(The Teller Line).
( 1) Willem Teller, son of Romanus Teller, was the first ancestor of the family in New Netherland. He was born in 1620. According to a deposition made July 6, 1698, when sev- enty-eight years of age he arrived at New York in the summer of 1639, and was sent by Governor Kieft to Fort Orange, where he served as corporal, and afterward was made wachtmeister of the fort. He lived in Albany from 1639 to 1692, with small intermissions in voyages to New York, Delaware, and one to Holland. He was a trader about fifty years in Albany, from whence he moved with his sons

to New York in 1602. He was one of the earliest proprietors of Schenectady in 1662, but probably never resided there, and was one of the five patentees named in the first patent of the town, in 1684. He died in 1701. In his will, made March 19, 1669, he mentions six children as living: Andries, Helena, Elizabeth, Willem, Johannes and Jannetje. Although a prosperous merchant, the inventory of his property only amounted to 910 pounds, 10 shil- lings 2 pence. There is reason to believe that he distributed most of his property to his chil- dren before making the will. He married Mar- garet Duncassen, who died before 1664, in which year he made a marriage contract ( April 9) with Maria Varlett, widow of Paulis Schrick. She died in 1702, and her estate in- ventoried one thousand two hundred and sev- enty-five pounds twelve shillings and nine pence. He and his wife were among the first members of the old Dutch Church at Fort Or-
ange (Albany), their names being on the first records of the church. He endowed it with funds to maintain it. In the church tower a panel of glass bore his coat-of-arms. Children : 1. Andries, for many years a magistrate in Albany; married Sophia, daughter of Oloff Stevense Van Cortlandt, May 6, 1671, in New York, whither he soon after moved. 2.

July 26, 1670, his wife Maria had a suit against Dominie Schlaetz, as to the ownership of a negro slave. In 1678 Willem Teller acci- dentally killed an Indian squaw with a gun he had taken from the wall as she entered the door. A trial was held May 16, 1678. There were several Indian witnesses. During the trial he was confined at his house. He was acquitted. On May 21, 1681, his stepdaugh- ter, Susanna Schrick, married Captain An- thony Brocksholes, commander-in-chief of the military forces of the colony, and who acted as governor during the absence of Governor Andros. On December 9, 1681, Willem Teller has a dispute with the magistrate as to Gab- riel's house, where powder was stored. In 1684 the town was divided into six wards, and he was chosen representative, the election being held in the court house, June 3. On October 7, 1684, he was continued as a justice of the peace.
