Your date of birth is probably your baptismal date possibly at Albany, New York. I believe that your parents were Cornelius Stephanus Mulder-Muller and Hillitje Pieterse Loockermans. I believe that you and Tobias had eight children. I have visited the outside of your home near what is now the very ugly prison. I understand that your house was built in 1746 and that it was originally stone and that the brick and wood sections were added later. The land of your farm must have been beautiful. Although the land is quite flat and it looks like the creeks might have flooded, the spot is very pretty and peaceful except for the later addition of the prison. I am a descendant of your son Johannes Van Deusen and his first wife Christina De La Mater. Their son John married Fytje (Sophia) Hallenbeck. One of the many children of John and Fytje was Maria Van Deusen who married Leonard Freeland at the Dutch Reformed Church of Claverack, Columbia County, New York in 1806. The name later goes to Alger and then to Farrand which is my maiden name.
