A One-Name Study for the BARNUM/BARNHAM Surname
The family of Van Houten, although of Dutch extraction, claims New Jersey as the birthplace of its later branches. Peter C. Van Houten was a native of the above State, and his daughter Rachael was born in Bergen County in Oct. 1823. Her mother was Miss Ann Winney, who also traced her ancestry to good old Netherland stock. Mr. Van Houten early removed with the family to New York City, and joined the army in 1812 as sergeant, having during the conflict been stationed at Sandy Hook. He subsequently moved to Michigan, where his death occurred in 1870, in Sunfield.
