  • 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 (!).

      1820 census, Wrightstown Twp, pg 305, 100010-00010 (by Thos Martindale)
      1830 census, Northampton Twp, pg 041, 1010 0111-0200 11
      1840 census,Northampton Twp, pg 216, ?0010 0001-0000 0001 (John L. VanHorn)

      1850 census, pg 283, Fermanagh Twp, Juniata Co, (w/son Thomas), age 60

      1860 census, (near end), Walker Twp, Juniata Co, (w/son Thomas), age 64, -/$1000, John Vanhorn,gentleman

      But who is John Vanhorn, 64, living with brother Charles Vanhorn in Hancock Co,
      OH in 1860? counted twice? why be a gentleman in PA and farm laborer in OH
      at same time?)
      OH census 9 Jun 1860 (age 64)
      PA census 16 Jun 1860 (age 64)
      so where was the "other" John in 1850 census? (note, age should be66)

      1870 census

      1880 census

      *********************************************************************************
      Is this another daughter?
      (since these were the only Vanhorn's in the area, you'd think Mary Frances would
      have tobe a daughter of John (?)) Nah, 1870 census says born in NJ!
