lists Garrett Van Wicklen, 52, with wife, Maria, 47, and
Jacob, 22, Sarah J., 22, Phebe A., 18, Eliza B., 16, Elbert, 13, and Mary 11.
Garrett and son, Jacob, are farmers and all are b. NY.
1850 US Census for Oyster Bay, Queens, NY
lists Phebe Van Wicklen, 52, with Mary Bennett, 64, and
James Bennett, 6. Phebe is most likely the older sister of Maria (Van Wicklen)
Bennett, wife of Garrett Bennett. James is the son of Garrett and Maria Bennett.
Unsure who Mary Bennett is in that she is too old to be Garrett's wife.
1860 US Census for Oyster Bay, Queens, NY
lists Garrett Bennett, 60, farmer, with wife, Maria, 55,
Jacob, 30, farmhand, Elbert H., 23, farmhand, James, 14, farmhand, Phoebe A. 25,
Emma, 6, and Phoebe Van Wicklen, 60.

keeping house, Elbert H., 33, farmer, James H., 25, farmer, Mary A., 29, Carrie
L., 8, and Daniel W., 6. Also in household is Phebe Van Wicklen, 70. (Phoebe
is the daughter of Garret who marries Walter Wanser in 1880; Elbert is single at
this point and will marry Mary Maybee in 1873, James dies the following year in
1871. Not sure who Mary A. is because Mary E. Bennett married Elbert Baylis in
1860. Whose children are Carrie and Daniel? Is Phebe Van Wicklen, Garrett's
sister-in-law, Femitje Van Wicklen, older sister of his deceased wife, Maria?)
1880 US Census for Brooklyn, Kings, NY lists Elbert
Bennett, 43, milkman, with Mary E., wife, keeping house, and daughter, Elmira,
5, at home. All are b. NY with parents b. NY. Also in household are Mary Maybee,

name is Maybee...so is Mary Maybee a relative of hers....a cousin perhaps?)
