ELIZABETH3 VAN CLINKENBURGH (WILLEM2 KLINCKENBERG, [WILLEM?]1)53 was born about 1705 in New York or Pennsylvania54,55, and died Unknown. She married BARNARD (BARENT) VAN HORNE 25 February 1725/26 in the First Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania56,57, son of BARENT VAN HOORN and GEERTJE CLAUSSEN. He was born 3 April 1691, and died about 1751 in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.

Elizabeth married in the Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, on "25 Feb. 1726[/7?], as his 2d wife, BARENT VanHORN,[a] b. 3 April 1691, d. in Bucks Co., perhaps ca. 1751,[b] son of Barent Christian VanHoorn (Christian Barentson) and Geertje Dirks Claussen;[c] at least 3 children."[d] Although Elizabeth was living at the time her father named her in his Will of 15 May 1741, she may have died prior to 31 December 1741 as suggested in the following source: "A Barent van Hoorn, widower, who was born in Bucks County, married a Jannetje Boskerk, who was born in the Manor of Morland, December 31, 1741. . . If Barent van Hoorn, widower, mentioned above, was the same person who was married to Elizabeth Clinkenbeard, then Elizabeth must have died sometime between May 15 and December 31, 1741. Further, even though it is not of direct importance, a Barent Van Horn, widower, married a Janneke Slegt November 1, 1764. If this is the same Barent van Hoorn as previously discussed, then he was married at least three times."[e]

Further in regard to the Van Horns, the same source states: "The Vanhornes came into Southampton Township early, but the time is not known. On May 6 and 7, 1722, Abraham Vanhorne purchased 290 acres of land from Bernard Christian, by a lease and release. The land was probably in Southampton Township [Bucks Co., Penn.]. Northampton Township had quite a sprinkling of Hollanders among her early settlers. Among the earliest to settle were those who came from Long Island, New York, which included the Vanhornes, who came from the Flatbush section. The author believes as previously stated that Wellem Klinckenbergh and his family were among that group which included the Vanhornes.

The family name Vanhorne comes from the little town and Seigneuri of Horn in Brabant, Netherlands. Abraham Vanhorne was the first of the family to settle in Northampton. He came as stated previously prior to 1722."
