Joachim Lammertse Van Valkenburg is a DAR Patriot Ancestor, A119055.
Joachim Lammertse Van Valkenburg performed Patriotic Service in New York in the American Revolution.
Joachim Lambert was baptized on 14 January 1710 in the Reformed Dutch Church of Albany, New York, recorded as the child of Isaac Valkenburg and Lydia Van Slyk. Witnesses were Henrik Vroman and Rachel Ratteliffe. [1] He is the son of Isaac Van Valkenburg and Lydia Van Slyck.
Records for his subsequent life events are scarce. He resided in Schoharie, Albany County, New York, and was married three times. Records have been found for only one of his marriages; evidence for the earlier wives comes from other sources. The first wife was Helena Warnar, who is named in the 1739 baptism record for their son Harmen. The second wife was Susan Magdalena Warner, who was baptized in 1727 and is mentioned in Schoharie church records. It has been suggested that Helena and Susanna Magdalena may have been the same person, but Susanna Magdalena would not have been old enough to be the mother of the child baptized in 1739.[2]
Joachim Lammertse Van Valkenburg married Maria Berri, his third wife, in Schoharie, New York, on 14 January 1749.[3][4]
Joachim provided Patriotic Service during the American Revolution when the Army camped on his farm in 1779.[5]
Joachim is reported to have been killed by Indians in October 1781.[2]

Research Notes
What is the source of the following?
Joachim, along with two of his sons were killed during the Revolutionary War. His daughter, Lydia (Van Valkenburg) Klein was the Widow of Jacob Klein, a Revolutionary War Soldier and she reported this information on her Revolutionary War Pension application dated 10th day of December 1836 aged 78 years. She died 28th of November 1842. On July 4th 1933 a letter was received by Mr. A. D. Hiller, of the Veterans Administration in Washington, D.C. produced by Jay Boyd Myers of 5 Arlington Ave. Relay, Maryland asking for information about his Great Great Grandfather Joachim Van Valkenburg. He wrote that Joachim was a "soldier in the Revolutionary War and was living at the junction of the Schenevus Creek and Susquehanna River not far from Harpersfield, New York. He was killed at the battle of Summit Lake by a band of Indians & Tories under Joseph Brant, Indian leader of the Mohawks.
