Marna, I also have Dorland in my line! John Dorland and Ann Robinson (DAR) of PA. My line runs back through their son Joseph Dorland and his wife, Elizabeth Woodburn. I have many of their relatives in Bushnell. Would love to chat, contact me. Marsha

I have a CATHERINE VAN LIEW, b. 1761, married to JOHN (JOHANNIS)(HANNIS) DORLANDT. This name has been changed many ways: DARLAND (is mine), DORLAND, DURLING and others. The earliest Van Liew I have, is JOHANNIS VAN LIEW, married to CATRINA VAN CLEEF. They had a daughter, DYNA VAN LIEW, b. 1704, d. 1740, married to LAMBERT DORLANDT (1712-1772). One of their children was the JOHN DORLANDT mentioned above. My DARLAND family settled in Fulton Co., IL. Is this of interest to anyone? - Marna - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pamelyn P.

I have Van Liew(s) in my DARLAND family.

I'm having trouble with one of my lists. This message is to test the other lists I'm on. Just ignore. Thanks.

And in James Snell's "History of Hunterdon and Somerset Counties, N. J." under the Franklin Township part, is a biography of Frederick Van Liew Voorhees, son of Jacques Voorhees and Ann Van Liew. Also a history of the Van Liew family mentions that Frederick Van Liew married Maria Voorhees, daughter of Peter Voorhees, and that after her husband's death in 1835 or 1836, she went to Batavia, Illinois to live with her daughter, Eliza McKracken. Under the Voorhees Family section are listed the children of Garret Voorhees (b. March 4, 1750) and wife Matilda Ditmars (d. March 21, 1827). Two of their children, John G. (b. 1793) who married Rebecca Van Derveer, and Maria (b. 1798) who married Daniel Polhemus, both lived in Fairview, Illinois at the time the biographical information was submitted to Snell in 1879-1880.

Hello, I was wondering, could Van Liew also be spelled Van Law? I have an Anna E. Van Law born abt. 1846 in Ohio. She married a Daniel Phelps in Mason County, Illinois. The Illinois marriage index spelled it "Van Low." I would be interested in any information her or her family. Anna and Daniel would be my husband's great grandparents. I do have information on their children. Marsha

Hi Jim and Everyone, Guess what, I have Van Liew blood in me! It's one of the many old Dutch-American families that migrated together in waves to the Fairview area of Fulton Co. from Somerset Co., New Jersey from about 1837 to 1845. Before New Jersey they lived in New York. You can read about this NJ to IL Dutch migration on my family website at: http://stipak.com/hageman/williambrown/Illinois.HTM#EMIG Included were the Brokaw, Voorhees, Hageman, Suydam, Ten Eyck, Hoagland, Powelson, Wyckoff, Groenendyke, Pumyea, Polhemus, Wilson, Williamson, Vanderveer, Van Arsdale, and many other Dutch-American families. Most of "us" together founded and belonged to the Fairview Dutch Reformed Church. This church is still wonderfully vibrant, and has a keen sense of its history; for a real treat visit the church's website at: http://churches.rca.org/fairviewreformed/ When you read the part about an early member of the church dousing the flames late one night when lightning struck it, think of my ILFulton cousin Roxanne and me-- that was our ancestor Isaac Hageman Sr.! Our immigrant Dutch ancestors founded New York in the early 1600s, although they called it New Netherlands then. I have spent many hours researching them, and share everything I can on my family website complex. To begin to learn more about the early origins of some of these families, you can go to this page: http://stipak.com/vanderveer/maria/MariaVanderveer.HTM Then enter the name(s) you want to search in the search engine there, and click on the links it finds. That is just one of several homepages on my personal website; you can click on links to other families mentioned there, like Hageman and Hoagland, to reach different areas of my website. For example, to read about the immigrant ancestor (Frederick Hendricksen VAN LIEW) of our Van Liew family, please go here: http://stipak.com/hoagland/maria/bios/2.HTM#P9992 If any of you are interested in pursuing early Dutch-American immigrant genealogy, write me off list and I will recommend some additional websites and mailing lists. So, Jim, now you know one living Van Liew descendant, anyway! Yours, Alice Jim Lawson wrote: >Back in 1957 a Cecil van Liew who was interested in genealogy sent a couple of letters of inquiry and some other information to my father-in-law, Rev. Marshall D. Ulm.

I'm doing a research paper on a 2g grandfather and his descendents who lived in and around London Mills. Does anybody have suggestions where I can obtain copies of historical maps showing the migration routes into IL and the development of counties? Jim

Back in 1957 a Cecil van Liew who was interested in genealogy sent a couple of letters of inquiry and some other information to my father-in-law, Rev. Marshall D. Ulm. I don't know if my father-in-law or one of his sisters ever replied to Mr. Van Liew. I don't know if Mr. van Liew is still alive or capable (for health reason) of doing genealogical research or if this has passed to one of his descendents. Based on what I read in his letters, the Ulm, Van Liew, Voorhees and Brokaw families intermarried in the mid 1800's. I have Voorhees and Brokaw families in my background, but have not yet encountered Van Liew. Is there someone who can shed light on any of this or put me in contact with some of Mr. Van Liew's descendents? Thanks, Jim

Hi, I just wanted to inform everyone that I have a new e mail address: [email protected] Mike is finally home from the hospital after 4 months and 6 days at Methodist. (Amazing what a tiny mosiquito can do to a human being!) He arrived home Monday, Jan. 20 by Advanced Medical Transport ambulance. He isn't up in a wheelchair too long in a day, but we're working on that. Lungs seem to be much better since he's returned home, hopefully he can loose that ventilator in the future. It's a lot of work, but it's so nice to have him home. His attitude is very upbeat and positive, just glad to be home. I will continue to recieve e-mail at aol for the next week or so...

Good evening list members I am researching an individual who died in Fulton County not quite a century ago. He was a Civil War veteran. According to information received from the Clerk's Office, the F.C.V.B. has a different date of death than I.. Does F.C.V.B. stand for Fulton County Volunteer Brigade? Are they descendants of Civil War veterans from Fulton County? Jim

Florida is apparently facing the same problem. I rec'd similar notification from the GAROOTS mailing list regarding possible closure of the Florida State Library as a cost saving messure proposed by Gov. Jeb Bush. While this is off-list, it concerns me that I see a trend developing among state governments searching for ways to cut costs during times of economic crisis which many are currently facing.
