Our

Van Horne Kindred

ELSIE 0. HALLENBECK

Preface

THIS BOOK is a Revision of "Our Kindred," a historical record of our branch of the Van

Home Family, which was collected and published in 1888 by my grandfather, Abram Van Horne. It has been no easy task for me to revise it, but I felt that I owed him a debt of gratitude for compiling it so many years ago without the assistance of a typewriter, telephone or automobile.

Genealogists have tried for many years to trace the first Van Hornes in our family history but it was not until the Dutch Records were translated into English that this missing link was finally, discovered by Benjamin Naglee Meeds and his wife, Jennie Grant Van Horne. I am deeply indebted to both of them for much of the information in this book, and also to Miss Allie M. Van Heusen who has so kindly assisted me in the preparation of it.

Human life is like unto a mountain stream that Hows from unknown springs to uncharted seas. Every individual life has its known entrance and exit, but a family is never born and never dies. Its common name unites hundreds of people in relations of mutual acquaintance, fellowship, brotherhood and love. I realize that this book will have only a fleeting interest to a small number of persons yet I feel that every family genealogy gives identity and personality to scattered forces in the world, and makes the interlinking of all lives more real, natural and helpful.

The Van Home Genealogy 5

Matthys Comelisen is the earliest known projenitor of this branch of the Van Home Family. He was born in Hoorn, Holland in the Province of North Holland and emigrated to New Netherland about 1663. According to the Documentary History of New York, relating to Long Island, Vol. 1, page 430, he took the Oath of Ailegiance to the British in September, 1687 and his name was entered thereon as a resident of Brooklyn, N. Y. and a native of New Netherland. His name was also on the Assessment Roll of New Utrecht in 1693 and on the Census List of 1698. In the First Series of the New Jersey Archives, Vol. 2, page 327, relating to the Colonial History of the state from 1687-1703, one can see his signature mark "dit ist mark van Matthys Cornelisen."

He married Fytie (Eytie) Adam Brouwer, a widow, on February 20, 1692 at Flatbush, N. Y. She was the sixth child of Adam Brouwer Berkhoven and Magdalena J acobse Verdon, and her first husband was Evert Hendrickszen by whom she had six children. In the Appendix at the end of this book one can trace her ancestry back to Aeltje Braconie (Altien Brackhoengie) who was born in Holland about 1590.

They had two sons named Cornelius and Abraham and about that time the laws of America demanded surnames. Matthys Cornelisen never had a surname as the Dutch people added the word "sen, zen or szen" to the name of the father denoting that he was his son. As people could select any surname that they chose, Matthys decided to use the surname of Van Hoorn, the word van meaning "from" and "Hoom" was his native city. The spelling has been gradually changed to Van Home by which it is known today. These two sons were the first two persons to use this surname in this branch of the Van Home Family, and because they both had so many

descendants, the author of this book has presented each line separately, using the letter "A" after all the descendants of Cornelius, and the letter "B'' after all the descendants of Abraham:-

lA x Cornelius, bapt. May 4, 1695; m. (1) Catharine Cox (2) Elizabeth Lawrence (3) Hannah Seabrook.

lB x Abraham, bapt. January 15, 1699; m. Annetje Covenhoven.

IA Captain Cornelius Van Home was born in Brooklyn, N. Y. and bapt. on May 4, 1695 in the Dutch Reformed Church of Brooklyn, anc! his Sponsors were Thomas Lawrence and Elizabeth Thonus (Year Book of Holland Society of 1897, Vol. 10, page 167).

About the beginning of the eighteenth century, Cornelius, his brother, Abraham (lB) and his halfsister Sarah Hendrickszen settled in Monmouth County, New Jersey. Sarah kept house for them until her marriage to Alexander Clark of Freehold, N. J. They evidently lived in the former home of John Bowne as it states in the Archives of New Jersey, Vol. 23, page 51 that on April 9, 1716, Cornelius Van Hoorn and Matthys Cornelisen were Bond Debtors of the estate of John Bowne of Monmouth County for a "dwelling said to have been erected by said John Bowne when he moved there from Long Island."

Cornelius Van Horne held the Commission of Captain from King George II of England, an honor of which he was extremely proud, and was always known as "Captain Cornelius," and it was even inscribed on his gravestone after his death in 1744.

The Van Horne Genealogy 7

Captain Cornelius was married three times, viz: (1) Catharine Cox {2) Elizabeth Lawrence and (3) Hannah Seabrook, and was the father of ten children. All three of his wives were English and from wellknown families living in Monmouth County, New Jersey.

Catharine Cox, his first wife, was born on September 20, 1695 and was the daughter of Thomas Cox, one of the patentees of the Monmouth Treaty and lived at Middleton, N. J. where he was a very influential citizen. He left a Will dated February 16, 1723 in which he mentions "my daucliter Catharine and her infant son Thomas" so evidently the child was named for him. Captain Cornelius and Catharine Cox were married about 1721 and she died about a year after the birth of her son. ·

2A x Thomas, b. December 4, 1722; m. Jane Ten Eyck.

Shortly after her death, Captain Cornelius purchased a large tract of land in Hunterdon County near the confluence of the northern and southern branches of Rockaway Creek, near land owned by his brother Abraham Van Home (lB) who had recently founded Whitehouse, N. J. He must have purchased this land sometime before November 6, 1728 as on that date, he and his brothe:i Abraham {lB) were appointed on a Commission to try pirates.

Elizabeth Lawrence was the second wife of Captain Cornelius, and she was born on February 23, 1699, and was the daughter of James Lawrence (1660-1730) and his step-sister Mehetable Alburtis. According to the N. J. Calendar of Wills, James Lawrence left a will proven in 1730 in which he mentions his wife "Mehetable and his children Jacob,

8 The Van Horne Genealogy

John, James, Hannah, Mary Rebecca, Debra; and the three children of his daughter Elizabeth, deceased, namely Mathias, Catharine and Elizabeth Van Horne."

Elizabeth Lawrence's 1)atemal grandfather was Hon. William Lawrence who had been baptized on June 13, 1630 in St. Albans, Hertfordshire, England and emigrated to New Netherland about 1660. Later he was given a grant of 3,000 acres of land in Monmouth County near Middleton, N. J. where he lived until his death in 1704. His first wife was Elizabeth Smith by whom he had several children. In 1693 he married Elizabeth Scudder, widow of John Alburtis. She was the daughter of John Scudder and Mary King who had emigrated to Massachusetts in 1636 from England. She had married John Alburtis in 1666 and they had a daughter named Mehetable Alburtis.

Elizabeth Lawrence's maternal grandfather was Jan Alburtis, son of Pietro Caesare Alberti, a native of the island of Malamocc_o near Venice, Italy. He had arrived in New Netherland on June 2, 1635 as a sailor on the ship "de Coninck David" and .never returned to his homeland. According to old Dutch records he obtained a patent of 24 morgens, 420 rods of land at Wallabout on June 17, 1643. He married Judith Jansen Meynje, daughter of Jan Meynje of Newtown, Long Island on August 24, 1642, and they had a son named John Alburtis who was bapt. on August 30, 1643 at Newtown. He married Elizabeth Scudder in 1666 and died in 1691.

Captain Cornelius Van Home and Elizabeth Lawrence had three children before her death in 1730. The three children are all named in the will of their grandfather James Lawrerice, as mentioned above.

Hannah Seabrook, the third wife of Captain Cornelius, was born on November 15, 1706 and was the daughter of James Seabrook and Hannah Grover, and according to the N. J. Archives, Vol. 22, Series I, page 414, they were married on March 15, 1732. She was a second cousin of Elizabeth Lawrence, the second wife of Captain Cornelius. She was a direct descendant of Thomas Seabrook, the projenitor of the New Jersey Family of Seabrooks who had settled at Minneford Island in 1664, and later lived at Hempstead, Long Island. HP was killed while fighting in an Indian raid in 166, . and his Verbal Will is recorded in a very quaint ,jocument in Westchester County, in which witnesses attest that before leaving his wife, he took her by the hand and said "Wyfe, if I am knokt on the head, you are to have all that I now posess." There followed a listing of all the family goods. (Stillwe11' s Historical and Genealogical Miscellany of New York).

The Van Horne Genealogy

Captain Cornelius died on February 12, 1744 and was buried in the old cemetery near the Railroad Station in Whitehouse, and one can still see the following inscription on his gravestone:-

"In memory of CAPTAIN CORNELIUS VAN HORNE

Died February 12, 1744 in ye 49th year of his age."

Captain Cornelius left a Will dated December 24, 1743, with a Codicil added on February 3, 1744. These were admitted to probate on March 16, 1744 and are recorded in the Book of Wills, No. V, page 17, in the office of the Secretary of State at Trenton, N. J. "I'his will is dated at Reading Town, County of Hunterdon, in the western division of New Jersey and makes the following bequests:-

"To my beloved wife Hannah, fifty ponds in lieu of her dowry, and provision for her support so long as she shall live and remain a widow.

CORNELIUS VAN HORNE

Hannah Seabrook married Benjamin Drake, ;i. widower in 1748. He was the fifth son of Rev. John Drake of Piscataway, N. J. and was born in 1683. He married his first wife, Mary Runyon in 1705 and they had the following children:-


12A Benjamin Drake, b. about 1708. I:3A John Drake, ab. I 710. 14A Francis Drake, ab. 1712. 15A Rebecca Drake, ab. 1714. 16A William Drake, ab. 1716. 17 A Zachariah Drake, ab. 1718. IBA Edmund Drake, ab. 1722. 19A Thomas Drake, ab. 1724. 20A Nathan Drake, ab. 1720. 21A Daniel Drake, ab. 1728.

Benjamin left a Will dated June 2, 1763 and probated August 30, 1763 in which he mentions his "wife Hannah, his daughter Rebecca, his sons Zachariah and Edmund, and his grandson William, son of William, deceased." Hannah Seabrook and Benjamin Drake had one child who was not mentioned in her father's will, but was mentioned as "my halfsister Hannah" in the will of Francis Drake, so evidently she died young. Her name was:-

22A Hannah Van Horne Drake, b. May 8, 1749.

Hannah Seabrook died in l '788 and left an old Dutch Family Bible in which she had written the names and birth dates of her seven children, and lists the Seabrook connections, and it is still in the possession of some of her descendants.

2A Thomas Van Home, son of Captain Cornelius Van Horne (lA) and his first wife, Catharine Cox. He was born on December 4, 1722 and was mentioned in the will of his grandfather, Thomas Cox of Middleton, N. J. He married Jane Ten Eyck on June 17, 1749 (N. J . ..f\.rchives, Vol. 22 page 403). She was


born in 1728 and was the daughter of Adrian Ten. Eyck, an early settler in Hunterdon County where he owned a tract of land along the Raritan River. Thomas inherited his father's home and farm near Whitehouse, N. J. but he sold it in 1757 and purchased property in Mansfield Township in Sussex County where he lived for the rest of his life. He was a Magistrate and also an Associate Judge of Sussex County. In 1722 he was a representative in the State Assembly of New Jersey, which position he held at the time of his death on January 18, 1774. His wife died on April 27, 1800.

3A Mathias Van Home, second son of Captain Cornelius Van Horne by Elizabeth Lawrence, his second wife. He was born on October 10, 1724 and married Nelly Crumm on January 8, 1744. She was the daughter of William and Wyntje Crumm, early settlers in Hunterdon County, and was baptized on


March 19, 1721 in the Dutch Reformed Church of Readington. They lived on land which he had inherited from his father Captain Cornelius (IA) and they had ten children. Soon after their last child was born, Mathias died very suddenly, so she brought all her younger children to Mill Point, N. Y. where she lived with her eldest son Cornelius Van Home. She had a special talent for nursing sick people, and as there was no doctor in the neighborhood, she gave her services freely to any neighbor who asked for them. Often at night she would mount a horse behind a messenger, and ride into the wilderness to relieve the distressed, so was greatly beloved by all that knew

· her. She died on May 3, 1803 and is buried in the Van Home Cemeterv located on her son's farm. Her son Ruluf is also buried in this same cemetery.

BA Abram Van Horne, son Captain Cornelius Van Horne (IA) and Hannah Seabrook, his third wife, was born on August 28, 1738. He married Hannah Huff, daughter Richard Huff of Sussex, N. J. on December 9, 1763 (N. J. Archives, Vol. 22, Series 1, pg. 414). About 1771 he emigrated to Tryon County, N. Y. and settled on land that was then called Warrensbush, which was a large tract which Sir Peter Warren had purchased for speculation, and was selling or leasing to the early settlers. He built a log cabin on his land but did not move his family until the following spring when he was four days in making the voyage from New York to Albany in a sloop. Some of his descendants are still living on this original farm today.

Abram Van Horne was a staunch Whig, and in June 1775 he joined the Tryon County Safety Committee as a member of the Mohawk District, and according to the Minute Book of this committee, attended most of their meetings which were usually held at the old Van Alstyne House in Canajoharie, N. Y. This was a long distance for him to travel by horseback, and it must have taken a lot of courage for him to attend these meetings as most of his neighbors were Tories, and several times they threatened to kill him and his family. One night a neighboring Tory was appointed to go to Abram's home at night and shoot him in bed. That night one of their children was sick and his wife Hannah had kept a fire going in the fireplace and after nursing the child, she had


now lain down with the child, on the front side of the bed. When the Tory neighbor saw her through the window, he knew he could not shoot Abram without killing her. His heart failed him as she was a fine woman and had often nursed the sick in his own home. This man's report leaked out and a blockhouse was built for the immediate defense of his family, and this was guarded by several soldiers.

Soon after this incident, he was appointed a Quartermaster of the Third Regiment of the Tryon County Militia under Col. Frederick Visscher, and when General Clinton made his military arrangements for his portage march from Canajoharie ~o Otsego Lake in 1779, he ordered Col. Visscher and Col. Dubois to join forces at Fort Plain and march together over the Otsquago Trail which went through Van Homesville. Wh~e on this march, he noticed the water power advantages of the falls in Otsquago Glen as it was the first time he had ever been in this section of New York State.

In 1779 he became a member of the New York State Leg;islah.ire and served for four sessions, and on May 22, 1781 he was appointed '1{igh Sheriff of Tryon County," and ever after that he was always ca11ed "Sheriff Abram."

In 1783 he decided to retrace the march over the Otsquago Trail, and taking his sons Daniel and Richard along with him, they settled first near Cansdebanak Church, not far from Fort Plain, but a couple of years later, they decided to forge farther up the Otsquato Creek where he settled on land which is now known as Van Homesville and named for him. Here he built a stone mill which is still standing and ,he had to haul the huge grinding stones from Esopus. He also built a home, an inn and a store


and soon it became a good sized village. Today his apple orchard is a park which runs through the village, his old red hop barn is now a museum, and the beautiful Central School which was built on his son's farm, is one of the finest in the state.

Sheriff Abram died on March 5, 1810 and is buried in the Van Hornesville Cemetery, for which he had given the land. On August 15, 1928, his many descendants unveiled a large native boulder as a lasting memorial to this pioneer, and on its bronze tablet is the following inscription:

Hannah Huff, his widow always remained on the farm in Warrensbush, with her oldest son Cornelius as she was in poor health and unable to withstand the rigors of pioneer life. Her daughter Catharine accompanied her father to Van Hornesville and kept his home until his death. Hannah died on April 23, 1816 and left a Will dated January 5, 1811 and proven on April 27, 1816, in which she left all her property to her son Cornelius.

23A Cornelius Van Home, oldest child of Thomas Van Home (2A) and Jane Ten Eyck, b. December 16, 1750. He inherited the entire estate of his father, a portion of which was located in Wyoming Valley about sb:ty miles from Easton, Penna. He had considerable trouble farming this land as Yankees from


Connecticut tried to settle on it several times and each time would be driven off by nearby soldiers. During one of these raids, Cornelius volunteered to carry a message by concealing it in a button on his coat, but he was captured by the Yankees and held prisoner until they were driven out again. Finally a Commissioner was appointed to settle this dispute, and he allowed the Yankees to retain the land by paying a small price for it. Cornelius presented his case to the State Supreme Court at Philadelphia:, and a record of these proceedings are on file with the Pennsylvania Historical Society.

In 1788, Cornelius and several of his neighbors who had also been deprived of their land, namely David, John and Dennis Meade, John Watson, Thomas Morton and James Randolph decided to emigrate to Crawford County. They followed the route from Bald Eagle over the Allegheny Mountains to the mouth of French Creek, which was practically the same route as the present Pennsylvania Turnpike. Here they discovered a large area of flat land which they divided between them and founded the citv of Meadville, Penna. ·

According to the Pioneer OutlinE! History of Pennsylvania, one day i11 May 1791 when he was ploughing, his horses sF·1clenly became frightened and as he turned around he saw an Indian about to kill him with a tomahawk, and another Indian hurrying to help him. He instantly grabbed the Indian's arm and then hugged him after the manner of a bear while turning him around as a shield from the other Indian and trying to speak a few Indian words to him. Finally they took him to the top of the hill where their chief tied him to a tree in a sitting position with his arms behind him. While the old chief took a nap, he managed to loosen the thong enough to get a


small knife out of his cuff, and cut himself loose and spread the alarm to his neighbors.

When he was 87 years of age, he wrote down some of his adventures and this manuscript is also in possession of the Historical Society. He was the first Collector and the first Sheriff of the five counties around Meadville, and also an Assessor, and he had to make all his returns to Pittsburgh. He married Sarah Dunn on September 27, 1798 and they had six children:

31A Cornelius Van Home, oldest child of Mathias Van Horne (3A) and Nelly Crumm, was born in Upper Freehold, N. J. on Jvlarch 10, 17 45. When a young man he came to Warrensbush, Tryon Co., N. Y. where he worked for Philip Frederick who had a grist and saw mill at Mill Point, along the Schoharie Creek. Philip Frederick was the son of Peter Frederick, a Palatine who had been driven out of south-west


Germany during a religious persecution, and emigrated to Mill Point where he settled and raised his family. According to the records of the old Dutch Reformed Church of Schoharie, N. Y., he and Sophia Saltz, daughter of Francis Saltz, were registered for marriage on November 11, 1752.

Francis Saltz was another early settler along the Schoharie Creek, about five miles above its entrance into the Mohawk River. In the History of Montgomery County, it states "that one Francis Saltz and Cornelius (Boss) Putman purchased the Shucksburg Patent of twelve hundred acres of land along the Schoharie Creek, Mr. Saltz taking the half farthest up the creek, and Mr. Putman the lower half. Mr. Saltz later on sold part of this land to his son-in-law by the name of McCreavy; another part to his sonin-law named Young; another part to Philip Frederick, a fourth part to Michael Marlett and the remaining two hundred acres he deeded to Peter Crush if he would marry his crippled daughter who had never been able to walk. Mr. Crush accepted this offer, and after building a home on the land, carried his wife to it on his back."

There is another story regarding Francis Saltz in which he purchased a millstone from Sir William Johnson for a song. The only saw and grist mill at \Uat time was owned by Sir William, and it was on the north side of the Mohawk River which was a long ways for farmers to carry their grain. Mr. Saltz heard that Sir William had a used millstone on hand and purchased it on a two years credit. When the two years were up, he journeyed to the home of Sir William in Fort Johnson, N. Y. and there "found him entertaining ~ome grand company." Sir William knew that Mr. Saltz was a good singer, so asked him to sing for his guests but Mr. Saltz was rather diffident


about doing it until Sir William told him that if his singing suited him, he would cancel his debt for the millstone. He sang several songs but Sir William was silent about his bargain, so finally Mr. Saltz brought out his wallet and sang "Money bag, money bag, you must come out, as the man he will be paid." All the guests immediately burst into laughter aD :l so did Sir William, so Mr. Saltz was able to return to his home with all his money intact.

Mr. Salt;: was a very kind-hearted man and when Mr. and Mrs. Coss, the parents of a neighboring family both died suddenly, he took the children into his home until they grew up. When he was about ninety years old, he married one of these orphaned girls and invited the whole neighborhood to the wedding. About a year later, his bride eloped with his hired man, taking all his silver money which he had hidden in a small hair trunk. This trunk is still in possession of his family.

Cornelius Van Horne married Eve Frederick, the fifth child of Philip Frederick and Sophia Saltz, and they built a home on the opposite side of the Schoharie Creek from that of her parents. There is an old lease in existence dated May 6, 1792 for this land which was in the verv north-east section of the Corry Patent and in the T~wn of Glen, Montgomery County. It was given to Cornelius Van Horne by Silvanus Wilcox, and the witnesses were Thomas B. Vinman and Abraham Vootsik.

During the Revolutionary War, Cornelius served as a private in the Third Regiment of the Tryon County i-.1ilitia and his name is inscribed on the monument at Oriskany where a battle was fought which was one of the turning points in the war.

26 The Van Horne Gl1nealogy ~-----Cornelius died on February 6, 1823 leaving a

will dated January 9, 1818 (Wills of Montgomery County). Eve Frederick, his wife, who was born on August 8, 1756 died on November 1, 1830, and they are both buried in the Van Home Family Cemetery on his farm.

42A Cornelius Van Home, eldest son of Sheriff Abram Van Horne (SA) and Hannah Huff, b. November 22, 1764. He lived in Van Hornesville with his father for a few years but preferred life on his father's farm in Warrensbush, so finally Sheriff Abram said "Your mother is not well enough to stand the pioneer life here in Van Hornesville, so if you will promise to take care of her, I will give you a title to my farm in Warrensbush."

In 1790 he married Elizabeth Young in the Dutch Reformed Church of Caughnawaga. She was born on October 14, 1772 and was the daughter of Peter Warren Young and Margaret Serviss, and her paternal gmndparents were Peter Young and Eve Fox who


had emigrated from New Jersey about 1727 and settled on a farm in Warrensbush near Young Lake along the Schoharie Creek.

Warrensbush at tl1at time (now Town of Florida, Montgomery County, N. Y.) was composed of about 14,000 acres of land which Sir Peter Warren, an English Admiral had purchased for only 4 cents an acre. He hired his nephew Sir William Johnson of Smithtown, Ireland to come to America and become his Land Agent and either sell or lease the land to the many early settlers who were being driven from their homes in Europe because of religious persecutions, or those people who desired to own land of their own. This property was called Warrensbush after Sir Peter Warren, and in order to advertise this property, he offered to give one hundred acres to the first white male child born in Warrensbush if he was named after him. It was Elizabeth's father born in 1734 who won this land and it stayed in the Young family for many generations.

Peter Warren Young was a Lieutenant in Col. Frederick Visscher' s 3rd Regiment of Tryon County militia during the Revolutionary War, and while he was fighting, his young wife Margarete and his father and mother took care of his farm. According to the Genealogy of the Young Family in America from 1727 to 1912, the Indians knew there was good fishing and hunting near this farm, and during the war they and their Tory friends made a number of raids here. Margarete's family were staunch Tories, so she felt safe in her home, but most of her neighbors were compelled to hide in the woods where they built sort of a camp back of Young Lake which was sheltered by a semi-circle of high steep hills. Margarete meanwhile cooked food for them and also kept watch for


the raids by climbing a tall basswood tree, from which she could look nearly as far as Fort Hunter where the raids usually started from, and then would give the alarm to her neighbors, so they could bury their valuables and flee to the woods."

Margarete's two brothers were compelled to flee to Canada when the war was over, but several years later, they came to visit Margarete. Peter Warren Young, her husband, saw them, and taking down his musket said "I am going out to the barn, but will return in about an hour, and if I find you here I will shoot both of you." They left immediately and never returned when they found out how fiercely they were hated by the victorious patriots.

On this same Young farm there was a huge sugar maple tree that fumished maple syrup and sugar for many generations, which was known as "Grannie's Tree" because while she was alive, she claimed all its sap for her own use, and used to boil it in huge kettles over her own fireplace.

Cornelius Van Horne and Elizabeth Young were members of the Dutch Church of Cau~hnawaga and had all their children baptized in it, but when the Minaville Reformed Church was built in 1808, they both joined it and were buried in the small cemetery in back of it. Cornelius died on July 2Q, 1831 leaving a will in which he mentions his wife "Elizabeth, his sons Peter, Daniel and Levi; his two daughters Hannah and Margarete Ann; his two grandsons John and Cornelius sons of Daniel), (Montgomery County Book of Wills).

He accompanied his father when he founded Van Hornesville, N. Y. and remained there for the rest of his life. He married Cornelia Ten Eyck and it was the second marriage recorded in the Presbyterian Church of Cooperstown, N. Y. and is as follows: "Febmary 22, 1801, Richard Van Horne, son of Abram Van Horne, High Sheriff of Tryon County, N. Y. married Cornelia Tenike, No. 584 R., Somerset, New Jersey." She was a descendant of Tobias Ten Eyck and Annetje Van Horne. There is in existence a letter written by Cornelius Ten Broeck, her guardian, closed with red sealing wax and it states:

Mr. Jacob Ten Broeck, Otsego County, N. Y. Dear Sir:

New Brunswick, September 6, 1797.

I have already written a letter to you on the subject of business you already have entrusted to me, and handed it to Miss Cornelia Ten Eyck. When Cornelia's mother applied to me to take on myself the guardianship of her daughter, I felt disposed owing to considerable trusts in my hands and other reasons, to decline it, but being preferred by her I consented, and having taken on me the care of her Person and Property while she shall come of age, I feel much interested in her welfare and happiness.

When you removed to your present place of residence, Cornelia being young, I thought it right that she should accompany you and hh mother and continue to receive from you those tender cares you both extended over her-though I conceived at the time it would be of some disadvantage to her to be removed so far from a larger society than your new neighborhood affords. Knowing, however, the good moral discipline you observe in your family, and not


Jmowing the good and convenient home she could have with her grandmother, was the reason I did not then request that she might for the greater part of her time, be left in this part of the country.

She has spent the past summer with friends and acquaintances in Jersey, and I am happy in being able to say that by her prudent and discreet behaviour, has rendered herself agreeable to them all. Her grandmother is particularly attached to her, and wishes more of her company, and I conceived that it may be advantageous to her in many respects.

I do most earnestly request and desir~ that if her grandmother lives, she may come and spend next summer here again, much may be said in favour of it and I see nothing that can be said against it. Her mother no doubt is fond of having her with her, but as she is arrived at that age which does not require the daily admonitions of her parent, which is necessary in younger years, and as she may receive from her female friends here, all useful instructions as weII as from her mother, her mother ought not to wish to deprive her of those pleasures and advantages which her time of life and her decent patrimony entitle her to.

I am with regard and ye friend and trusted sender,

CORNELIUS TEN BROECK."

Cornelia Ten Eyck was born on June 25, 1779 and after her marriage to Richard Van Horne, she brought along her two slaves, who always remained with tier until their death. Richard built a new home for his bride the site of which is where the Teachers Home of the Central School of Van Hornesville now stands, and the site of his barns is where the School is located. Most of the stone used in this building was gathered from his farmland.


Richard Van Horne was a member of the State Legislature for three terms, and in 1821 was elected to the State Constitutional Convention. He died on March 5, 1823 and Cornelia died August 6, 1818, and they are both buried in the Van Hornesville Cemetery.

DESCENDANTS of

ABRAHAM VAN HORNE

lB Abraham Van Home was the second child of Matthys Cornelisen and Fytie Adam Brouwer, the first being Cornelius Van Horne (lA). As stated before, Matthys Cornelisen is the first known projenitor of this branch of the Van Horne Family, and his wife Fytie Adam Brouwer is a direct descendant of-Aeltje Braconie who emigrated to America from Holland about 1637, and this-ancestry is traced in the Appendix at the end of this book.

Abraham Van Home was born in the Province of New York, and baptized in the Dutch Reformed Church of Brooklyn on January 15, 1699 and his Sponsors were Nickolaes Brouwer and Jannetje Brouwer. In the early part of the eighteenth century, Abraham and his brother Cornelius (IA) emigrated to Monmouth County, New Jersey where they both lived for several years.

About 1719 he married Annetje Covenhoven, daughter Cornelius Williamse Couwenhoven (1671-1786) and Margaretta Schenck (1678-1751) of Middleton, N. J. and according to the New York Genealogical and Biographical Records, Vol. 81, pg. 225, she was born about 1702. They lived in Monmouth County until about 1724 when he purchased four hundred ninety acres of land in Hunterdon County, N. J. This land was situated along the Rockaway Creek near the confluence of its north and south branches, and was part of a large tract of land originally owned by George Willocks, John Budd and James Logan, and had been surveyed and made a matter of record in 1720.


He built a large public house or inn on the main highway which ran from New Brunswick to Easton, Penna. and one can still see traces of its foundation about a hundred feet below the old church cemetery. It had fourteen large rooms, a slave kitchen with bedroom above, and a large barn and it soon became . a favorite place for stagecoaches and truckers to stop for meals and lodging. He painted it white and the viliage that graduaIIy grew around it, became known as "Whitehouse, N. J."

In 1731 he built a private residence for his fam~y and this was used for many geneiations of Van Homes and is stilI in good condition today. It was built by a Dutch contractor who decorated aII the downstair doors with different paintings, one of which was of Abraham seated on his favorite horse, and has 1731 painted in one comer.

He and his wife joined the Dutch Reformed Church of Readington in 1749 and their names were recorded as ill: "Abraham Van Horn and his wife, Annetje Covenhoven, by the pastor Rev. Johannes Casperus Fryenmoet." He died in November, 1759 of sma11 pox, and Annetje died of the same disease on December 17, 1759 and they are both buried in the old cemetery in Whitehouse. He left a Will dated December 29, 1758 in which he gave the fo1Iowing bequests:

"In the name of God, Amen. I, Abraham Van Horne, of the County of Hunterdon and Province of New Jersey, being in perfect health and sound memory, praise be to God, do hereby make this my last WilI and Testament as fo1Iows: I order that all my just debts and funeral charges be paid out of my estate as soon as convenience will, by my executors hereafter named.

Cornelius Van Horne and his brother Abraham (lB) bought the services of a German emigrant for his passage to America, and they had him build them three stone houses in Whitehouse, N. J., one of which is still standing today. It is an excellent specimen of an ancient style of architecture, with its steep roof


and its eaves projecting beyond the plate. One can still see the initials "C. V. H. 1757" carved over the stone doonvay, and some of the original paintings on the interior wa1ls are still in good condition.

9B Abraham Van Home, youngest child of Abraham Van Home (lB) and Annetje Covenhoven, born March 1, 1740. He married Gertrude (Ghaertje) Wyckoff on May 4, 1761. She was born in 1741 and was the eldest child of Cornelius Wyckoff (1715) and Elizabeth Anderson. Cornelius Wyckoff owned a tract of land which extended from Whitehouse to Potterstown, on the north side of the highway. On a little hill to the northeast of his home, there is an old family burying ground, and one can still see the inscriptions on two of the headstones: "Cornelius Wyckoff died April 4, 1796 in the 81st year of his age" and "Elizabeth Anderson, his wife, died May 1, 1799 in


the 80th year of her age." There is an old Dutch Family Bible still in possession of their family, and in it is wrtten the names of all their children.

Abraham always resided on his father's farm and continued to run the old inn, the store and the grist mill. During the Revolution he became an Issuing Forage Master for General Washington and used his barn to store flour and other provisions for the American troops. There is still in existence an old letter written by General Washington to a baker in Philadelphia, directing him to "send a certain quantity of hard bread to Correll's Ferry, and there await the army that is with me, with the exception of two thousand pounds which was to be sent to a town called Whitehouse." Abraham also entertained General Washington at his own home, and his staff of officers at the old inn.

In the year 1792, he invited a Committee from the Classes of New Brunswick Seminary to come to his home and help him to organize a church in Whitehouse, which was first known as the Dutch Reformed Church of Rockaway. For the next fifteen years, his barn served as their meeting house, and finally in 1807 when they had saved sufficient money to build a church, he gave them part of his apple orchard in which to build it. One can still see evidences of the foundation of this old church along the New Jersey State Highway, on the north side of, and adjacent to the old church cemetery.

58B Rev. Abram Van Home, son Abraham Van Horne (9B) and Gerh1.1de (Ghaertje) Wyckoff, born December 31, 1763. During the Revolutionary War he assisted his father as a Commissary of the Continental army until after the victory at Yorktown. Then he entered Queens College (Rutgers) and studied for the ministry and received his license to preach in 1792 according to Sprague' s Annals of the Reformed Church in America. He held three pastorates, one at Warwarsing, one near Kingston and his last at Caughnawaga (Fonda, N. Y.), from 1796 to 1833. It was during this last pastorate that there occurred the transition of the Dutch language to English so he had to preach in both languages. He married over fifteen hundred couples and baptized over twenty-three hundred children, and assisted in organizing several Reformed churches.

On October 13, 1785 he married Anna Co\-enhoven of Carraway, N. J., the daughter of Cornelius Couwenhoven and Mary Hendrickszen and she was baptized on December 6, 1767. Cornelius Couwenhoven who was born on February 11, 1746, died on October 10, 1806 leaving a will dated September 26, 1806. In this will he mentions his daughters Lydia Covenhoven, Nelly Van Horne and Anna Van Horne; his sister Catharine Van Brunt and her two children Daniel and Sally Van Brunt and his daughter Caty


Polhemus. The Executors were Cornelius Van Horne of Somerset County and his son-in-law, Rev. Abram Van Horne of Caughnawaga. The Witnesses were Tobias Polhemus, Timothy Murphy and Eleanor Brewer. As he was a man of wealth, Anna received a large sum of money, and Rev. Abram also received money and slaves from his father's estate. They always gave generously to all philanthropic movements, and their home was always filled with guests. He was familiarly known as "Dominie Abram" as he was a man of sterling character, and highly respected by everyone. He died on January 5, 1840 and she died several months later and they are both buried in the old Caughnawaga Church-yard in the back of the old Dutch Reformed Church of Caughnawaga, the site of which is now marked by a boulder and bronze tablet on the north side of the main highway, in the east end of Fonda, N. Y.

132B Cornelius Covenhoven Van Home, son Rev. Abram Van Home (58B) and Anna Covenhoven, born April 13, 1794. When his father and Cornelius Van Horne (108A) learned that they were both expecting sons, they planned to name them Cornelius Covenho-


ven, an ancestral name in their family. Before he graduated from Union College as a lawyer, he married Elizabeth Veeder on October 19, 1813. She was the daughter of Col. John Veeder of Schenectady, N. Y. .

In 1832 he decided to seek his fortune in the west, and took his wife and children all the way to Will County, Illinois in an emigrant's wagon. He purchased a large tract of state land near the Oregon Trail, and built a log cabin on Van Home's Point near the Hickory Creek Settlement, later known as Chelsea, Illinois. He did much in the shaping of events in this settlement, and in its early history his name appears often and prominently as he became their first Postmaster and first Justice of Peace. However his early years were clouded with misfortune as one day when the family were away, his house and barns and his beloved law books, were burned in a fire. He also lost two of his seven children and finallv in 1838 his wife died from the rigors of frontier life. ·

On January 3, 1842 he married Mary Minier Richards of Sandusky, Ohio and they had five children. After he became Recorder of Will County he had to travel about 150 miles to the State Capitol to look up claims and land-titles and he began to realize that he preferred the practice of law to farming so he moved his family to Joliet, Illinois. He was active in helping this city get its first charter, and because of this, he was elected its first Mayor. Recently when this city built a new bridge, it was named "The Van Horne Bridge" in honor of him. He died on July 7, 1854.

270B Sir William Cornelius Van Home, son Cornelius Covenhoven Van Home (132B) and Mary Minier Richards, his second wife. He was born at


Chelsea, Illinois on February 3, 1843. His father died in 1854 leaving his mother and five children penniless so he went to work at an early age as a telegraph· operator in Joliet, Illinois and soon began to acquire a knowledge of railroad operation and construction which lead him later to fame and fortune.

On March 1, 1867 he married Lucy Adaline Hurd, daughter of Erastus Hurd of Galesburg, Illinois. She was one of the first women to graduate from Lombard College, and when Abraham Lincoln visited that city, she was chosen because of her beauty and personal distinction, to give the city's address of welcome to him.

In 1881, he was asked to build the CanadianPacific Railroad so as to connect the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Because of the Rocky Mountains and so much wild and dangerous land, everyone thought it would take about ten years to complete it, but he was able to accomplish it in only five years. In 1904 he was knighted by Queen Victoria with the Order of the Garter, and several years later he was offered the office of Chancellorship of the Exchequer of England if he would become an English subject, but he declined the honor as he preferred loyalty to his Dutch-American ancestry. He also built the Cuban Central Railway during the American occupation which was another very difficult task.

When visiting New Brunswick, he feU in love with Passamaquoddy Bay at the mouth of St. Croix River, and purchased a large tract of land on Minister's Island where he built a spacious summer home caUed "Covenhoven" and raised every kind of farm products. This island was about a mile from the mainland and was approached by a sand bar where the tide divides, and is covered to a height of twenty

174 The Va11 Horne Genealogy

feet when the tide is at its height. There are just two of these sand bars in the world, the other one being in Japan.

He was an artist and painted many beautiful pictures besides collecting many masterpieces by wellknown artists of Europe, especially those of Holland and Spain. His collection of Chinese and Japanese porcelain was considered one of the finest in the world, and from a boy he collected all kinds of rocks and fossil-forms.

He died on September 11, 1915 and was buried in the Oakwood Cemetery of Joliet, Illinois where his grave is marked by a large rock taken from the Passamaquoddy Bay. The story of his life was written by Walter Vaughan in his book entitled "The Life and Work of Sir William Van Horne."

The records show that she was married three times and the names of her husbands were (1) Thomas Baddie (2) Cornelis Lambertszen Cool (3) Willem Brederbent. She married Thomas Baddie in Holland about 1607 and thev had one child. He died several years after their marriage.

Ae1tje Braconie married Comelis Lambertszen Cool for her second husband, and he was a widower with three children. The name of his flrst wife is unknown as she died in HoUand sometime before he married Aeltje Braconie. The names of his children were:

Ae1tje Braconie and Cornelissen Cool emigrated to Nieuw Amsterdam about 1637. Her name first appears on the records in a receipt dated May 12, 1639, which was given by John Jenny for the sum of twenty guilders. The name of Lambert Cornelissen Cool first appears on June 24, 1638 in a court action against Cornelis and Jan Van Voorst. Records also show that he was given a deed on May 17, 1639 for a plantation


in Kings County, Long Island near Gowanus. This land was owned by Thomas Beeche and formerly occupied by Jan Van Rotterdam and Thomas Beets. On April 5, 1642 he was granted a patent for this land and became known as Coal's Patent. He died sometime before January 5, 1644 as on that date, legal steps were taken for a division of his estate.

On September 4, 1644, Aeltje Braconie married Willem Brederbent for her third husband. He had emigrated from Cologne, in the Rhine Province, Germany and was a Deputy Sheriff (Schout Fiscaal) in Nieuw Amsterdam for several years, and he owned property there and a farm near Gowanus. The New Netherland Register states that on February 27, 1664 he represented Amersfort at a meeting held at Midwout, Lon~ Island, for the purpose of sending a delegation to Holland, and that on April 10, 1664 he was a member of the General Assembly representing Breuckelen.

Aeltje Braconie and Willem Brederbent were members of the Dutch Reformed Church of Brooklvn as their names appear on a Membership List dated September 12, 1660. They made a Joint Will on January 22, 1670, leaving all their property to Mary Thomas Baddie, the only child Aeltje Braconie ever had. This will mentions the fact that she was of great age and very weak, and she signed her name with only the initials A. B. while he signed his name in full.

2 Mary Thomas Baddie was the daughter of Aeltje Braconie and her first husband Thomas Baddie was born about 1608 in Holland. She married Jacob Verdon about 1626 and they had two children:

6 x Magdalena Jacobse Verdon, m. Adam Brouw~r Berkhoven.


7 x Thomas Jacobse Verdon, m. (1) Barbara Imbroeck (2) Jannetje Claes Bonen Luyers Theuniszen (3) Ytie Jeuriaens.

Mary Thomas Baddie and Jacob Verdon emigrated to America sometime after their marriage but it is not known when as his name is only mentioned once in the records and that was in a petition dated March 1, 1663 in which his heirs asked for an accounting of his estate.

For her second husband, Mary Thomas Baddie married Willem Adrianse Bennett and they had five children:

8 Adrian (Arie) Willemsen Bennett, b. 1637; m. Agnietje Jans Van Dyck.

9 Willem Willemsen Bennett, m. Gertrude Van Mulheym in 1660.

13 Catharine Van der Beek, b. 1645; m. (1) Daniel Ruychou in 1661 (2) Peter Corsz Vroom in 1679.

14 Coenradt Van der Beek, b. 1647; m. (1) Elsje Jans Schaers (2) Catharine Cock.

Mary Thomas Baddie and her daughter, Marritje Willemsen Bennett joined the Dutch Reformed Church of Brooklyn by letters from Manhattan on September 27, 1662. Several years later she gave this church a solid silver communion service.

In the State Capitol in Albany, there is a petition dated March 1, 1663 in which Willem Willemsen Bennett, Thomas J acobse Verdon, Adam Brouwer Berkhoven and Adrianse Willemsen Bennett, respective sons and sons-in-law of Mary Thomas Baddie, request their share of the estate of Willem Adrianse Bennett, deceased from one Paulus Van der Beek who had retained it.

3 Lambert Cornelissen Cool was the son of Cornelius Lambertszen Cool and his first wife, whose name is unknown .as she lived and died in Holland. He received his share of his mother's estate on May 1642 when he was twenty-five years of age as that was the age of maturity for boys in those days, and this document was signed by his father Cornelis Lambertszen Cool and the discharge was recorded. There is also on record a paper signed by his guardians Wolphert Gerritsen Van Couwenhoven and Gerrit Wolphertsen Van Couwenhoven, dated August 22, 1639 in which they asked permission of the court to "allow him to remove his cattle and take up fanning with his brother-in-law Claes Jansen Rust Van Emden."
