I don't know of any folk songs but I am related to Katrina Van Tassel from the legend of sleepy hollow. Her father Jan n Texel was the first Van TAssel in America and actually was indentured, as I understand it. He ended up having two wives, his firs a Dutch lafy from the community and his second an Indian lady from the Manhattan indians. From his offspring the family spread across the world. The town Van Tassel Wyoming was named for a family member. Van Tassels have fought in every war since the late 1600's, served in government and law enforcement, medicine and research. There have been some notable VT's and some others also. There ae athletes and men of science. There is a lady in Hollywood whose name I see on movies sometimes named Van Tassel.

The recent movie about the legend of sleepy hollow, as my Uncle says, didn't do the family justice.

there you have it
