Rebecca is Rebecca's legal renunciation document of 1819 [see source section

Richard Van Wickle. Although there is a high probability that Richard is their

1790 US Census for New Rochelle,
Westchester, NY, lists household of Frederick Van Winkle as 1 male over
16 (Frederick), 2 males under 16, and seven females [one of which is obviously
his wife, Rebecca].
1800 US Census for Greenburg, Westchester, NY lists household of Frederick Van Winkeler as 3 males under 10, 1 male over 45 [Frederick], 2 females under 10, 1 female 10 to 16, one female 16-26, 1 female 26-45, and 1 female over 45.
No record can be found for Frederick in the 1810 US Census. (Record located 26 Aug 2005 - 1810 US Census for Greensburgh, Westchester, NY lists Frederick Vanvikel in a household with one male < 10, 1 male 10 to 16, 1 male >45 (Frederick), 1 female 10 to 16 and 1 female >45 (Rebecca). This leaves room for the possibility that the male child age 10 to 16 could be Richard Van Wickel (b. 1798, NY)
http://www.rockleigh.org/History/Sites/VanWickel_Moore_House.htm) Van Wickel-Moore House c. 1810-1823. These lands, part of the 1685 Historic Lockhart Patent were bitterly claimed by NJ and NY until the 1769 Boundary Settlement. Here Richard Van Wickel and wife Phebe, dau. of Jacob Conklin, III. built (or renovated) this federal style farmhouse c. 1828 on 5 and 3/4 acres she inherited. Her cousin, Phebe Ann Moore, wife of John V.K. Moore bought the property in 1832. In 1848 she added 25 acres. Borough Hill now stands on part of the tract. House held by Moores to 1938. The c. 1810-1823 section of the dwelling is a steep 1 and 1/2 story clapboard frame structure on the east side of Rockleigh Rd. (No. 36) The interior floor plan shows evidence of a narrow side hall construction. There is a living room on the main floor with a loft above that has been finished into two small bedrooms and bath. The interior walls are plastered. The living room mantle, Parsons cupboard and some interior framing are of the Federal style. Some of the original floorboards have been covered with modern day flooring. A window marks the location of the original front entrance. The north side of the house has two small windows just below the roofline which is characteristic of a possibly earlier date. A small wing has been added to the south side of the house to include a present day small kitchen, additional bedroom and bath. The exterior walls of this later wing are clapboard. to the rear of the dwelling is a fine extent example of a "necessary building" currently used as a shed. In the 1960s Burl Ives, balladeer and folk music historian lived in a small outbuilding near the barn site before the property was subdivided in the early 1970s.

(Ruth Harvey, via 23 Aug 2005 email, provided me with a transcript of the Van Wickel burials in Cypress Hills Cemetery. The list contains 26 names of Van Wickels and relatives beginning with Richard Van Wickel (b. 1798) and his wife, Phoebe (b. 1805) and some of their children, grandchildren and other relatives. The list includes name, address at time of death, funeral home, grave #, age at death, cause of death, and date and place of death. Richard and Phoebe's son, John L. and his wife, Ellen C. are buried here. Children of John L. and Ellen C. Van Wickel that are buried here include: Emma S., John L., Henry, Violeta, Florence (and her son, George Kieb), Louis (and his wife Loretta). Children of Louis and Loretta Van Wickel that are buried here include Irene and Lillian. There is also a Walter, Elizabeth, and John L. buried here who are presumably grandchildren of John L. and Ellen C. Van Wickel--perhaps children of their son, John L. If and when Richard and Phoebe Van Wickel can be tied into a line of descent, there is an abundance of documented information available for their family pages.)
