He married Barbara Sellen, daughter of Hendrick Sellen, another native of Crefeld, and original settler of Germantown, and one of the first trustees of the First Mennonite church of Germantown. Some years after his arrival in Pennsylvania, he made a trip back to Crefeld, andreturned to Pennsylvania, thus crossing the ocean three times. A paper dated 1706, containing his
