New York City Wills, 1706-90

Description (from source site)
As a port of entry into British North America in the 18th Century, the city of New York had few rivals. This collection of will abstracts for city residents was originally published in 1903 by the New York Historical Society and contains records found in the Office of the New York Surrogate which were previously unrecorded in official court documents. Each entry reveals a wealth of information about the filing individual, often including names of family members and witnesses. Covering the years 1706 to 1790, this database contains nearly 700 records and can be a helpful source of information for researchers of city residents of the 1700's.
