Sponsors Dirk Langstraet and Johanna Havens (his wife). Peter Lott of New Yor bapt. Oct. 31, 1697, at Jamaica, was a son of Abrahm and Claesje Lott. The records show that Abraham moved to Jamaica where his brother Hendrick lived just before this last date. Isaac Lott, 1704, was a son of Abraham and his 2nd wife Geertje. This appears to be their only child. Abraham Lott must have married his third wife Sara, between Isaac’s birth 1704, and Jacob’s birth 1716. Between 1716 and 1718, he had again married for a fourth time, Maria or Marytie, as his last three children were born 1718-20-22. The Dutch Reformed Church, Brooklyn, marriages gives Aug. 2, 1695, as the date of Abram Lott’s marriage to Geertje Jans Dorlandt. The date is what is wrong, many errors appear in the copies of the early records. If it read 1699, everything would check.
