DescriptionHoes House Marker - circa 1760 - Ancestral Home of Maria Hoes, Mother of President Martin Van Buren.jpg
English: New York State / Federal History - Historical Marker for the 18th century ancestral home of 8th president of the USA, President Martin Van Buren's Mother, Maria Hoes. Located in the Village of Valatie, Kinderhook, New York 12184
Tradition state that Maria Hoes returned here--to Hoes House--to give birth to Martin Van Buren, as there was a fever raging in Kinderhook village at the time of his birth. It was not unusual for women to return to their maternal homes to give birth, even without the threat of contagious disease.
