Johannes, son of Resolved and Tannake (Nagel) Waldron, was born September 12, 1665 in Haarlem, New York. On April 25, 1690, Johannes married Anna Van Dalsen, the daughter of Captain Jan Van Dalsen. Johannes lived a great portion of his life at the patent at Jochem Pieter's Hill located at modern-day 133rd Street between 8th and 9th Avenues. He was called Johannes Waldron of the Hill to distinguish him from his namesake of Hoorn's Hook. Johannes died in 1753, having survived his wife and all his children, except his son Resolved.

According to the History of Haarlem, both Resolved and his son, Johannes Waldron, are said to be buried at Woodlawn. Johannes was disintermed from a different family cemetery—possibly the old Nagel cemetery. All the interments for the Dutch Reformed Church Cemetery of Harlem, New York were moved to Woodlawn Cemetery, 501 East 233rd Street, Bronx County, Bronx, NY. The move was done in 1875. Please see the New York Historical Society for more information.

Disinterments from the Vaults and Churchyard of the Dutch Reformed Church of Harlem, 1869-1875: Prompted by New York City's northward growth, the Consistory of the Dutch Reformed Church of Harlem purchased a plot in Woodlawn Cemetery in 1869. The remains interred in its old cemetery in First Avenue between 124th and 125th Streets, and also those in the churchyard on Third Avenue and 121st Street, were removed to the plot in Woodlawn; the transfer was completed in 1875. A manuscript file containing documentation relevant to this process has been digitized and made available in the eLibrary of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Record.
