He was of Holland descent, born in 1742, in Readington, N.J. He moving from New Jersey to Montgomery County, PA, and from there to Virginia, where he married Margaret Miller about 1782. They moved to Brady Twp., Huntingdon Co., PA. He died there in 1820. I would like to learn more about Vandevender's Bridge and it's exact location at that time.
