Also...research notes of Harry Macy, Jr. as forwarded in 6 July 2000 email by Michael Wolfe. 11 August 2004 email from Marie Velardi--a descendent of the Foster line. 19 April 2012 email from Diane Matthews indicates the following: John Foster Van Wicklin, his wife Sarah [Chichester] Van Wickler, and mother Hannah [Kelley] Van Wickler are also buried in the cemetery at this church. The church is located in Lawrence near the border of Inwood. From an 1873 map of Westville [now Inwood] I find Mrs Van Wickler [John Foster and Sarah] on Bayview Avenue, William Van Wickler nearby on Hicks Avenue. From his newspaper death notice Foster Van Wickler [son of Cornelius] last resided on Solomon Ave in Inwood. John Foster's son, John W. lived on Jeanette Place. I think the sons of Evert all settled in the Inwood area.
