The Van Zupthen names signifies that the family was from  Zutphen, a town in the Netherlands.  The town is situated on the right bank of the IJsel (IJssel) River in the Province of Gelderland. Gelderland borders Germany on the East. Arnhem is the capital city.

The Sutphin families were in Kings County, New York ; Freehold, Monmouth County, New Jersey and Loudoun County Virginia before my ancestor Hendrick came to Southwestern Virginia where he married Rachel Owen in 1788.   Lysbett's family, the Van Rheenens were from Rhenen, Utrecht, Netherlands.
