Henry/Hendrick VAN WORMER was living in Randolph TWP, Crawford Co. PA in the 1830 Census. There was also a John VAN WORMER in the same Census - probably a son of Henry. Both of these men were living in Monroe Co. NY sometime prior to their arrival in Crawford Co. Henry VAN WORMER Jr. was convicted of larceny in 1834 in Crawford Co. and sentenced to 2 years in the Federal Penitentary in Pittsburgh. Henry VAN WORMER Sr. was in Williams Co. OH for the 1840 Census. There were several land transactions by Henry and his wife, Mary while still in Crawford Co. PA. Mary does not appear in the 1840 Census although her name was still on some land transactions after that time. I suspect she actually died while the family was still in Crawford Co. PA although I have been unable to locate any kind of death or burial record of any kind for her. I have no idea what her maiden name might have been. Names of sons either known definitely or strongly suspected were John, Henry Jr., Joab, and Mark Luce VW. Possibly there was an Andrew also. Daughters were Julie Ann MANSFIELD, Welthy CHURCHMAN, Margaret LUCE, and Mary PHILIPS. Does anyone have more information about this family and its rather short stay in Crawford Co. PA? I have information to share on the VAN WORMER surname from any time and place but am specifically interested in this particular time period in Crawford Co. The sons, at least, of this family were consistently in trouble with the law and courts so left some very definite footprints. However, the one sentence for larceny is all I've managed to uncover in this area. Thank you for any help or suggestions. Iris Grimmett 41178 Port Drive Sweet Home, Oregon 97386 irisg@proaxis.com
