Background information:

Garret^6 Van Wicklin (Isaac^5, Paul^4, Garret^3, Gerrit^2, Jentie^1 Jeppes) was b. 4 February 1811 and m. Phebe Terril, b. 1811. Phebe d. 3 April 1887 Percy Twp., Ont., CAN. (See note and copy of death registration in source section below.) Children were born in Murray Township, Northumberland County, Ontario, Canada.

Children: James^7 Schuyler Van Wicklin was b. 19 July 1834 and settled in Colbourne, Ontario. He married Isabella Wright (1860) and they had at least four children. James and Isabella are in Strong Township in Sundridge, near South River, Ontario by the 1901 Strong Township census and two of their four children are with them. (Marg Graham-Trottman, a current resident of Port Hope, Ontario is the great great granddaughter of James^7 Schuyler.) Charles^7 Van Wicklin was b. 1836. John^7 Gordon Van Wicklin was b. 1838 and he settled on a knoll above Rt. 2 between Colbourne and Brighton (near Little Lake) and built a house and farm there in the 1860s which still stands today right off “Van Wicklin Lane.” (Marguerite (Van Wicklin) Simpson is the great granddaughter of John^7 Gordon and still resides on a portion of the original John Gordon farm.) Robert^7 Van Wicklin was b. 1839 and d. 2 June 1914 in York, CAN. Mary^7 Sophrona Van Wicklin was b. 1841 and is buried in Bowermans/McFaul Cemetery, Prince Edward County, Ontario. Mary married Henry Peterson (b. abt. 1821 in Canada, son of Nicholas and Margaret Peterson) of Hillyer on 19 March 1866. He was 45 and she was 24 at the time of the marriage. Sarah^7 Van Wicklin was b. 1844. George^7 Van Wicklin was b. 1847. Eliza Ann Van Wicklin was b. 1849. She married William O. Crandall, 29, farmer, born in Colbourne, living in Murray, son of Calvin and Harriet (Clute) Crandall on 18 November 1873 in Trenton. Witnesses were Sarah and Phebe Van Wicklin. (See marriage certificate information in sources below.) Garret^7 Van Wicklin was born 1850 and appears in the 1851 census but is missing from the 1861 census and is therefore presumed to have died in childhood. Henry^7 Harrison Van Wicklin was born 1852. (Henry is the great grandfather of Georgi VAN Sills of Abbotsford, B.C., CAN from whom I have received much information on Canadian Van Wicklins.) There is much more information about Henry on his page. William^7 Wallace Van Wicklin was b. 19 Dec 1856, Brighton, Ont, CAN. He eventually moved to Strong Township and is buried in Strong Cemetery, Lot 22, Con. 11, District of Parry Sound. He died unmarried on 24 April 1920 at the age of 73 years, 4 months, 5 days. Lafayette^7 Leroy Van Wicklin was b. 19 February 1855 and d. 20 Feb 1930, Hastings, Ont, CAN at age 75 years, 1 day. He married Christina ____ (b. 24 September 1854) before 1885. They had one child, Pearl^8 Van Wicklin, b. 29 September 1885. Lafayette's second marriage on 10 December 1919 in Trenton, Ontario was to Lucy Drinkwalter, 64, widow, b. abt 1855 in Wales, England. He was a widower at the time and listed as the s/o Garret and Phoebe (Thiery) Van Wicklin. Lucy's first husband was named David James Drinkwalter. Victoria^7 Van Wicklin was born 1871. Victoria is almost certainly not Phebe’s biological child as she would have been 60 at the time. This may be a child of one of the sons or daughters of Garret and Phebe, or perhaps a child of Garret^6 himself.

1871 Ontario census data

1881 census data lists four dependents still living at home with Garret and Phebe VW. These are Henry, 29 yr; William W., 25 yrs; Lafayette, 24 yrs; and Victoria, 10 yrs. The birth year for Lafayette was modified due to this information. Previously I had Lafayette b. about 1854 and thus the older brother of William. The 1881 census data makes Lafayette younger than William. --information supplied by Jack Montgomery in an email dated 3 March 2001. 1881 Census of Canada; Census Place: Murray, Northumberland East, Ontario, Canada (Source: FHL Film Film 1375875 NAC C-13239 dist 123 SubDist E Div 3 Page 15 Family 71 (Information provided in April 2002 email from Georgi Sills)
