help placing 3 Norton Harding van Sicklens
I am pursuing a line of van Sicklens that I believe started in Vermont:
(1880 U.S. Census)
ILLINOIS , COOK, 12-WD CHICAGO
NARA Series: T9 Roll: 194 Page: 351
167th house visited
head: Charles T. Van Sicklen, 38y, advertising agent, born Cincinnati Ohio, father born Vermont, mother born NY
wife: Sarah E., 37y, born Indiana., father born NY, mother born NY
son: Norton H., 16y, born Indiana., clerk in store

dau: Clara M., born Kentucky.
(1870 U.S. Census)
OHIO , HAMILTON, 22-WD CINCINNATI
NARA Series: M593 Roll: 1217 Page: 704
2nd house visited
Charles Van Sicklen, 29, Deputy US Marshal/Census enumerator, born OH
Sarah, 27y, born IN
Norton, 6y, born IN
Frank, 3y, born IN
Sarah Mathews, 53y, born NY
Frank Mathews, 20y, born IN --------------------------------------------------------------------
We see in the 1880 census that Norton H. Van Sicklen's grandfather was born in Vermont.
There are 3 Norton Harding van Sicklens;one born in 1864 in Indiana, another simply listed as the son of the founder of the Van Sicklen Speedmeter company in Aurora, ILL, and a 3rd, Norton Harding van Sicklen III, a Colonel in the USAF, born 15 Jul 1911 in St. Charles, IL and died 15 May 1979 in Hendersonville, NC.
Do any of these match any in your files?
Thanks for any help,
Walt Stander
