  Notes	(1) Zabriskie, George Olin, "Christian Barentsen Van Horn and Some of His Earlier Descendants," The American Genealogist, Vol. 43, No. 4 (October 1967), pp. 193, 201-202: Dirck (Derrick) Barentsen Van Horn, son of Barent Christiansen Van Horn and Geertje Dircks, was born 23 Jan. 1680, according to Williams, at Minkaque, now Greenville, but after his marriage he lived in the Acquakanonk area, perhaps in the southern part of present Paterson called Wesel. Later he lived at Slotterdam (now part of East Paterson) where his youngest child was born. He owned land at Wagaraw, now part of Hawthorne. His will, as Derrick Barent Van Horn of Saddle River Township, Bergen County, was dated 26 May 1733, not proved until 27 Aug. 1768 (N. J. Wills 4:449). He named as executors "my brothers, Gerret Gerretse and John Gerretse" (brothers of his wife), and when the will was proved, both were already dead. The court appointed as administrators Dirck's sons Barent and John Van Horn. In his will he mentioned his wife Elizabeth and their children: eldest son Barent to have "a lot of land on the Great Pond"; sons Garret and John; eldest daughter Gertje; daughters Leah and Nelsie; leaving to all his children land in Wagrawe in Bergen County. Dirck married 11 April 1704, with banns dated 19 March, in the Old Bergen Reformed Church in Jersey City, Elizabeth Gerretsen Van Wagenen, born 3 March 1682, baptized 19 April 1682 in the Old Bergen Church, daughter of Gerret Gerretsen Van Wagenen and Neesje Pietersen Merselis. She did not die unmarried as given in some accounts of the Van Wagenen family. These statements may have been based on an entry in the printed Old Bergen Church burial records: "Buried 24 January 1707, Lysbeth Gerrits, wid. of Guert Gerritsen, at Bergen," for this the burial date usually given for her early death, but this entry is for Elizabeth Cornelis, third wife of Guert Gerrits. As shown by her husband's will, Elizabeth Gerretsen Van Wagenen was still alive in 1733. Children . . . i. Barent, b. 25 Sept. 1704 at Acquackanonk, perhaps at Wesel, bapt. Bergen, 5 Oct. 1704. . . . ii. Gerrit, b. 1 Oct. 1706, at Acquackanonk, bapt. there in the Reformed Church, date blank. . . . iii.
