The list has been quiet. Is anyone out there?
I just received information that my ten year search of the death of Cornelius
Putnam Van Horne has come to an end. I will post what I have on his family in
hopes that someone is researching this family.

Cornelius is the s/o Corneluis Covenhoven VAN HORNE (first mayor of Joliet,
IL) and Elizabeth VEEDER. All were from NY.
They had two children William/Willard Putnam VH and Alice Virginia VH.
