This is a book about the ancestors and descendants of Isaiah Van
Horn a Pioneer of Indiana County and Drummer Boy in his father's
Bucks County, Pennsylvania Malitia. The book delineates all of the
descendants that the author could locate and includes information
about the family that he could gather from various sources and
individuals.
The Van Horn family began in the United States of America with
the migration of Barent Christianson Van Horn to New Amsterdam with
the early Dutch Settlers. Barent was the first Fire Marshal of New
Amsterdam. He was a burger and owned an acre at the Land Gate of
the Walled Street. That location is Broadway at Wall Street in New
York today.
The book includes some information about how later families were
duped into believing that they still owned this property and that
all would receive a portion of the riches from the settlement of
this claim to this valuable location.
The earliest ancestor in this work is Dick Clausen, born in
1616. There are over 6200 individuals included in the book covering
15 generations of Van Horn descendants. Over 1300 surnames are
linked with the Van Horns in this book with over 1900 marriages
delineated. It is interesting to note that the average life span
from 1600 to date is 60 years and 7 months. Some indication of the
longevity of the Van Horn stock.
Other surnames of note are Work, Stewart, Steele, Shaffer,
Mock, McElhoes, McCausland, McAFoos, Lydick, Lambing, Hutzler,
Hutchison, Hummel, Gearhart, Dilts, Coon, Condron, Burket, Aul and
Ashcom as well as over 1300 other surnames.
