  • Notes 
    • Hendrick Corssen dropped the patronymic "Corssen" & used the additional designative "Vroom" as their family name & are so known today.. He hailed from the Wallabout and on the assessment rolls of Brooklyn of 1683 and 1693. Hendrick & his family moved from Brooklyn to the Raritan River district of New Jersey, in the vicinity of New Brunswick, the same community where some of the descendants of Jan Corszen & Metje Cray first ancestors of the Sussex Co., New Jersey, group resided. The latter used the name "Corssen" as a family name & this circumstance may have influenced Hendrick Corssens children to use the name "Vroom". Apparently his grandfather was Peter Coursen Vroom which may have been a good reason he went by Vroom.
