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.

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?

the connection between the Van Horns at the Vanhorn/Feaster cemetery and
early Lutherans. It seems that maybe Abraham was associated with this
and is buried here?? The article mentions an Abraham buried here early on,
but doesn't mention it when the others are listed.

T"he VanSkiver/Vanscivers came to New Amsterdam in 1600s. Original spelling VanSchuyven/er. There is a VanSciver genealogy that will probably help you: VanSciver Genealogy: Early Historical and Family Events by Charlotte VanSciver Miloszar. In that book there is a reference to an Abraham VanHorn who married for his second wife: Marie Hoesen, widow of Jan Wouterse Van Schuyven in 1755/ Abraham was son of Barent Christiansen Van Horn and Geertje Dircks, born 1695 at Minakaque. Abraham lived in Bucks county. According to the VS genealogy there were no known issue of this second marriage of Abraham." (this was a note from Diane VanSkiver Gagel).

Unfortunately, the Zabriskie article doesn't say where Williams got his information.
He did say "In 1911 C. S. Williams prepared a manuscript entitled 'Christian Barentsen
Van Hornand his Descendants' ..... he did a creditable, though far from perfect job,
but the same cannot be said of Marvin. He so badly jumbled his materials from
Williams and elsewere that the resulting book qualifies as one, if not the poorest
family history ever written about the New Netherlands families. "

"Williams says the marriage to Mary Dungan was July 6, 1718.
He lists second wife Maria Hoesen, widow of Jan Wouterse Van
Schyven, who died 1777 in Bucks Co. All children by Mary, they were
Barent, Mary, Jeremiah, Geertje, Abram, Martha, Jacob, David, and
Isaac."

From Van Sciver Genealogy by Charlotte Van Sciver Miloszar (pg 41):
"...Martha is the daughter of Abraham Van Horn and Mary Dungan; Abraham
Van Horn's second Marriage, NJ Lic and Bond date Aug 11, 1755 Maria Hosen,
Widow of Jan Wouterse Van Schuyven. No known issue of this marriage. Her
son William married Martha Van Horn the same year. Abraham Van Horn is the
son of BarentChristiansen Van Horn (Christian Barents) by his wife Geertje
[Di]rks, was born Sept. 12, 1695 at Minkaque. Abraham Van Horn lived in
Bucks County Pa..."

From History of Bucks County, pg 94:
... Abraham Van Horn, born in Bergen, New Jersey, died in Northampton,
Bucks county, in 1773, onfarm of 290 acres received by deed from his father in
1722. He married firstMary Dungan and second Mary Vansciver, and had six
sons, Barnard, Isaac, Abraham, David, Jacob, and Jeremiah, and three
daughters, Mary wife of Derrick Krewson, Charity, and Martha, who married
a Van Sciver.

From Ellwood Roberts' Biographical Annals, 1904: Montgomery Co, PA
http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/pa/montgomery/roberts/roberts108.html
Abraham Van Horn was the first of this family to settle in Northampton township,
Bucks county, locating there about the year 1720. He married Martha Dungan...

Abraham married Mary DUNGAN Abt 1724, Northampton Twp, Bucks Co, PA. Mary (daughter of Jeremiah DUNGAN and Deborah DRAKE) was born Abt 1706, Falls Twp, Bucks Co, PA; died Bef 1755, Bucks Co, PA. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

I did have the marriage date of 6 Jul 1718, from Marvin book. Dropped (source?)

Mary being the daugther of Jeremiah is based on the Clarke/Dungan book. I'm
not real happy with that because it seems to based on the idea that these were
left over children named Dungan, and they didn't know who belonged to Jeremiah,
so by process of elimination, they ended up here. I don't even know the original
source that says she *was* a Dungan! So for now, I'm leaving it in.

Note in Clement Dungan's will of 1732, he mentions brother Jeremiah sole
executor and has someone pay Jeremiah Dungan's youngest (living?)
daughter Mary. That seems to create problems for Mary marrying Abraham
Vanhorn in 1718 and being younger than Martha who was born in 1704!! One
would think that this is a reference to a young and single Mary.

Some issues:
why did Mary not have children from being married in 1718 until about 1725. Also,
she'd have to be of child bearing age in 1745.

Answer - until I see a source, I'm discounting the marriage of 6 Jul 1718. There
are plenty of mistakes in Marvin's book(!). I do think there must be a source (?)
that says Mary is a Dungan. It'sinteresting that Abraham had a son Jeremiah, and
I have seen some use of family names within this community at this time. Jeremiah
Dungan did live in the area, and he did have a daughter Mary who could be the
right age.

Note - LDS has marriage circa 1731 (another LDS source has the 1718 date)

History of Bucks County, pg 1149
John Betts, PO Horsham, Pa. This gentleman's ancestors on both
sides were of English origin, coming here about hte time of Penn. For
several generations they were residents of Solebury and Buckingham townships,
where Thomas Betts, the great-grandfather of our subject, lived. He died in
Newtown in 1747. His son THomas was grandfather of John. He was married
to Sarah, daughter of William and Rebecca Smith, who was a descendent
of William Smith, formerly of Yorkshire, England, who came to this country
in 1690.

Thomas Betts died in Buckingham in 1783, and his wife Sarah ided in the same
place, in 1804. They had eleven children, all now deceased, one of whom,
Stephen, was father of our subject.

1696 - Bergen Co NJ, Quit Rent Twp, Charistianse Van Horn

More info is in "A Lutheran Mission in Northampton Township in 1748" from an
article in 1926.I think this was presented in an early proceedings of the
Bucks County Historical Society. pgs 45-47.

From History of Bucks County, pg 93:
Barent Christian Van Horn, eldest son of Christian Barents and Jannetje Jans,
as before stated was probably born in Holland, a theory which is born out by
the early date at which he acquired title to land. On March 26, 1667, Governor
Philip Carteret granted to Barent Christian, of Menkauque, planter, fifty acres of land
at Pembrepach and eighty-five acres on the bay called Kill Van Kull, both in Bergen
county. On September 29, 1697, he obtained a grant from the propreitors of East
Jersey, 160 acres on "Hackingsack River," joining that of his half brother Thomas
Lawrenson (Van Boskerk).

On May 15, 1703, Barnard Christian and his half-brother, Peter Lawrence, purchased
1,000 acres of Robert Heaton, on Neshaminy creek, in Bucks county, which
on September 18, 1707, the partitioned between them.

Two days later, September 20, 1707, Barnard Christian conveyedhis portion to his
two sons, Peter and Christian Barnson, Peter receiving 257acres and Christian 294
acres.

On September 29, 1707, Barnard Christian purchased 550 acres in Bucks county, of
Thomas Groom, 274 acres of which he conveyed to his son Barnard Barnson, June
17, 1714. He also acquired other land in Bucks county, and on June 2, 1722, conveyed
to his son, Isaac Van Horn, 276 acres, and on May 6, 1722, 290 acres to his
son Abraham Van Horn.

He thus owned in all 1381 acres of land in Bucks county, though he continued to
live inBergen county, New Jersey, and died there in 1726. He married,
in 1679, at the Bergen Dutch Reformed church, Geertje Dircks, daughter
of Dirck Classen, who was baptized in New York, March 5, 1662. The children
of Barent Christian Van Horn and Geertje Dirckse were: etc...

found death year on internet

the problem here is that Jeremiah seems to be having a daughter Susanna
around 1700. But then, if Deborah were the Drake born in 1686, she'd be
only 14 years old - I don't buy that. Show me another family in this area
at this time with the woman being married and having a childat 14!

even Martha born in 1704 (the date suggests a baptism??). If that were the
first child, Deborah would be 18 (and Jeremiah circa 30). That's at least possible.
In that case, I'd guess that Jeremiah was actually born later, maybe after John.
(and I'd drop Susan as a daughter and list George as born later).
