Henry Hudson's ship the Half Moon:
The English navigator, Henry Hudson, while exploring on behalf of
the Dutch East India Company in 1609, discovered New York harbor, the island of Manhattan
and the river later named for him. In 1626 the Dutch West India company purchased the
island from the Indians and named it New Amsterdam included in their colony of New
Netherland. Twelve years later Albert Albertse arrived to found the Terhune family.

My maternal grandfather, Dr. Rufus Webster Terhune, 1866 - 1946, a noted family historian and genealogist, authored the widely used Terhune Genealogy (Part I) chart earlier this century. In the decades following the creation of his chart Dr. Terhune continued to research and document Terhune history and genealogy until his death in 1946. From his many unpublished manuscripts, and other sources, I have written A Terhune Family History and Genealogy which I hope will inform and interest Terhunes, their relatives, and all others concerned with Dutch colonial and Midwestern history and genealogy.

I look forward to hearing from you!
