A Note on Birth Year

[edit]

It would be more correct to give his birth year as 'c. 1678', but almost all refernces simply use the straight date, with no qualification. The family bible survives, with a notation (in Dutch) that he was baptized in September, 1678. So, I chose to go with the norm and give the year as unambiguous. The practice at the time in the Dutch Reformed Church was to baptize very young infants, usually a few weeks old at the outside. Lou I 22:50, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)
