Gideon brought along a nephew who was his brothers son but the brother's and nephew's mane is not known in 1995.
This was copied from the Holland Society of New York's Yearbook of 1902, page 22. This French Hugenot family had fled to Holland earlier because of religious persecution. Their ancestors had held high government positions in France.
Gideon was a constable at Dover Staten Island New Amsterdam in 1671. In 1674 he was a magistrate under Governor Colve. In 1683 he was on the list of early settlers in Piscataway and Woodbridge, New Jersey.
