Martha Maria Vrendenburgh

My great-great grandmother Martha Maria Vrendenburgh was born in 1820 in Essex, Vermont and died in 1860 (?). She married John Weeks 15 December 1836 in Essex County, Vermont. She gave birth to six children: Hellen 1838, Henry 1841, Warren 1843, Wilfred 1848, Charles, 1852 and Cora. This information has been passed on by mouth for generations so I cannot testify to the authenticityof any of it.

However, I also have the following information: Martha's first child Hellen died at age two in 1840 and is buried in The Village Cemetery, Essex Junction, Vermont plot #84. Her grandfather John Weeks Sr. is buried in plot #86 (He died 1810). Buried next to Hellen is a grave marked "Abigail, wife of Wm. van Vrendinburgh". Considering the proximity of these graves, I am guessing that Abigail and William are Martha Maria's mother and father.

Can anyone verify this or give me any further information about Martha Maria or her parents or any of her family. I am told that most, if not all, of the Vrendenburgs in the USA are related. Can anyone help me?
