• Notes

  Adolph Meyer, a farmer from Ulsen, a parish of Bentheim, in the German province of Westphalia was born around 1646 and emigrated to New-Netherland (now New York) in 1661, his brothers, Andrew and John also came to America. There he married Maria Verveelen from Amsterdam. His marriage record calls him "from Ulsen in Westphalen". Adolph and Maria joined the Dutch Church in 1664. Adolph was a lay assessor (dutch: schepen) in 1674-76, a corporal of the first Night Watch in 1675-76, an inspector of chimneys from 1684, a constable in 1689, and an assistant alderman in 1693-94. He was also one of three overseers and a church elder. In 1680 he helped to build the town-house (which we think must have been something like a town-hall), and to cut the stone for the church in 1696. His date of death is not known exactly, but it is known that his last will is dated Feb. 1711. - Children ; 1. Maria bp. 26 Apr. 1679 m. 29 Jul. 1699 to Samson Benson d. ? 2.
