THE VANDERHOFF FAMILY
Originally published in 1900 |
|
THE VANDERHOFF FAMILY.- In 1711 Cornelius Vanderhoff, .John
Vanderhoff, and Gertrude Vanderhoff came from Albany, N. Y., to Hackensack. They are said to have been the children of Cornelius Vanderhoff (or
Vander Horen, who came to America from Horen, a village in Gelderland,
Holland, and first settled at Bedford, L. I., from whence he removed to
Albany). Cornelius, John, and Gertrude Vanderhoff settled in the Saddle
River district of Bergen County. Cornelius married (1712) Elizabeth Laurence Ackerman. John married (1714) Lea Mathews Hopper. Gertrude
married, a little later, Peter Rutan, of Esopus, to which place she probably
removed. Cornelius had issue Geertie, Catharine, Jacob, Cornelius, Egbert,
and Jannetie.
John Vanderhoff had issue John, Geertie, and probably Catharine, Dorothy, Jacob, and Jacobus, but this is uncertain. The descendants of Cornelius and John are still quite numerous in Bergen County.
