Richard, I have no information on Jan Jurrianse Becker and his family in Albany or elsewhere. You'll find the Antonius/Tunis Becker I'm referring to on p.40 of Jones' PFNY 1710. He had 3 documented children with Anna Eva Dick, all sponsored by Herders: Wilhelm - 16 Apr 1745 Germ. RC sp. Wilhelm Herder [bt 1721 Goderoth, Germany son of Joh. Philip Harter] and [wife] Maria [Margaretha Linck] Herderin. Wilhelm md. Christina Jager and had 8 ch. bt. at Manorton and Linlithgo, inc. sons Wilhelm 1778 and Henrich 1781, as well as an unnamed ch. in 1775, but none are really old enough to be the father of Margaret in 1792, unless it’s the 1775 "son" and she was born 1795. Christina - 26 Dec 1746 Germ. RC sp. Nicolaus Dick and Christina [Herder, bt. 1718 Goderoth, dau. of Joh. Philip]. Joh. Henrich -17 Apr. 1755 Linlithgo RC sp. Hendrick Bernhard and Anna Maria Herder [bt. 1723 Goderoth dau. of Joh. Philip]. Henrich]. Henrich had at least 2 children with Anna Maria Herder, bt. 1756 Germantown RC dau. of Joh Peter Herder & Anna Maria Schaffer: Anna (illegitimate) 1777 Germ. RC, Petrus 1778 Manorton. I’m pretty sure Tunis who md. Catherine Best fits in this group. (I said Elizabeth last post). They were md 1797 Clav. and had Gritje 1797 Clav, Christina 1799 Linl, Another Tunis md. Maria/Polly Gardner and had Getty Jane 1822 Germ., David Rd. 1820 Churchtn, Yet another Tunis md. Catherine and had Mary 1806 at Manorton. Of course there are many other Beckers from the Albany and Palatine families around; I can’t figure them all out. Jim

Hi Jim, It appears that we are looking for two different Becker families. I can see your family in Hank Jones' books. Jan Jurrianse Becker came to America around 1660. I am related to Jan Jurrianse and his wife. If I had to make a guess, I would say that Gertrude Maria BECKER and Margaret BECKER were from the Dutch family and not the Palatine family. Richard
