She married, third, January 28, 1698, DAVID PROVOOST, JR., Mayor of New York in 1699, by whom she had no issue.
The following is a copy of entries made in the Spratt family Bible, pub- lished in Amsterdam in 1682, for which I am indebted to the courtesy of Mrs. John Rutherfurd, of Newark, N. J. :
1687. John Spratt of wigton in galloway and Maria de peyster * of Neiw yorcke were married on the 26 of August.
1688. upon wednesday the 16 July between 8 & 9 of the clock in the after- noon was born my daughter Cornelia baptized 18 of July 1688.

(On the next page are these entries in the Dutch language, which are thus translated :)
In the year 1698, the 28th of January, I, David Provoost, was lawfully joined in marriage with Maria Depeyster, widow of John Spratt, of blessed memory.
In the year 1659 was born my wife Maria, between the 4th and 5th of Sep- tember, at 2 o'clock in the night, at New York.
In the year 1701, on the 3ª of May, died in the Lord my beloved wife Maria, in the afternoon, between 6 and 7 o'clock, aged 41 years, 7 months, and 29 days, of which we lived together 2 years, 3 months, and 3 days, until the Lord separated us. She was buried in Col. Abraham De Peyster's vault, in the churchyard.
(ALTHOUGH only connected by marriage with the Varleth family, it is be- lieved that a further account of JOHN and MARIA (DE PEYSTER) SPRATT and their descendants will not be deemed inappropriate in this place. It is corrected, with some additions, from the author's notice of the family in the Genealogical Notes of the Provoost Family, pages 18 and 25.
JOHN SPRATT1 was a native of Scotland, from Wigton in Galloway. The first notice found of him is in the ante-nuptual agreement entered into by him and Maria Schrick, widow, August 5, 1687. He was then a merchant in New York. At the time of this agreement, the parties made a joint will, which was proved January 5, 1696-7; this date of course approximates nearly that of his decease. He became a communicant of the Dutch Church in New York February 29, 1688 ; was an Alderman of the Dock Ward, 1688 and 1689-90 ; one of the Representatives from the city and county of New York, and Speaker of the Assembly, which convened under Leisler's authority in April, 1690. On the 11th of January, 1690, he was commissioned, with others, to hold a Court of Oyer and Terminer and

* MARIA DE PEYSTER, bap. 7th Sept., 1660 [1659] ; espoused, first, PAULUS SCHRICK, &c. (De Peyster Genealogy, pp. 21-2.) It appears that she is not put down as the widow of Paulus Schrick, in the family Bible, but she is so called in the Dutch Church marriage records, and we note in this connection the omis- sion in the Bible of the birth and baptism of CATHARINA SPRATT, her youngest daughter. She was bap. in the Dutch Church, in New York, Oct. 25, 1696, and the sponsors were Cornelis De Peyster and Catharina De Peyster, the wife of Col. Abraham De Peyster.

MARIA VARLETH2, widow of Paulus Schrick, married her third husband, WILLEM TELLER, of Fort Orange (Albany), according to the records of the Ref. Dutch Church of Brooklyn,* May 4, 1664. It would seem from the register of the New York church that they were married April 9, 1664, but this must have been the date of the publication of their marriage banns, as more clearly appears from the time and place at which the following paper was executed :
"In the name of the Lord Amen, be it known that in the year of our Lord Jesus Christ sixteen hundred and sixty-four, the 19th day of April, appeared before me Johannes La Montagne, in the the service of, etc., the honorable Willem Teller, widower of the late Margariet Donckesen, who declares in the presence of the afternamed witnesses, that for God's honor he has contracted a future marriage with Maria Verlet, widow of the late Paulus Schrick, and before the consumation of the same, he, the subscriber, has made up and exhibited for the seven remaining children of Margariet Donckesen (the subscribers late wife), the sum of three thousand five hundred carolus guilders in beaver's price, exclusive of all debts hitherto made, which he undertakes to pay, to be distributed as follows, to wit: to Anderies Teller aged 22 years, Helena Teller 19 years, Martjen ? 16 years, Elysabeth Teller 12 years, Jacob Teller 9 years, Willem Teller 7 years, and Johannes Teller 5 years, being her matrimonial inheritance, and for the payment of the aforesaid sum, the subscriber offers all his estate personal and real, as a pledge and mortgage ; to which end said subscriber appoints, as guardians, the honorable Sander Leendertse Glen t and Pieter Loocker-
* Were they married in Brooklyn or New Amsterdam? I think it probable in the latter place, and by Domine Selyns, who was then the minister at Stuyvesant's Bouwery, as well as of the Brooklyn congrega- tion. His performance of the ceremony accounts for the entry of their marriage in the Brooklyn church records.
