    Notes 
    • BIRTH: No proof has been found that Bjorn or "Born," as he was commonly called in Springfield records, is a son of Johannes. However, he appears in Springfield at the same time as Christian, a proved son of Johannes, and he is about the right age to have been a sibling of Christian. These are the only Van Horns in early Springfield, and it seems doubtful that he was from another family. Bjorn is the Swedish form of Barent. His mother was the dau of Cornelis Mattyssen, a Swede. He was probably born at Teaneck, Hackensack Twp, NJ, where the family of Johannes Christainsen resided. The Reformed Dutch Church recs of Hackensack are meager for this period. See George O. Zabriskie, "Christian Barentsen Van Horn and Some of His Earlier Descendants," TAG, 43(1967):198-201; 44(1968):51 (FHL #973 D25aga). Age is calculated from age 65 on death rec, below.
      MAR: "Suffield Births, Marriages, Deaths, 1674-1850," Barbour Collection (typescript, 1928; Conn. State Library, Hartford), 94 (FHL #002980). Intentions were recorded, 9 Jan 1712/3, in Springfield Vital Records, 1:112 (FHL #185414).
      DEATH: Springfield Vital Records, Deaths, 2:34 (FHL #185417). Also see death record in Springfield First Congregational Church records, vol. 1, not paginated, where Born's age is given as 65 years (FHL #185410).
