Abstract: Last will and testament of Thomas Brewer, from England. He leaves all his lands and possessions to his only daughter Mercy, from his marriage to Ann Brewer (née Offley), except for the following bequests. The deacons of the English church, of whom he is one, will get 200 guilders. John Carver, his good friend, gets 100 guilders. Margaret Savory gets 20 guilders, His servant and servant girl get 40 guilders each. John Carver gets the guardianship of Mercy. He has to give an amount of money to the city orphan’s chamber to invest on behalf of Mercy. The rest of the money for Mercy is to be in his custody and from her 13th birthday onwards he will get 250 guilders a year for his work. If John Carver should die, Thomas Brewer appoints his good acquaintance William Jepson as guardian over Mercy, with the same authority. If Mercy dies before she is 12, or without leaving children or a will, the inheritance should be divided as follows. The lands in England will go to John Brewer, his brother. The rest will be divided in ten parts and each of the following will get a part: John Brewer, the English church, John Carver, the brothers and sisters of his deceased wife, Richard Brewer (cousin or nephew?), William Brewer (cousin or nephew?), half a portion to the poor of Leiden, a quarter portion to William Brewster, a quarter portion to the university library, a half portion to John Robinson, a half portion to Jan Doot, a half portion to be divided under the English clergymen by John Carver, a half portion to Henry, James and Richard Lee, a half portion to Henry Ainsworth in Amsterdam, a quarter portion to the English community to which Henry Ainsworth belongs and a quarter portion to be spent by John Carver on the sale of books against the English bishops. The testament has been drawn up in Thomas Brewer’s house in the Nieuwsteeg. Witnesses are Maarten van der Velden, apothecary, and Pieter Pietersz van der Velden, writer, both inhabitants of Leiden. A.C. Paedts is the notary public.
