Background information:

Isaac^5 Van Wicklen
(Paul^4, Garret^3, Gerrit^2, Jentie^1 Jeppes) was b. 15 September 1765 and m. Geesje (Aga) Snedecker 19 September 1790 in the Presbyterian Church of Greenville, Albany Co., (now Greene Co.), NY. The marriage record says Isaac Van Weakly of Coxhackie and Yesha Snediker of Freehold (The Dutch pronunciation of Geesje is more like Haysha, hence Yesha; Freehold was renamed Durham in 1805 In the 1790 Census there is a James Snediker in Freehold with 3 males over 16 and 3 females. Since Isaac named a son James this probably is his father-in-law, perhaps originally named Jacobus Snediker--notes from Harry Macy, Jr.) They moved some time between the time that Isaac's father Paul received land in Upper Canada (1797) and the birth of Mary^6 in 1799--who was born in Ontario, Canada. Some, if not all, of the children appeared to have changed the spelling of the surname to “-lin.”

According to personal correspondence from Harry Macy to me dated 28 August 1999, On 29 July 1784, Isaac witnessed the marriage of Thomas Warren and Rachel Drake in Rhinebeck (Arthur Kelly, Marriage Records of Four Reformed Congregations of Old Rhinebeck, 1971, p. 77).
