Lewis M. Plan(c)k-late 1800s-NJ
I am researching my 82 year old companion's family for him.His great-grandfather was Lewis M. Plan(c)k, born 7-8-1834/died 3-11-1901-buried Westwood Cemetery first married to Cleantha Cordelia Preston b.9-21-1835/d.8-9-1864.Their son, Howard E. Planck (b.2-7-1859/d.12-7-1922)-buried in Laurel Grove Cemetery married Christina Bogert West.Their son, Russell Everett Planck is the father of my companion, Dr. Russell Everett Planck, born Paterson, NJ on 7-11-1919.Any info on the above line and the name change is appreciated.Is it true that the family name was originally Ver Planck of Ver Planck's Landing on the Hudson River?
