Jacob Verdon^1,2

• Charts: Aeltje Braconie to Ruth Catherine Brewer, Ancestors of Ruth Catherine Brewer

• Jacob Verdon was probably born between 1600 and 1610 at La Rochelle, France.
• He married Marie Thomasdr Badie, daughter of Thomas Badie and Aeltje Braconie, between 1626 and 1630; either just prior to immigration or just after arrival at New Amsterdam.^3,4
• Jacob Verdon died before November 1634 at Manhattan Island, New Netherland.⁵

• Also known as Jacob Janss.²
• Little is known of Jacob Verdon, the progenitor of the Verdon or Ferdon families in America, he appears only once in the New Netherland Records, although his first name of Jacob is apparent from the patronymic of his children. He had to have been in the New Netherland Colony very early as his daughter Magdalena was called a native of New Netherland when she was married in 1645. An abstract from the early Dutch records in 1634 names Marritgen Thomas, widow of Jacob Janss from Rochel. Arguing that in a settlement as tiny as Manhattan was in 1634 it would be highly unlikely that there was another Jacob with a wife named Marritgen Thomas, it has been presumed that this record refers to Jacob Verdon and Maria Thomas Badie. In which case it tells us Jacob's patronymic, and therefore the name of his father, Jan (probably Jean). It also states that he is from "Rochel" which most likely refers to La Rochelle, home of the Huguenots in France. However, the index to the Reformed Church of La Rochelle (FHL film #119956) shows no Verdons during this time period. The possibility still exists that Jacob could have came from a small village in the vicinity of La Rochelle. The Amsterdam marriage and baptism indexes, as well as the index of the Bibliotheque Wallonne of Leiden, contain no entries for Jacob or his wife. Her place of origin remains unknown.⁶
• The early generations of the Verdon family are covered by John Reynolds Totten in "Verdon Family Notes," published in the New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, vol.64, pp.105-132, April 1933.

(His father's name is not given in the baptism record, and so there is a doubt as to his paternity. Viele Records has shown that he bore the name Aernoudt Corneliszen Viele throughout his adulthood. Either 1) his parents were not married at the time he was born, but married later. Or 2) he was an illegitimate son of his mother who was taken in as a son by her first husband and adopted the Viele family name and identity. The name, Aernoudt, would have come from his mother's maternal grandfather).^2,1
