    DAR application 713037 (via son Samuel)
    mentions " VanHorn Family History of Hancock Co OH" as a source

    Pvt in Revolution
    Oath of Allegiance 12 Oct 1778 in Bucks County (this Isaac?)

    While the Quakers shunned military service, it would seem that Isaac Vanhorn
    was not associated with this church until he married Mary Betts (a youngQuaker
    girl). He is supposedly buried there with Mary.

    Note: a note on rootsweb says Isaac was disowned in 1792. True?

    Note: at Middletown MM, 5/1/1792, testimony against Sarah Vanhorn, late Twining.

    Isaac is mentioned in the writeup of his son Abraham in the History of Bucks County.
    Since it seems the author was talking with Isaac Van Horn, born 1813 about
    his grandparents and greatgrandparents, the relationship of Abraham, son of
    Isaac, son of Abraham seems pretty certain.

    The children are as listed in the will. Were Mary and Rebecca from Isaac's first wife?
    (the article above says Mary Betts had 8 children with Isaac). Answer: Yes, see wills
    of Jeremiah and Elisabeth Vastine that mention Isaac's first wife and children by name.
    It seems that most researchers have ignored Isaac's second wife, Rebecca Matthew?.
    Actually, Rebecca would be the second wife (or girlfriend or whatever).

    From History of Bucks County, pg 1029:
    Isaac Van Horn, retired, P.O. Richboro, was born in Northampton township, Bucks
    county, May 2, 1813, his parents being Abraham and Susan (Ruckman) Van Horn.
    His maternal ancestors were Welsh and Scotch-Irish, and his paternal ancestors
    were Low Dutch and English. Abraham Van Horn, great-grandfather of Isaac,
    came to Northampton township in 1720, and located in the lower end of it,
    the place now being owned by Mrs. Paul. He was a farmer, and is buried at the
    Van Horn and Feaster burying-ground. Isaac Van Horn, his son, wasborn in
    Northampton township, and died in 1831. His second wife was Mrs. Mary Betts,
    by whom he had eight children. She died about seventeen years beforehim, and
    the are buried in the Friends' burying-ground at Wrightstown, both being members
    of the Society of Friends. etc.

    and on pg 1019:
    James R. Van Horn, retired, P.O. Newtown, was born in Northampton township,
    this county, March 21, 1818, and is a son of Abram and Susan (Ruckman)
    Van Horn. His paternal grandfather was Isaac Van Horn, a native of Northampton
    township, a farmer by occupation, and a son of Abram Van Horn, who settled in
    Northampton townshipabout 1720.

    Some people have another son Isaac Jr born about 1787. But he's not mentioned in
    any reliable source that I can see. Maybe he died young? source?

    Township in 1748" discusses theVan Horn family, the immigrants, and mentions
    the connection between the Van Horns at the Vanhorn/Feaster cemetery and
    early Lutherans. It seems that maybe Abraham was associated with this
    and is buried here?? The article mentions an Abraham buried here early on,
    but doesn't mention it when the others are listed.

    T"he VanSkiver/Vanscivers came to New Amsterdam in 1600s. Original spelling VanSchuyven/er. There is a VanSciver genealogy that will probably help you: VanSciver Genealogy: Early Historical and Family Events by Charlotte VanSciver Miloszar. In that book there is a reference to an Abraham VanHorn who married for his second wife: Marie Hoesen, widow of Jan Wouterse Van Schuyven in 1755/ Abraham was son of Barent Christiansen Van Horn and Geertje Dircks, born 1695 at Minakaque. Abraham lived in Bucks county. According to the VS genealogy there were no known issue of this second marriage of Abraham." (this was a note from Diane VanSkiver Gagel).

    Unfortunately, the Zabriskie article doesn't say where Williams got his information.
    He did say "In 1911 C. S. Williams prepared a manuscript entitled 'Christian Barentsen
    Van Hornand his Descendants' ..... he did a creditable, though far from perfect job,
    but the same cannot be said of Marvin. He so badly jumbled his materials from
    Williams and elsewere that the resulting book qualifies as one, if not the poorest
    family history ever written about the New Netherlands families. "

    "Williams says the marriage to Mary Dungan was July 6, 1718.
    He lists second wife Maria Hoesen, widow of Jan Wouterse Van
    Schyven, who died 1777 in Bucks Co. All children by Mary, they were
    Barent, Mary, Jeremiah, Geertje, Abram, Martha, Jacob, David, and
    Isaac."

    From Van Sciver Genealogy by Charlotte Van Sciver Miloszar (pg 41):
    "...Martha is the daughter of Abraham Van Horn and Mary Dungan; Abraham
    Van Horn's second Marriage, NJ Lic and Bond date Aug 11, 1755 Maria Hosen,
    Widow of Jan Wouterse Van Schuyven. No known issue of this marriage. Her
    son William married Martha Van Horn the same year. Abraham Van Horn is the
    son of BarentChristiansen Van Horn (Christian Barents) by his wife Geertje
    [Di]rks, was born Sept. 12, 1695 at Minkaque. Abraham Van Horn lived in
    Bucks County Pa..."

    From History of Bucks County, pg 94:
    ... Abraham Van Horn, born in Bergen, New Jersey, died in Northampton,
    Bucks county, in 1773, onfarm of 290 acres received by deed from his father in
    1722. He married firstMary Dungan and second Mary Vansciver, and had six
    sons, Barnard, Isaac, Abraham, David, Jacob, and Jeremiah, and three
    daughters, Mary wife of Derrick Krewson, Charity, and Martha, who married
    a Van Sciver.

    Notes:

    I did have the marriage date of 6 Jul 1718, from Marvin book. Dropped (source?)

    Mary being the daugther of Jeremiah is based on the Clarke/Dungan book. I'm
    not real happy with that because it seems to based on the idea that these were
    left over children named Dungan, and they didn't know who belonged to Jeremiah,
    so by process of elimination, they ended up here. I don't even know the original
    source that says she *was* a Dungan! So for now, I'm leaving it in.

    Note in Clement Dungan's will of 1732, he mentions brother Jeremiah sole
    executor and has someone pay Jeremiah Dungan's youngest (living?)
    daughter Mary. That seems to create problems for Mary marrying Abraham
    Vanhorn in 1718 and being younger than Martha who was born in 1704!! One
    would think that this is a reference to a young and single Mary.

    Some issues:
    why did Mary not have children from being married in 1718 until about 1725. Also,
    she'd have to be of child bearing age in 1745.

    Answer - until I see a source, I'm discounting the marriage of 6 Jul 1718. There
    are plenty of mistakes in Marvin's book(!). I do think there must be a source (?)
    that says Mary is a Dungan. It'sinteresting that Abraham had a son Jeremiah, and
    I have seen some use of family names within this community at this time. Jeremiah
    Dungan did live in the area, and he did have a daughter Mary who could be the
    right age.

    Note - LDS has marriage circa 1731 (another LDS source has the 1718 date)

    1696 - Bergen Co NJ, Quit Rent Twp, Charistianse Van Horn

    More info is in "A Lutheran Mission in Northampton Township in 1748" from an
    article in 1926.I think this was presented in an early proceedings of the
    Bucks County Historical Society. pgs 45-47.

    From History of Bucks County, pg 93:
    Barent Christian Van Horn, eldest son of Christian Barents and Jannetje Jans,
    as before stated was probably born in Holland, a theory which is born out by
    the early date at which he acquired title to land. On March 26, 1667, Governor
    Philip Carteret granted to Barent Christian, of Menkauque, planter, fifty acres of land
    at Pembrepach and eighty-five acres on the bay called Kill Van Kull, both in Bergen
    county. On September 29, 1697, he obtained a grant from the propreitors of East
    Jersey, 160 acres on "Hackingsack River," joining that of his half brother Thomas
    Lawrenson (Van Boskerk).

    On May 15, 1703, Barnard Christian and his half-brother, Peter Lawrence, purchased
    1,000 acres of Robert Heaton, on Neshaminy creek, in Bucks county, which
    on September 18, 1707, the partitioned between them.

    Two days later, September 20, 1707, Barnard Christian conveyedhis portion to his
    two sons, Peter and Christian Barnson, Peter receiving 257acres and Christian 294
    acres.

    On September 29, 1707, Barnard Christian purchased 550 acres in Bucks county, of
    Thomas Groom, 274 acres of which he conveyed to his son Barnard Barnson, June
    17, 1714. He also acquired other land in Bucks county, and on June 2, 1722, conveyed
    to his son, Isaac Van Horn, 276 acres, and on May 6, 1722, 290 acres to his
    son Abraham Van Horn.

    He thus owned in all 1381 acres of land in Bucks county, though he continued to
    live inBergen county, New Jersey, and died there in 1726. He married,
    in 1679, at the Bergen Dutch Reformed church, Geertje Dircks, daughter
    of Dirck Classen, who was baptized in New York, March 5, 1662. The children
    of Barent Christian Van Horn and Geertje Dirckse were: etc...

    Notes:

    found death year on internet

    the problem here is that Jeremiah seems to be having a daughter Susanna
    around 1700. But then, if Deborah were the Drake born in 1686, she'd be
    only 14 years old - I don't buy that. Show me another family in this area
    at this time with the woman being married and having a childat 14!

    even Martha born in 1704 (the date suggests a baptism??). If that were the
    first child, Deborah would be 18 (and Jeremiah circa 30). That's at least possible.
    In that case, I'd guess that Jeremiah was actually born later, maybe after John.
    (and I'd drop Susan as a daughter and list George as born later).

    From History of Bucks County, pg 92:
    The Van Horn Family. The family of Van Horn has been a prominent one in Bucks
    county for two centuries, filling important positions in the official professional and
    business life of the county in every generation and constantly sending out its
    representatives to fill like important positions in other localities and states, its
    representatives now being found in nearly every state of the Union.

    The pioneer ancestor of the family was Christian Barendtse, that is Christian son
    of Barendt, who it is said came from Hooren, a city of the Zuyder Zee, about
    twenty-five miles from Amsterdam. The eact date of his arrival in America is not
    known. He was a carpenter by trade, and the records of New Amsterdam show that he
    and a fellow craftsman, Auke Jansen, were appointed, March 10, 1653, by the burgomasters
    and schepens of New Amsterdam to view a house, about the building of which there was
    some litigation. These records further show that he was frequently appointed a referee
    during the next four or five years. And he is shown to have contributed towards the
    strengthening of the city wall on October 15, 1655.

    He is also said to have been with the force sent out from New Amsterdam, September
    5, 1655, against the Swedes and Finns on the south (now Delaware) river, at
    Fort Christina. On his return to New Amsterdam he was appointed January 18, 1656,
    a fire warden, in place of Johan Paul Jacquet, who had resigned and "removed tothe
    South River in New Netherlands."

    On April 17, 1657, he was admitted a "Small Burgher" of New Amsterdam, an honor which
    carried with it the freedom of trade and a right to membership in the respective guilds of
    the town, and conferred upon natives of the city, residients there one year and
    six weeks before the date of the charter, burgher's sons-in-law, city storekeepers,
    salariedservants of the company and all paying the sum of twenty-five guilders.

    On August 1, 1657, Christian Barentze, carpenter, was granted by Peter Stuyvesant,
    director general of New Netherland, a lot in New Amsterdam, by the Land Gate,
    (now Broadway and Wall streets) for a house and garden. He also owned several
    other properties in the neighborhood, some of which are said to have covered
    a part of the present Trinity churchyard.

    Probably as a result of his tripto the South river, Christian Barentse and Joost Rugger and
    possibly others obtained a grant of land on the south side of None Such creek,
    a tributary of the Chrisiana, near the present site of Wilmington, Delaware, and
    began the erection thereon of a tide water mill. According to Amos C. Brinton, who has
    given much attention to the ancient mill sites of Delaware Barentse and Rugger,
    he began the erection of this mill in 1656. From the dates previosly given, however,
    as well as from other records, it would appear that the date of Christain Barentse,
    removal to the Delaware was sometime in the year 1657. Contemporary records also
    refer to the mill as a "horse mill," the truth of the matter being most probably that the
    horse mill was set up to serve until the tide water mill was completed. The low
    marshy nature of the land and the turning up ofthe mud to the sun caused an
    epidemic from which Barentse died July 26, 1658.

    A letter written by Vice Amstel, (New Castle) to Stuyvesant, under date of September
    5, 1658, and published in documents relating to the Colonial Historyof New York,
    vol. xii, p. 224, relates entirely to the affairs of the widow and children of Christian
    Barentse. It states that the widow had requested within three days of his burial
    that she desired red
