The Fonteyn/Fountain name. The Antoine/Anthony Fountain family was a separate family, no connection to the Fonteyn Family of New York and New Jersey even though at times Fonteyn was misspelled as Fountain. Antoine alias Anthony Fountain was of Staten Island, Richmond County New York. I briefly mention this on the first page in my article Which Charles Fountyn? appearing in the 2990-2010 publication of the New Netherland Connection. All of Anthony's male descendants apparently remained on Staten Island during the Fonteyn family years in New Jersey. I suggest that would be the place to check.
