      Daniel was married twice. His first wife , and ancestress of the compiler of these notes, was Magdalena, to whom he was married about 1730/31. Much controversy surrounds the identity of this Magdalena. Donald Sinclair, Curator of Special Collections at the Library of Rutgers University in New Brunswick was convinced that Magdalena was a VanNuys, or a VanNuys descendant (because of the names "Okey" and "Magdalena" given to her descendants.) In most cases where the name "Okey," a version of "Aucke" the name of the original VanNuys immigrant, appears among other early Dutch families, they received it from the VanNuys amily. Aucke VanNuy's wife was Magdalene Pieterse, whom he married in Holland, and the name "Magdalena" did not appear in the Hendrickson Family until a son of Daniel & Magdalena named a daughter "Magdalena." Much pro and con has been argued over who this Magdelena was, and with this brief introduction of the problem, I will leave it for further genealogist to pursue.

      Magdalena, Daniel's first wife, died in 1738. Daniels married second about 1739 to Ida Wyckoff (1710-1804) a widow, who was a great granddaughter of the immigrant Aucke Jansen VanNuys, and possibly a cousin to Daniel's first wife.

      Title: Van Nuys Genealogy - A Record of the Family of Isaac Van Nuys . . . Author: Carrie B. Allen Publication: 1916 Page: page 9, 11 Text: page 9. Jacobus married April 26, 1685 to Maria Willemse Cornel of Flatbush, Long Island. he died in 1710. Records show that he resided in Flatbush from 1688 to 1696, but he afterward settled in New Jersey. He did not rmain ther, however, as his will was probated in New Utrecht in 1710. The will gives the names of his children as: 1- William of New Utrecht. 2- Johannes or Jan. 3- Aucke. 4- Isaac. 5- Magdalena. 6- Magarite. 6- Elizabeth. 7- Maria. 8- Jacobus of New Jersey. page 11. As far as we can learn, all the descendants of Jan, one of the two sons of Aucke Janse Van Nuys who had families, remained in New York and New Jersey, at least for several generations, as did also many of the fmaily of Jacobus, the other son, through whom we trace our lineage. However, some of Jacobus' family, who settled on the Raritan and Millstone rivers in New Jersey, by the fourth generation were emigrating to Kentucky. So we of the present generation of Vannices (in Iowa and Nebraska) must trace our ancestry thorugh the states of Indiana, Kentucky, New Jersey, New York, thence through Holland to France, from which country our forefathers fled at the time of the terrible Massacre of St. Bartholomew in 1572. Date: 1916
