| Notes |
- Johan is listed in the Palatine List taken at St. Catharines, 2 JUN 1709 as follows: "Feller, Johan, Husbandman and vinedresser, age 45, sons aged 4 and 2, daughters aged 12 and 9, R." He is recorded on the Embarkation List from Holland
Third Party (of Palatine Emigrants) -- embarked between June 5 - 10, 1709, list as: "Veller, Johan & vrouw (Frau = wife), with four children."
Johan is not listed in the Subsitence Lists of 1710 and 1712. It may be that he died and his wife remarried. Or the following entry may be a transcription error for Johan:
Velten, Johann Wilhelm 3 adults over 10 years and 1 child under 10 in 1710, 4 adults over 10 in 1712. If so, then this would indicate that by 1712 he had no children at home and would negate him as a possible ancestor for the Furlers as shown here.
He is tentatively suggested here as a brother to Niclaus Feller/Veller based solely on the weak connection that they share a surname, were both Palatinates, and arrived in New York within a couple of years of each other and both settled in the same area. No proof of this relationship has been found.
He has not been identified in any later records and it is suggested that he may have died shortly after immigration.
It is further suggested here that one of his sons may have been named Jacob and that he may be the "Jacob Veller/Furler Sr." who was the partriarch of the later Furler family. This relationship, too, has not been verified. No documentary evidence has so far been found to show what the actual names were for Johan's children.
