BIBLE RECORDS.CONTRIBUTED BY HELEN REYNOLDS.
In 1898, Miss Cornelia Van Kleeck of Poughkeepsie, gave to the Daughters of the American Revolution of that place a Dutch Bible, printed in 1718, which was placed in the building known as the "Clinton Museum," owned by the State of New York, and occupied by the Daughters of the American Revolution.
On July 11th, 1898, I copied the family record in this Bible, and now send to the RECORD as a supplement to the material published in July and April last year, as contributed by Mr. Alfred Leroy Becker. I do not recall whether I made a "line upon line" copy, but the names and dates may be relied upon.
It will be seen that Mr. Becker was correct in his supposition that Francis Filkin was born in 1703, not '04.

"January the 27, 1788, then my daughter Cynthia was married.
July the( 4 or5 )day 1798 then her first son was born, named Baltus, and August the 26, 1792 her second son was born (named?) Baltis."
Following, in another hand.
"My son Leonard B. Van Kleeck was born April 18,1787.
"M) daughter Margaret An Kleeck was born Nov 6,1790
Leonard B Van Kleeck and his sister Margaret, (afterward the wife of John Guy Vassar Sr.), were children of Baltus Van Kleeck by his fourth wife Rhoda Dutcher. His third wife was Josyntha Corsa, and they had daughter Cynthia Lewis,who married,second Sept 21, 1733, Francis Filkin.
This Bible therefore came intro the possession of the VanKleek family by marriage of Francis Filkin to the widow of Peter VanKleek.
Frans Hegeman and Antjen uwaart Tugaard, his wife appear upon the records of the Dutch church, Poughkeepsie in 1740 and 1742 as witnesses to baptisms.
