Hey Alice, I know I probably am the one who gave you the Harlingen records in the first place but the only Van Der Veer I'm finding in the cemetery is Anne, b 1791, d 1875, "wife of Abraham Hageman". There are NO Suydams. This is what I have: Hagaman: Abraham b 1843, Catharine b 1820 (1st wife of Aaron D. Meseroll), Elizabeth b 1770 (wife of John Stryker), Maria, b 1789(wife of Cornelius Kershow) Hageman: Abigail, b 1821, Abigail b 1821, Abraham, b 1790, Anna Maria, b 1811, Isaac unk, Maria, b 1781 (wife of Isaac), Sarah, b 1801. Let me know if any of these are of any use to you and I'll give you the death dates.
