• Notes

  According to "The Batdorf Family" by Maxine Blankendorf Bennett, 1984, Johannes Zeller was born 1686 in France and was the younger of the two sons of Jacques and Clothilde (de Valois) de Sellaire. Jacques Zeller died at Sea on the Way Over to America. Only Chlothilde Zeller (the mother) and the two sons, Johannes and John Heinrich, arrived in New York 1710. The Zeller family were French Huguenots and had to flee France for fear of death. It was while in Holland they changed their name to Zeller. The Memorial on the burial site was put in by the Zeller Family, to Commemorate the first Zeller to America-- Clothilde, and her two sons, John Henry and John George. And to Jacques Zeller, who took his family to America but died at sea and never made it to see the New World. In "A Collection of Thirty Thousand Names of German, Swiss,French, Dutch, and other immigrants in Pennsylvania 1727-1776...", by I Daniel Rupp, 1876, Appendix VII : In the List of Male Palatines that were over 21 years of age and went to Livingston Manor NY the Winter of 1710 and Summer 1711, included on page 447 are: --Hans Henrich Zeller (on the Zeller memorial as John Henry) -Johannes Zeller - (the Zeller family believes that John George Zeller, on the Zeller memorial (see picture of Monument) is Johannes Zeller) Married Anna Maria Catharina Anspach, "widow of John Jacob Peter Batdorf" in 1712 in Schoharie NY.
