George Vandeusen (Van Driesen), New York, Michigan

Surnames: Vandeusen, Van Driesen, Van Dresen, Van Dreusen, Waggoner, Brennan
Looking for information on the following family:

George Van Driesen (born New York about 1815). Married Nancy Waggoner (born New York about 1819).

Children: Cynthia born New York June 1840
Mary born New York about 1843
Nelson born New York March 1846

The family moved to Adrian, Michigan before 1859. Cynthia married Thomas Brennan March 1859 in Adrian. I have most of the family on the Adrian Census 1860, 1870, and 1880. I have Cynthia in Adrian in 1910 and Nelson married to Mary E. (his second marriage) in 1900 and 1910. I have no record of George and Nancy after 1880. Cynthia was a matron for many years at the Michigan State Industrial School for Girls in Adrian. She died in Adrian in 1919.

Variations on the name include: Van Dreisan, Van Druesen, Van Duesen, Vandresen.

There may be a family connection to Troy, Albany and Syracruse New York.

Would love to correspond with anyone related to this family. I have information on the descendents of Cynthia Van Driesen and Thomas Brennan, who were my 2x great-grandparents.
