Ten year old Michael, orphaned by the death of his parents shortly after their arrival in America, is believed to have made the trip from Nutten Island to Livingston Manor in New York province in the care of his sister and her new husband.

Name is mentioned several times in the early Stone Arabia Lutheran Trinity Church Records. Church elder/founder.  His name appears in the original deeds as does that of Heinrich Frey.  Frey I think was Evangelical.  The two churches used the same facility for many years and then split the glebe with the Lutherans keeping the original log cabin.
