      2. From my 2007 visit to the Montgomery Co., NY, Archives: "Servos/ServissService Compendium," 2002, chapter: "The Family of Christianus Servos (1661-1745) and Margaretha Elizabetha Debruen," pp. 9-26 [Kerry's note: The age variance between William reported to be born 1750 and Sophia Young b. abt 1732 seems considerable: however, he purportedly is the recipient of a letter from his purported brother in 1832 which makes 1750 very likely if he is the same William who received the letter. On the other hand, their children being born from the mid-1770s on would make Sophia between 41 and 50 years old when she gave birth to her children which seems older than usual but possible. Some of the children's births shown below seem indisputable because of their listing the 1770s' dates with parents William and Sophia from Church records. I am not sure what to make of the age difference of William Serviss and Sophia Young except that the assumed, but undocumented, birth date of Sophia of "abt. 1732 could be a bad estimate with her birth after her sister Helena, b. 3 Feb 1743/1744 and before the assumed birthdate of her sister Margarita/Maria, b. abt. 1751.]:
      "William Serviss (Wilhelmus{4}, Christianus{3}, Johann-Daniel{2}, Heinrich{1}) was born abt 1750 in Florida, Montgomery Co., NY. He maried Sophia Young abt. 1770 in Florida, Montgomery Co., NY, dau. of Peter Young and Anna Fox. She was born about 1732 in Florida, Montgomery Co., NY.
      Notes for William Serviss: Notes of the late B.J. Service: My great grandfather, William Serviss, was born in 1750 and married Sophia Yong about 1770. He also refers to his two tory brothers John W. Serviss and Christopher Serviss who went to Canada during the Revolution and later settled there...
