Nixon’s (6th) Regt; Continental Army pay accounts for service from Jan. 1, 1780, to Dec. 31, 1780; reported as serving 3 mos. 13 days as Lieutenant, 8 mos. 17 days as Captain; also, communication dated West Point, June 5, 1781, signed by Calvin Smith, Lieutenant Colonel Commandant, stating that said Wattles, Lieutenant, 6th Mass. Regt., had been taken prisoner by the enemy in 1779, whereby he was deprived of the opportunity of promotion; that having been exchanged he had rejoined the regiment in which there was a vacancy for a Captain; that said Wattles was entitled to the position, and requesting that his appointment, if approved, might date from April 13, 1780; ordered in Council June 11, 1781, that a warrant be issued to said Wattles; reported commissioned April 13, 1780; also, power of attorney, dated Feb. 15, 1785, signed by John Taylor, authorizing said Wattles, of New York, N.Y., to collect his wages.

Van Deursen Family

This genealogy was compiled by Captain Albert Harrison Van Deursen in 1912. It traces the descendants of Abraham Pietersen (Van Deursen), who was was born in Haarlem, Holland, where he was baptized November 11, 1607, in the Dutch Reformed Church.

"It is probable that Abraham Pietersen and his wife left Haarlem for America very soon after their marriage, as no baptismal records of any of their children are found at that place between 1630 and 1635, and he is known to have been in New Amsterdam, now New York, in 1636, when he was recorded as 'of Haarlem.'"

"Abraham Pietersen lived on the Heerewegh Straat, or Broadway, New Amsterdam, where he carried on the occupation of miller and innkeeper, trading also in land and cattle. The date of his death is not known."

The original text is available at the NEHGS Library and to NEHGS members via the circulating library. The call number is CS71/V243/1912.
