I recently came across the will of John/Jan Emans husband of Elinor (Van Aken) and father of Nicholas, Rachel, Elinor and Catherine in the Calendar of New Jersey Wills Volume II 1730-1750. They lived in Wallpack Hunterdon Co. (now Sussex), New Jersey when John/Jan Emans died. The will was witnessed and signed in 1732. Proved on May 17, 1732. Inventory was on JUN 22, 1732. 1758, Oct 9 Account of Edward Robeson and Elinor, his wife, late Elinor Emans, executrix of will of John Emans. Nicholas Emans was also the Executor along with Elinor. I think the Nicholas Emans named as co executor was not his son. Jan's son Nicholas woud have been at least 6 years old at his father's death.
