(Photo, courtesy of Pat Horton in 4 Nov 2004 email which stated..."As one faces the Van Wickle burial plot (in St. Peter's, Spotswood, NJ), Maria's tombstone is the first on the left, the next one being her brother Isaac. Since 1985 when I first saw it flat on the ground, it had been repaired and raised, although placed in the wrong location, now six feet in front of where it should be. Maria's tombstone gives her birth and death dates (b. Feb. 4, 1796, d. Mar. 10, 1884) and the following Biblical command... 'Watch, therefore, for ye know not what hour your Lord will come.")
Parents:
Nicholas' parents are John and Ann (Rue) Van Wickle
Catherine's parents are Samuel and Maria (Snedeker) Vantine
