"Mindert, son of Robert and Patty Van Horne, of Newark, New Jersey, went to Shelburne, N.S., at the age of 23, as a Loyalist settler. He moved from Shelburne to Liverpool in 1784. On December 31, 1788, he married Susannah, daughter of Robert and Jane (West) Harlow."

The series of volumes of The Diary of Simeon Perkins include numerous references to Mindert Vanhorn who worked as a carpenter on Perkins' home, ship and store. In the diaries he is alternatively called "Minard," "Mindart," and "Mindert". From these passages we know that Mindert was given a deed to some town lots in 1790, served on a jury in 1793, travelled to Lunenburg in 1799, and even that, on Dec. 22, 1789, he "Cut his Knee about 2 O'clock, So he could not work."
