General Notes: Husband - [Ancestor] Van Voorhees

---

To Hon. T. G. Bergen we are indebted for the signification of the Van Voorhis, formerly written Van Voorhies and Van Voorhees, as we find it in his work, entitled "The history of the Bergen family, with notes upon some of the branches of the Voorhies and other Long Island families." "Steven Coerte Voorhies, who emigrated to this country from Holland in 1630, was a son of Coert Alberts Voorhies, who resided in front of the village of Hees, or Hies, in the Netherlands, the word "Voor" meaning in English "in front of." E. W. Van Voorhis in his ancestry of W. R. Van Voorhis, after a search by the St. James Heraldry office in London in 1872, obtained a certificate, under seal of the office, containing a description of the coat of arms, which states "That the armorial bearings of the family consisted in a golden tower on a red shield, quartered with a tree torn up by the roots, on a silver field. The motto being ''Virtus Casteltum Meum."

He [the great-grandfather of Isaac Van Vorhis] immigrated to America about 1670, and settled on Long Island, New York.

This family traces its lineage back through the mist of many years to the days of 1670, when three Van Voorhis brothers sailed from Amsterdam, Holland, and first landed in the strange "New World." They settled on Long Island, where one brother was killed by a poisoned arrow, the other remaining on the island. [CBRWC, 1058] ¹
