Notes
Marriage
The marriage was performed by Dominie Seljin. Witness was Catarina Jeronymus the mother of the bride. Dominie Seljin's careful accounting of the "wedding money" shows that Martin gave him 6 guilders for performing the ceremony. At the time of the marriage the congregation was meeting temporarily in a barn. The first building, an octagonal shaped building with a threaded roof was erected for this congregation in 1666 right in the middle of the road which then passed it by on either side...now it is Fulton Street, Brooklyn, NY. Marten was active in the Brooklyn Dutch Reformed Church all of his life and served as a deacon there for many years.Marten and Annetje had 11 children.
