The Prall Family

Arendt Jansen Prall (ca. 1647-1725) was living at Wiltwyck, New Netherlands (Kingston, New York) by 1663. He married Maria Billiou, niece of Louis DuBois of Wiltwyck, there in 1670. They had eight children. The family moved to Staten Island in 1675, probably to be near Maria's father, Peter Billiou. He died on Staten Island, New York. Known descendants lived in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Iowa, and elsewhere.
