Notes
a. Note:   Description: on the ship "Victoria", arriving in New York Jan. 6, 1862
 Family history quotes the date as 1866, but Swierenga and Dutch emigration records support 1861. According to Han Stoutjesdijk, In the passenger list the following persons are mentioned: Leentje van Houten 48, Peter 25, Jacomijntje 16, Rika 11, Jantie 9, William 7, John 5, Antje 30. I suppose that Antje=Aartje van Houten and that John=Jan, illegitimate son of Aartje van Houten."

 PETER VAN DEN HOUTEN FAMILY
 by Leone Holkeboer/ Arthur Van Houten (compiled by Erin Heuker)
  It should be noted that the name was originally Vanden Houten.
  In the year 1866, a sailboat left the Netherlands. After a trip of eight weeks on the ocean this boat arrived in New York. Among the passengers was a group from the Province of Zeeland. One of them was a young man about 22 or 23 years old. This was Peter Van Houten. With him was his aged widowed mother, Leuntje (Prol) Van Houten, a brother William, and a number of sisters. The father, Willem, had died some years before. Whether the sisters were married at the time, I cannot say. Later when I (Arthur) became acquainted with them they were. The family soon arrived in Grand Rapids, which then was little more than a village.
 *********
 This is not correct. According to Han Stoutjesdijk's research in Swierenga's books and the Dutch emmigration records in 1861 Leentje van Houten, 48 year, Peter 25, Jacomijntje 16, Rika 11, Jantie 9, William 7 John 5, and Antje 30 immigrated. "I suppose that Antje = Aartje van Houten and that John is identical to Jan, born Goedereede 2/2/1856, son of the unmarried Aartje van Houten."
