  [[Category:Dutch Roots Project Needs Birth]]{{New Netherland Settler|needs=LNAB|needs1=Church Records}} {{Unsourced}} == Biography == <blockquote>Peter, (eldest son of Louris Jansen Opdyck,) upon the occasion of the division of his father's estate, voluntarily surrenders to "his mother Stincha Loras" the interest of his portion, "for the bringing up his younger brother," to whom he leaves the principal in case he die first; "his young brother" also leaving to Peter his whole portion in case of death; - a pleasing evidence of mutual affection. The following year, Lourens Petersen conveys lot number 34 at Gravesend, with farming implements, to Peter and Otto, for their shares of the estate. Peter and Otto at the same time acknowledge the receipt, from their "father-in-law" (a very common expression in those days for step-father) Lourens Petersen, of 300 guilders, the portion of "their brother Johannes Loras, according to the dividend of the estate of their deceased father Loras Johnson." They also agree to pay to "their mother Stincha Loras" interest on Johannes' portion, for his support. Two years later Christina, "in behalf of her sons Otto Loras and Johannes Loras," ratifies a sale of the farm made by her son Peter. <br>9 January 1662: In Witnesse wereunto for the confirmation heareof the said pties have sett their hands the day and yeare above written.
