I have no indication that John Sperling who married Marretje Burhans is related to the Sparlings of NY/NJ whom I have been researching, but I have no indication that he is not either. Nevertheless, I've collected records from this marriage and thought they might be useful to someone.

"In the name of God, Amen. I, Wilhelmus Burhans, of Saugerties, Ulster County, carpenter. I leave to my eldest son, Barnet, all my carpenter tools. I leave to my three sons, Barnet, Jerrick, and John, each 20. And whereas my real estate is part of the estate of my father, Barnet Burhans, late of Saugerties, and also part of the other estate of my said father situate at Braband [Kingston], and being yet undivided. I give all my part of the same to my said three sons and my daughters, Margaret Brink and Maretie SPERLING. And I order them to have the said estate divided as soon as possible. And my said children shall, immediately after the division, pay to my loving wife, their mother, Hilletie, 50 per annum, each of them, during her life. But if she marries, the payment is to cease. I leave to my daughter, Margaretta Brink, my Great Bible. To my daughter, Maretta SPERLING, my Psalm Book.
