Jan (?brnelis Van Eoorn was the founder of
tiais Van Horne family in America. The tirae of
his arrival is not known, "but he was in ITev/ Amster-
dam (ITew York) as early as 1645. He came from the
Cit3'' of Koorn, Holland. He was a man of means said
of superior education, ranking high in the astina,-
tion of his church and with his fellows; we find
him o\7nincj several pa.rcels of real estate and his
signature, Oct. 4, 1647 Jan Cornellessen Van Hoorn
is attached to a Power of AtGorne;/, on file among
the old Dutch records, l^ew York, giving authority
to Jan Jansen, cheesemonger of ITew Amsterdam, auth-
orising said Jansen to receive and receipt for the
income due said Jan Cornellessen Van ?Ioorn at Arri-
sterdam, Holland. His name signed "by him writ-
ten and spelled in 1654 as above, is still in a
state of good preservation.
Jan Cornells prospered, hi a children pros-
pered and were honored "by their fellow citizens ,and
prosperity and honor came to their descendants,
reaching, its zenith a'oout the days of the Revolu-
tion.
It is problematical if Jan Cornelius Van
Hoorn was of the old Van Hoorn family of Holland or
whether he viras simply Jan Cornelius Van .Eoorn ,';7hich
translated means £ohxi., the son of Cornelius^ from
Hoor2i. ITearly all the immigrants ••ifh.o cajne to Hew
ITetherland, had no other name than of such forms as
the following:- Jan Cornells, which means John, the
son of Cornelius -- Jan Cornellissen , which means
John, the son of Cornelius who was the son of Cor-
nelius; another illustration is Peter Peters , which
means Peter, the son of Peter -- Peter Peterssen,
which means Peter, the son of Peter, who was the
son of Peter. This method of distinguishing the
children of the family amongst the common people in
Holland, had gone on for centuries, and it was only
when one of the common people rose above his sur-
VAN H 0 R l-I E
roundings and performed some particular service
that he toolc a surname.
On the 23rd of June , 1645 , he was granted
two lots of land and on same day he sold a house
and lot south of Marketf ield Street , 50 feet wide
by 4 1/2 rods long, being part of the premises pat-
ented to said Jan Cornellissen Van Hoorn.
Jan Cornelissen sells and gives deed of a
lot on the Island of Kanliattan , with a bill of Sur-
vey, to Albert Pietersen, Trucipeter , Peb. 22, 1649.
On Farch 5th, 1653, Jan Cornellissen Van
Honrn sold a lot on east side of Port Arnsterdam one
and one half rods ajid lour and one half inches , by
nine rods and nine feet in length near Marketf ield
Street. The fort stood on the Hudson River front-
ing tile Battery, hence tMs lot to the east of it.
April 20,1561, Jan Cornelisa bought of Abra-
ham Pietersen at rev; Ansterdam, a water mill on
fresh water.
In a remonstrance of the People of the ITew
iNFether lands to the Director General and Council, no.f
in the Royal Archives at the Hague, dated September
?, 1664, in which we find the name of Jan Cornelia
Van Hoorn.
He ^.fas oriQ of the remonstrants ags.inst de-
fending the ciuy -rhen attacked by the English in
1664, and signs the petition to the Director Gen-
eral and Council, asking that the City may be sur-
rendered to the English September 5, 1654.
In October of that year, he took the oath of
allegiance to the King of England. He became a
member of the First Dutch Church of New York City
October 3th.
On April fourteenth, 1657, Jan Gornellisssn
Van Hoorn was entered upon the rolls of the i nimbi -
tants oil ITew Amsterdam aa a small burgher; he must
pay 25 guilders and have been a resident tlirae
years and six weeks before the date of the city
charter .
Jan Cornelissen Van Horn was the thii'd
V A IT H 0 R IT E
teacher of the Public School of the Dutch Church,
'E. y. after its organization, beginning his duties
some time in 1648, and continuing up to November
1650, about which time he resigned.
His occupation as teacher was in a sense an
ecclesiastical position recognized by church and
state .
He married Hilleronda Joris, it appears that
he died before June 16th, 1669, as on this day his
widow married Evert Pstersen, the widov?er of Griet-
je Arents.
The follov/inc Court Records are of interest.

May 16 J 1740a She mentions her nephews Abra-
ham and Matthew Walton of Duck Creek , also
Richard Walton of Staten Island, kinsmen Jacoh
and William ?/alton, William Walton, son of
Thomas Walton, god-son Jacob Walton, son of
Jacob Walton, god-daughter Anna Wa^ , daughter

Cortlandt , son of Stephen Cortlandt ,her broth-
er William Walton to be guardian of her daugh-
ter Elisabeth and in case. of his death my nep-
hew William Walton, Jr., son of said brother.
The children named in following order.
lo Violetta, wife of Edward Kicks.
2. Mary, v/ife of Cortlandt (Stephen).
3. Elizabeth, i'-oungest daughter and un-
married in 1740 o
4. William, not of age at date of will.
These children were all mentioned in her
husband's will. This unquestionable record
from the probate Courts establishes clearly
the family history of Ricketts for three gen-
erations, and utterly disproves the assump-
tion that V/illiam Rickett's (II) wife was the
daughter of William and Maria De Lancey Vxal-
ton.
Who then was Mary , wife , 1712 , of Will-
iam Ricketts *> There were Waltons on Staten
Island, and it has been conjectured by Stevens
who wrote about "The Waltons of New York" that
Thomas of Staten Island was father of V/illiajn
the founder of the Kev; York family. This
Thomas married a Iv.iss Lav/rence whose ma,rria,'7e
license is dated December 16, 1671. William
who married Maryeen Santvoort September 7^
1698 , might liave been so far as dates are con-
cerned their son. William's children were
Thomas 1699, Maria 1701, Jacob 1703, Will-
iam 1705, Jacobeus 1709, James 1711 ^ Abraham
1714.

was not the Maria above ia clear for she
would hare been but eleyen years old in 1712.
But her will mentions her nephews Abraham and
Matthew V/alton ,and her kinsmen Jacob and Will-
iam Walton, her god-son Jacob, son of Jacob
V^alton , grandson Philip Cortlandt , her brother
¥/illiaci Walton, her nephew William Walton, Jr,
But in 1740 v^hen itary (Walton) Ricketts made
her Yvill J the only Williaia who was a son of a
William, "vas he who married Cornelia Eeeicman
in 1731. His father was the Captain William
Walton v7ho had the monopol}'' of trade with the
Spaniards at St. Auguetixie, Florida, and the
West Indies and founded the fortunes of the
family. Prom the docunents at hand it appears
that Mary (Walton) Ricketts was hia sister.
The dates, the names mentioned in the wills,
the allusion to property on Staten Island, seem
to make this clear.
iiary (Walton) Ricketts instead of beiiig
the daughter of William Walton by his wife
Maria De Lancey was actually the sister of his
grandfather .

The storj?- of the ao called (AnBatje), (Ann) _,
Annecke Jans claim, of which Trinity Church Cor-.'
poration of New York, has been the ta:eget ^ is as
follows:-
Annecke Jans first appears in "Mow Fotherland
(New York) J as the wife of P.oeiof Jansen; 7/ho her
parents were,, or where she cajne from,, is not die
closed to us in ans' records , except that her mother
WB.a a Eiidwife. They first lived at Rensselaerwick,
where he 'forked as a famer , for 180 Guilder?; per
year. In 1636 he moved to ITew Amsterdam (Nev; "i ork
City) and died within a year, leavinj a -widow and
five young children.
His widoWj Annecke Jana , married second, Re/«
Evardus Eogardus about March, 1638. He './ac; Domine
of the IXitch Church, Hew Amsterdam, (iTev/ York
City). She died in 1663, at Eeverw^yck (Albany.
?T, Y.). To her children and grand cMlaren she
willed January 29,. 1663, all of her property, to
be divided equally among tliem, on condition t}^t
the four named should receive 1,000 Guilders from
the proceeds of the farm which she owried on the
North (Hudson) River, fenhattan Islands This
farm, called the "Dominies Bowery," contained
sixty -two acres, and was granted origin?, liy to
Roelof Jansan, her first husband, in 1635; coa-
firmed to his widow and heirs in 1654, and again to
the latter in 1667. On the 9th of 'karch , 1671,
William 3oe;ardus for himself and brothers, Jan and
Jonas,, and two of Annecke Jans' s cns-irt-la-.'v (acting
in right of their wives and by an assigiiment of
Peter Bogardus) conveyed this property?- to C"ol«

part of wZoat was swccessiYely called '"The Dulce's
Parm," "The Kini::'s Farm.." and "The Queen's Farm."-
In the year 1705, this last was conveyed by Letters
Patent under the great seal of the Province,, to the
Corporation of Trinity Church, Few York,, in whose
possession it has since for the most part "been.
The Bogardus farm or the "Dominies Bowery" extanda

Street,, forming an irregular triangle,, havinr its
"base on the Hudson River,, running however along
Broadway, only from Warren Street to Duane Street,
One heir,. Cornelius Bogardus, not having "been a
party to the conveyance to Governor Lovelace, his
heirs have claimed a share of this extensive prop-
erty,, the prosecution of vhich has formed the sub-'
ject of many cunning and some fanciful suits,
"brought by heirs against the Corporation of Trinity
Churchy each suit ending vdth decisions which pro-
claimed the honesty of tiie Church Corporation in
its acquirement and ovmership of this eixty-two acre
fam., I Paige' 3 Chian. Reports. I"V". 178: Opinion
of the Mono Vice Chanc Sanford in re Bogardus et
al. vs. Trinity Church,. Hew York, 1847,, 8 Vol. ppo
40). ITo one, as an heir of Annecke Jans, had a
particle of ov/nership in this sixty-two acres for
many years before it came into the possession of
the Corporation of Trinity Church, and no one, as
an. heir,, or attorney for heirs,, lias ever been able
to distur"b the title. It is not in evidence that
any of the Van Horn or Van Home families ^ ever had
a cent's worth of interest in the property of Ann~
ecke Jans, as her direct rieirs , at any time.
The foregoing story of the possession of
Annecke Jans is proved by the Court records from
evidences f^iven at the various trials of tlie suits
mentioned. It utterly refutes much that has been
printed in connection with Annecke Jans' property."
The story of the so called "Lord Waldron
Claim" runs as follows:-

VAN H 0 R IT E
In the year 1633, King T^filliam the fourtli^ of
Holland, kno^m in History'- as William the Silent,
PrincP of 'JTPVge , ga.v'i a grant of S7 .800 acres of"
land in ITev^ York Province, known as Harlem Plat Bo
Thia origiaial grant w^b -.irritten on four large skina
of the finest TelluiR or parchment, the writing was
in deep black and appeared as fresh and unfaded as
as if laade yesterda^yo
The "be -inning of each paragraph y^as one of the
elaborate capitals, such as are seen in the old
Monkish Latin writings o The four sheets or skina
were connected at the top ty e^^-eleta , with a purple
ri"bbon pasaiag throu^^h them, bringing the er.d^
together J which were sealed with wax, bearing the
impress of the great seal of the King of Holland.
The whole document was rolled on a stick of dark
wood and dsposited in a box of stamped Spanish
leather.
Tlxis grant vm,s giver to Lord Waldron and four
others, which number was increased in 3686, to
twenty-three, the additional persons consisting of
sons, daughters and sons-in-law. The entire px'op~
erty was willed to the fifth generation of the
second grantees and the sixth generation of the
first grantees. The generations are now extinct
in the Van Harne family. Brery inch of this land
has lawfully passed fro.Ti one owner to another ^
tlierefore, ths present owners hold titles which
cannot be successfully assailed.
Of the IP'olford Webber "Claims," so called, the
propertj'- originally comprising them passed from the
heirs beyond all hopes of recoYerVj so .me seventy-
five years ago. This last estate, which wag in
Holland, \ma ciade the subject of inquiry by the
then, Secretary of State at Washington. The re-
sult of his investigation showed that the authori-

this estate, declaring that after a certain number

the Government of Holland. At the time this in-
quiry was made these years had long; since elapsed,
and the property ha,d passed into the posseasion of
the Government and was be^^ond the reach of any
clairaant „ This claim gre-v out of the fact that
Wolford V/ebber of Holland married Annaka Coch^
daughter of Hendrick and ITeisgen Sel&yns Coch,
the;.' had but one son named
Wolford Anient V/ebber b. came to
America 1609. This Wolford Ament ^yebber married
Gertrude Hassing by whom he had two daughters ^
Kelegona and Rachel. Helegona ma,rried Philip Min"
thorn in the year 1696.
Wolford Anent Webber died in 1715, leaving a
Will bequeathing his property to his d^ui^hter
Helegona, and to his other daughter Rachel, who
married Jolm Vem Horn. Minthorn v/as maae Executor
but owing to the dan;3er of sea voya«;ee in those
days, feared to cross the ocean, but Bogardus,
Annake Jane' second husband, undertook to act for
hiia, and sailed for Holland, August 10, 1647 on the
ship "Princess." She \7as navigated bj' mi^j-take in-
to the Eritish Channel, struck upon a reck and was
wrecked upon the coast of Wales; Eighty -one per-
sons, including Bogardus were drowned, so the mat-
ter was dropped.
The canter of activity in regard to the Van
Horn "Clairis" now seems to be in Pennsylvania; the
point of attack being a large tract of land said to
have been owned at one time by Abraham Van Horns*
It is to be regretted that an^^ modern Van Horn does
not give his ancestor credit for the hard headed-
ness he was known to possess. The Van Horn's and
Van Home's of Hev/ York City, in early days were
noted for their wealth e-nd good business sense, and
it is absurd to assume tliat the heirs of Abrtun Van
Home did not know of his possessions. The real
estate of Abraham Van Home , passed from him by
legal title, in the regular way.

There ^»/ere in ^^ew l^etherlaiid , thi-ee families
of Van Horn -- Van Home , neither of whom was of
