Edited by William Smith Pelletreau and indexed by Robert H. Kelly.

Vols. 15-17, having imprints dated respectively 1907, 1908, 1909, were actually issued in 1913.

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.

Volumes 3-9, 13-15 include letters of administration.
