WILLIAM TELLER, SEN., and his second wife, MARIA VARETH', had issue, viz. :
8. CASPER TELLER, born at Albany. Certificates dated Sept. 16, 1692, that he had transported men from Albany to New York, with their ac- coutrements, etc., are noticed in the Calendar of N. Y. Hist. MSS., English, from which it may be inferred that he was a skipper on the North River.

Morris Co., N. J., settled there in company with his brother-in-law, Major Anthony Brockholst. They located themselves, according to Mr. Schenck's statement, near to each other, on the east side of the river, just below the steel-works ; Brockholst on the spot where Major William Colfax now re- sides (1871), and Schuyler, as near as can be ascertained, on the site of the residence of Dr. William Colfax. They were thus, in all probability, the pioneers in the settlement of this region, and the first to open up what was then a wilderness, "unless the tradition that Joost Beam settled at Wynockie as early as 1660 is true."*
How long he remained here is not known, but in April 1710, he had become a resident of New Barbadoes Neck,t in Bergen Co., N. J., where he lived until his death, which probably occurred in the latter part of the year 1730. His will is dated Dec. 17, 1724, with codicil Oct. 30, 1730 ; proven February 27, 1730-1. He had issue, twelve children, six by his first wife, and the mother of the others we are unable to identify.

J., was made between him and Harry Brockholst (to whom the right had come from his father) and the sons of Samuel Bayard, the son and heir-at- law of Col. Nicholas Bayard.

VARLETH-VERLETH.
5 iv. CATHARINA VARLETH,2 probably the third daughter of Casper Varleth ' and his wife Judith, was born in Amsterdam, and married, in New Amsterdam, August (?), 1657, FRANCOYS DE BRUYN (BRUYN, BROWNE). It has been supposed by some that this Francoys De Bruyn was identical with Francis Browne, or Frans Bruyn, a soldier at Curacoa in 1643, and living, in 1647, in New Amsterdam ; but they were doubtless different per- sons, as the latter was from Yorkshire, while the former was a native of Amsterdam. Francoys or Francis De Bruyn was a member of the church in New Amsterdam prior to 1660. He removed to New Utrecht, L. I., as early as 1663-was a Schepen there in 1663-1664, and in August, 1673, was appointed Secretary of the Five Dutch Towns on Long Island, and Auctioneer, vice Corteljou, in January following, which is the last notice found of him. His wife, Catharina Varleth, probably deceased before September, 1662-the date of the death of her father. They had the fol- lowing-named children baptized in the Church at New Amsterdam, viz. :
I. CASPARUS DE BRUYN, bap. Sept. 14, 1659. The sponsors at his baptism were Nicholaes Verleth and Otto Bagelaer.
2. AGATHA DE BRUYN, bap. Jan. 26, 1661. The sponsors at her baptism were Johannes De Peyster and Anna Verleth.
3. JACOB DE BRUYN, bap. March 5, 1662. The sponsors at his baptism were Anthony De Mill and Anna Stuyvesants.
6 v. JUDITH VARLETH,2 born in Amsterdam, was probably the youngest daughter of Casper' and Judith Varleth. She resided for some time with her parents at Hartford, Conn., and in 1662 was imprisoned there on a " pretended accusation of witchery." In that year Ann, daughter of John Cole, "who lived near a Dutch family " at Hartford, "was seized in a strange manner with Fits wherein her Tongue was improved by a Demon," &c., who confounded her language, so that she "made Uterances in Dutch of which Language she knew Nothing." * It was probably in this case the accusation of witchery was made against Judith Varleth. Through the interposition of Gov. Stuyvesant she escaped her peril,t and it is re- lated " that as soon as the suspected Witches were executed or fled Mrs. Cole was restored to Health." In happier hour, says the not always pro- saic Mr. Savage, Judith Varleth's power of fascination was sufficient to en- sure her marriage with NICHOLAS BAYARD, one of the patrician families of the neighboring province of New York. She married May 23, 1666, in New York, Nicholas, son of Samuel Bayard and Anna Stuyvesant, born at Alphen, in Holland, who accompanied his widowed mother and uncle, Gov. Petrus Stuyvesant, to New Netherland in May, 1647. In 1654 he was Clerk in the Secretary's office at New Amsterdam, and possessing, with other scholarly attainments, a knowledge of the English language, was appointed, July 1, 1657, English Secretary, and August 16, 1663, was made Commissary of Imports and Exports, vice Jacob Sam, who had returned to Holland. In August, 1673, he was commissioned Secretary of the Prov- ince, and, on the 20th of September following, Receiver-General. He was Mayor of New York in 1685, and for many years a prominent member of
* Drake's Annals of Witchcraft in New England, p. 120-122.
+ Gov. Stuyvesant sent the Deputy Governor and General Court at Hartford, in October, 1662, the fol- lowing letter in her behalf ; " Honored and worthy Sirs : By this occasion of my brother in law [Nicholas Varleth] being necessitated to make a second voyage to ayd his distressed sister, Judith Varlet, imprisoned, as we are informed, upon pretend accusation of witchery, we realey believe, and, out of her well- known education, life, conversation, and profession of faith, we dare assure that she is innocent of such a horrible crimen, and wherefor, I doubt not he will now, as formerly, finde your honour's favor and ayde for the innocent."

the Legislative Council. As the " Dutch head of the English party," he was among the most active of Leisler's opponents, and was imprisoned in the Fort by Leisler's orders for more than a year. Upon the arrival of Gov. Sloughter in New York, he was foremost in urging Leisler's execution. He was tried and condemned to death for high treason in March, 1701 ; but this judgment was reversed by Act of the Legislature during Lord Cornbury's administration. While ostensibly a brewer by occupation, he was from early youth an office-holder, and essentially a politician, with all the name implies. . He died in 1709, leaving a large estate to his widow and only son Samuel; and it may be regarded as a fitting commentary upon the slackness of genealogical and biographical investigations in New York, that among his numerous and respectable descendants, male and fe- male, the biography of a man who filled so large a space in the early his- tory of the Colony remains unwritten. His will is dated May 9, 1707, in which he styles himself " of the city of New York Merchant," and names only his wife Judy, and son Samuel, whom he makes executors of his estate.
NICHOLAS and JUDITH (VARLETH) BAYARD had issue :
I. SAMUEL BAYARD, bap. Sept. 5, 1669 ; m. March 12, 1696, MAR- GARITA VAN CORTLANDT, dau. of Stephanus and Geertruyd (Schuyler) Van Cortlandt ; she was bap. July 29, 1674.

DITELOFSZEN .- DIEDELOOS .- DOREN. (?)
THIS name (not given in the following list of aliases) provokes inquiry, from the different forms in which it appears in the New York Dutch Church Baptismal Register, whether CLAES DITELOFSZEN or DIEDELOOS may not have been the ancestor of the DOREN family. Let us examine the record :
CLAES DITELOFSZEN and his wife Aeltie Samsons had a son Ditelof, bap. Feb. 1, 1662 ; their next child, daughter Catharyn, was bap. Dec. 31, 1664 ; at her baptismn his name is recorded CLAES DUDLOOS ; on the 13th Feb., 1667, their second son Samson was baptized, the father's name being registered CLAES DIEDELOOS. At each of these baptisms, Rutger Wil- lemszen was a sponsor. On the 12th of January, 1681, DIDLOF DOORN (called DOREN in the Baptismal Register), married Elsje Jeuriaens, both living in the city suburbs. I suspect that this Didlof Doren was the eldest son of CLAES DITELOFSZEN, who was bap. Feb. 1, 1662. His first child, Diedlof (I follow the orthography of the record), was bap. May 25, 1681, Rutger Willemszen being present as one of the sponsors. DIEDLOF DOREN's other children were, Claes, bap. Feb. 7, 1683 ; Catharina, bap. May 4, 1684 ; Cornelis, bap. Nov. 1, 1685 ; and Jeuriaen, bap. Sept. 14, 1687.
