Barent Jensen Blom born c. 1611 had a son named Jan (John)Barentse Blom born c. 1644. Jan had a son named Barent Jensen Blom born c. 1671 in Brooklyn, NY. Barent Jensen had five sons Garrat, John, Abraham, George, and Jacob. These five sons had at least the following children named in a will and left land in Orange Co., NY : John, Gerrit, George, Abraham and Isaac. One of these five grandsons of Barent Jensen Blom II is probably the father of John Bloom born c. 1740 and died 1806 in Orange Co., NY. I am looking for any information that will help identify John Blooms father.
