This is a Derivative Source record of the Dutch Reformed Church in Freehold and Middletown, New Jersey. It appears to be an orderly transcription of the church record from an earlier record book.
Ancestry.com indexed this record as "Polman" but the "New Jersey Birth and Christenings Index" collection on Ancestry.com lists it as "Potman." It appears that the amanuensis who added this to the new record book forgot to cross the "t."

Victor Davise Putman (1721-1765) is my 6th great-grandfather, who married Margaret Wies (1726-????) in about 1745, through their son Peter Victorse Putman (1760-1835) who married Sarah Kinnan (1760-1841) in 1780.
