Hello Listers. I am not a Van Etten but rather a Van Natta. I am told all these different spellings all come from the Van Ettens in Kingston in 1600's. Point is while searching for the connection I have gathered tons of facts about the Van Ettens and their migration to the town of Van Etten, Van Ettenville etc. I read eagerly al your postings, better than a newspaper. I was very interested in the recent postings about bridges and river crossings. No one mentioned Martin's creek which was ferry crossing between NJ and Pa. It was operated for a time by S B Van Natta, I believe previous owner was his wife's family Snyder. Ruth Bauer
