Email correspondence from Richard McCool dated 18 April 2004

1850 US Census for Oyster Bay, Queens, NY lists Peter Van Wicklen, 40, and Rosanna, 35, living in the household of Peter's widowed mother, Elizabeth (Monfort) Van Wicklen, 68. Also residing there are Peter and Rosanna's children: Elizabeth, 14, George, 12, Hannah, 8, Mary, 5, and Peter, 2. (There is apparently a mistake in the census regarding "Hannah." The census clearly says Hannah and not Henry; however, it appears that the child actually b. in 1842 was son, Henry.)
