Background information: Willie^9 "Rip" Van Vickle (John^8,
Jackson^7, Evert^6
Van Vickle, Evert^5 Van Wicklen, Frederick^4, Evert^3, Gerrit^2, Jentie^1 Jeppes), b.
18 May 1893, TX and d. 26 May 1977, Bakersfield, Kern, CA. In 1920 he was a laborer in
Oil Fields in Hewett, OK. He resided last 36 years of his life in Arvin, Kern,
CA. (See obit. in source section below) He
married Helen Ester Harmon (b. 4 December 1899, Des Moines,
IA) 13 July 1918, Camp Bowie, Tarrant, TX. She is the daughter of Isaac R.
Harmon (b. 27 July 1863, Edwardsville, Madison, IL) and Evelyn Reseda (King)
Harmon (b. 20 Apr 1864, Collinsville, Madison, IL) Source: From Early Ohio Settlers: Purchasers of Land in Southwestern Ohio, 1800-1840. Van Vickel, Robert (A)* August 17, 1812, residence Butler range 01, township 03, section 10. Alexander Grant was R1, T3, section 4, 1813. These sections touch corners, they were neighbors. Grant is my (Naomi Emmich) ancestor, his youngest aunt married Robert VanVickle. The land patent for Grant is in his name alone, dated 1813, yet in February 1819, he and Evert (Robert's brother) Van Vickle sell the land to Jonathan Winn. The only reason to present this is that it shows Evert Van Vickle and wife Sarah (White) Van Vickle were physically present before the justices of Butler Co, Ohio in February 1819 to sign this deed. Mel's synopsis and biography of Enoch Van Vickle would indicate they had already removed to Jennings Co, IN. I would suggest they may have moved around often, more than one direct move. If these folks could get to Iowa to have William there in 1816, they may have had cousins just across the river in what became Missouri. The army needed a ferry among other things. --from Naomi Emmich in Brian Christensen's Van Vickle Research, 1982-2001 1870 US Census for Clay, Lafayette, MO lists Jackson Van Vickle, 45, farmer, b.
