[edit] A Note on Birth Year
It would be more correct to give his birth year as 'c. 1678', but almost all refernces simply use the straight date, with no qualification. The family bible survives, with a notation (in Dutch) that he was baptized in September, 1678. So, I chose to go with the norm and give the year as unambiguous. The practice at the time in the Dutch Reformed Church was to baptize very young infants, usually a few weeks old at the outside. Lou I 22:50, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)
