- Johannes is recorded at his baptism as Hans Ure Furler, son of Jacob Furler and Maria Cathira Ackerman. Ure is a short form of Jorg, or George. Johannes' brothers, Jacob and Cornelius, are found in 1790 in Woodstock, Ulster County, New York, living near a John Furler. It is suggested that the later John is the same person as this Johannes and that he simply Anglicized his name from Hans to John. Furthermore John Furler and Rachel Krom were witnesses to his nephew John Meisner's baptism in 1788.
John was too young to have joined his older brothers in Butler's Rangers and it does not appear that he followed them to Ontario at all.
In 1790, John is found living in Woodstock, Ulster County, New York, USA with the following family: John FURLOW, 1m +16, 1m -16, 1f. He is residing next to his brother Cornelius Furlow and brother-in-law Coonradt Meisner, and very close to his eldest brother Jacob Furlow.
In 1800, John is found living in Woodstock, Ulster County, New York, USA with the following family: John FURLOW, 1m-10, 2m 26-45, 3f-10, 1f26-45. He is shown as residing within five farms of Cornelius Furlow, Jacob Furlow and Coonradt Meisner.
In 1810, John is found in Shandaken (Woodstock), Ulster County, New York, USA with the following family: John FURLOW, 1m-10, 1m45+, 1f-10, 1f10-16, 2f26-45, 1f26-45, This would appear to be John with his 10 yr old son Cornelius. He is still living nearby to his brother-in-law Coonradt Meisner, but his brothers Jacob and Cornelius Furler are not present. John was not UEL so was not eligible for Canadian land. The other Furlers have left for Ontario.) Jacob and Cornelius had applied for the UEL land grants in 1798. It is presumed that by 1810 they were then residing in Ontario, Canada. John did not serve in Butler's Rangers and thus was not eligible for a UEL land grant. Shandaken became incorporated as a new township in the early 1800s comprising part of the former Woodstock township. The shift from "Woodstock" to "Shandaken" likely reflects this civil administrative change, not a geographic move for the Furlow family.
John is not found in the 1820 census. However his son, Cornelius, is found with an elderly male living in his house who is the right age to be John. Thus it is presumed that by 1820 Cornelius had become head of the household and John was residing with his son.
This family has not been found in the 1830 census.
John is found enumerated separately again in 1840 as John FURLOUGH, 1m 70-80, 1f70-80. He is residing nearby to his son Cornelius.
John is not found in the 1850 census and is presumed to have died.
It is not certain that John Furler actually married Rachel Krom. They are simply listed as co-witnesses on a baptism. However it was the custom in the early Dutch community to allow newly engaged couples to act as witnesses at baptisms. When a man and woman are listed together as witnesses and they are not engaged then the register usually states so.
Johannes Ure Furler is believed to have married ABT 1789 to Rachel KROM. It is believed they had the following children. The arrangement of children below is calculated from early census data. No birth records have been found for any of these children.
It is not confirmed that Cornelius is the son of John. See notes on Cornelius for more information.
