About Johannes van der Horst
- freepages.genealogy.rootsweb... , goodwinfamilyhistory... ; e-familytree... ;
- John, aka: Johannis Vander Horst. "First Families of America" (Virkus), Vol I, page 867: John Vander Horst, a soldier in the army of the Prince of Orange, came from Holland to New York about 1690 and moved to Charleston, SC about 1695. (Note: these dates are too late. other records indicate he came some years earlier).
- Warrants for land in SC - Vol. 3 - p. 80; 2 Dec 1694. to Thomas Smith, Gentleman, 650 acres "on acct. of arrival Rights for the arrival of fourteen persons named: Sabina de Vignon, John Vander Hoas, Arnoldus Vos" (and eleven others).
- As the name indicates this line came from the Netherlands. Founder of the line in America was John Vanderhorst. He is said to have gone first to New York, which was settled by colonists from Holland and called New Amsterdam. But the British had taken it and renamed it New York. John soon went to SC. A group of people from Holland came to SC under leadership of John D'Arsens, Sieur van Vernhaut. John Vanderhorst was without much doubt one of these. Possibly they all went first to New York. Some, perhaps most, of them were Huguenots, whose ancestors had fled from France. read more...
