The Van Horne DNA Project has identified the genetic pedigree of the Van Horn / Van Horne descendants of Christian Barentsen, and Matthys Cornelissen. The Van Horn descendants of Christian Barentsen settled in Bergen County, New Jersey and in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, before spreading out over the rest of the country. The two sons of Matthys Cornelissen, having been born in Brooklyn, moved with their parents to Monmouth County, New Jersey about 1700, and to Hunterton County by 1730. The Van Horne DNA Project has nine members who descend from Matthys two sons, Cornelius Van Horen and Abraham Vanhorn. Both Cornelius and Abraham lived out their lives in Hunterton County. The project is now six years old, but unfortunately, no descendant of Jan Cornelissen, the third immigrant to New Netherlands, whose descendants took some version of the Van Horn / Van Horne surname. If you descend from any of these three families, and they are definitely not related, we would love to have you participate in the Van Horne DNA Project. I will be happy to discuss the project with you and answer any questions you may have. Please write to me privately at msvnhrn@jps.net.
