(1662 - 12 Jun 1707)
He owned considerable property in Flatlands, and in 1699 was one of the five men who purchased a thousand acres at Marlboro, Monmouth County, New Jersey, where he probably intended to settle, but, unlike his brothers, Peter and John, never made the move. He married, in 1691, Catherine, daughter of Johannes Nevius, the common ancestor of the Nevius family in America
