13/2/1732 marriage is unlikely.
Catherine Potman was baptized February 18, 1721, at the Reformed Dutch Church of Schenectady.
She married Capt. Henry Nicholas Hanson who was baptized June 24, 1722, the son of Nicholas Hendrickse Hanson and Engeltje Barentse Wemp.
Nicholas Hanson's July 1713 patent just above Tribes Hill was the earliest record of any settlement in that area. Nicholas Hanson settled the tract.
It was claimed that his son Henry, born in 1722, was the first white child born north of the Mohawk River between Schenectady and Palatine Bridge.
During the Revolutionary War in one of Sir John Johnson's raids on the Mohawk Valley in 1780, Loyalist Indians killed and scalped Capt. Henry Hanson at his home. It is ironic that Henry once express great gratitude toward and befriended the Indian who killed him.
After killing Henry, the raiding party burned his house and left the women homeless.
The Indian's also killed several of Hansen's neighbors.
Henry Nicholas Hanson reportedly had a son named Douw, which suggests that Henry married second a daughter of Douw Fonda.
