        Jacob's son Nicholas Jacobse Vandergrift (1658-1721) was born on May 5, 1658 (280
        years before I was born) in New Utrecht, Long Island. Nicholas married Barentje Janse
        Verkerecken (1658-1739) on August 24, 1684 in New Utrecht, Long Island, aka Brooklyn,
        New York. Barentje Janse Verkerecken was born in 1658 in Bermeizen, Gildenland,
        Netherlands and immigrated in 1663 with her parents, Jan Janse Verkercken (1628-1683) and
        Mayke Gisberts (1632-) to New Utrecht. In 1687, Nicholas took the oath of allegiance to the
        English king, J ames H. They had seven children. Maike Mary Vandergrift, their second child,
        was born in Brenkeisie, Kings, New York in 1689. The Nicholas' extended family, including
        four brothers and widowed mother, moved to Bensalem, Pennsylvania in 1697, about the same
        time the Van Sandt family arrived. In 1710, Nicholas helped establish the Dutch Reformed
        Church in Bensalem and had three of his children baptized there. Not satisfied with
        Pennsylvania, Nicholas exchanged his Bensalem land in 1713 for land in Delaware. He then
        moved to Bohemia Manor, Cecil County, Maryland, to be close to his daughter Maike and her
        husband. Nicholas died in Bohemia Manor, Cecil County, Maryland 1721 and Barentje died in
        1739.
