      1. Zabriskie, George Olin, "The Jan Cornelisen Van Hoorn/Van Horne Family," The American Genealogist, Vol. 46, No. 3 (July 1970), pp. 170, 172-173:
      "Rutger Joris Van Hoorn, son of Joris Jansen Van Hoorn . . . by his wife Maria Rutgers, was born in New York and baptized there in the Dutch Reformed Church on 5 Jan. 1667, witnesses: Pieter Janszen and Hillegond Joris (child's paternal grandmother and second husband of child's maternal grandmother). Rutger lived in New Jersey, first in present Bergen County and later in what is now Hudson County. His first home was in the portion of the old Hackensack Township of Bergen County which runs along the east side of the Hackensack River, from about Bogota northward to New Milford, on or near the Demarest Patent. Later he lived at present Communipaw, a section of Jersey City along the Hudson River, and also at Pemmerpogh, now the Greenville section south of Jersey City along Bergen Neck to about Bayonne, or perhaps a location between these two, with one or the other being recorded at the whim of the clerk. Rutger owned land at Communipaw, Pemmerpogh, Bergen (central part of present Jersey City) and in the Raritan Valley of central New Jersey. In 1700 he joined with others in asking the British Crown to establish a royal colonial government for New Jersey (NJA 2:499), at that time living at Hackensack [Township]. He died 15 May 1741 and was buried at Bergen as Burial #291 on the 17th. His will was dated 6 June 1740 and proved in Bergen County on 8 June 1741 (NJW 2:499). In it he mentions his only son John and daughters Jane (wife of Dirck Cadmus), Marytje (wife of Elias Michielse [sic] Vreeland), and Anna (wife of Jacob Bergen). The executors were his daughters Marytje and Anna and their husbands. On 25 April 1697, in the Old Bergen Dutch Reformed Church, Rutger Van Horen, young man born in New York and living at Hackensack, and Neeltje Dirckx, widow of Jan Vanderlinde, living at Communipaw, declared their intention to marry. On 28 June the Bergen Church issued a certificate showing concurrence of the congregation with the proposed marriage but the time and place of the actual ceremony is not evident. Neeltje was born about 1665, as she was 22 years old in 1687, daughter of Dirck Teunissen Van Vechten and his wife Jannetje Michaels Vreeland. She died 15 June 1738 and was buried at Bergen as Burial #281. Except for the eldest child, all the children were born in Bergen County and baptized at Bergen.
