     Anna Maria Brust was born on 25 March 1753. She was the daughter of Johannes Jacob Brust and Anna Katherina Wolff. Anna Maria Brust was baptized on 6 May 1753 at Rhinebeck Lutheran, Rhinebeck, Dutchess Co, New York; Sponsors were Paulis Weger and Anna Maria Treber.

     Philip and his wife, Mary, were listed as guests of Enoch Salls on 8 Feb 1824 at Caldwell's Manor, with ages given as 77 and 71. If this is correct, it would have his birth as 1747, not 1753. However, Anna Maria's birthdate matches.³ Mary Brust wrote her will on 22 March 1827. She listed her daughters as "Annah Derick, wife of William Strothers, Elizabeth Derick, wife of Randle Bissell & Mary Derick, wife of John Dunbury" her clothes, linens and other moveable property. She left her son "Conrad Derick, Esquire, of the seigniory of Noyan" all immoveable property.⁴
