      ABRAHAM BOUDAT RUTAN
      BIRTH
      LDS evidence gives birthplace as "Of Metz, Lorraine, France", but WFT gives it as St Michiel, Alsace, France.
      Birthdates are 5 May 1656 and 1658, respectively. Clearly a problem here. I am tentatively going with the LDS version. Caution.

      --Per the CLAUDIN RUTTAN book:
      -- BAPTISM
      Place: Metz, Lorraine, France:
      "CHRISTENING: An extract from the register of infant baptisms in the Reformed Church of Metz reads : "June 10, 1658. Abraham, son of Daniel Rutan and of Anne de Bize, his wife. Godfathers Abraham Boudat and Paul Cluien, godmothers Marie Bancelin and Susanne Pilon." (Ruttan, 1986 p. 7)"
      -- DEATH:
      "Died on 19 May 1713 in New Barbadoes, Bergen, New Jersey."

      BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE: "... It was because of religious persecution that Abraham B., and a party of friends, first went to Manheim, Lower Pallalinate, Germany. Many other Huguenots, also settled in or near Mannheim, in the Lower Palantinate, Germany, where he is believed that Abraham B. joined the Hasbrouck Party and journeyed with them via Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Holland and England before coming to America, and arriving in the town of Boston in early 1675-1667 [sic] (1677? - JLR) and settling at New Platz, Ulster County, New York."

      Early Settlers of Ulster County
      ---
      Abraham and Jean Hasbrouch
      ---
      By Gerrit H. Van Wagenen

      "ABRAHAM and JEAN HASBROUCK, or Hasbroucque, ancestors of the Hasbrouck family in this country, were born in Calais, France, of which place their father was a native.
      Driven out of France by the religious troubles and persecutions which beset the Huguenot families in those days, their father, with his two sons, Abraham and Jean, and a daughter ... went to Mannheim, in the Lower Palatinate, Germany, where they all resided for several years.
      In 1673 Jean Hasbrouck, with his wife Anna Duyon [Deyo] and two or more children, came to America, and probably went directly to Esopus, where he settled.
      Abraham, of whom we have fuller record from manuscript preserved in the family, went from Mannheim to Holland, and from thence, in company with a number of his acquaintances, sailed for America in April, 1675.
      He landed at Boston, proceeded directly to New York, and then to Esopus, which he reached in July of the same year, and where he found his brother Jean.
      ... In 1677 he, with his brother Jean and some others, obtained from Governor Andros a patent for a large tract of land in Ulster County, south of Kingston, where they settled and which they named New Paltz."

      1699 MOVED TO New Barbadoes (Hackensack), Bergen County, New Jersey:

      The last record we have of Abraham Rutan in the New Paltz Church is in 1695, when he is named godfather of a son of Moses De Grave. After this he is found in New Barbadoes (Hackensack), Bergen County, New Jersey, where in 1699 he bought a tract of land of Thomas Noel. In 1707 he bought a "parcel of land from Bartholomew Feuert, paying five pounds and a more valuable and greater consideration.

      "Note: The Demarest Settlement. David des Marest, son of Jean, was born in the Province of Picardy, France, about 1620. He became a Protestant, fled to Holland and in 1651 moved to Manheim, Lower Palitinate; but here the Protestants were already threatened by the Catholic princes, so Des Marest and his co-religionists set out for America, arriving at New Amsterdam on the ship "Spotted Cow", April 16, 1663.
      In 1677 David des Marest purchased of the Indians a large area of land on the Hackensack River for himself and companions.
      Rutan and Des Marest doubtless met in Manheim. Abraham Rutan, about 1699, moved from New Paltz to the Demarest colony in New Jersey, where he appears to have resided on the west bank of the Hackensack River."
