    estate records mention "Negroes", man called Cafar/Caesar?, woman called Subiah?,
    and another slave man.

    Caesar is shown as belonging to Isaac in 1780 (age about 50).

    Membership at Neshaminy and Bensalem Low Dutch Reformed Church:
    23 Jun 1710, Abraham Van Duyn (??probably not my guy??)

    in a Bucks County Historical Society, called "A Lutheran Mission in Northampton
    Township in 1748" discusses theVan Horn family, the immigrants, and mentions
    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.

    • _UID: F2DC8AB66BC74D9BBDA6FF27ECFC893F61F8

    Notes:

    Nickname: Charity

    I'm assuming that Abraham Vanhorn listed his sons and daughters each in
    birth order, which would mean that Charity was married atan older age,
    and her next sister Martha was married at the usual 18 or so years of age.

    a will for a Charity Moode 1835/1837 in Newtown

    It seems latefor her to marry at age 41. Internet shows
    that Charity that married Joseph Moode was really a daughter of
    Gabriel Vanhorn which seems reasonable.

    another source says Charity married a Vansciver?

    Matha and her father Abraham are documented in the Van Sciver Genealogy
    by Charlotte Van Sciver Miloszar of Haddon Heights, NJ

    Marriage to Henry Mitchel recorded as "Martha Vanhorn to Henry Mitchel".
    Odd if she was a widow.

    (I removed the marriage of 25 Apr 1769 to Henry Mitchell by license in PA.
    It didn't make sense since Martha was still a Van Sciver in his will in 1770)

    Martha married William VAN SCIVER 13 Nov 1755, NJ (License). William (son of Jan Wouterse VAN SCHUYVEN and Marie HOESEN) was born 1733; died 27 Feb 1774, NJ; was buried 1 Mar 1774, NJ. [Group Sheet]

    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)

    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?

    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 (!).

    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.

    • _UID: 3F5E0FFEF0E840BDACC0218C609FC941A1D9

    Notes:

    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.
