Biography

Isaac (van Deventer) Vandeventer is one of twins.

Isaac and his twin brother Abraham were baptized on 5 September 1697 in the Reformed Protestant Dutch Church of Flatbush, Kings County, Long Island, New York, recorded as the children of Piter van Deventer and Mayke van Deventer. Witnesses for the double baptism were Hendrick Ryke, Joost van Brunt, Ytie Hendricks, and Aaltie van Brunt.^[1][2] A second baptism record for these same twins also appears in the register of the Reformed Dutch Church of New York, with a date of 12 August 1704.^[3] Their parents were Pieter Jansen (VanDeventer) Van Deventer and Mayke Christianse (van Doorn) van Deventer.^[4]

The second baptism of the twins is explained by the fact that the 1697 baptism was not recorded by the pastor in the usual book, but instead was entered on a loose sheet of paper (documented as Flatbush paper No. 6828) along with some other baptisms, possibly with an intention to copy them into the regular book. The loose paper was found some years later among the pastor's effects. In the meantime Pieter and his family had moved from Flatbush to Monmouth County, New Jersey. Apparently the parents wanted a permanent record of the twins' baptisms, so they had them baptized in the New York Dutch Church.^[5]

Isaac married Saartje Cowenhoven by about 1730, probably in Raritan, New Jersey.

Their children were:^[6]
