Migration

After living in Middelburg for many years, the family decided to emigrate to America. The date of their departure is not known, neither is the name of the vessel on which they sailed known, nor is the date of their arrival in this country known. Probably they left Middelburg sometime after 7 Sept. 1684, the date Johannes was bapt., and sometime before 11 Apr. 1687, the date Thomas was baptized., son of Cornelis Doremus, of Middelburg, and Jannetje Joris, of Elsland. This is the earliest date of record found here in the church records at Bergen, New Jersey. ^[3]

Cornelis Doremus was a Planter, and in 1708 he purchased an extensive farm at Wesel [now Paterson], containing one hundred and fifty acres, whereupon he settled his family. In 1711 he purchased a much larger farm on Wesel Mountain, containing approximately three hundred and fifty acres, as previously mentioned. Upon this tract, he settled his son Thomas, while he remained always on his farm at Wesel. Here he d. ca. 1715. No account has been found of the d. of Jannetje (Joris) Doremus, his widow. ^[3]
