Translation Superscripts
[1]: The estate of Jan Jansen van Ilpendam, the former commisary on the Delaware, who was deposed and who had recently died. See Doc. Rel. Col. Hist. N.Y., 14:137.
[2]: Den boedel met de voet heeft gestooten: a figurative expression, meaning that Adriaen van Ilpendam had renounced the right of succession to his father's estate, which was incumbered with debts, and had relinquished it for the benefit of the creditors, since under the Roman-Dutch law, by accepting the inheritance, he would have become liable for all the debts and obligations of the deceased.
