In the article cited below, Macy writes...
"A branch of the family using the spellings Van Wickler/Van Wicklar descends from an Evert Van Wicken (1775-1852) of
Jamaica, and Hempstead who appears to be connected to the line of Evert^3 (Gerrit^2, Jentie^1 Jeppes) though the link has
never been proved." (This information from the Benjamin Van Wickler application to Holland Society lends credence to Mr.
Macy's statement.)

Children of Cornelius and Nancy (Foster) Van Wickler are listed in "The Stilwell Petition". This is a long petition attached to the will of Samuel Stilwell of Valley Stream, Queens, NY (3 Dec 1887), who was closely related to the Fosters. The long version of the Stilwell petition was transcribed in full by genealogist William A. Eardeley and included as part of his 1924 Combs genealogy.
