Per: Charles Parson's book "The Van Hoose Family"

For reasons unknown dropped the "r" from his name. The following excerpt from a biographical sketch on Azor VanHoose (b.-1818-d-?) should be of interest.

  Several generations ago, three brothers bearing the name VanHooser, came over from Holland and settled in western New York.  A misunderstanding between them induced one of their number to determine, that he would forever distinguish himself and his family from the others and their descendents, by dropping the final "r" from their common patronymic. Thus the single name was parted into two; and it has been further divided by the use of the capital in writing the "H".

Per: Joyce Lindstrom's Book

In 1763 he was executor of his father's will. On Jan 19,1765 he granted some of his father's land to John Hagler, who married his youngest sister, Elizabeth.  On Sept 21,1769, he granted more of his father's land to William Collson or Collins who may have been related to his younger sister Mary through marriage. This branch of the Van Hooser family dropped the final "r" from their surname and created the new surname "Van Hoose"
