Abraham Vinck Acting as another Grumé Baptism Witness in Haarlem, 1675.

 

Abraham Vinck was a witness for a baptism June 1, 1675. The child's name was Johannes van Merefoort. The parents were Marijtje Gramé and husband Hendrik Abrahamse van Merefoort. Gramé has been used as an alternate spelling of Grumé.

Daniel's parents Alselme Grumé and Elizabeth Vinck had a daughter, Marie, baptized in the Walloon Church, June 1634. She would have been 40 years old in June 1675. Abraham Vinck, baptized 30 May 1610 in Amsterdam, the son of painter Abraham Willemsz Vinck, was 65 years old in 1675. This is further evidence that Abraham Vinck was the son of Abraham Willemsz Vinck, brother of Elizabeth, uncle to her and husband Alselme's children, and great uncle to the child Jonathan, who was a grandson of Alselme and Elizabeth. This baptism in 1675 was not held at the Walloon church. It took place at a Reformed Calvinist Church, in Haarlem where services were conducted in Dutch, rather than French at Walloon Churches.

The Roots of Daniel Crumb of Westerly, Rhode Island by Bill J. Smith

Daniel Crumb (Crumbe) was first documented in Rhode Island in 1668, i when he was a young adult. It has long been assumed that Crumb was of English or Scottish origin.  This piece is an attempt to examine a different version of the roots of Daniel Crumb, as a result of the digitalization of 17th-century baptism archival records in the Netherlands and what they can tell us.  At the end of this topic, Y-DNA results for a straight-line DNA project for Crumb-surnamed men with the common ancestor William Crumb Sr., son of Daniel Crumb of Westerly, are discussed.   To properly explain this, I must include details of my father's Walloon, Huguenot, and Dutch ancestry in America, because it is intrinsic to understanding how I arrived at certain conclusions, regarding Daniel Crumb's highly probable family background.  Please click on the endnote numbers, to see relevant information.   Nancy Crum b ii (1783-1886) iii was born in Westerly, R.I., where the Crumb family began in America

John MacBayne (Bean) of Scotland: British POW sent to New Hampshire and sold into bondage.

  John MacBean was born 1634 in Strathdearn, Inverness-shire, Scotland. In the spring of 1650, when Oliver Cromwell threatened to invade Scotland, great numbers of Scottish highlanders enlisted to defend their homeland. The Scots lost the Battle of Dunbar on September 3, 1650, but exactly a year later, a reorganized Scottish army prepared to fight Cromwell at what became known as the Battle of Worcester. It was during this battle, that at the age of sixteen, John was a soldier in General Monk’s army, roughly 12,000 Royalist, Scottish troops. On September 3, 1651, they went forth with the design to place Charles II as king on the throne which was vacant by the execution of his father King Charles I. Charles II failed to provide the ammunition he had promised, and during the 10 hour battle that ensued, roughly 3,000 Royalists were killed and 7,000 taken prisoner, likely at Tuthill Fields prison in London. On November 11, 1651, the ship “The Sarah and John” with 272 of these prisoners abo
