Hi Nancy Benjamin HERRING (c1675-bef1712) married Mary JANSEN before 1700, with two known children, Benjamin (c1700-c1767) and Martha ( -1757). Martha was the second wife of John FRED. Benjamin married Neeltje van SCHAIK (1703- ) on 20 Aug 1721 with two children, Arie (1722) and Maria (1725). He next married Wyndlyna van GORCUM on 30 Mar 1734 in Curacao, with five children, Jan Fred (1742-1779), Judick ( -aft1792), William (aft1734-aft1794), Maria and Benjamina ( –aft1794). Arie married Jannetje van HOEK with two children, Isaac and Benjamin. Jan Fred married Lucretia van DEURSEN as I said in my earlier post. William married Anna PEERS. Do any names ring a bell? I'm sure US researchers can be more accurate than I with the above lines.
