Here is part of the confusion.
The DRC records at Acquackanonk, I, Book 54, page 391, lists the birth of three children of Johannes Doremus and Elisabeth Akkerman: Abraham bo. Jan., 1714, ba. Jan 23, 1714 with witnesses Abraham Akkerman and Aeltje Van Laar; Aeltje bo. June 3, 1718, ba. June 19, 1718 with witnesses Andries Hoppe and Abigail Akkerman; Cornelis bo. Sept. 7, 1722, ba. Sept. 30, witnesses Hendrik Doremus and Antje Hesselse. Because the children in this part of the Acquackanonk register are listed in batches it does not have a strictly chronological order to know how they were handling calendar changes from December to January.
The DRC records at Hackensack, Book 62, page 194, shows the baptism of Abram on Jan. 23, 1715 (no birth date given) to Johannes Doremus and Elisabet Ackerman, witnesses Abram Ackerman and Aeltie his wife. This page shows a clear change from baptisms in Dec. 1714 and baptisms in Jan. as being in 1715.
William Nelson, in The History of the City of Paterson and the County of Passaic, New Jersey, 1900, page 335, says Johannes Doremus and Elisabeth Ackerman’s child Abram was bap. Jan 23, 1715 (no birth date mentioned).
Pat Wardell in her file on the Doremus family acknowledges the discrepancy. She notes under Johannes Doremus and Elisabeth Acerman that their child Abraham was “b. 2. Jan 1714; bp. 23 Jan 1714 Acquackanonk Ref Ch (wit: Abraham Ackerman, Aeltje Van Laer) (bp. also recorded Hackensack 23 Jan 1715).”
