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)

Notes:

in Isaac's will, he mentions that Rebecca can't take care of herself because of "fits" and
names James P Moore is to take care of her. (was this epilepsy??)

since her sister Mary died in 1833 and didn't mention her (at least directly) I wonder
if she had died. Or the estate was perhaps left to her guardian James P. Moore
on her behalf?

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)

I just made up a reasonable birth year. The name Mary Ann came from
my dad'suncle's research (1940's??). No sources were given - just the
names (which have so far been correct).

the one source on the Martindales says that John and Sarah had
a son Thomas and one other child.

I wonder if Mary Ann might really be a reference to the Mary Ann Hellings,
listed as a daughter of Margaret Hellings in the will of Rachel Hellings (her
mother). Possibly born out-of-wedlock.
