- Original immigrant to New Netherlands, no passenger record for him has ever been found, so the exact date of arrival is unknown. His will abstract confirms his origins as Haarlem. It was written 21 Jan 1720/1.

He is recorded as a member of the Dutch Church in Albany in 1683, however,land records indicate they lived in Kinderhook. It is possible that they lived in both places, or traveled between the two often due to his living, as his father-in-law ran goods down the Hudson river often, maybe Adam was the manager of that trade.
