1729 bible online
Hello to all interested researchers,
A few months ago, a Van Slyke Bible with publication
date of 1729 came up for auction on e-Bay. The
successful bidderphoned me, we chatted, and he came
up for a visit, Bible in hand.
We had a terrific time and I was able to digitally
photograph the Bible, including the family lineages
handwritten on its pages.
The lineage of the Bible owners (there were two) is
convoluted, and I have created a chart to show their
descent from Cornelis Antonissen Van Slyke and his
Mohawk wife Ots-Toch who lived in New Netherland
(now New York) in the 17th Century.
Although I have not shown the parents of non Van Slykes,
the surnames which are in the lineage of the Bible owners
are:
VAN SLYKE
RYCKMAN
VEDDER
TOLL
HAVERLY
YATES
BRADT
DUNBAR
RINCKHOUT
EGMONT
