VANDERHOOF HISTORY

The Vanderhoof family History was originally researched and written by Wilson V. Ledley. New York, October 1959. This was obviously a labor of love by Mr. Ledley. His sources were Ship records, Dutch Reformer Church baptismal records (pb.), New York and New Jersey Court House records, other family histories and DAR record books. He states in his introduction that "Historically there was very little immigration from Holland between 1675 and 1848," The time of arrival into America for most generations is actually linked to the widow Geertje and her children.


Most of Mr Ledley's research has been verified BUT his research is not exact.
My "own" VANDERHOOF research has proven that. His research on Richard/Dirck Vanderhoof (my ancestor) that he lists as Richard #167,is not the son of SARAH BOSS. Per US census, Richard Vanderhoof Sr was between ages 80-90, thus making his date of birth between 1740-1750. Abraham Vanderhoef married Sarah Boss in 1752. Minor errors can be found in his work.

  43a CORNELIUS VAN DER HOEF, son of Johannes (#16), bp New York Dutch Church on 21 Aug 1720. Cornelius was a New York City watchman in 1741. During 1753-54, he supplied quantities of bricks to the city and was then appointed Constable of the Bouwery Division of the Out Ward. He never had a deed, but probably only a lease, on an eight-acre farm at Cripplebush, located at what is now 3rd Avenue between 41st and 43rd streets. On 20 Mar 1771, he was listed as a lessee, owing money to the city, and a committee recommended he be ejected. But he apparently came to terms with the authorities, since deeds from his heirs finally vested title to the land in the name of Martin Smith on 16 April 1796. Children:

  43 JOHN VANDERHOEF, eldest son of Guysbert (#18), posted a bond in the settlement of his father's estate in 1758, b Fairfield section of Essex County abt 1720. On 27 May 1742, m Lena, daughter of Hendrick & Leventie (Vandercook) FRANCISCO at Acquackanonk. According to this record, it is possible that some of the unidentified members of the family living in Sussex County descend from this line.
  
  44 HENDRICK VANDERHOEF, son of Guysbert (#18) b in Essex County abt 1725. Since there is a considerable gap from 1754 to 1772 between his children of record, there were no doubt others baptized at the Gansegat Dutch Church whose records are now lost. Hendrick served as a Captain of the 1st Company, 14the Regiment, Rensselaer County, during the Revolutionary War. According to Sylvester's history of that county, he also was one of the town officers of Pittston, N.Y. from 1789 to 1798. He was listed as of that town in the Census of 1790, having 2 sons over 16, 4 sons under 16, wife and 5 daughters, but of these only the five below have been identified. From the baptism of Johannis, we know his wife was named Sarah and the D.A. R. Lineages state she was a DOREMUS. If so, she was possibly a daughter of John & Elizabeth Ackerman, although she was not named in his will nor does she appear in Nelson's account of the family. Hendrick died at Cooksborough, N.Y. in 1797 according to DAR record.
  Identified children were:
  + 160 GUYSBERT, b. about 1750
  161 Lavinia, b. 1754; died 1818; m. 1773 to Simon VANDERCOOK.
  161a Geeshe (sup.) b. about 1756; m. in Schaghticoke 5 Feb 1778 to Johannes MANDEVILLE

  + 162 JOHANNIS, bp. 17 May 1772 in Pompton Plains
  + 162a HENDRICK, born probably around 1752.
  Also 4 sons and 3 daughters unidentified.
  
  45 GERRIT VANDERHOEF, son of Guysbert (#18), was born on 14 March 1730 and baptized on 29 March 1730 at Acquackanonk. From the baptismal records following, we know his wife was named Christine WEAVER, but her parentage is undetermined. No will has been found for Gerrit and the time of his death is unknown.
  Children were:

  47 MICHAEL VANDERHOEF, supposed son of Guysbert (#18), was born in Essex County about 1720 (says 1734 in #18, but this is better date). He was likely the second son named for his grandfather Michael Vreeland. In 1787 he witnessed the will of Tunis Spear of Acquackanonk (NJA 36:211), who was probably a connection of his wife Tryntje SPIER, whose name we have from the baptismal records below. There were probably other children baptized at Fairfield (Gansegat), but most of the records of the Dutch Church there have been lost except for the years 1741-42. He does not appear of record after 1787.
  Recorded children were:
  169 Rachael, bp. Gansegat 17 Sept 1741
  170 JOHANIS, b. 28 July; bp. 8 ;Sep 1754 at Second River.
  171 Sara, bp. Pompton 17 July 1758;
  
  50 JOHN VANDERHOOF, son of Isaac (#19) named in the latter's will, was b. about 1730 in the Acquackanonk section, or possibly Hanover Township, Morris County, where his father later lived. Served as a Private in the Morris County Militia during the Revolution. He was also appointed administrator in the estate of his sister Dorothy in 1782 (NJA 35:406). His will which was undated, showed him at Hanover Township, named sons designated (*) below, mentioned two unnamed daughters and a wife Hannah, whose surname is not known.
  172 *JOHN
  173 *ISAAC
  
  55a DIRCK VANDERHOOF, son of Jacob (#20), was baptized at Pompton on 30 May 1746. From the baptism of Peter below, we know his wife's name was Catrina, but her surname has not been discovered. The only basis for assigning Jacob as a son of Dirck is the naming of the latter's presumed son Peter, possible after his uncle, but this is at best extremely tenuous, particularly since no will nor probate records have been found.
  Children were:
  + 175 PIETER, bp. 20 Sep 1772 at Pompton.
  176 JACOB (sup.), b. 1771-72 (grave record)
  
  55 JOHANNES VANDERHOEF, son of Hendrick (#21), was baptized in the Bergen Dutch Church on 30 Mar 1724. On 26 Dec 1750, he had license to marry Frances (Rachel in the baptismal record) De GROOT (this is the same Rachel DeGroot assigned by H.S. Ackerman as the first wife of John -- #32; he was probably mistaken and should have had Rachel De Groot married to this Johannes rather than to Johannes #32), whose parentage is unknown, and they had one child recorded:
  176a Rachel, bp. Hackensack 17 Nov 1751
  
  59 PETER (PETRUS) VANDERHOOF, son of Hendrick (#21), was probably born at Bergen, N.J., but was baptized in the New York Dutch Church on 1 Sept 1734. As an unmarried man, he witnessed the baptism on 23 July 1769 of the daughter of his brother Gerrit at Bergen, while he and his wife Rachel Van Blarcom (Blerkon) sponsored a child at Bergen on 11 June 1780. He can be identified in the Census of 1800 as living in Goshen, Orange County, N.Y., aged "over 45" with a son and daughter, both aged 26-45, and a female under 10, possibly a granddaughter. According to baptismal records his wife was Rachel Van Blarcom (Blerkon), who was probably the daughter of Johannes & Jannetje (Van Zeyl) Van Blarcom, baptized April 21, 1728.
  Children were:
  177 HENDRICK, b. 22 Oct 1770; bp. 28 Oct 1770 in Bergen.
  178 Jannetje, b. 6 May 1772; bp. 18 May 1772 in Bergen.
  
  60 GERRIT VANDERHOEF, son of Hendrick (#21), who was bp. Dutch Church on Staten Island on 21 Jan 1738/9, although he always seems to have lived in the town of Bergen. His will, which named wife and children designated (*) below, was dated in Bergen on 31 July and probated on 20 Sept 1797. His wife Sarah Pryer, daughter of Abraham & Pieterje PRYER, named by her father in his will in 1799.
  Children:
  179 *Marretye, b. 3 July 1769; bp 23 July 1769 in Bergen; m David LISK before 24 Nov 1792.
  180 *Eva, b. 25 Apr 1770; bp. 12 May 1770 in Bergen; m. 8 Oct 1791 to Peter *SIKKELS at Bergen Dutch Church.
  181 HENDRICK; b. 18 June 1773; bp. 10 July 1773 at Bergen; buried 3 Sep 1777 RDC Bergen.
  182 *Ariantie, b. 23 Oct 1778; bp. 29 Nov 1778 at Bergen.
  183 *Sara, b. 9 Sep 1782; bp. 24 Nov 1782 at Bergen
  
  FIFTH GENERATION
  
  101 CORNELIUS VANDERHOEF (Jr.), son of Cornelius (#24), was probably born in Kings County about 1726. He possibly preceded his father to Monmouth County, where he married (N.J. License) 1 Nov 1751 to Elsje VAN KIRK of Freehold, daughter of William and Hester (Hankinson) Van Kirk, who ha been baptized at the Tennent (Presbyterian) Church on 16 Sep. 1733. Since no will is recorded, the time of his death is unknown.
  Their children were:
  201 Elisabeth, bp. in Marlboro on 28 June 1752; m. ____ ROBERTS; died 4 Jan 1819 at age 66.7.8
  202 Cornelia, bp. in Marlboro on 24 Mar 1754; m. in Marlboro on 1 Aug 1773 to Cornelius HANSE.
  203 Christina, bp. in Marlboro on 9 May 1756; m. in Marlboro on 16 Jan 1781 to Joseph MASON.
  204 Antye, bp. in Marlboro on 18 Jan 1761.
  
  102 MICHAEL VANDERHOEF, son of Cornelius (#24), was baptized at the Dutch Church of New Utrecht in Kings County on 17 Sept 1730. His wife was an Elizabeth ALLEN of Monmouth County whom he married (J.J. License) on 18 Dec 1760. Their children were:
  + 205 CORNELIUS, bp. Marlboro on 6 Sep 1761.
  206 Elizabeth, bp. Marlboro on 24 Apr 1763.
  207 EELIES (Elias?), bp. Marlboro on 30 Apr 1764
  
  103 PETER VANDERHOEF, son of Cornelius (#24), was probably born in Kings County around 1732, although the baptism is not of record. He was named in his father's will. The total absence of wills of these three brothers adds to the difficulties of identifying their children and the parentage of their wives. Peter had married (N.J. License) Maria BASSIT (or DORSETT) of Monmouth Country on 11 Mar 1761, and their children were:
  + 208 CORNELIUS, bp. Marlboro on 1 Jun 1763
  209 JOHN (sup.), m. 25 Dec 1782 to Patty BYER at Marlboro.
  
  104 (no records)
  
  105 JACOB VAN DER HOEVEN, son of Martin (#26), born in Bedford, Brooklyn, about 1724-28. His blacksmith shop was mentioned in the will of Nicholas Veghte, of Gowanus, Kings County, in 1779 (NYHS 9:75). His will, dated 17 Jan 1776, probated on 15 July 1785, named wife Catherine and children designated (*) below. This definitely places him as a nephew of Cornelius (#24) and Metje (Vanderhoef) Vandervoort. From the baptisms cited below, we know his wife was Catherine (GOLDEN (Golding).
  Their children were:
  210 *Catherina, m. 7 Dec 1770 (N.Y. License) to Johannes POLHEMUS
  211 *Mary, b. Brooklyn, bp. 8 Apr 1750 in Flatbush Reformed Dutch Church
  212 *Metje (Meltje)
  213 *Elizabeth
  214 NICHOLAS, b. Brooklyn; bp. 30 Mar 1754 at Flatbush; probably died young.
  
  113 CORNELIUS VANDERHOEF, son of Cornelius (#28), was possibly born on Staten Island where his parents then lived, although he was baptized in the New York Dutch Church on 12 Apr 1952. He is probably the one who served as a Private in Capt. Fleming's Company, 2nd Regiment, Essex County (N.J.) State Troops, and also as a Private in the 2nd Bn., 2nd Establishment, J.J. Continental Line in the Revolution. Various D.A. R. Lineages (87:24, 104,287) trace to him, but erroneously give his birth as 1745, which was that of his elder brother who obviously died young. In the Census of 1790, West Ward, New York City, there are listed two families of this name, each with one son under 16, wife, and one daughter in the first and two daughters in the second (see #131). One Holland Society lineage states that, according to tradition, Cornelius, who is said to have drowned in New York harbor, was buried in Trinity Church, New York, where baptismal records of his two youngest children are to be found, but the New York Dutch Church lists his burial as being there on 22 Apr 1793. From the one baptismal record below, his wife's name was Margarity KEYSER, and they had: + 215 MATHEUS (Mathew), b. 16 Dec 1781; bp. 21 July 1782 at Acquackanonk Dutch Church>
  
  127 JOHN VANDERHOEF, son of Lawrence (#33), was baptized in the New York Dutch Church 12 Dec 1762. On 31 Jan 1781, he married Lydia MYERS, Other than the baptisms of the children below, no further record of this couple has been found.
  216 Sara, b. 11 Jan 1784; bp. 14 Mar 1784 in New York; m. 1799 to John Gilbert BOGERT (GBR 86:108)
  217 LAWRENCE, b. 20 Nov 1785; bp. 25 Dec 1785 in New York
  
  129 CORNELIUS VANDERHOEF, son of Lawrence (#33), was baptized 3 Dec 1769 in the Schraalenburgh Dutch Church, although his parents undoubtedly lived in New York City at the time and most likely that was where he was born on 27 Oct 1769. He was just old enough to have been one of the two of the name listed in the 1790 Census, West Ward, New York City, each having wife and son under 16, one with one daughter and the other with two. Judging from his age, he was probably the first of the two. The names of his wife and children have not been found.
  
  130 No record
  
  131 CORNELIUS VANDERHOOF, son of Jacob (#34), bp Hackensack Dutch Church on 29 Sep 1751, born in 1750 according to D.A. R. Lineage 141:70. A Cornelius Vanderhoef of Little Britain served in the Revolution as a Matross, Capt. Andrew Moody's Company, New York Regiment of Artillery (Col. John Lamb) August 30 1779 (N.Y. Revolutionary MSS 2:341). Here again he may be one of the two Corneliuses listed in the New York City Census of 1790, although the D.A. R. Lineage cited states he died there in that year, having married Marie BEAUGEROD (with several of the same name in this generation moving between New York and New Jersey, identification is extremely difficult and is only tentative at best at this stage) and had:
  221 Ruth, b. 1789; d. 1849; m. 1805 to Michael KEANE b. 1777; d. 1817.
  
  133 JACOB VANDERHOEF, son of Jacob (#34), was baptized in the New York Dutch Church on 14 Jan 1756. Jacob probably joined his cousins (see #44 and #160) and other Bergen County families in their movement to Rensselaer County in New York around the time of the Revolution. From the baptismal records, we learn that his wife was Ketura or Catury GOLDEN whom he probably met upstate.
  Children were:
  222 Bethey, bp. 21 Aug 1782 Schaghticoke.
  223 Susanna, b. 10 Sep 1784; bp. Brunswick; m. Schaghticoke on 25 Jan 1806 to Silas WICKES
  224 JACOB, b. 10 May 1789; bp. Tiossiock (GRB 62:206)
  225 WILLIAM, b. 22 Mar 1794; bp. Schaghticoke 1 Jan 1797
  226 Margret, b. 12 Jan 1794; bp. Schaghticoke 1 Jan 1797.
  
  134 THOMAS VANDERHOEF, son of Jacob (#34), was baptized at the Schraalenburgh Dutch Church on 6 Aug 1758. If Thomas reached maturity, he could have been the father of Richard M. Vanderhoof (see Lee: New Jersey as a Colony &c.., 5:158,307,316), who named his eldest son Thomas, which was the only other occurrence of the name in this family at that time. This is the primary reason for the inclusion of Thomas here, since there is no other indication that Thomas, son of Jacob, survived infancy. Secondly, the ancestry of the Richard above is otherwise undetermined.
  Child:
  226a RICHARD M. (sup.); b. 1779-80
  
  135 HENRY VANDER HOFF, son of Jacob (#34), was baptized at the Schraalenburgh Dutch Church on 27 Sep 1760, moved to New York City shortly after the Revolution. He served in the War as a Private, Capt. Peter Ward's Troop Light Horse, Bergen County. Not listed in the 1790 Census in New York City, he made his will there on 19 Feb 1800 (probated 14 April 1800) and in it named son James, born 1784, to be supported by executor. From the baptismal record is the name of his wife Susannah BOGERT, but she is not identified in any of the accounts of that family.
  227 *JAMES, bp. Jacobus 5 Apr 1784, New York RDC.
  
  139 PETER VANDERHOOF, son of Jacob (#34), was baptized in the Schraalenburgh Dutch Church 27 Nov 1768. In the Census of 1790, he was living in the Out Ward of New York City with his wife, two daughters, and five other free persons. No record of the daughters has been found, but from the baptism of a son given below, his wife was Margaret HERRIOT. She died after the census since, on 12 Dec 1793, there was recorded a marriage in the New York Presbyterian Church of a Peter with Anne COE. Since his son had also been baptized in that church, it appears that Peter was a member there. His recorded child:
  228 DAVID, b. 7 Oct 1787; bp. 28 Oct 1787 New York Presbyterian Church (GBR 23:180), possibly died young as was not listed in the census of 1790.
  
  153 JOHN VANDERHOOF, son of Cornelius (#43), was baptized in the Dutch Church of New York City on 1 Apr 1753 and was listed in the West Ward of the city in 1790 census (as "Vanderhoop") with wife, son under 16, and two daughters. Since non of their names appear in the baptismal records of the Dutch, Presbyterian, or Trinity churches there is no listing for children.
  
  160 GUISBERT VANDERHOOF, son of Hendrick (#44), was probably born in Essex County, N.J., about 1750; however, he moved with his family to Rensselaer County, New York, and in the Census of 1800 he appeared in the town of Northampton, Fulton County, N.Y. (GBR 50:29) together with a Henry and Henry Jr., probably his eldest son and brother. His will was made at Wells, Montgomery County on 26 Feb 1825, probated 12 May 1826, and in it he named children designated (*) below, stating Henry was the eldest. He had married on 20 Mar 1771 to Elizabeth MEAD at the Second River Dutch Church and they had:
  + 229 *HENDRICK, b. about 1772
  230 Jannetje, b. 22 Apr 1774; bp. Schaghticoke.
  231 *JELLES (or GILES), b. 12 Dec 1776; bp. Schaghticoke.
  + 232 JOHANES, b. 12 Nov 1778; bp. Schaghticoke.
  233 *GILBERT, b. about 1780 (or earlier if 1800 Census is correct, then with father in Northampton aged 26-45 with two sons 16-26, wife over 45 and daughter under 10. However, it is possible he had married an older widow with two grown sons. At any rate, in the list above, and with Hendrick named as the eldest, there is no room for him before 1780).
  234 Sarah, b. 26 May 1782; bp. Schaghticoke.
  235 *LISTEL, b. about 1784
  236 Levyntje (Levyntie), b. 16 July 1786; bp. 18 Feb 1787 Schaghticoke.
  237 Elizabeth, b. 14 Feb 1791; bp 6 Mar 1792 at Schaghticoke
  238 *JOAL, b. 2 Apr 1794; bp. 24 Apr 1794 Schaghticoke.
  
  162 JOHN VANDERHOOF, son of Hendrick (#44), was bp. 17 May 1772 at Pompton Plains, N.J., his wife's given name was Sarah. Children were:
  239 HENRY, b. 21 June 1793; bp. 20 Oct 1793 at Schaghticoke
  240 GILBERT, b. 27 Dec 1798; bp. 20 Feb 1799.
  
  162a HENRY VANDERHOOF, son of Hendrick (#44) was probably born in Essex County about 1750. He was listed in the Census of 1800 (GBR 50:29) in Northampton, Fulton County, N.Y., with his brother Gilbert, then three sons under 10, one 10-16, wife also aged 26-45, and a daughter under 10. From the baptism below, wife's given name was Rachel, and the Van Houten genealogy shows Cornelis & Rachael (Post) VAN HOUTEN had a daughter of that name born 26 Dec 1759; bp. 6 Jan 1750 at Acquackanonk. (H.S. Ackerman: Descendants of Roelof Van Houten, does not cite this marriage). The one child recorded is:
  241 Catriena, bp. at Pompton on 5 Aug 1773; sp. Cornelis & Rachael Van Houten (grandparents), probably died young since she is not listed in the 1800 Census or else was then married.
  
  166 HENDRICK VANDERHOFF, son of Abraham (#46), was born 30 June and baptized 29 July 1753 at Acquackanonk. From baptismal records his wife was Rachael KIERSTEDE,daughter of John & Rachel (Van Houten) Kierstede, born in 1763.
  They have two children of record:
  242 Sarah, b. 17 Aug 1789; bp. 13 Sep 1789 at Acquackanonk.
  243 Margrietje, b. 12 Oct 1791; bp. Acquackanonk.
  
  167 RICHARD (or Dirck) VANDERHOFF, son of Abraham (#46), and so named in his will, was probably born in Caldwell Township about 1760, or at Gansegat according to his marriage record. He was first married to Sarah THOMAS, born in Perikenis on 19 Jan 1783, at Acquackanonk, by whom he had:
  
  244 Sarah, b. 19 Nov 1783; bp 11 Jan 1784 at Acquackanonk.
  
  From the two baptismal records following, it appears as if Richard moved further out into Morris County and married a second time to one Catharina YOUNG, by whom he had:
  245 DERRICK, bp. 30 Aug 1788 at Montville Dutch Church.
  246 ABRAHAM, bp. 5 Jan 17197 at Pompton Plains RDC.
  
  170 JOHN VANDERHOEF, son of Michael (#47), was born 7 July 1754 and baptized 8 Sept 1754 at the Second River Dutch Church. At the same church he and wife Sara REYKE baptized:
  
  248 Catriena, b. 22 July 1776; bp. 18 Aug 1776; She is probably the one who married in Acquackanonk on 11 Jan 1795 to one Gerrebrand BRUYN.
  
  It is probably the same John Vanderhoef, born at Menonkong, living at New Barbadoes Neck, who married a Maria LINSIS (or LINSEY) who was born and living at New Barbadoes Neck, on 8 Aug1778 at Acquackanonk (also recorded at Pompton). They had:
  249 JACOB, b. 28 Jan 1778; bp. 9 Aug 1778 at Acquackanonk.
  175 PETER VANDERHOFF, son of Dirck (#55a), was baptized at Pompton on 20 Sep 1772. In the Census of 1800 at Goshen in Orange County, New York, there is listed a Peter Van der Hoff, aged 26-45, wife same age, son and daughter under 10, and other unidentified females in the household who may have been his wife's relations. She, from the one baptismal record at hand, was Jude SMITH, and they had:
  250 Elizabeth, b. 9 Feb 1797; bp. Pompton Dutch Church
  
  176 JACOB VANDERHOFF, supposed son of Dirck (#55a), was born 1771-72 from his grave record in Morris County. The only basis of assigning Jacob as a son of Dirck is the naming of his presumed first son, Peter, probably after the boy's uncle above, but this is at best only tentative. He had been married by the Morris County Clerk (GMNJ 4:31) to Anne HOPLAR on 25 Jan 1796, who subsequently died on 27 Feb 1841 in her 69the year. Their presumed son:
  251 PETER (sup.), b. 1797-98; d. 17 Apr 1847 in his 50the year; wife Rachael died 12 Nov 1850 in her 50the year.
  252 JOHN SAREN
  253 SAMUEL (Samuel also came to Wisconsin, settling in Calumet County. He is buried in an old cemetery near Plymouth. He was the father of Joe Vanderhoof who lived in Marshfield.
