Will send names of Dorcas and Ezekiel's line because one name unusual...
1850 census shows Ezekial was born in Pa.
Children of Dorcas and Ezekiel 1850 were:
John W. (5) ; Vanhalen 2; Lewis Clark 1.

(Dorcas's maternal uncle was George Shannon, youngest member of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Various siblings of George and their line used the name Lewis Clark or just Clark in their name. The unusual name in the line, though ws the Vanhalen. Also looked like Vanholen but sure it should be Vanhalen.

Maybe a clue, maybe not. No stone should be left unturned in genealogy. I can't tell you how many times my little ??? in old 1970's notebooks of notes I have kept made sense in 1990's or 2000's.
