Van Horn, Doris Dau F W 3yrs2mos Ohio Ohio Canada

The 1920 census gives her age her as 3 years and 2 months, which would mean
she was born in November 1916, or maybe October.  However, her death
certificate says she was born in August 1916.

In 1930, the Van Horns are living in the household of Mabel's widowed mother,
Nellie Trembley.  The census describes her occupatoin as "Housekeeper Rooming
House."  But it looks like she owns the rooming house.  It says she is
renting, and not for very high, but she is the only one in the house paying
rent.  And everybody else is called a Lodger, including the members of her
daughter's family!

Spouse Mother's Name: Nellie

In 1910 Wilbert and Mabel are living as a second family in the same household
with a Norwegian family named Johnson.  In this census, father and son are
named Wilbur rather than Wilburt or Wilbert.  The son's middle initial is R
while the father's is H.  In all other records the middle initial and name are
the same, the H standing for Howard.

Signed Wilburt [sic] H Van Horn

Note the difference in the spelling of the name and the spelling in the
signature.  The signature would make us think the "correct" form of the name
is Wilburt.  The name appears in records spelled both ways.  But as spelling
got more standardized and became more of a focus, it appears that the name was
considered to be Wilbert.  The death information in state records and Social
Security records indicates the preferred spelling was Wilbert.  See below. 
This is confirmed by the 1930 and 1940 censuses.  The 1920 census spells the
name Wilburt.  Note also that the enumerator spells the son's name as Wilbur.

In 1930 Wilbert is designated a Lodger in his mother-in-law's hosuehold, along
with his wife and their chidlren.  Mabel's mother Nellie has been a widow
since 1920 or 1921, and seems to be running a boarding house, though the
census reports she is renting the home.  EVenryone but here son Wyatt is
designated as a Lodger.

Benjamin married, second: Mary S Van Lew (15 May 1795) in 1838.  She was the
daughter of John and Margaret Cox Van Lew.  A prenuptial agreement between the
two appears in Deed Book Y, p. 357.  A later trust deed for infant daughter,
Mary E J Gregory, executed 28 June 1839, indicates that baby Mary was three
months old.  Within this document, Benjamin lists Joseph H Crawford as the
baby’s grandfather.  A mulatto girl, Julia, is to be held in trust for Mary
E J.  Mary S. Van Lew Gregory died in 1861 at about 66 years of age.
--  Gregory Family Genealogy, http://gregoryfamilygenealogy.org/?page_id=387

Benjamin Gregory died in 1847.  In the 1850 census Mary Van Lew in what
appears to be her sister's household.  Genealogies report a sister named
Eleanor, born in 1804.  Two children in the household have a surname that
appears to be either Vandlieu or Van Llieu.  Sophia is named in Mary's will as
Sophia Van Lew, Elizabeth as Elizabeth Henderson Van Lew.  Mary S Gregory is
the mother of Mary Gregory who is in Isaac's household.

Notes for Jacob VAN TASSELL


There are many reported but undocumented and confusing facts reported about
Jacob Van Tassell.

In 1860 Jacob is reported as born in New York.  In the 1880 census his son
Julius reports that his father was born in Germany.

1860 Federal Census, Monroe County, Michigan, 23 August, Whiteford, PO Ottawa
Lake, page 154, Hse #565, Fam #536
Jacob Van Tassell 76 M $4900 b N Y [b abt 1784]
Rebeca Van Tassell Widow  69 F b N Y [b abt 1791]
Josephine Van Tassell 5 F b Michigan [b abt 1855]

Several family genealogies indicate Jacob was born in Albany County, New York.

Born 1784 in Cobbleskill, Albany, New York, USA

It appears they are following a data collection of facts on Jacob.  The cited
genealogy here, and others, report the birthplace as Cobbleskill in Albany
County.  However, the village of Cobbleskill is In Schoharie County, not
Albany County.  A couple of other genealogies report birth in Albany,
Cobbleskill, New York, but there is no Cobbleskill County in New York. 
(Perhaps there used to be?)  So was the birth in Albany, Albany County, NY or
in Cobbleskill, Schoharie County, NY?

Family Data Collection - Individual Records
Jacob Van Tassel
Spouse: Rebecca Wright
Parents: Cornelius Van Tassel, Elsey Alsey Elsa Brower
Birth Albany, Cobbleskill, NY 9 Feb 1784
Marriage Date: 17 Mar 1806
Death Fort Plain [Montgomery County, New York? Fort Plains, MI?] 15 Jun 1868

Note that the data collection reports he died in Fort Plain.  The only Fort
Plain I can find is in Montgomery County, New York.  Several family
genealogies report death in Michigan, where he lived.  One reports the place
of death was Ft Plain, Montcalm, Michigan, but I cannot find a Ft Plain in
Montcalm County.  There is a Fair Plain. I did find in one version of the Data
Collection the name Fort Plains, Michigan, with no county stated.  But I
cannot find any other reference current or historical, for a Fort Plains,
Michigan, either.

There may be a confusion of two men named Jacob Van Tassell.  I found an entry
in the 1800 census for Cobbleskill, Schoharie, New York for a head of
household Jacob Van Tassell.  In 1800 our Jacob was 16 years old, and was not
married until 1806.  This Jacob was in the age range 26-45, as was his wife. 
There were no children in this Van Tassell household.

The following genealogy has interpreted the place of birth as the city of
Albany, and correctly placed that in the County of Albany, but provides no
further documentation as to this place of birth.  It follows the confusing
Data Collection to report the place of death as Fort Plain, Michigan in
Montcalm.  Perhaps this was never an official location, since I can find on
references in any source to such a name.

Notes for Josephine VAN TASSELL


In 1860, Josephine is 5 years old and living in the home of her grandparents,
Jacob and Josephone Van Tassell.  Here both Jacob and Rebecca are reported as
born in NY, but in the 1870 census his son Julius' record reports Julius' 
father as born in Germany.

In 1870 Josephine's father was enumerated as Julius, and in 1880 as Julian.

In the 1880 census enumeration, Harvey Williams' mother is reported as born in
Canada, but Josephinie (Van Tassell Williams) Cumming is reported born in NY,
as she was in 1860.  Josephine is also reported as married but no husband is
in the household.  It appears she had been married and either widowed or
divorced ater the birth of Harvey Williams and then remarried someone named
Cumming.
