[1]Before me, Cornelis van Tienhoven, secretary of New Netherland, appeared Leendert Arentsz, aged forty-four years, and Barent Jacobsz, aged thirty-four years, who at the request of Jan Jansz Schepmoes jointly attest, testify and declare, in place and with promise of a solemn oath if necessary and required, that it is true and truthful that they arrived here in the year 1638 in the ship Den Dolphyn, on board of which were then also Jan Schepmoes, his wife and two children, of which children during the voyage one received half rations and the younger, being a sucking babe, never received any ship’s food. All of which they, the deponents, offer to confirm. Done in Fort Amsterdam in New Netherland, the 12th of January 1645.
