ney. She is a woman of education and re- finement, prominent in the social circles of the city. By his first marriage he had two chil- dren: I. Joseph H., a graduate of Union College, class of 1901, degree of A.B., since which time has been associated with his fath- er ; has traveled extensively ; married Bertha Platt, of New Brittain, New York; they have one child, McMillian. 2. Edith, educated in the high school ; resides at home.

VAN HORNE Van Hoorn, Van Hooren, Van Horn and Van Horne is derived from Hoorn, a

large, pleasant and rich city, with a convenient port on the Zuyder Zee, about twenty miles from Amsterdam. It was surrounded with broad dykes, large pasture grounds and fine gardens. The name was written Hoorn or Hooren. From this city Jan Cornelissen (or John the son of Cornelius) Van Hoorn came to America. The exact date of his arrival is not known, but he was in New Amsterdam as early as 1645. From a power of attorney, which he executed October 4, 1647, for the purpose of collecting money from his guardian in Holland, it would seem that he came to this country before he had arrived at his majority. He was one of the remonstrants against de- fending the city against the English in 1664. In October of that year he took the oath of allegiance to the king. One of his eight sons was Joris, who had a son Rutgers (named in honor of his mother's family), who accumu- lated a great deal of landed property in Com- munipaw, Plainfield and along the Raritan river, New Jersey. At an early period the name was quite common around Hackensack, where it is believed the family made their first settlement in New Jersey. Jan Cornelissen Van Hoorn married and had children, from whom have descended a numerous posterity.

(II) Cornelis Jansen, son of Jan Cornelis- sen Van Hoorn, married, October 4, 1659, Anna Maria Jansen.

(III) Abraham, eighth child of Cornelis Jansen and Anna Maria (Jansen) Van Horn, was baptized January 20, 1667. He married Maria Provost.

(IV) Captain Cornelius, son of Abraham and Maria (Provost) Van Horn, was born October 16, 1706, buried near Whitehouse Station, New Jersey. He is believed to be the Captain Cornelius Van Horne who led a New Jersey contingent of troops against Can- ada in 1737. His will names wife Hannah, seven sons and three daughters. He married (first) Catharine Cox; (second) Elizabeth Lawrence; (third) Hannah Seabrook. His will, dated Reading, February 3, 1744, names

wife Hannah, seven sons, three daughters and "my brother Abraham."

(V) Abram, second son of Captain Corne- lius and his third wife, Hannah (Seabrook) Van Horne, was born August 28, 1738. About 1771 he made a journey up the Hudson into the Valley of the Mohawk, looking for a land location. He selected a site in the town of Florida at Warren Bush in the county of Montgomery as now constituted; did not re- move his family there until the following sum- mer. The country at that time was thickly timbered and great portions of it were virgin forest. He cleared his farm, and soon be- came one of the prominent men of the sec- tion. He was outspoken in his support of the cause of the colonies against Great Britain, and had his life threatened by Tories. He was a member of the committee of safety of Tryon county in 1775, and for the years fol- lowing, 1777-81, he was a member of the state assembly, and May 22, 1781, was appointed high sheriff of Tryon county. In the per- formance of his official duties his life was often in danger and he had often to avail himself of the protection of an armed guard, erecting on his farm a blockhouse for his protection. In 1783 he removed to Cansade- bank Church, later to Oysquaga Creek, Herki- mer county. There he built a mill and founded Van Hornesville, for many years a thriving village of Herkimer county. He died at Van Hornesville, March 5, 1810. His wife and eldest child remained on the original homestead farm, where she died at an ad- vanced age. He married (first) Jane Ten Eyck, who died without issue. Married (sec- ond) December 9, 1763, Hannah, daughter of Richard Hoff, of New Jersey.

(VI) Cornelius (2), eldest child of High Sheriff Abram and Hannah (Hoff) Van Horne, was born November 27, 1764. He married Elizabeth Young.

(VII) Daniel, son of Cornelius (2) and Elizabeth (Young) Van Horne, was born in Florida, Montgomery county, New York, on the old Van Horne homestead, May 19, 1801, died there December 24, 1889. He was a suc- cessful farmer, and a well known man of af- fairs. He married Sabra Hewett, born June 8, 1801, died December 10, 1888.

(VIII) Cornelius D., son of Daniel and Sabra (Hewett) Van Horne, was born April 19, 1826, died July 19, 1872. He lived all his life in the town of Florida, where he was a well known and respected man. He married in Van Hornesville, Herkimer coun- ty, New York, March 8, 1847, a distant cou- sin, Adaline Van Horne, born March 17, 1829, in Van Hornesville, and now (1909)

This family was originally MCELWAIN of Scotland. A branch of the family settled in the north of Ireland, from whence prior to 1727 there came James McElwain and his two sons, James and Timothy. James, the elder brother, never married. Timothy married and reared a large family in Massachusetts. It is probably from this family that Hoel Smith McElwain sprang. By marriage they formed alliances with many of the old Massachusetts families, among them the Dunhams, who trace to the "Mayflower," although that point is in controversy.

(I) McElwain married Rhoda Hurd, who died at the age of thirty-three. Her mother died November 7, 1813, aged fifty-eight ; her father, Bethel Hurd, died May 13, 1817, aged sixty-eight years. Both are buried at Georgetown, New York. Children : Hoel Smith and Hamilton McElwain.

He continued the business until his death with marked financial success. He took a deep interest in the government of his city and was both prominent and influential in public affairs. At the time of his death he was treasurer of the board of water commissioners who showed their appreciation of his service to the city by passing strong resolutions of eulogy and sympathy.

(The Dunham Line From "Dunham Genealogy" by Isaac Watson Dunham, A. M., 1907.)

In the published lists of the "Mayflower" passengers in 1620, there appears the name of John Goodman, reported a single man. He was assigned one of the garden plots ad- joining that of Elder William Brewster, and three years after his arrival was allotted land in the general distribution in 1623. Governor Bradford did not commence writing the Ply- mouth Annals until 1630, ten years after the arrival of the "Mayflower" at Plymouth, and continued the writing until 1641. At this time John Dunham was deacon of the church. having been chosen in 1633 to serve under Brewster. He also held the office of deputy for the colony, for which office he was chosen on June 4, 1639, when the general court was organized. These offices he held almost continuously the remainder of his life. It was not till the year 1650 that the list of passen- gers brought by the "Mayflower" in 1620 was made up by Governor Bradford. The Pil- grims on board the "Mayflower" in the fall of 1620 made a solemn compact for their mu- tual benefit. It is a disgrace that so precious a document could have been lost. It was not until 1669 that Nathaniel Morton gave the names of the signers of the compact. This was one year after the death of Deacon John Dunham and twelve years after the death of Governor Bradford. John Goodman was John Dunham, who as a separatist fled from England, escaped from his pursuers by as- suming the name of John Goodman when in Holland and America.

(I) Deacon John Dunham was born in the village of Scrooby, Nottinghamshire, England, in 1588-89. He married Abigail Wood, who was a distant relative. He was married in Leyden, Holland, October 17, 1619, and their son John was born near the time of the de- parture of the Pilgrims in 1620. The mother and child were not able and not allowed to ac- company him. This accounts for his being recorded a single man. She, however, se- cretly joined him in Plymouth. That he was known as one of the old stock is evidenced when in 1662 his son John received a grant of land, being one of the first born in the colony. In accounting for John Goodman (John Dunham) being reported as dying dur- ing the first winter, two reasons have been suggested: Either to avoid considering John

856

HUDSON AND MOHAWK VALLEYS

Goodman as one of the first settlers, or for the purpose of concealing his identity as John Goodman. Three years after the arrival of the first settlers an assignment of garden plots was made to the "Married Men of the Plan- tation." John Goodman had a lot next Elder Brewster. Historians state that lots for planting purposes were awarded to John Goodman and others. The same authority says he died during the first winter. It should be considered that John Goodman if a single man (as stated) could not hold a garden plot. Single men were obliged to live in the families of the married. John Dun- ham at that time was alive ; he was a married man and provision was made for his family. He was a protégé of Elder Brewster and also a native of Scrooby, and it would be very natural to give them adjoining lots as Governor Bradford states. John Dunham was chosen deacon of the church in 1633. This is the year some historians say he ar- rived in the colony. It is not creditable that immediately upon his arrival he should have been chosen for so responsible a position. The following extract concerning Deacon John Dunham taken from the records expresses the opinion of those who were about placing him in power as deputy of the Colony (1638). "He was a man of strict honesty and sterling character, quite prominent in the growth and prosperity of the Colony." By purchase and grants he accumulated considerable property. His son John had also received a special grant, being one of the first born of the old comers. By trade he was a weaver and plied the loom. He was a cattle raiser and one of the first purchasers of Dartmouth. "In church, state and business he was an approved servant of God and a useful man in his place." (Plymouth Colonial Records.) Children of John and Abigail (Wood) Dunham were : I. John, born 1620, in Leyden, Holland. 2. Abigail, born 1623, the first child born in Plymouth ; married Stephen Wood. 3. Thom- as, married Martha Knott; their son Jona- than was one of the first New England col- onists to settle in New Jersey. 4. Hannah, married Giles Richard. 5. Jonathan, see for- ward. 6. Persis, married (first) Benajah Pratt; (second) Jonathan Shaw. 7. Joseph, married Hester Warnall. 8. Benjamin, mar- ried Mary Tilton. 9. Daniel, married Mehi- table Hayward. 10. Benajah, married Eliza- beth Tilson ; he settled near Woodbridge, New Jersey ; he was captain of militia, and one of the committee of safety and council of war. Deacon John Dunham died March 2, 1669.

(II) Jonathan, fifth child of Deacon John and Abigail (Wood) Dunham, was born in

1632, died December 18, 1717. At an early date he became a missionary among the In- dians, along the coast of Massachusetts, going as far north as Saco, Maine. In 1659 he went to Martha's Vineyard, and in 1694 he was ordained at Edgartown by Elder Gibson. He was a resident of Plymouth, Eastham and Middleboro, and an owner of real estate. In 1673 he was constable for Middleboro; in 1675 selectman; in 1689 deputy to the gen- eral court. He married (first) November 9, 1655, Mary De La Noye, daughter of Philip and Hester D. Delano, who came in the "For- tune" in 1621. Delano was an ancestor of President U. S. Grant. He married (second) October 15, 1657, Mary, born March 24, 1637, daughter of Elder Henry Cobb, who came from England in 1629. Children of Rev.

Ann Maria Robb, first wife of Sala Ga- maliel Dunham (see Dunham VII), was the daughter of William Robb, born in Scotland. About the time of the beginning of the war of the revolution, his parents emigrated for America, bringing the boy with them. While on the voyage he broke his leg. When near the American coast their vessel was captured by a British ship and the parents were forced to return to Scotland. On account of his crippled condition William was allowed to land. He fell into the hands of an excellent man, a Mr. Chittenden, of Stockport, New York. Here he grew up. He later was an inmate of the home of Rev. John Adams in Massachusetts, and there he met and married Betsey Curtis. After their marriage they lived in Kinderhook, New York, for some years, finally settling at the home of his early bene- factor, Mr. Chittenden, in whose family lot they are buried.

The first bearing the FITZPATRICK family name of Mattoon of whom there is record was Philip Mattoon, who came to Deerfield, Massachusetts, from the east with Captain Turner and was with him in the famed Falls fight of 1676, King Philip's war. In 1678 he leased for eleven years all the lands which Major Pynchon had at Pocuntuck. For part pay he agreed to build and leave a house 30x20 feet, and a barn to be 14x24x48 feet.
