Notes |
- From the Mss. marriage records of the Tappan Church (NYG&B.Soc. Lib) we find the following item (p-99).
"June 1, 1789 Peter Willse and Famiche Gisnaer, both of Tappan were married." This shows that a Famiche Gesnaer married a Peter Willse as stated in the Gesner Genealogy, but it does not establish her parentage. It seems queer that in a family where the baptisms of 9 children are duly and chronologically registered that the baptism of the 10th should not likewise be recorded. It is noted that her date of birth is given in Gesner Genealogy, and while this date of birth as there given harmonizes with the marriage date, yet I am not convinced that this Famiche Gesner was the daughter of John (2), son of Hendrick Gesner, and give this record soley on the authority of the Gesner Genealogy."
