Robert Quackenbush: Hello, my name is Robert Quackenbush. No, I am not a duck. It is a very old Dutch name when last names were first given to people back in the 1600s and earlier 1400s. It was a duck farmer obviously, and he was always seen chasing his ducks from underneath bushes. So, that's where Quackenbush came from, quacking ducks. The first Quackenbush to arrive in America was 1653 and that's who I descend from. He came over from Holland. Thank you, bye.
