2. Re: [VanHook-L] Van Hook and George Washington [1]
I have four, maybe five, Van Hooks who served during the Revolutionary War: Samuel Van Hook (1733-1818) and Jacob Van Hook (1761-1841) and Aaron (Arend) Van Hook (1747-1798) and Lawrence Van Hook (1755-1854) and maybe Lawrence Van Hook (1723-1797). I look forward to finding out about the DNA results. I've haven't done anything different with the one we took of my dad. Matthew Van Hook

Van-Hook of Colonel McDougall's Regiment, charged with "Disobedience of orders"--to be tried by the General Court Martial now sitting. Also [Note 26: Lieut. Arant Van Hook, of the First New York Regiment.] Not too flattering! Matthew
6. [VanHook-L] More John F. Van Hook stuff [1]
Since discovering the interview with ex-slave John F. Van Hook, I can see now how exactly his surname came from. In the interview in mentions that his dad was owned by "Old Man Isaac Van Hook" and that the milieu is Macon County, NC. He also mentions that his dad's name was "Bas Van Hook." In the will of Isaac Van Hook (1791-1849) of Macon County, NC it states: "I do give and bequeath to my wife Margaret VanHook my whole property consisting of one negro boy named Bazel." This is also consistent wi

Go to http://memory.loc.gov and search under "Van Hook" and you find the story of an ex-slave, John F. Van Hook, whose family was owned by Isaac Van Hook of Macon Co., NC who married Margaret Comer. Very interesting! Matthew
