"Early records note that the Van Hook and the Debow families were Dutch. One
Aaron Van Hook appears in the records of Orange County in December 1758 when he
was allowed 3.10 pounds `for provisions for the Indians'. He and others of the
name in Caswell County were descendents of Arent Isaaczen Van Hoeck who went to
New Ansterdam from the Netherlands in 1648. A son moved to Freehold, New
Jersey, and a grandson, Aaron Van Hook, reached North Carolina by way of
Virginia in 1755. The inventory of Aaron's estate in May, 1763, after his
death, included `1 Dutch Bible clasped with silver' and `1 Coat of Arms',
apparently a rather elaborate device always devised to the eldest son in
armorial Dutch families. The Van Hook estate also included other books in Dutch
as well as English."
