• Notes

  Margie added information from Clay Patterson Book 1. residence Dec 1677 - can't find source 2. occupation 3. added second possible parent to Jan - confusing information points to different parents. see notes on Jans page 4. added children Sophia and Christopher 5. made death date abt. 1709 rather than 1709 6. Changed middle name from Janse to Jans so same as mothers and other siblings Margie also added: 1. find-a-grave info and web link. Did not also add in father or son Jacobus. Dates for father off and not sure about Jacobus info yet. 2. nickname to help with searches Margie Comments birth death dates son Jacobus not consistent with Patterson book Jim Romine - I cannot find documentation to support Christofel birth year.
