- Summary
- The common ancestor of the American Van Zandt family was Jacobus Van Zandt. His son, Wynant, served as a commissioned agent of Charles I of England to Amsterdam. He immigrated to New York in the late seventeenth century. One of his descendants was Wynant Van Zandt, Jr., born circa 1765, a New York City merchant and Alderman. Prior to his death in 1831, Wynant Van Zandt, Jr. founded the Zion Episcopal Church in Little Neck (now Douglaston, Queens).
- The papers consist of 4 folders of correspondence and business documents, such as receipts and promissory notes, predominantly addressed to Wynant Van Zandt, Jr. Correspondence relates both to business and family matters.
