Teller, Willem, the first settler, merchant of New York, aged about 78y. in a deposition made July 6, 1698, said that he arrived in this Province in the year 1639, was sent to Fort Orange, by Kieft, served there as corporal, and then was advanced to be Wachtmeester of the fort ; that he had continued his residence at Albany, from 1639, to 1692, with some small intermissions upon voyages to New York, Del- aware and one short voyage to Holland.
