On February 14, 1705 John Tyse Goes prepared his will as: "In the name of God, Amen. By the contents of this Publick Instrument be it known...being sick in body, sometimes going and sometimes being down, but in the full exercise of his memory. He makes for his universal heir, his wife, Syntie Jans Goes, and his sons, Tys, John, Dirck Goes, and Jacobus, and his daughters Teuntje, Anna, Judith, and Maycke Goes. His eldest son Tys shall have a cow and 40 shillings for his birth right, and he shall also have the small creek...His son Jan Goes, shall have the great piece of land and woodland, and hi is to build for his mother a small house and barn to winter as many cows as she has need for, and for a Negro to wait on her. And his mother is to have the fourth sheaf of the grain, and the chamber to live in. His son Dirck shall have the land that lies backward, and the place where he now lives, and Jan and Dirck shall have together the great piece of meadow. This is to be appraised at less than it value, because the land spoils by the overflowing creek. And after their mother's death they shall pay in proportion to each of the children. His granddaughter Mayhe is to have a cow.
