I haven't been following this Van Hoesen discussion too closely, but I keep picking up on the Planck references. Henry Jones has Anna Planck as the daughter of Ludwig Henrich Planck and Maria Oosterhout. bpt. 6 weeks old 20 Aug 1749 at Newton. He says an Anna Planck md. Cornelius Schermerhoorn 11 March 1764 (Loonenburg Luth Chbk). She would have been Leonhardt's cousin. In a message dated 4/7/2005 12:00:33 A.M. Eastern Standard Time, NYGREENE-D-request@rootsweb.com writes: If Anna Planck daughter of Leandert Planck is the one who married Cornelius Schmerhorn - then I find that connection interesting as Jacob Schermerhorn eldest son of Johannes Schermerhon and Janette Van Hoesen - he married a Stroop and that Johannes would have been his father-in-law who was scalped. That would make Maria Planck a niece of Johannes Strorp thru his sister Maria Stroop.
