Derick (Dirck) and Cornelius VANDERBILT
Hello,
Seeking information on parents and children of:
Derick (Dirck) VANDERBILT b 25Dec1728 NY d aft.1810 m. (1)Gritje HOGELANT/HOOGLANDT/HOAGLAND
Had daughter Gertrude who m. Arie SMITH
Cornelius VANDERBILT b before 1760 d. 7Nov1824 m. 24(or 26)Dec1781 Catherine VREDENBURGH
Had daughter Margaret who m. Lambert A. SMITH
I have documentation of the marriages of Gertrude and Margaret to Arie and Lambert respectively, but cannot confirm by other means that Gertrude and Margaret are indeed the children of the aforementioned parents.
Derick and Cornelius are listed in the DAR Patriot Index. If I can confirm that either or both of the VANDERBILTs married either of both of the SMITHs, my ancestors, then I can complete my application to the NSSAR.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
