Repositories
Wills covering the entire colony of New York were recorded with the Prerogatives Court and later with the Court of Probates under the first Constitution of the state. A portion of the files are in the office of the clerk of the Court of Appeals in Albany; while others, chiefly those relating to Westchester and counties further south, were transferred by legislative act in 1797 to the Surrogate's Office of New York County.
