Hi Laurie, Thank you very much for your message about Hannah Jane Culver. The reason I had 1828 as her birth date comes from the 1870 Census of Wantage Twp giving her age as 42. As far as I know all eight children were born in Wantage Twp Sussex Co NJ. Daniel was born and died there. I do not know in which cemetery he is buried. The eight children are: Laura J. b 18 Apr 1851, Edward b ca 1852, Edwin F. b 27 March 1857, Clarence T. b 20 Jan 1860, Clara b 1860 (twin?), Ida A. b 23 Aug 1862, Lenora, b 23 Aug 1862 and Estell b 26 Jan (no year). The only information I have on the children is that Clarence T. m Mary De Will and had a child Clarence D. (probably De Will) Van Sickle. In 1937 Clarence D. lived in Belleville, NJ. In 1937 Clarence T. lived in Newton, New Jersey. Any addition information would be appreciated. You wrote: >I am working on a one-name study (although I include allied lines) of the Van Sickle families, of whatever spelling used for this surname. I note a post you made to the NYFingerLakes list at Rootsweb in early April. Although the date of birth you show for your Hannah Jane differes somewhat, I believe the following is a match for you: [Daniel B^8>>William 7>>John 6>>Garret 5>>Andrew 4>> Cornelius^3>>Reinier 2>>Ferdinandus 1] Daniel B^8 VAN SICKLE, b 5 Aug 1829 ---#125, VnS1880p115: ---living 1880, near Deckertown, Sussex Co, NJ m. 9 Apr 1850, Orange Co, NY Jane CULVER, b 12 Mar 1824 ---d/o Apollos CULVER ---children: 1.

"A History of the Van Sickle Family, in the United States of America" privately published, Springfield, OH, 1880. ================================ This does give a father's name for your Hannah Jane so hope it will be helpful in your quest to find her family. I note that you said they had eight children and wonder if you would share with me? Obviously, I have nothing more on this family than the lisiting given in the one source. Do you know where they lived, when & where they died, etc. Marriages for the younger children of Daniel & Hannah/Jane? Hoping we can help each other! Laurie mailto:light30@earthlink.net ps I've added your name & e-mail address to my database under the notes for Daniel & Hannah's family. That way, should more information come to me later on this family, I'll be able to send it out to you then! <
