VANSCYOC, FLETCHER: Help needed
Posted by: Marilyn Terry Hudson (ID *****5622) Date: September 01, 2004 at 06:06:08

I am looking for documentation (bible, family story, letters, etc.) that provides identification of the husband of Rev. Abraham Fletcher's second wife, Sarah FORLEY or FARLEY in 1860 in Fremont Co., Iowa. She was identified as Mrs. Sarah Van Scyoc (any spelling)in the Fremont County Biographies.

They apparently had no children but raised hers from her previous marriage. Her youngest daughter married a Beckworth and died in Fremont Co., IA in the early 1900's.

Sarah is - I believe - listed on the 1850 Fremont Co., IA census with her husband "A. V. Shyock (misprinting of the name Van Sycoc)b. 1808 in VA and wife Sarah A. born 1824, Va. and daughter Margaret born in IA and son Franklin b. IA.

By 1860 the family was spread out - perhaps due to the death of the father - and children (Margaret, Franklin,Jackson, Benton,and perhaps an Almira and an Esther/Hester) are with Van Syco relatives KEELER and MUSTARD in the same county. Sarah I have not found in the 1860 census and no record of a death for A. Van Sycoc.

Any help appreciated in untangling this.
