[S23] Steve Mabie, Steve Mabie, Chronology of Records for the Descendants of Jan Pieterse Mebie ; Url: http://maybeesociety.org/steve/JanPieterse/JanPieterseMebie.htm, This data is taken from Jacob's family bible, apparently written in the first person by him. This bible record states that the marriage was performed by Dom. Johan Casparius Lappius, who was then serving as the minister for the Reformed German Church in Sand Hill (Canajoharie). The early baptism and marriage records for this church have not survived. Therefore, this bible is used to document this marriage and most of Jacob's children. This bible record, written in German, has been mis-interpreted by some as indicating that the wife of Jacob was named "Ehle Veronica Christina Van de Edward." This is an incorrect translation. It is also worth noting that nothing has been found that would indicate that Christina's surname was "Fetland", as some books indicate. [S58] Margaret Schmell MacNabb; Katherine W.
