There are a couple of profiles for Johannis, one is still a work in progress by me and I will soon seek a merge with the other managed by RR and NNSW (above) which show "Jonannes Syffer (1700 - 1762). The Church records of the Old Dutch Church of Sleepy Hollow are available on line via a link from the "Van Tassel Family History" Page (Thank you Van Tassels). The church records the marriage of Johannis b in Germany (but no date) to Leah Buys the record is dated October 16 1731(record # 95 in the marriage book) Elsewhere in the Church books "Lea Buys" baptism is recorded (05/25/1714), (record #280 in the baptism book.) The church records also evidence various baptisms and marriages for the children of Johannis and Leah from 1732 thru 1755.
