Posted on: VanArsdale Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/FamilyAssoc/VanArsdale/10082 Surname: Van Artsdalen ------------------------- 1. CHRISTOPHER VAN ARTSDALEN He married RACHEL. Child of CHRISTOPHER VAN ARTSDALEN and RACHEL is: 2. i. JACOB VAN ARTSDALEN, b. Abt. February 1803, Bucks County, Pennsylvania; d. October 27, 1886, Cape May County, Dennisville NJ. 2. JACOB2 VAN ARTSDALEN (CHRISTOPHER1)1 was born Abt. February 1803 in Bucks County, Pennsylvania1, and died October 27, 1886 in Cape May County, Dennisville NJ1. He married ELIZABETH KIPLE GEARY1. She was born 1823 in Bucks County Pennsylvania1, and died April 11, 1892 in Collingdale, Pennsylvania1. Both are buried in Cedar Hill Cemetery in Philadelphia. Christoper and Rachel are my dead end. So I am trying a reverse approach. I am going to see if I can get any information on Vans in Bucks County in the 1700's and 1800's. If you have any Van Artsdalens who are from this time frame in Bucks County pennsylvania, please send me the info. Better yet, if you know who Christoper and Rachel are let me know, but I think that's a long shot.
