salvation, Amen.
1680 April 26, being Monday morning between 8 and 9 o'clock my eldest son Johannes was born; may the
Lord grant him to grow up virtuous; he was named for my deceased father, and baptised on May 2, being
a Sunday. The witnesses were my father in law Cap Phillip Schuyler and Dirk Wessels, and was
presented for baptism by my mother in law Mrs. Margareta Schuyler. But Father Schuyler, being at the
Flatts, was prevented by the extremely high water from coming hither, and Brother Pieter acted as
witness in his father's stead.

the Lord bless her both spiritually and physically she was named for my mother in law and was baptised
on the 11th of the said month by Dom. Gideon Schaets. The witnesses were my father in law Cap Phill.
Schuyler and my mother in law who has presented her for baptism.

French, who on February 9 last had surprised Schenectady, no guard having been kept, the people being
divided on account of the usurpation of on Jacob Leysler, merchant at New York, who, without a

in May 1691.

at Norwalk. We went to live at Fairfield for the winter. Meanwhile Majr. Rich'd Ingolsby arrived with the
soldiers from England, and afterward Col. Henry Slougter, gov'r Genl. But Jacob Leysler and his faction
resisted the royal authority and was unwilling to surrender the fort. Afterward the mob falling away from
him left him and his Councillors in a pickle, to answer for everything. On account hereof eight have been
condemned to death on a charge of high treason; Leysler and Milborn hung as the ringleaders. The
remainder imprisoned till the King's pleasure shall be known.
