Hi all, Thanks for this. Re. the bap. of Jacob and the witness Herman Heynrix -- In 1647 (probably Aug.), there was recorded a “Power of Attorney from Jacob Hendricksen Kip to his uncle Harman Hendricksen Drooch to receive money due him by the West India Company.” It also says Harman is residing in Amsterdam. See: New York Historical Manuscripts: Dutch; Vol. II, Register of the Provincial Secretary 1642 – 1647; Translated by Arnold J. F. van Laer (1974), pp. 472 –473 [original item # 163f] So, it looks like the witness at the bap. _was_ the childs uncle; and later Jacob reached out to him to try to get what he was owed by the DWIC. O’Callaghan in his Calendar of Dutch Mss. (p. 40) has the uncle as Harman Hendricksen Droogh. I’m curious, what does Drooch/Droogh mean?
