Conrad Matyse, executors, "and I impower them to see Justice done to the heirs."
