 * Dutch Kills, Brooklyn, Long Island:  Per Wikipedia,<br> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_Kills,_Queens <br>Dutch Kills was a hamlet on a navigable tributary of Newtown Creek. It remained a community of farms during the 19th century, and in 1870 consolidated with Hunters Point, Ravenswood, Astoria & Steinway to form Long Island City, Queens NY.  Dutch Kills "occupied what today is centrally Queensboro Plaza."<br>Newtown Creek  forms part of the boundary between present-day Queens Co. (Queens) & Kings. Co. (Brooklyn). It runs parallel to and just south of I-495 which crosses the East River into Manhattan at the Queens Midtown Tunnel. The southernmost tributary runs northward from  an area of Kings Co. (Brooklyn) just SE of I-278,the Brooklyn Queens Expy, into Newtown Creek in Queens.
 * Identity of baptism witnesses (for Bragon Covert) ''Ysaac Brokaer'' & ''Marritje Coevers'' are unknown. Ysaac Brokaer could be a grandparent; or they could be an aunt & uncle.
