- The ancestor of the Post family was a native of Holland and emigrated to New Amsterdam. Jacob Post held lands in Philipsburgh under the Philippses. (Bolton)
Will of Jacob Post, Sr., dated April 2, 1771, proved May 23, 1771, Yonkers, Westchester County, New York. I leave to my son Jacob, 100 pounds "to be taken out of the farm where he now lives. And for the remainder of the farm, if he keeps it, he must pay 200 pounds to my executors to pay legacies." I leave to my son Abraham, a small tract of land lying in Rockland, in the County of Orange, which land he now lives on, provided he pays 200 pounds, and if he pays it, he is to have a clear deed. I leave to my sons Isaac and Peter, the farm I now live on, provided they pay 200 pounds to my two daughters, Joanna and Margaret. I leave to my son Anthony, 100 pounds; to my son Martin, 100 pounds, to my grandson, Martin Crieger, 20 pounds, when of age. I leave to my granddaughter, Ann Crieger, a bed and furniture and a large looking glass, and the household goods that belonged to their mother. I make my sons Isaac and Anthony, executors.
