      Person note
      PETER JOHANNES QUACKENBUSH was the first son and third child of Johannes Pieterse Quackenbush and his wife Magtel Janse Post. He was born probably at Albany or near there about 1678, and married 19 November 1701, Neeltie Marinus daughter of David Marinus and Rachel Hanse. According to Sanders he is the Peter who moved into Montgomery County, and became the ancestor of all the Quackenbush families west of Schenectady. He was buried 20 July 171*8.
      The children of his daughter Magdalena and John Collier are registered in the Church at Ft. Hunter, Montgomery County, N. Y.
      The story is told that his oldest son, David while working for Captain Scott, was asked by one of the other employed men to say a good word for him to Captain Scott's daughter, Ann, which David did rather reluctantly as he admired Miss Ann himself. Then the story is very much like the story of John Alden, for some encouragement from Miss Ann, David proposed and was married to her 11 May 1723.
