From the Collegiate Dutch Church record, New York. "September 14, 1688, Jan Leggett, y.m. van de Barbadoes en Cataline Ten Broeck, y.d. Albian d'uste wonunde alheir, entevede tot N. Albanien. (in the Margin) vertoog um to troueven tot N. Albanien."
Translation:
"John2 Leggett, young man of the Barbadoes and Cataline Ten Broeck, young maiden of New Albany, the first living here and the second at Albany."
The record of the First Reformed Church of Albany gives the same marriage, but the date is October 7, 1688.
The Tax Lists of New York City for the years 1695 to 1699 (N.Y. Historical Society record ) show that Catelina, widow of John2 Leggett, was assessed for a house in the south ward. John2 Leggett, her husband, had died in 1693 or 1694, aged about 30 years.
His widow married after 1699 John Lissjer.
