• Notes

  Per Larry Herrin: !RESIDENCE: Aaron and Catherine migrated from New Jersey area around 1750 for Pennsylvania and North Carolina. They settled in the Orange County, NC area which was later divided, forming Caswell Co., later Person Co. The Van Hook land laid in both counties. Their descendants came to Kentucky in the early 1800's. !WILL: Aaron purchased land in NC in 1756. His will was probated there in 1760. !DEED: Powell, William S. (1977). "When the Past Refused to Die: A History of Caswell County North Carolina 1777-1977". Caswell County Historical Society: Yanceville, NC. Page 35 "Hosea Tapley had a grant from Earl Granville for 400 acres on Flat River on November 1, 1751, but in 1756 Hosea and his wife sold their property to Aaron Van Hook who moved in from Virginia and paid 50 pounds Virginia money for the tract. In this same part of the future Caswell County that was to become Person in 1792, William Barnett acquired 200 acres a few days before Christmas in 1751."
