[S1349] Mrs. Russel Hastings, contributor, "The Deposition of Judith Varlet", with additional material by William J Hoffman, The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record 71 (Apr 1940): "The following deposition [dated 19 Feb 1709/10] by Judith Varlet, the wife of Col. Nicholas Bayard, is taken from a manuscript owned by the New York Public Library, which has kindly given permission for publication.
    The diposition of Mrs Judy Varlet the wife of Coll°. Bayard, being deposed uppon the Holy Evangelist, Saith—-—
    That now about fifty nine yeares ago the said deponant came from holland to New York then called New Amsterdam, in a certaine Ship called the Fortune; she the Deponant being then about fifteen years of age ;-—-
    That at the same time in said ship likewise came over this deponants Brother Nicholas Varlet and Susanna his Wife who are both since dead;—-
    That some time in the month of December A.D. 1650, this deponant was present when the said Susanna the wife of hur depont said brother, was delivered in Child Bedd of a Son, on board of Shipp in a great storme, some few days before the Shipp arrived at or made a place called Martins Vinyard in New England, and that the mariners computed that said Shipp was within soundings of the Maine Land of said Martins Vinyard at the time of said Childs birth; That some few days after said Shipps departure from Martins Vinyard, they arrived at New York, then called New Amsterdam, where the said young born son was baptised by the dutch Minister Mr Megapolensis and named Abraham :--
    This would indicate that Judith was born about 1635. She married, 23 May 1666 in New York, Nicholas Bayard (Reformed Dutch Church NY Marriages 1639-1801, p. 32), and they had a son, Samuel, baptized 5 Sep 1669 (Reformed Dutch Church NY Baptisms 1639-1730, p. 95). The Varlet Family of Amsterdam (Cor Snabel and Elizabeth Johnson, www.varletfamily.pbworks.com) states that Judith was actually at least twenty-one years of age at the time of the voyage, citing her baptism on 8 Nov 1629 in Stadsarchief Amsterdam: doopregister, akte 6 p 256.
