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

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...

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.

and her next sister Martha was married at the usual 18 or so years of age.

It seems latefor her to marry at age 41. Internet shows
that Charity that married Joseph Moode was really a daughter of

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?

Marvin's book, Van Horn Family History (long shown to be full of errors) has list of
children including Isaac, born 5 Jan 1787, married Margary Ann Smith d/o
General Samuel Smith, Apr 14, 1825 by Rev PO Stidiford. (page 336) (1929)

OC 5477 for Gen. Samuel Smith mentions grandchildren Samuel S and
