A fifth child, Bergen Brokaw, bapt 04 Dec 1755 Raritan Church,  was attached to this family in the book, "Our Brokaw-Bragaw Heritage" by Elise E. Foster, 2005.  This information had come from an amateur researcher who was a descendant of the son, Abraham Brokaw.  Elsie E. Foster says she was told, "Abraham Berca (Brokaw) and wife Mareyte baptized a son, Bergoen, at the Raritan Dutch church."  However, the baptisms referred to are listed below and do not belong to this family.
