Excerpt from Ancestry and Descendants of Cornelius and John J. Van DeusenIn tracing back the ancestry of these brothers we have depended partly upon the Van Deusen Family by Capt. Albert H. Van Deu sen for the connection between the immigrant ancestor Abraham and Johannes (5) Van Deusen, for the latter's data, the copy of his old family Bible record and thefohn J. Van Deusen descendants we are indebted to Mrs. I. N. P'owell' of Chicago, III. For the record of the Cornelius Van Deusen branches, we wish to eitpress our thanks to Mrs. Powell, Mrs. F. R. Fortune and all those who in large or small measure helped in its completion, but especially to Mrs. Peter Duryea of Stockbridge, Mass, for a generous interest and unstinted efforts and to Miss Kate Van Dusen, Mrs. Lillie E. Van Zile and Frank Van Deusen, whose memories seldom were at fault and whose patience and willingness never failed.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
