Abraham Verleth

birth

Caspar Varlet and his wife Judith Tentenier did emigrate to New Netherland with several of their children late in 1650. They arrived at New Amsterdam shortly before the first of January, 1651, aboard the ship, "Fortuyn." In 1709, at the age of 80, their daughter Judith Varlet, the wife of Nicholas Bayard, gave a deposition concerning that voyage. [26] In her recollection, Judith described the birth of her nephew Abraham, son of her brother Nicholas Varlet and his wife Susannah, whom she says was born "in a great storme, some few days before the Shipp arrived at or made a place called Martins Vinyard" (meaning Martha's Vinyard), and that "some few days after said Shipps departure from Martins Vinyard, they arrived at New York, then called New Amsterdam, where the said young born son was baptised by the Dutch minister Mr Megapolensus and named Abraham." Abraham's baptism took place on the first of January, 1651. [27] ~• from : http://varletfamily.pbworks.com/w/page/8500460/Chapter%202%3A%20The...
