Biography

Martha was born about 1655. She passed away before 1700. She was the daughter of Josias Furman and Alice Angelche Beers.

Her date of birth is a very rough calculation based on the fact that she had three sons who must all be age 18 by 1700 (named in her Will), and a daughter not yet 18 that same year.

Martha married first Jacob Reeder, son of John Reeder and Margaret Isackes. Their children:

1. Joseph Reeder
2. Jacob Reeder
3. Josias Reeder
4. Elizabeth Reeder b.aft. 1684

Martha married 2nd Jeremiah Burroughs. No children recorded.

Martha left a will dated 12 Dec 1700 (the will mentioned sons Joseph, Jacob, and Josias REEDER, daughter Elizabeth underage, executors sons Jacob and Joseph). An inventory of the estate of Martha (FURMAN) (REEDER) BURROUGHS was taken on 16 Dec 1700 in Queens Co, NY.
