VanHorne family cem. According to a biography of John Z. Anderson, who married Elizabeth's daughter Sarah [Eugene T. Sawyer, History of Santa Clara County, California, Los Angeles, Calif.: 1922, pp. 783-784] Elizabeth WAS a daughter of Cornelius VanHorne. Elizabeth's children were left $500 by Cornelius' daughter, Jane (VanHorne) Anderson in 1872, though that doesn't prove a relationship. It is true, Elizabeth could not be the daughter of Cornelius' wife, Sarah Dunn, whom he did not marry until 1798, but since Cornelius was b. 1750, he was certainly old enough to have been Elizabeth's father, even though there is no record of his being married to anyone in the period 1793-1794.
