-------------------------
This Tjereck Van Keuren may not be he who many believe it is. This Tjereck died 11 June 1825. His stone clearly indicated he was 65-11-1 day old. This calculates to a birth of about 10 July, 1759. The only Tjereck on record being born near that date is:

Tjereck Van Keuren born 20 June 1760 in Kingston, Ulster, New York, who died in Shawangunk Township, Ulster, New York, on 11 June 1825, is the son of Abraham Van Keuren 1711-1776 and his wife Gerritjen Nieuwkerk 1724-1804. He married Catharina Swart 1759-1831, in Kingston on 30 May 1784. They had children: Abraham G 1784-1858; Alida b.1786; Moses 1788-1813; Gerritje b.1791; Levi 1793-1866; Marytje b. 1798; Benjamin Bogardus 1801-1873; and Elizabeth b.1803. Catharina's grave lies nearby. I am unable to explaine why the calculated birth-date and the recorded birth-date differ by 1 year-1 month, and 1 day. However, his recorded death date is exact.

Note: This is not Tjereck Van Keuren b. 10 March 1787 as many believe. Tjereck b. 1787 did marry, but his bride is not known. He did have a child Charles 1799-1881. He did not die 11 June 1825.
