According to "The Batdorf Family" by Maxine Blankendorf Bennett, 1984, Johannes Zeller was born 1686 in France and was the younger of the two sons of Jacques and Clothilde (de Valois) de Sellaire.

Jacques Zeller died at Sea on the Way Over to America.
Only Chlothilde Zeller (the mother) and the two sons, Johannes and John Heinrich, arrived in New York 1710.
The Zeller family were French Huguenots and had to flee France for fear of death. It was while in Holland they changed their name to Zeller.

The Memorial on the burial site was put in by the Zeller Family, to Commemorate the first Zeller to America--
Clothilde, and her two sons, John Henry and John George.
And to Jacques Zeller, who took his family to America but died at sea and never made it to see the New World.
