Hi! New to the list and looking for information on the origin of the
Joralemon family. Currently fifteen known spellings in this country
including Jerolaman, Jerolamon, Jeroleman, Jerolemon, Jerolleman, Jerolman,
Jerolmon, Jeroloman, Joralemon, Joralman, Joralmon, Jorolemon, Jourolmon,
Gerolemon, and Gerolman. Presumed siblings were:

1. Helmer Janse Joralemon b. 16__.
2. Jacobus Janse Joralemon b. 16__.
3. Jan Janse Joralemon b. 16__.
4. Margrietje b. 16__.

Obviously their father was Jan, but Jan who? This family was in the Albany,
New York area before removing to New Jersey. In various information on the
origin of doughnuts, a Mrs. Anna Joralemon is related to have weighed 225
pounds, opened a store in New York City in 1673 on Maiden Lane and was the
first person to make a business of selling fried dough (doughnuts).
However, I can find no information in actual records relating to her.

1. Helmer Janse Joralemon had marriages banns published 25 Dec 1687 Albany
Dutch Reformed Church to Anneke Lucasz widow of Frans Mennoury.

2. Jacobus Janse Joralemon was living at Bergen, New Jersey as early as Dec
1695 when he purchased 24 acres along the Third River from John Francis and
wife Keshee, had marriage banns published 22 Nov 1696 in Bergen Dutch
Reformed Church to Pietertje Claes baptised 26 Aug 1671 New York Dutch
