• Notes

  NYGB Vol 108, Number 4, October 1977 verifies his name as Paulus after his paternal grandfather Paulus Micheal Van der Voort. He spent his early life in New Amsterdam and Wallabout section of Brooklyn. The assumption is he went to Maryland wit h his father around 1600 then later moved back to Bedford section of Brooklyn about 1676. He died shortly before the baptism of his youngest son as evidenced by the baptismal records. Since he died before his father one would expect his family to have been taken care of in Michael's will but very likely his father felt that they were provided for having his Brooklyn property.
