CALENDAR
OF WILLS AND LETTERS OF ADMINISTRATION

PERTAINING
TO ESTATES IN ROCKLAND COUNTY, N.Y.

TO
THE END OF THE YEAR 1850 

from
Budke Collection,  BC-68 

Compiled
by George H. Budke, 1921 

 

INTRODUCTION 

           
The following is a somewhat reformatted version of George Budke’s 1921
Abstracts of Rockland County Wills and Letters of Administration.  The substance remains true to the original text
but in many instances there has been a transformation of the information; mainly the
placement of the sons and the daughters on single lines instead of in list form.  Editorial comments are enclosed in square
brackets, i.e., “[comment]”.  An
apostrophe is used in certain abbreviated given names to indicate that the following
letter in the original is in a superscript format, i.e., #83 “Joha’s” in
which the “s” in the original is raised and to the right of the “a”.

The within calendar of wills and letters of administration relate to estates in
Orange County ‘south of the mountains’, down to 1798, and thereafter, from 1798
to the close of 1850, to estates in Rockland County, N.Y., (which county was erected from
the aforementioned portion of Orange County). 

           
The said calendar has been compiled from the original surrogate’s records in
the several offices in which they have been found.  No
effort has been made to form complete abstracts of all the wills, as the chief purpose of
the work is to present such information as may be useful in genealogical research, rather
than to supply details concerning the disposition of property. 

           
The calendar contains the following particulars pertaining to the wills: 

           
The testator’s name and his residence and occupation, if these are mentioned;
the state of his health, if given; a list of all the persons, including the executors,
named in the will, and the relationship of these persons to the testator, if the same is
stated; the date of execution and the date of proving of the will.  

           
The names of the witnesses have been omitted because, generally, there is no
possibility of determining whether the witnesses were in any way related to the testator,
or even whether they were residents of the county.  To
have copied them would have added several thousand names to an already large total –
names which it would have been difficult to identify in most instances.
