Biography

Abraham was a son of Jochem Lambertse Van Valkenburg and Eva Hendrickse Vroman, born about 1680 in Albany County, New York. The Van Valkenburg Family genealogy states that he and four of his brothers were baptized in Albany on 4 July 1684,[1] but this baptism does not appear in the records of the Albany Reformed Dutch Church.

Abraham Van Valkenburg married Catelyntje Schermerhoorn in the Albany Reformed Dutch Church in 1706. The couple registered banns on 18 May 1706 and a certificate of their marriage was returned to the church on 2 June 1706. [2] Catelyntje was a daughter of Jacob Jacobse Schermerhorn and Geertjie Hendrickse Van Buren.[3]

Research Notes

LNAB

Van Valkenburg is the surname recorded for Abraham at his marriage, his first record. Capitalization of the preposition "van" is incorrect and has been corrected per project naming conventions. [13]

Van Valkenburg-588 and Van Valkenburg-393 appear to represent the same person because: These are the same Abraham Van Valkenburg who is the father of Jannetje Van Valkenburg who married Johannes Van Loon (the latter's name is sometimes misspelled "Hannes."
