General Notes: Husband - [Ancestor] Van Dyke

---

This family is descended from Thomas Vandyke, of Amsterdam, Holland, who came to Long Island, New York, in 1652, with his three sons, Hendrick Friscal, Jan Thomassen and Franz Claessen. It is not stated that they settled there, and it seems that the ancestors settled in Virginia, thence coming north. The family in Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, traces descent through Jan Thomassen, and Nicholas Van Dyke, the first governor of the State of Delaware, was of this line, as also Dr. Henry van Dyke, of Princeton Univer-sity. There were many preachers in the family and several for-eign missionaries of this name. The Vandykes were formerly Dutch Reformed and Presbyterian, but eventually were to be found in almost all the denominations.

George Vandyke, was possibly a son of the William Vandyke who, according to family tradition, moved West with his family from Delaware in the late 1700s or early 1800s.
