Notes:

In regard to the marriage with Joan Smith, in history of New Netherland of O'Callaghan, Vol. ll, page 222, a foot note says:
"We find it recorded of him, that he was married in April, 1648, at Flushing, to Joan Smith, by Wm Hark, (or Hart), then Sheriff of that place, against the consent of the woman's parents, and without being legally authorized so to do by the Supreme Authority." "As this is an indecent and never heard-of manner of marrying," the sheriff was fined 600 carolus guilders, and "the indecent marriage" was declared null and void. To prevent the daughters of honest and respectable inhabitants being married against the will and without the consent of the parents, by unlawful and unauthorized persons, the bride and bride-groom were fined 300 gl. and ordered to have their marriage again solemnized after three previous proclamations of banns, which was accordingly done."
