Van Dyke Addams is a relative of the Addams family.
Biography[]
Van Dyke Addams was Gomez Addams' great-great-great-great-grandfather (though later he is given another 'great') who helped purchase Manhattan Island from the Indians in 1626. It can be assumed that he was of Dutch and/or English origin and was in the area during the establishment of New Amsterdam.
Gomez and Morticia found a statue of him on display in New York's Museum of Natural History. He was bequeathed New York's Central Park as an inheritance by Chief Powhattan.
Since Long John Addams was Gomez's great-great-great-great-great-grandfather in 1699 and the Manhattan Purchase was in 1626, it can be assumed that he was more likely to be Long John's grandfather or even great-grandfather, thus making him potentially Gomez's great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather.
It can be assumed that both Van Dyke and Goody Addams and Goody's Mother are contemporaries and that they may be directly related, perhaps even with Van Dyke being Goody's father as she bore the name of Addams. A possible reason for them living in Vermont as Mexican immigrants could be because they ran away from the settlers of New Netherland.
Description[]
He had a black hat with a gold buckle on it, a typical outfit of a pioneer. He had brown hair and a dower European face in the series, but looked similar to Gomez in the comics.
