Background information:

Edward^7 L. (probably for Leverich) Van Wickel (David^6, Jr., David^5, Frederick^4, Evert^3, Gerrit^2, Jentie^1 Jeppes) was b. 1825, Newtown, L.I., NY and d. 26 October 1883 and bur. DRC, Newtown. His first m. was to Charlotte _______ (b. 1831, d. 15 May 1882, bur. DRC, Newtown. No information available on issue. His second m. was to Hannah R. Simmons (no b. or d. dates). (Although the information received and posted here has Charlotte and the first wife and Hannah as the second, the 1860, 1870 and 1880 US Census data in source section below suggests just the opposite. Difficult to determine who the mother is for each child: presumably, Hannah is the mother of Marion, David, Lottie, and Addie)

Children: Marion^8 F. Van Wickel (b. 7 July 1849, d. 24 October 1849 in infancy) and bur. DRC, Newtown; David P. Van Wickel b. 28 November 1851, Corona, NY and died 11 November 1927 in Old Greenwich (formerly South Beach), CT. David married Anita Armentaro Sperry. They had a child Edward Sperry Van Wickel who married Ella Jennings. Their union resulted in three children: Anita Irene Van Wickel, Marietta Van Wickel, and Edward Lansing Van Wickel; Alletta^8 D. "Lottie" Van Wickel (b. Oct. 1856, Corona, NY). It appears from the 1880 US Census below that she may have married Arthur Lyman; Adeline "Addie" DeVoe Van Wickel b. 22 June 1858, Corona, NY and died 15 May 1913 in Old Greenwich (formerly South Beach), CT. She is buried in the cemetery of the First Congregational Church of Greenwich on South Beach Avenue in Old Greenwich, CT. She married William Henry Hammond.
