I have been so grateful in the past for those who have posted specific information that has helped me verify or support relationships and vitals that, though I don't mind at all communicating via email, an open exchange may help others. I hope anyone who has conflicting or supporting information will add to this discussion.
Not exactly sure what kind of information you are seeking.
Beyond what's on my posted lineage, I have this note about Mary Pennock, whom I have finally accepted as Abraham's wife because no one else has contradicted it and there are so many who claim this as true. So, still looking for more verification.

And this about Anna: She was still living when her father wrote his will in 1730. Her husband is married to a Mary Elizabeth when he died in 1776, so she must have predeceased him by some years.

Having openly and honestly adjusted their affairs previous to their
departure, they bade adieu to their old and endeared home, this
family, via Holland and England made their way to the new world, where
they arrived, sometime in 1709, in the city of New York.-- Having
arrived, and being pleased with the country, their next step was to
acquire the rights of citizenship from the proper authority. The
following letters patent, under the Privy seal of Queen Anne will show
they were successful in their application, and will be read with
interest by the descendants of all named in it.

In Mar/Apr 1709 the 1st Kocherthal Party of thirteen Lutheran and Huguenot families arrived at the Palatine Patent of Quassaick (German Patent). I picked up the following Griggs information in trying to
reconcile the list of 1709 arrivals with the 1713 Survey allotments and owners of the final patent
issued in 1719. While the Huguenots Schwisser, Turck , Feber, Fiere, & Wemarin are not listed in 1714, Henrich Rennau's name appears on the Highland Precinct Tax Lists of 1714-15 and 1717-18, yet he was not included in the 1713 Graham allotment of patent land, and did not receive a lot in the final
Quassaick Patent of 1719. NY Lutheran Church baptismal entries locate Rennau still in Highland Precinct during those years, but having left the Quassaick (German) Patent proper by fall of 1709.
Yearbook of the Holland Society 1903
4/17/1710 in the NEW GERMAN COLONY NEAR JUFFROW'S HOECK in the land of Sopos in the parents' house, born at the said place last Fall, Johan Henrich y s of LAURENTS SCHWITSER & wf CATHERINA. Wit: HENRY KENNAU & wf Janje.
[Jeffrow's Hook, was just over the north Marlborough Twp, & Highland Precinct, line on the (then) lands of the 1678 New Paltz patent owned by 12 Huguenot families, including Freer/Feree/Fiere & LeFever. It looks as if the Huguenots of the 1st Kocherthal Party left the Quassaick patent lands
shortly after arrival and formed their own colony on the New Paltz patent -- while Rennau was living on the Griggs patent in Marlborough and still in Highland Precinct.]
