I am looking up my husband's family tree, but the records I have only go back to a Henry H. VREDENBURGH, born July 9, 1812. I have no history as to brothers nor other family members. I do have a list of his and Eliza Cole's children; Aaron b. 1833; Henry b. May 31, 1836; Jacob b. June 12, 1839; Maria b. June 28, 1842; Anson b. August 14, 1845 and George b. July 19, 1848. My husband is a direct descendent of George (FREDENBERG), he changed his name before leaving New York.

My ancestor Bernard "Barney" CRAMER died in or near Root on 2 MAR 1847 at age 74 at the home of his son Frederick CRAMER. I would like to find his grave as well as an obituary if possible. Also I wonder if his wife Anna (VAN VREDENBURGH) CRAMER might also be buried there. Their children, born between 1795 and 1812, were Frederick B, Catherine COMPTON, John R, Jeremiah F, William C, Bernard S and Peter D. Perhaps there is information in Montgomery County relating to my ancestors Jeremiah F (b. 1803) & Julia Ann (SHOEMAKER) CRAMER whose graves I have not yet found. Any information or advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

From Deb Goldgehn <debg@ocn.com>

Larry just did a search on Fredenburg's on the Net, and found your entry regarding Henry and Almena. My information at this point is sketchy, although I expect to receive more from my cousin in the near future.

What jumped out at me were a couple of similarities. My great-grandfather's name was William Henry Fredenburg, born in Jefferson County, NY in 1846. His father was George Fredenburg, born in Montogomery County, NY in 1803. Lots of similarities, but nothing quite matches! Just wondered if anything sounds familar?

Hi, Larry

I am trying to get more information on the following Vredenburg:

John (b: abt 12/12/1795, d: 8/2/1839) and Phoebe (Morehouse) (d: 1867) Vredenburg were natives of New York State. They moved to Crawford County, PA in 1831. John purchased 100 acres of land in Hayfield Township, Crawford County, PA. John's father was a minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church and was from Holland. John died in 1839, aged 42 years, from the effects of an accident (a tree having fallen on him).

John and Phoebe had four Children:
Betsy Ann Vredenburg (b: 10/12/1823 Schoharie County NY, d: 11/30/1899 PA) married Lucinda Hulburd (native of Hamburg, NY) on 1/11/1844. They had six children

?????
Delilah
Mary J.
Rachel

John W.A Jacob Vredenburg was living with David and Betsy Sebaugh when the 1850 census was taken, (b: abt 1830, NY) he may be a son of John and Phoebe. I have no information on the other child John W. son of Edmund died in Montrose, Genesee County, MI sometime in 1930. I can provide you with some more information on the line. Does any of this fit into your Vredenburg? Hope we have a connection.

Dear Larry,

Do you know if any of these folks originated from Doorn or Veenendaal, Holland?

I have Fredenburg - Fretenborough ancestors, however we are not having any luck tracking down Smith Fretenborough/Fredenburg parents John & Nancy (Monarchy - Modity) Fredenburg who may have been married in 1828 in Fredericksburgh, Canada. I feel they may have come from the Columbia
Co., NY area.

Their children: Smith b. 1832, Abram b. ca 1840, Adam ca 1840, Mary 1848 as known.

Have you ever seen the Fredenburg name change to Fredendall? Peaceful hill and peaceful valley or dale?

Thank you,
Sue
SA, TX


MY RESPONSE:

Sue:

While I have run across the name Fretenborough in the Census data I have always considered it a variant of Fredenburg/Vredenburgh HOWEVER I ran across a Francis Friedenburg in the Lee County, IL Marriage Records and Census records circa 1860 where he listed his place of birth as Germany.

I once worked with a woman who was born in Germany who confirmed that Friedenberg (Friedenburg)would be the German version of Vredenburgh.

There are alot of questions in my mind regarding this name: Fredenburgh / Vredenburgh, and where they all came from.

Hi,
I have been studying your web re: Vredenburg family. I recently posted a report to the Family Tree Maker user site for a branch of this family which settled in Rhinebeck NY in 1721. Their land has been in our family since 1906 and I have an early map of their holdings. I am interested in comparing notes with anyone who has information about the William Vredenburg-Heiltje Van Etten branch of the family. The John B.Fredenburg b. 1792 which you list on your bibliography page is probably a son of Benjamin Vredenburg from this branch of the family. I have not followed the family much beyond 1790. My interest is mainly in the inter-relationships of families living in the area of Rhinebeck known as the Sepascot Lands. These families include Westfall, Wells/Welch & Morris.

My information may be reached at http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/k/e/l/Nancy-V-Kelly/tree1.html
It includes documented cemetery and church record information.

My alternate e-mail address is kinship@compuserve.com I would appreciate any information you can give me--am especially searching for bible records from this branch. Please reply to kinship@icc.atlantic.net with a copy to kinship@compuserve.com.

Dear Larry,

Hi, my name is Lynn Vradenburg Wells and I am researching my family name. My family lived and still lives in Michigan. My great-grandfather's name was Charles Vradenburg. His son's name was William Isaac Jesse Vradenburg. I can't seem to find Charles' Father's name. My grandfather told my mother (his daughter-in-law) that our family fought in the new Amsterdam War and that at one time we had "h" on the end of our name. I am hoping that you might have an idea of where I can look or have you heard of this line before? It seems that my line had some connection to Cleveland, Ohio. Charles and Melissa Watts Vradenburg had four children-Mary (Molly), Anna, William, and Libby (Elizabeth). Charles fought in the Civil War with the Ohio 188 th Infantry. He enlisted in Ohio. He is buried in the Schoolcraft, Michigan Cemetery. On all the records that I have looked at- marriage, Civil War-Pension, having people look for his death certificate in surrounding County Clerk's Offices-I can't find any information. I did find his obituary and it said that he had a brother who was with him when he passed away. I am wondering if there was a military hospital for Civil War Veterans? He enlisted in February of 1865 and the conditions were so bad then that he contracted a disease that effected his health until his death in 1897 and maybe the record was recorded somewhere else? We have a picture of a Mary Bishop Vradenburg from Ohio.

If you would please e-mail me back. I am very impressed with your web site. I have been researching for about ten years and have talked with so many wonderful people.

Sincerely
Lynn Wells

Hi,

I just stumbled across your database a little bit ago. I've been researching my great-great grandmother, Sylvia Fredenburgh and looking for information on her parents, Henry Fredenburgh and Annie Showers.

To my surprise, I discovered them in Vol. 2, no. 2 of the 1994 Vredenburgh Searcher. I had just received a copy of the the Brownville, NY 1850 census as well as the cemetery records of both Annie Showers and Henry Fredenburgh and discovered that there are probably a few errors such as the date of Henry Fredenburgh's death. I have a feeling that the cemetery record is in all probability the correct one (there's about a four year difference).

I didn't see anything about who submitted the information. I am interested in getting information about this family and thought that perhaps you might be able to point me in the right direction!

I have some information on Sylvia's descendants and would be happy to share that information as well. The only information I found on her siblings was her brother so I am assuming that your database does not have information on her.

From: rfortier@nmstc.ca

Dear Sir:

I will soon begin work on the manuscript of a book detailing the history of the Curtiss Model MF biplane flying boat trainer and its post-World War One civilian derivative, the Curtiss Seagull.

According to magazines in our collection, a Miss Eleanor R. Vredenburgh of Freehold (New Jersey) bought a Model MF / Seagull in 1923 and learned to fly it. Some time later, she entered a competition in Cannes (France), winning two trophies, and also toured the coast of Southern France and Northern Italy.

How should I proceed to find out whether or not information and, hopefully, photos of this remarkable lady and her aircraft have been preserved until today?

Any suggestion you can make would be most appreciated.

Mr. Fortier:

I think I may have your Eleanor Vredenburgh. Her name was Eleanor Remsen Vredenburgh, born 26 Nov 1894; died aft. 1958. She married in 1926, Paul Micelli, who died Dec 1930.

I have attached a WordPerfect 5.1 file that has the descendants of her father, a prominent New Jersey lawyer.

On my webpage go to:

[http://userzweb.lightspeed.net/~vredenb/gedcom/g0000008.html#I1514} - NOTE: This link is no longer valid!

...for her father. I have omitted more recent generations from my
webpage, that is why she is not there.

I have a type script of this branch of the family which was prepared in 1958. At that time her address was 904 2nd Ave. Sea Girt, NJ.

I checked on the internet for Micelli's in NJ and found one:

R Micelli
31 Cedar St
Barnegat,NJ 08005-2420

Barnegat is 30 miles south of Sea Girt, right on the NJ coast, 40 miles north of Atlantic City. Of course there are many Micelli's nation-wide here are some of interest:

We have a Vredenburgh line. Our great-grandmother was Amanda Jane Vredenburgh, April 19, 1838 at Croton Falls, NY. Her parents were Harry and Elizabeth [Bevins] Vredenburgh. Family notes have both Harry and Elizabeth born in Danbury CT. We have no documentation for this. We have not been able to connect with any Vredenburgh line in NY. Amanda married Orville Walter Peasein MA. Two sons were born there and two were born in MI.

Hello!
I found your web-site and was hoping you might be able to help me. My gggrantfather, Edward Eugene Fredenburg was born 28 May 1861 in Red Hook, Dutchess, New York to Virgil Vradenburgh and Catherine Quimby. According to what we know, Virgil died in the Civil War or shortly thereafter, and Catherine, unable to read or write, couldn't remember how to spell the name correctly!

Edward came to Bay County, Michigan with his wife Jessie Carpenter and her family. They had one child, Virgil Carpenter Fredenburg, who was born 18 January 1891 in Hampton Township, Bay, Michigan. Edward and Jessie divorced and he headed back to New York, settling in Owego, where he remarried, became a prominent lawyer, and died in 1929.

I was hoping that you might know how these people connect with the overall Vredenburgh family. I did notice on your site under the 1860 New York Census index for Dutchess County, there is a V. Vradenburgh listed for Red Hook. Could this be my ggggrandfather? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Larry,

I've been into your site many times and I think it is very good. Do I think all V people evolved from one man,except from Adam, probably not. The group from northern NY state...maybe!!! I am going absolutely nuts trying to find mine. You would think they would show up occassionally (maybe they do and I just can't link them because I don't have my breakthrough information yet!

MY PROBLEM: I don't have enough information PERIOD!!

fact#1: my grandfather Albert William Vradenburg (according to his birth certificate) was born in Dresden,Yates Co.,NY 11-21-1903
fact#2:his father George Washington Vradenburg (according to the same certificate) was born in Ticonderoga, ?, NY Dec.16,1874 (that date came from Georges death certificate) Alberts birth certificate says George was a laborer in lumber goods..his dc says he was a carpenter..general building.
fact#3: his death cert. says his parents were: William Vradenburg and Sarah Bennett.
fact#4:we've been told George was born the youngest of 17 children (probably not all still lived at home when he was born)
fact#5:George married Sarah Elizabeth Alston (supposedly an extremely wealthy family
that disinherited her because of marrying George) (thought:maybe they met because he was working on the Alstons summer home in the Adirondacks?) she was born Dec.21,1879 Atkinson,Ill.
her parents:William Albert Alston and Jessie (Jessica?) Ransom
fact#6: two or three of my grandfather's older siblings were born in Lake George,NY
I've tried working within those three counties: Yates,Warren and Essex but I'm not picking up a trail at all:the names

I have are so limited.... it's looking like the only way to get a breakthrough is to go out there but I
don't have that kind of money right now (I live in Ca.) Can you give me some ideas? I also thought that you could possibly have something already because I'm sure people must send you anything they get on V people. Any thoughts you have or any infomation you can give me would be forever appreciated!!!

From: John Rowe <johnlr@sssnet.com>

In trying to locate my mother's family history, I stumbled upon the names Vredenburgh and Fredenburgh. Since the Vredenburgh family came from Holland and settled in New York state as did my family, there is the possibility that there is an ascestral relationship.

If you have any information that could tie our families together, I would appreciate hearing about it. The most noted member of the Fradenburgh family was Jason Nelson Fradenburgh who served in the Civil War in a regiment from New York. He was wounded in the first battle of Bull Run.

Thanks for info you might be able to give me.

Howdy, My name is Kevin Cahoon. My great grandmother was Emily Jane Vredenburg born apparently 21 Nov 1857 somewhere in Ohio. She was apparently a school teacher prior to being married. A census record I found for 1900 indicated that both her parents were born in New York and that she was born in Ohio. The census liter her as "Jennie". She married Herbert Elmore Cahoon 29 May 1884 in Arlington, Washington Co., Nebraska, U.S.A Unfortunately, they don't have records that far back. Someone said that her mother's maiden name may have been Jamieson. The only other information I have is that she had a brother Emmett (spelling?) and his wife's name was Rose. I know that she was supposed to be "Pennsylvania Dutch" and that her father worked in upper New York state at some point. After her marriage, she lived in Nebraska, and died there in the sixties.

Does this fit with any of your family tree info.

Thanks in advance

William Vredenburg was my gg-grandmother's first husband.

The spelling that I give here is as found on that application. She married her second husband at Fort Kearney, Nebraska in 1850, so I figure it is most likely was in Ark or Neb. Do you have any Vredenburgs that fit this time period?

Dear Larry,
My maiden name was Priscilla Alden Fredenburg and I grew up in the small town of Winchester, NH. We were the only people by the name of Fredenburg that we knew of for miles around. I don't know if I can helpyou much but maybe you can help me. I am quite new at using the computer as well. My father's name was Alden Fredenburg and he was raised in Keene, NH by an aunt by the name of May Castor who was his father's sister. His father's name was Mansfield Fredenburg and that is about all we know about the Fredenburg lineage. He supposedly came from a town in New York called Jewett although we are not totally sure of this. He married a woman by the name of Ethel Alden (who incidentally was supposedly a direct descendant of John and Priscilla Alden from the Mayflower) One man I talked to on the internet said that there was a Count DeFredenburgh who was given a land grant in northern New York near Keesville, and that he was a Dutchsettler. This man's name was Glenn Fredenburg. My father had a brother named Thomas and a sister named Ethel who grew up in Fitchburg, MA with their father and a brother who was adopted away from the family and renamed John Sullivan. He lives in Milford, NH and his original name was also Mansfield Fredenburg. Ethel' married name was Greene. Well, I don't know if any of this is of any use to you but if you have ever come across records of a Mansfield Fredenburg I would love to know.

I checked the 1880 Ohio Census, but was unable to find the family. I have limited access to American records here in Canada.

Hi Larry,

Just surfing the net I wondered if there would be any Vredenberg family outside the Netherlands. Sanning through all documents on your site, I was overwhelmed by all facts about Vredenber etc.

I could add that Vredenurg was a name of a castel in the city Utrecht, where at this moment a shopping centre with the same name is located.

I never put any attention to the roots of my family, but this is what I know. The grantmother of my father (born 1880) was married to Hendrik Vredenberg, who was a farmer and lived in the north-east region of the Netherlands (Tonden). They got 10 childeren. Also there is a small
village called Vreden in Germany close to the border in north-east region of the Netherlands.

I know that a nephew of my father did put some work into the family-tree. I'll call him to find some more information.

I wondered if the names van Vredenburgh, Vradenburg etc do all come frome the name Vredenberg. Could you give me this information?

Best regards,

I posted a previous query about WILLIAM VREDENBURG, but have new information.

According to folks researching this line, they utilized a different spelling for William VREDENBURG. They spelled it BRITTENBURG, whereas Mary Ann's pension papers state that it was VREDENBURG. My grandmother
pronounced it "Vittenburg."

William VREDENBURG married Many Ann WILLIAMS (b1824 AK) and they had one child, Don, (b1849 Ark). Williams died "about 1848" according to Mary Ann. According to new family information, Don claimed that his father was born in Ohio. I am sorry but that is all I have on William. Does anyone have any VREDENBURG/VITTENBURG/BRITTENBURG that lived in Ohio or Arkansas at these time frames? Has anyone found any of your family that could tie in with William i.e. siblings, parents, kids?

I have been looking at your websight hoping to make a connection, but have no clear idea where to look next. I am searching for the ancestors of SAUNDERS ELIOT (also spelled variously Elliot, Eliott, Elliott in family records). Saunders Elliot was born in NY in 1811. Records say that he came as a young boy with his family (? don't know his father's name for sure) to Kentucky(from near Syracuse) --probably around 1818.

He married in Hardin County, Ky in 1832 to Margaret Miller (the daughter of Adam Miller and herself a descendant of Du Bois, van Meter and other Dutchess County families who had moved to KY in the 178os by way of VA). One of Saunders Eliot's sons was named Stephen Eliot. Two residents of Elizabethtown, Hardin County, KY in the time that Saunders Eliot lived there
were Stephen V R Eliot and Jacob Eliot(they came from Otsego County NY which is also identified in records as being "near Syracuse" although it's not that near). They were involved in publishing, newspaper, mercantile, and held some public offices. Jacob Eliot eventually migrated to Tarrant county, Texas as did Saunders Eliot. Do you have any record of a van Vredenburg marriage with any one named Ellet or Elliot? I find a query mentioning a marraige of Tamas Ellet and Catrina van Vredenburg. Do you know of any issue of this marraige and where they lived? Also do you have any records of Saunders + Elliot or van Vredenburg? I know this sounds awfully complicated, but I am intrigued by the VR as it is an unusual find.

Hi,

I've visited your homepage a few times. Really nice job! It's helped me add a few tidbits of information to my search. My line converges with yours through Anna Vredenburgh (m. Barent Cramer, 6 Jan 1795, St Peter's Lutheran Church, Rhinebeck, Dutchess Co., New York). I have had the information commonly found on the Vredenburgh (Van Vredenburgh) line for a few years, but it is only recently that I've had the time to start any digging. Hence the reason for my running across your webpage. The information from Benjamin Vredenburgh (bapt. 13 Mar 1720) back is fairly well established, but information on his son Jeremias and grandchildren are not, at least as not far as what I have been able to find.

On your webpage you have Anna Vredenburgh as the daughter of Jeremias Vredenburgh (bapt. 21 May 1769) and the grand daughter of Jeremias Vredenburgh and Catharina Bekker. The information that I have would indicate that Anna and Jeremias are siblings. Maria (b. Apr 1767), Jeremias (bapt. 21 May 1769), and Anna (bapt. 7 Jun 1772) are likely the children of Jeremias Vredenburgh and Catharina Bekker. If I find any additional information or further support, I'll keep you advised. I live about 20 minutes from the New York State Archives and Library in Albany and about an hour and a half from Rhinebeck.

Larry;

I hope I am not causing you too much trouble in my search. I have another clue.

I was recently searching land records of Jenkin WILLIAMS (b1826 TN), husband of Mary Ann WILLIAMS (b1824 AR) who's first husband was William Vredenburg, according to Mexican War Records. In these records she stated that William had drowned, no other information. I know for sure that they had one child, Don Alphonso BRITTENBURG (b1849 NE). I strongly suspect that they had another child named Norma (b c1846). She is found in an AR census with living with Mary Ann's mother under the name Norma BETTENBURG.

In these land records in Yell Co, AR a Joseph VALKENBURG is listed. His land purchase is 1840, Jenkin Williams is 1830. I am looking at the possibility that Joseph had a son named William or a relative named William that married MAry Ann. Would you have any information on this Joseph's family or a possible William with this surname.

It sure doesn't appear that my ancestors could spell very well, as I already have 4 very different spellings for this person. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Larry,

I just came across your Vredenburgh genealogy (descending from  Jacobus Schuurman and Antje Terhune). I think that Antje's parents  have been misidentified and instead are Jan Terhune and his 2nd wife  Margrietje van Sicklen.  Antje's sister, Eva, is said to have married  the Rev. Theodorus Jacobus Frelinghuysen, close friend of Jacobus  Schuurman. Margrietje van Sicklen was the daughter of Ferdinandus van  Sicklen and Eva Antoinse Jansen.  Eva and Antje both named sons  Ferdinandus. (Eva was probably named after her grandmother Eva  Antoinse Jansen). This Eva was the daughter of Anthony "The Turk"  Jansen van Salee and Grietje Reyniers, very colorful figures in early  NY. (Anthony was said to have been the son of the pirate Jan Jansen  van Haarlem.

The problem is that Eva and Antje Terhune's baptisms have not been  found. They were most likely baptized in Flatbush between 1692 and 1700.
