Michael Pauluzen Van der Voort
Michael Pauluzen van der Voort (approximately 1615 to 1690) - was an early resident of New Amsterdam and an early settler of Talbot County, Maryland. In New Amsterdam, in 1640, he married Marretje Maria Rapelje, whose older sister, Sarah, was the first European born in the New Netherland colony. Michael’s enterprises included real estate, shipping, tavern keeping and, in Maryland, planting tobacco. Michael is the ancestor of many in the United States who spell their name Vandervoort, Vanderford, Vandiver, Vandevert, Vandaveer or similarly.
==Origins==
Michael was born about 1615 in Dendermonde, Flanders, in what is now Belgium. Ledley believes his ancestry traces back to Artus van der Voort, who lived near Turnhout, North Brabant. Various records suggest that Van der Voorts were well-to-do burghers in Amsterdam and Ghent. Ledley says both the name “Voort” comes from the small River Voort near Turnout and that “voort” literally means “ford”.〔Ledley〕 But a better translation of “voort” would seem to be “away” or “distant”〔Look Way Up Website, Dutch-English Dictionary〕 and would give the family name the meaning “from far away”. The author of this article can find no River Voort in Belgium or the Netherlands.
Michael may be related to Cornelis van der Voort (1576–1624), a Dutch portrait painter whose house Rembrandt later occupied.
