Parent-Proof notes for Benjamin (Spouse 1)
I know when Benjamin was born from his tombstone and I’m sure he was the minor son of that name mentioned by Claus Jansen in his 1739 will. I think it highly unlikely that Claus (Sr. born in 1658) had Benjamin at age 71. This is why I believe there was a Claus Jr.
Children Names notes for Benjamin (Spouse 1)
Buried with he and wife Elizabeth was Mary Johnson who died 18 Aug 1799 age 25 years, 9 months -- thus born about Dec 1773.
