Catalogue Note
The initials are possibly those of Warner Van Iveren and Anna Pruyn, who married June 8, 1696, in Albany.
He was born in 1663 to Carsten Frederickse Van Iveren and his wife Tryntje Warners. The couple lived on Pearl Street in the second ward, and he served as constable, firemaster, assessor, and juror, as well as belonging to the militia company; two children were christened in the Albany Dutch Church. She died in 1722, while he was still living in 1743 (see New York State Museum on-line biography).
