Johannes Teller was born in 1659. He was the youngest child of the marriage of New Netherland pioneers Willem and Margarita Donchesen Teller. His mother died while he was a young boy and his father re-married. By that time, his father had become a patentee of Schenectady - although may not have lived there. Willem Teller did retain his Albany properties and was listed as an Albany resident for many years.
In August 1686, Johannes wed Susanna Wendell at the Albany Dutch church. Both marriage partners were identified as living in Albany at that time. However, their first child was not baptized in Albany until February 1691 - a year after the raid on Schenectady in which Johannes reportedly was taken prisoner! By 1698, however, three more children had been christened in the Albany church.
During the 1690s, Johannes Teller was an Albany mainstay. He was a constable and high constable in 1694 and '95. In 1699, he joined other Albany residents in swearing allegiance to the king of England. Traditional sources imply that he was a resident of Schenectady. At the same time, he was included on Albany survey documents. As late as 1709, his Albany property in the first ward was valued on city tax rolls.
After 1700, Johannes Teller began receiving land at Schenectady from his father - reportedly to help offset losses sustained in the raid of 1690. Johannes probabaly lived there until May 1725 when he made his will. He died in Schenectady at the end of June. - Johannes Teller by Stefan Bielinski
Johannes Teller, son of Willem and the settler of Schenectady, was born in 1659 and married Sussanna, daughter of Capt. Johannes Wendel of Albany, in 1686. At the time of the Schenectady massacre of 1690, his house was burned and he was made a captive by the French and carried to Canada. In 1700 Willem Teller conveyed his two Schenectady bouweries to his son Johannes "in consideration that he was much reduced in property in 1690, at the burning of Schenectady by the French." Johannes Teller had three sons, Johannes, Willem and Jacobus, among whom his property was divided at his death in 1725. - History of the Mohawk Valley: Gateway to the West 1614-1925, Chapter 22: Settlers at Schenectady, 1661-4

Notes:

Willem Teller was an original proprietor of Schenectady, but not a settler here although his son, Johannes, evidently located here at an early date. Willem Teller came to New Amsterdam in 1639, as a soldier, and was sent to Fort Orange, where he served as a corporal and later became Wachtmeester of the fort. He lived in Albany until 1692, when he removed to New York, where he died in 1701.
Teller's house lot was the west quarter of the block bounded by Washington, Front, Church and Union streets. His bouweries were marked No. 5. Both his house lot and farms were evidently occupied by his son Johannes. Willem Teller was one of the five Schenectady patentees named in the patent granted in 1684 by Governor Dongan, and he was the only one of the fifteen original Schenectady proprietors so named. - History of the Mohawk Valley: Gateway to the West 1614-1925, Chapter 22: Settlers at Schenectady, 1661-4
William Teller, of Holland: Founder of the Teller family in America, was born in 1620; died in 1701. He arrived at New Netherlands in 1639, and in the same year was sent by Governor Kieft to Fort Orange, now Albany, and subsequently was quartermaster at the fort. He lived in Albany from 1639 until 1692, when he returned to New York where he was a merchant. He was one of the five patentees of the town of Schenectady in 1684, although he never lived there. The Teller family is prominent in the history of Albany and Schenectady counties, where they had large interests. William Teller married (first) Margaret Donchensen, and had six children; (second) Maria Varleth, and had three additional children. - Hudson-Mohawk genealogical and family memoirs Collection

Notes:

Romanus was a distinguished clergy man and author of religious books. Born in bavaria he was probably one of the Calvinists who was expelled fron that country and other states of Germany where Roman Catholicism was the established religion especially during the persecutions following the outbreak of the Thirty years War in 1618. The armorial bearings claimed for the family are those of teller of the House of Kempton in Bavaria. This crest was on the stained glass window donated by the family to the first church in Albany which was established in 1642. - unknown

Romanus married Lea Toors about 1619 in Netherlands. Lea was born in 1592 in Netherlands; and died. [Group Sheet]
