Looking for something else, I just happened to run across an article on the Terhune Family by Teunis Bergen in NYGBR vol 11, p. 159 ff. For Albert Albertse Jr. he mentions a purchase of land in Hackensack on the Passaic River, but admits it is hard to tell whether it was Albert Albertse Sr. or Jr. who bought the land. He doesn't give a date, but you might find it in NJ Archives vol. XXI. As he mentions, A.A. Jr. is on the 1683 tax list for Flatlands. Bergen says that he was a member of RDC at Hackensak in 1689. Those records have been printed, but I don't have easy access. As I recall there is either member info or consistory info or both at the front, which does not seem to be indexed. The last child he shows bp. at Flatbush is Marretie on 31 Oct 1686. This is shown in Voorhees' book. The next child, Rachel, he shows bp. 20 Aug 1690, but does not say where. You should look for her bp. in those pub. Hackensack records. He shows 5 more children baptised between 1695 and 1705 (no place shown) and only the next one has a full date, the others years only. However, he also shows a 7 Aug 1684 bp. (when they should have been at Flatlands) that I cannot find. So, he may have some bible or other source and you may not find them in Hackensack; but it would be worth looking. In case you want his will, the abstract is on in WNYHS 2:29, with corrections on 16:56 adding children "Annell and Gerbrect" and correcting his name to Terhunen from Terhuness.
