"These records are taken from a Dutch Bible published in Amsterdam in 1723 by Jacobus Conyenberg and Isaac Van der Putts. They are printed herewith by permission of the present owner, the Holland Society of New York, and add considerably to previously published accounts of the descendants of the famous Anneke Jans by her second husband Rev. Evarardus Bogardus. As the leaves on which the records are written have in the course of time become detached from the Bible, it is impossible to tell in what order they were originally placed. The entries have been translated and annotated by Louise Hasbrouck Zimm, and nos. 1-16, inclusive, are in Dutch.--Ed." 

[A letter written by me to the Holland Society in about 197?9 returned the information that they did not have this Bible and knew nothing about it. I suspect that the person who answered my letter was mistaken, but that was the response that I got. My great-aunts Betty, Ethel, and Mildred Innis evidently saw this Bible at some point probably in the 1940s or 1950s and made notes of their own but the only difference was that they had 25 instead of 22 for Isaac's birth. I have omitted many of the notes in the RECORD transcription.-cy]

From unpublished Family Bible Records and Genealogical Notes and Other Unpublished Data; DAR, 1930-1931 

Book in the possession of Frederick G. Van Tine, 1930. At least one of the records in this collection is from a Family Bible, but is this one from a Bible or transcription of a Bible? 

This varies from the data in the 1812 Pension Record for John Vantine which supposedly was copied from the Family Bible, but the notary crossed out the notarization.

Fishkill Village Dutchess Co. New York. 

The following is a copy of a page of an old Bible torn or worn out; the record was kept by Isaac Vantyne himself and he probably once owned the Bible.

Helena Teller's second husband was Francis Rombout - who was of French extraction and came to New Amsterdam in 1654. They left but one child Catharina to whom passed all his interest in the great patent above the Highlands New York at the time of her father's death 1690. 

After her father's death Catharina married Roger Brett. He was an Englishman and a man much her senior.

October 16^th 1744 daughters Molle, Catherine 

1746 Rachel 

She was baptized in Fishkill Village Feb. 22^nd 1746 and married Cornelius Brett son of Francis and Margaret Van Wyck Brett. 

Our grand-mother, Frances Phillips Van Tine remembered her well, and spoke of her as a very haughty person. She lived to be very old. Grandmother thought she was nearly one hundred when she died; I think grand-mother said she had six children. 

He was a very quiet man, kind hearted and much loved so my grand-mother said. He is buried in the old Newlin yard at Tironda. 

According to the New York State Archives volume no. 1 Cornelius served in the militia in 1778, 2^nd Reg't. Dutchess County. 

Col. Dirck Brinkerhoff. 
Cap't Isaac Van Wyck's company. 

Poor health prevented him from serving with his brothers, John Isaac Francis and Robert in the Continental Army. The soldiers came for him in the night, made him get up and dress and marched him to a place near Peekskill. N.Y. where he was confined for a short time, then released on account of his health. During the war at the least sign 

In the winter of 1779-80 there was great destitution in the army, and it grew so cold for the soldiers encamped in the mountains, that they were lodged among the different families living near by. Cornelius and his wife had four solders to keep that winter. Their daughter Betsey was a babe at that time and the soldiers made a great pet of her. Cornelius Van Tine married Nellie Ames she was from the east. probably Rhode Island. She lived to be 72 years of age and had consumption for years. 

Nellie Ames was an episcopalian 

Cornelius and Nellie were buried in the Newlin burying ground at Tironda Dutchess County New York. 

Grand-mother never saw Johannis nor Francis. (John and Franc she called them.) She said after the Revolutionary war they followed the sea and one of them they knew was taken by pirates. 

In the first volume of the New York State Archives there are two John Van Tines recorded as following in Continental Army 

John Van Tine, Private 5^th Regt. N.Y. Line Col. Lewis Du Bois Capt. Henry Goodwins Co. Jan 5^th 1777 to July 1777. 

John Van Tine, Private - 1^st Regt - N.Y. Line, Capt. Jos' McCracken's Co. Feb 1^st 1777 to Oct. 2^nd 1777.

5^th Reg't N.Y. Line 
Col. Lewis Du Bois 
Capt Thos Lee's Company. 
March 15^th 1778 to May 15^th 178[1] 

But we know he was in the army for a much longer time, for grand-mother said he was with Montgomery in his unsuccessful attack on Quebeck on the last day of the year 1775. He stood near Montgomery when he fell, saw him slide down the hill on the snow into a bush. Isaac Van Tine married a Miss Teller. She was older then he. He out-lived her many years and boarded 

He drew a pension for his service in the Revolution. 

He was a talkative man and his anecdotes of the Revolution were very entertaining even as retold by grand-ma to us children.

Grand-father's sister Betsey lived in the house with grand-mother while both of their husbands were in the war. For days together they never saw a man pass their houses. The only men left in a long distance around them was one old man and a foolish young man. The women would nail up their windows an hour before sunset. 

Grand-father walked from New York City where the army was stationed to Fishkill between sunrise and sunset, stayed two or three days and then walked back.

"What makes this record so significant to western Pennsylvania is that the eldest son of John McKellip (Scots-Irish immigrant, settled in Mount Pleasant Twp. (now Adams Co.) died there 14 Sep 1808 age 70). Archibald McKellip along with his wife Catherine Kipp and several members of the McKellip and Kipp families moved from their Gettysburg area homes to settle in Westmoreland and Armstrong Counties Pa. early in the 1810s, and many of their descendants are still to be found there. 

This Bible record was originally submitted by Mrs. Walter F. Hale of Lansing MI and reproduced in the Detroit Society for Genealogical Research Magazine (no date known) who sent same to the compiler. Mrs. Hale is descended from my Catharine Kipp's brother Barnabas Kipp who married my Archibald McKellip's sister Mary McKellip. The family of Kipp's of Gettysburg being of Holland descent, their father John Kipp served in the Revolution."

[Note: From my experience with old documents, I would guess this addition to be written considerably later than the rest of the information . It was difficult to accurately portray the entries separately from editorial notes added in the transcription. All surnames were capitalized and Vantine was capitalized VanTINE making it impossible to know how the name was originally entered. -cy]
