<p>Transcribed from THE MILLER - MOOK FAMILY HISTORY written by Larry & Judy Miller - 2005:</p><p>" Little is known of Martin Pietersen other than he was born August 7, 1584 in Muiden, Noord, Netherlands/Holland. He was the son of Pieter Schenck von Nydeck and Johanna von Sharpenseel. About 1618, Martin married Maria Margaretta Brockhurst in Amersfoort, Noord, Netherlands/Holland. Maria was born in 1596 in the Netherlands but nothing is known of her parentage.</p><p>As stated before there has been speculation that Martin sailed with his three children to New Netherlands in 1650 and that he died in route during the voyage. Most records show that he died in about 1648 in Doesburg, Urecht, Netherlands/Holland. It is unknown as to when Maria died. "</p>
