The records trace various family lines that originated from the 16th century de Wees family of Holland, particularly Jan Cornelis De Wees (born circa 1535), Abraham Jans de Wees (1597-circa 1650), Adriaen Hendricks de Wees (1595-1674), and 1662 New Amsterdam immigrant Gerrit Hendricks de Wees (1640-1700). De Wees/Deweese families settled and proliferated in various Pennsylvania counties, including Philadelphia, Montgomery, Chester, and Berks. The records are organized by line and contain copies of census data; will and other probate records; Bible records and family correspondence; birth, death, marriage, and military records; tax and other legal records; and some photographs. There are also books on the family, a volume on the Holland ancestors of the De Wees family, and an eight-volume compilation of family group sheets, all authored by Dr. Vaughn.
