Coenraad is believed to have come to America from Rotterdam aboard the ship Rebecca in 1804. Since his fourth child, Anna Margaretha, was born in 1804, and his next child, John, in 1808, it seems likely that Coenraad went to New York on his own and later sent for his family. His surname first appears as MERKLEE in the baptismal record for his daughter Maria Elisabeth (by his second wife) and remains MERKLEE though the baptismal records of the subsequent three children. In the baptismal record of his son Carel Fredrik MERCKLE (by his first wife, Elisabeth HUIJBERS), Coenraad's surname appears as MERCLE. He was living on the Pijpenmarkt (market for pipes) at the time of his second marriage.
He married Margaretha MEERKARD, abt 13 Apr 1798 in Amsterdam, Holland.

65 Margaretha MEERKARD. Born abt 1770 in probably Hessenkassel, Germany. Died on 9 Jul 1838 in New York, NY. Buried in German Lutheran Church, New York, NY.
The marriage record from the Amsterdam archives states Margaretha's parents were deceased at the time of her marriage to Coenraad. The Amsterdam baptismal records for her children give her name as Anna Elisabeth MEERKARD, Margaretha MERCARD, Anna Margaretha MEERKART, and Margaretha MEERKART. Margaretha was living in the Egelantiersgracht (an area or street in Amsterdam) at the time of her marriage to Coenraad.
