David, Contributions for the Genealogies of the First Settlers of the Ancient County of Albany from 1630 to 1800<http://www.amazon.com/Contributions-Genealogies-Settlers-Ancient-County/dp/0806307293/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1282837496&sr=8-1> by Jonathan Pearson<http://www.amazon.com/Jonathan-Pearson/e/B001KHNEXM/ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1282837496&sr=8-1> (Paperback - 1976) both new/used available from Amazon.com has a good deal of information on the Vander Heyden family you speak of including the will of David who married Geertruy Visscher. The print is so small so that trying to send you the page (121) might be self-defeating. I would be happy to send p.121 by surface mail if you provide an address.
