Andrew Zartman his wife Ann Catharina and their son Jacob, sailed from Rotterdam on the ship "Albany," clearing customs at Portsmouth on 22 Jun 1728, arrived at Philadelphia on 4 Sep 1728 where Alexander made his oath. Apparently the trip took about 75 days, in addition to the days they spent traveling from their home to the port of Rotterdam. As 1978 will mark the 250th anniversary of the arrival of the immigrant Zartman family in America, special plans will be made to commemorate this important anniversary next year. Alexander Zartman helped secure the land from the Perm Brothers upon which stands the church. He was one of the first trustees of the congregation.

Supposedly, he is buried in the church cemetery with his wife and many descendants. All Zartmans from anywhere are invited to the reunion and also are reminded to attend the 55th annual Zartman reunion held in City Park, Rochester, Fulton Aug. 7. Genealogist for both reunions is.
