In ref. to your John VanSlyke and Lydia Marenus, you said sons were John, Jacob and David. I have a CHRISTOPHER C. VAN SLYKE who's father was a John Van Slyke and mother was Lydia (Morell???). Christopher also had a brother David. Christopher's mother appears to be the Lydia who is buried in Clockville Cemetary. Do you have any information or evidence that would point to Christopher as a son of John and Lydia or as a brother of David?
My information comes from Christopher's second marriage record in Cass County, Iowa, that states his father as John and mother as Lydia. Mother's last name hard to read.
My Christopher was born at "Klipnoc" NY on
26 Feb 1816 and died at Anita, Iowa 23 Mar 1913. Married in Cortland Co., NY 16 Feb 1837 to Polly Barto.. Moved to Jackson Co., IA 1851. Moved to Jones Co., IA 1864. Moved to Cass Co., IA and died Anita.
