Wherefore he, Willekock, relinquishes his claim to the aforesaid Jorls Pentoor and transfers the same to Tomas Hal aforesaid. In witness and in token of the truth this is signed in the record by Jan Willekock and the above mentioned witnesses and by me, the secretary, the 16th of September A°. 1644, in Fort Amsterdam in New Netherland.
