Although I was once stationed in Germany and travelled in the Netherlands (LONG before I became interested in genealogy), I've never been to Huene nor have I ever heard of "Heune huts." Could you get your Dutch neighbor to expound on the meaning/origin of this term? It may have validity as a source of the TERHUNE surname.
Huene is reputed to be just a small crossroads in Lower (traditionally the protestant part)Gelderland, not far from Amersfoort (which is in the province of Utrecht), I believe.

He was not much impressed by it.

The capital city of Gelderland is Arnhem.

The capital city of Gelderland is Arnhem. Although the province of Gelderland lies mostly inland, it borders the Zuider Zee and access to the port of Amsterdam, and the more northern port of Texel (where my research indicates Albert Albertsen embarked for America on the "Key of Kalmar" in December 1637), was and is easy.
