The only Michigan VanOrder I had was Emma VanOrder but when she was living in Michigan it was under her married name, Atwell.She lived in Saginaw and Genesee Counties there. My grandfater has told me that Emma (his grandmother) was born in the Ithaca region of New York and he remembers her visisting Chicago when he was young so she lived at least to 1925.I don't know any more about her ancestors.There were VanOrder relatives whom had lost a son in WWII that my grandparents visited in Ithaca area in the 1950's.As I understand it, Harvey Atwell (my great grandfater, son of Charles Atwell and Emma VO) was named after his uncle Harvey Atwell.He also had an uncle Henry Atwell - strange coincidence.
