David VANDERHEYDEN was born in Albany, New York in about 1728. He was the son of David VANDERHEYDEN born Albany in 1696 and Geertry VISSCHER. I have seen records that state that the wife of David, born 1728, was Mrs Poyer VANDERHEYDEN. She was born about 1735. I have what I need for now on the ancestry of the VANDERHEYDEN family. My particular interest is in David junior and his wife. There are records of him trading in America in the 1750s and 1760s although his son was born in England in 1759. David died in England in 1805. A report of his death in the Gentleman's Magazine states that he was 'formerly of the East India Company's civil service' (the British Government of India). I don't know how he had time to pursue both these careers! Can anyone tell me where and when David and Poyer married, anything about Poyer's ancestry and anything about David that I cannot find by searching the web? David Railton
