Biography

Johannes Vermilje

Marriages

Johannes Vermilje married Sarah Odell on Oct. 29, 1713. On the same day, his sister Hannah Vermilye married her brother John Odell. The marriages were recorded at the Manhattan, Reformed Dutch Church of NY.^[1]

Sarah Odell Vermilje died, about 1733, possibly from complications in delivering daughter Rebeckah.

Johannes/John Vermilyea then married Marytje DeBruyn/Brown Bussing, the widow of Johannes Bussing. (Johannes Bussing was the nephew of Johannes Vermilyea, as it happened.) This must have happened about 1735, but no record of the event has yet surfaced.
