They were based in Ulster Co., NY. If you are looking for your wife's direct grandfather, there has to be at least several generations between these individuals. Not to say that your person is not from this family, but I don't have any documention to trace down any farther to try and help you. Perhaps if you have any more specific information about your John. Year born, or died, maybe someone else might have more information than I do. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. This family also went by Van Hoornbeeck in earlier generations. Some branches may have dropped the Van part off earlier than others. Good Luck, Amy
