PENNEL and WILSON families Abraham and Mary (Knapp) VAN SCOY were born in Westchester County, New York, in the late 1700s. In the 1830s they moved to Huron County, Ohio. They were preceded to Huron County, Ohio, by her father Brundage KNAPP and later joined by his first cousins, Cornelius and James Van Scoy. Abraham and Mary's son George Washington Van Scoy was born in 1822. He married Judith Ann STRIMPLE in 1850 in Richland County, Ohio. They lived in Butler Township, Richland County, Ohio. Abraham and Mary's daughter Alice Irena Van Scoy was born about 1825. She married (1) Matthew FANCHER and (2) John PENNEL in 1855. John and Alice Pennel, their daughter and son-in-law Florence and John WILSON, and grandson Albert Wilson were living in Butler Township, Richland County, Ohio, in 1880. In 1907 descendants of the Van Scoy and Knapp families formed the VanScoy-Knapp Reunion. We met annually until the mid 1960s. This summer we are meeting again in celebration of the bicentennial of Ohio statehood. If you are a descendant of any of these families, please join us in Willard, Ohio, on Saturday, August 16, 2003, for our reunion, or send a note which we can share with those who attend.
