Donk is an old dialect word for forest.</p><p><br /></p><p>A Texan of Dutch descent. He made some beautiful paintings:</p><p><img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/24/Julian_Onderdonk_-_Early_Spring%E2%80%94Bluebonnets_and_Mesquite_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg/299px-Julian_Onderdonk_-_Early_Spring%E2%80%94Bluebonnets_and_Mesquite_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>While searching for Julian I also came across the Vander Ende-Onderdonk House.

Maybe Julian was related to those Onderdonks?</p><p><a href="http://www.onderdonkhouse.org/abouttheonderdonkhouse/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.onderdonkhouse.org/abouttheonderdonkhouse/" rel="nofollow">http://www.onderdonkhouse.org/abouttheonderdonkhouse/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
