Notes: Elizabeth Damen was bapt. 9/20/1676 New Amsterdam R. D. Church daughter of Jan Cornelis Damen and Fytie (Sophia) Martens Notes:

This is additional data I should add to my previous entry in case someone out there is a relative. Lucas J. Schermerhorn (youngest son of Jacob Janse Schermerhorn and Sophia Martens) married Elizabeth Damen whose Father was a very early settler of Brooklyn and an original signer for the Patton of Brooklyn. Lucas and Elizabeth had two daughters who married Selover/Slover half brothers, sons of Isaac Slover, schoolmaster. Daniel Slover was the son of Isaac Slover and his third wife Judith Waldron. Daniel Slover married Helenah Schermerhorn in New Jersey, 9/3/1726. Helenah was born in Kingston, New York. Daniel and Helenah Schermerhorn Selover/Slover are my ancestors. This reference is taken from the Selover/Slover Family History Second Edition by Mabel Jacques Hadler 1968. I have recently joined D.A.R. and a lot of family research was involved. I hope you can add this to my previous submission. Thanks. Madelyn A. (Selover) Evans

I keep sending in corrections for Jacob Janse Schermerhorn. He was married to Jannetje Egmont. Lucas Schermerhorn their son and also my ancestor was married to Elizabeth Damen daughter of Jan Cornelis Damen and Sophia (Fyte) Martens. I hope you can put all these additions and corrections together with my original bit of information.

Note from Lorine: It is MUCH easier for me if submitters would send me an email when they have made a correction. Please try to imagine how much time it takes me to correct bits and pieces when I have not been informed there are additional entries with corrections. Also, it is extremely difficult for me to make corrections in this way as I have to read the submissions within the html coding and attempt to figure out who has made duplicate entries and who has made a correction. Not much fun, really, and after hours of this, Submitters may find their entries deleted instead of corrected as my time and my patience grows shorter....

Please refer to my FAQ or write me if unsure how to update or correct entries.
