Regarding Anthony Vanderpool who was born in New York or New Jersey and moved to Bradford Co PA after marrying Elizabeth who was not entirely of European heritage: A pretty definitive history of Anthony (1754-1840) was just published, in the May 2007 issue of “The Settler,” quarterly magazine of Bradford County Historical Society. Page 52 lists the following children of Anthony Vanderpool and Elizabeth Jansen (known as Johnson in PA):
Willem (b 1780 NY), Anthony (b 1782 NY), Dirk (b 1874 NY), Petrus & Maria (twins b 1787 NY);
Samuel (b 1793 PA), Abraham (b 1796 PA), Lovina (b 1797 or 1798, PA), Henry (b 1800, PA), Catherine (b abt 1803, PA), Eleanor (b abt 1806, PA).

[Introduction] by Henry G. Farley
Several months ago I was contacted by Richard McCracken regarding a history of the Vanderpool family that he and Terry Vanderpool had compiled. McCracken’s objective was to have the piece published and he was making the offer to the Bradford County Historical Society to have this opportunity. I was pleased to have this submission as the work of Mr. McCracken and Mr. Vanderpool is well done and tells the accurate story of the family in Bradford County and will now be recorded for future generations. The writers acknowledge Mr. Donald Vanderpool for the use of his records and his research. Donald is no stranger to us at the Historical Society as he has done countless hours of research with us. The late Gladys Gay was so proud of Donald and his work and was very protective of the files Donald presented to the society. We have published articles in The Settler twice before that touched the Vanderpool line but nothing as extensive as this has ever been published by the society. “Doane Vanderpool” True story which was published in the Towanda Daily Review January 7, 1930 was reprinted in Vol. XXXII No. 1, February 1994 and “Johnson of Johnson Hall” was reprinted in Vol. II, No. 4 November 1954. I have included in this publication several Vanderpool histories that were printed in Bradford County history books and newspapers so that the reader can see the discrepancies in the story and how easy it was for history to be recorded incorrectly.
Also included in this volume is a piece from local historian Joyce M. Tice regarding the Centennial of the Carpenter and Pierce A1335 Postcard series. Joyce has posted these cards on her web site and we have included a few of them in this issue to entice you to look at the whole collection online as it is historically significant and very interesting. A special thank you to Joyce for her submission. The cards tell a part of our western county history through the photos taken 100 years ago.
