Cynthia:

To clarify...

--Maria Davids' origins are unknown to me.
--Maria Davids married William Tornel, an Englishman.
--William Tornel is not identical with Willem-2 Willemse (Willem-1
Gerritszen).
--Van der Linde was the author of "Old First Dutch Reformed Church of
Brooklyn."

Perry,
We have established that the Anna/Hannah Willemse who mrd Marten Pieterse
Wyckoff is the dau of Willem Willemsen and Mary/Maria ____ . Are you then
saying:
a. This Mary/Maria is of the Davids family and her spouse, Willem Willemsen
is AKA William 'Tornel,' an Englishman?
b. Is this possible one and the same "Willem" a Van Der Linde?
