23 Jun 1710, Abraham Van Duyn (??probably not my guy??)
in a Bucks County Historical Society, called "A Lutheran Mission in Northampton
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):

Van Horn's second Marriage, NJ Lic and Bond date Aug 11, 1755 Maria Hosen,
