After the death of Matheis Merkel we find his children making the following obligation to Margriet their mother; Know all men by these presents that we Fredrick Merkle, Johannis Merkle, Tury Hommel Jun., and Teanes Shue Jun., all of the County of Ulster and State of New York, William Merkle, Matthew Merkle, Lawrence Merkle and Hendrick Hendricks, all of the County of Albany and State of New York.

William Merkle Christz Tappan Matthew Merkle Lawrence Merkle Hendrick XX Hendricks His Mark While the writer of this document spells the name Merkle, not all of the family are able to sign their own names. Matthews signature seems to spell it Merkel while Lawrence spelled it Marical and his e could be mistaken for a. Williams signature is very hard to distinguish just as it is on Lawrence's baptism record.
