    Note: I had the name of the cemetery as Otterbein UMC Church before, now I have
    East Salem Presbyterian

    Note:

    The information for Sarah Ann Vanhorn's lineage wascompiled by my
    Dad's Uncle Bill (I think). I haven't found any problems withwhat he
    had (going back to the name Isaac Van Horn). He had lots of birth
    dates for the John VanHorn generation and on. It appears by the fact
    that he had so many dates that perhaps he had found a family Bible? I
    don't know his sources, but the census records seem to show his
    conclusions reasonable.

    I had dates of 30 Jun 1816-3 Oct 1872
    Internet (cemetery) has 21 Jun 1816-4 Oct 1872 (76-3-13)

    Note, the first two children, John and Sarah appear to be named after Thomas's parents.

    Were Nathan and Emma named after Margaret's? No...(they were her siblings)

    Thomas married Margaret HELLINGS Abt 1839, Bucks Co, PA. Margaret (daughter of Tunis HELLINGS and Rachel BRELSFORD) was born 22 Sep 1808, Middletown Twp, Bucks Co, PA; died 6 Dec 1866, East Salem, Delaware Twp, Juniata Co, PA; was buried East Salem Presbyterian Church, East Salem, Delaware Twp, Juniata Co, PA.

    Notes:

    dates from tombstone according to internet records:
    - Dec 1866 38/58-2-14

    the will of Rachel Hellings, widow of Teunis mentions:
    "To my Daughter Margaret who married Thomas Vanhorn to have one tenth
    part of the real and Personal Estate only the life Right and at her Death
    to be given to her Daughter Mary Ann Hellings".

    (was Mary Ann the right name? or was this a daughter before being married to Thomas?)
    (or a daughter who died young?)
    (or Ann Ettinger who showed up in 1850?)

    Other records confirm Rachel Helling's mention of the out-of-wedlock
    children of her kids. Don't know who was the father of Mary Ann, but the
    "spouse" I have listed as DontKnow was not really married to Margaret in 1838.

    in OC #6937 of 16 Feb 1853, estate of Rachel Hellings, heir Margaret
    Vanhorn of Walker Twp, Juniatta Co petitions for settlement of estate.

    Children:

    Notes:

    John is listed as a son of Isaac in Marvin's book and also Robert's
    Annals ofMontgomery County. I haven't seen anything to contradict
    that other than possibly the fact that John seems to show up both
    in Juniata County, PA and Ohio in 1860 (!).

    But who is John Vanhorn, 64, living with brother Charles Vanhorn in Hancock Co,

    at same time?)
    OH census 9 Jun 1860 (age 64)

    the above is per the abstract of the Orphan's court. Actually, Rachel that married

    Pvt in Revolution
    Oath of Allegiance 12 Oct 1778 in Bucks County (this Isaac?)

    While the Quakers shunned military service, it would seem that Isaac Vanhorn
    was not associated with this church until he married Mary Betts (a youngQuaker
    girl). He is supposedly buried there with Mary.

    Note: a note on rootsweb says Isaac was disowned in 1792. True?

    Note: at Middletown MM, 5/1/1792, testimony against Sarah Vanhorn, late Twining.

    Isaac is mentioned in the writeup of his son Abraham in the History of Bucks County.
    Since it seems the author was talking with Isaac Van Horn, born 1813 about
    his grandparents and greatgrandparents, the relationship of Abraham, son of
    Isaac, son of Abraham seems pretty certain.

    The children are as listed in the will. Were Mary and Rebecca from Isaac's first wife?
    (the article above says Mary Betts had 8 children with Isaac). Answer: Yes, see wills
    of Jeremiah and Elisabeth Vastine that mention Isaac's first wife and children by name.
    It seems that most researchers have ignored Isaac's second wife, Rebecca Matthew?.
    Actually, Rebecca would be the second wife (or girlfriend or whatever).

    From History of Bucks County, pg 1029:
    Isaac Van Horn, retired, P.O. Richboro, was born in Northampton township, Bucks
    county, May 2, 1813, his parents being Abraham and Susan (Ruckman) Van Horn.
    His maternal ancestors were Welsh and Scotch-Irish, and his paternal ancestors
    were Low Dutch and English. Abraham Van Horn, great-grandfather of Isaac,
    came to Northampton township in 1720, and located in the lower end of it,
    the place now being owned by Mrs. Paul. He was a farmer, and is buried at the
    Van Horn and Feaster burying-ground. Isaac Van Horn, his son, wasborn in
    Northampton township, and died in 1831. His second wife was Mrs. Mary Betts,
    by whom he had eight children. She died about seventeen years beforehim, and
    the are buried in the Friends' burying-ground at Wrightstown, both being members
    of the Society of Friends. etc.

    and on pg 1019:
    James R. Van Horn, retired, P.O. Newtown, was born in Northampton township,
    this county, March 21, 1818, and is a son of Abram and Susan (Ruckman)
    Van Horn. His paternal grandfather was Isaac Van Horn, a native of Northampton
    township, a farmer by occupation, and a son of Abram Van Horn, who settled in
    Northampton townshipabout 1720.

    on familysearch.org web site as AFN: C6HJ-QB

    Some people have another son Isaac Jr born about 1787. But he's not mentioned in
    any reliable source that I can see. Maybe he died young? source?

    Marvin's book, Van Horn Family History (long shown to be full of errors) has list of
    children including Isaac, born 5 Jan 1787, married Margary Ann Smith d/o
    General Samuel Smith, Apr 14, 1825 by Rev PO Stidiford. (page 336) (1929)

    MaM

    Isaac married Mary BETTS 5 Apr 1786, Presbyterian Church, Newtown, Bucks Co, PA. Mary (daughter of Thomas BETTS and Sarah SMITH) was born 2 Oct 1760, Buckingham Twp, Bucks Co, PA; died 15 Dec 1810, Northampton Twp, Bucks Co, PA; was buried Friend's Meetinghouse, Wrightstown, Bucks Co, PA.

    From Beers History of Washington County, pg 35:

    THOMAS MARTINDELL. Among the wealthy, enterprising and generally respected
    citizens of East Bethlehem township,none are more favorably known than this
    prominent agriculturist. He is a native of the county, born October 28, 1824, in West
    Pike Run township, where he was reared on his father's farm, and educated at
    the subscription schools of the vicinity, and a select school in Centreville, taught by
    John Reid.

    ThomasMartindell, his grandfather, was of English descent, and one of the early
    settlers of Bucks county, Penn., where he passed almost his entire life, dying at
    the advanced age of ninety-five years. His wife was Mary Booth, who was
    descended from an old and well-known family of Bucks county. Thomas and
    Mary Martindell were the parents of the following children, all now deceased:
    Sarah (who married John Van Horn), Rebecca, Mary and William.

    William Martindell was born September 6, 1793, in Bucks county, Penn., where he
    was reared to farming pursuits. When a young man he removed to and settled in
    West Pike Run township,this county, where he learned shoemaking, although he
    never worked much at the trade, his time and attention being too much taken up on the farm. He marriedElizabeth, daughter of John Fleming, in his lifetime a prominent
    farmer of Washington county, and the young couple then took up their home on a
    farm in West Pike Run township, where they passed the remainder of their lives.
    Their children were Mary Ann (Mrs. McMillan), Catherine (Mrs. Baker) and Thomas.
    The mother of this family was called from earth April 7, 1833, the father
    April 6, 1852; he was a Quaker in religious faith, in politics a member of the
    Whig party.

    Notes:

    I have Mary listed as a daughter of William Booth and Rebecca by pure
    speculation for now (organize my notes for now). The basis is:

    1) here were no Booth's in Bucks County at this time,

    2) William and Rebecca had a daugther Mary Booth in 1771, perfect for this marriage
    c1790,

    3) Thomas and Mary had among their first kids a William and a Rebecca,

    4) most of the Booth's at thattime were living in Delaware County,

    5) the Booth's were Quakers, like the Martindales. (maybe William Booth died and
    his widow moved to Bucks??)

    Add, 1/1/2001:
    6) Mary's brother Benjamin, came to Wrightstown Monthly Meeting before going
    west (after their father's death). Benjamin went Booth went to thesame general
    area as William Martindale (son of Thomas Martindale and Mary Booth).

    notes:
    To answer your question about why I thought there was a Mary Horton. According to
    Vol 4 of Hinshaws Quaker Encyclopedia, there was a Mary Horton (form Booth) who
    was churched from Westland Quaker Monthly Meeting in East Bethlehem Pa.

    Since there are two Mary's in that era, one is probably married to Thomas Martindell, and
    the other widow Horton.
