Before me, Cornelis van Tienhoven, secretary of New Netherland, appeared Marritjen Lives, aged 38 years, and Engeltje Mans, aged 20 years, wife of Borger Jorisz, who at the request of Laurens Cornelisz attest, declare and testify, with promise and offer of an oath, that it is true that they, having heard that Hillegont Joris was confined of a daughter, immediately went thither, finding Annitjen Buys, Pietertjen Jans and some other women there, who said to them, the deponents: "Guess who the father of this child is!" Thereupon the deponents answered: "Jan, the pilot of the Sevenster." Whereupon Hillegont Joris immediately said: "That is true, Jan is the father of the child." Which they offer to confirm. Done the 1st of July A°. 1644, in New Netherland.
