I leave to my sons Jan and Petrus each 50, "provided they be not married at the time when I come to die," and it is to be paid to them as an outsett; but if they are married at the time of my decease, this is to be null and void. All the rest of my estate I leave to all my children, Dirck, Nicholas, Jan, Petrus, Sara, wife of Peter Wyckoff, Jr. I make my wife and my sons executors.

Jan Derckse Amberman died in 1757 and was buried at Flatlands Dutch Church Cemetery in Flatlands, Kings County, New York.
Note from Charmagne Gwynn: "According to the U.S. International Marriage Records 1560-1900. Jan and Maria were married in 1705 and then he married Sara in 1706. That would put Maria's dod between 1705-1706. Some of the family trees have Maria's dod as May 1705 but they have no backup to show that this is the case."
