Hendrick "Henry" Bouiler (original spelling) Beyea, Bulyea, Belyea all same family son of Helena Williamse Bouiler wife of Jan Bouiler. 2nd wife Engeltie Storm widow of Abraham Jurckse (changed to Yerxa in New Brunswick) Bouilier-Bouiler-Bolye- same family.
Fairly sure the LNAB here should be Williams and the OLN (aka) would be Wiliemse.
Thank you.
