NAME: Johannes Van Hosen (John 2, Jan Fransse 1), was the first man to take on the surname of Van Hooser. The change in the surname, no doubt, came through an English interpretation of the name, which changed the spelling first to Van Hoosen and then, since the "n" looked like an "r" when written, it was altered to the name it is written today; SOURCE: Van Hooser in America, by Joyce Lindstrom, page 7; RESEARCH: Sherry Smith.
BIRTH: Johannes Van Hoesen was born in Claverack, Albany (now Columbia), New York on land that was purchased from his grandfather, Jan Fransse Van Husen in 1662. He was the son of Johannes Van Hosen and his first wife, Jannitje (Jane) Janse de Ryck. He was christened 1 Aug 1697 at the Dutch Reformed Church at Kingston, Ulster, New York, which is across the Hudson River and down the river a ways. In those days, the people went where the traveling minister was, who happened to be Justus Falckner. The book, The World of Justus Falckner by Delbert Wallace Clark tells about the minister's travels in the early days of New York's settlements; SOURCE: Van Hooser in America, by Joyce Lindstrom, page 7; RESEARCH: Sherry Smith.
BOUNDARIES: Claverack, Albany (now Columbia) New York.
MARRIAGE: East Camp, Albany, New York; SOURCE: Van Hooser Book by Joyce Lindstrom, page 15.
