Disambiguation

NOT to be confused with Benjamin VanVactor (abt. 1770-aft. 1840) that married Margaret Hornback. Benjamin could be the son of this Benjamin VanVactor, but additional research is needed to prove any relationship.


[edit]

Marriage

Benjamin VanVactor is sometimes said to have married Margaret Hornbeck in Bourbon County KY. This is probably based on the following Ancestry record

Kentucky Marriages, 1802-1850 about Margaret Hornback
Name: Margaret Hornback
Marriage Date: 25 Mar 1793
Marriage Place: Bourbon, Kentucky, USA
Spouse: Benjamin Vanvector

However, this is an unlikely match for Benjamin (1) given his death in Greene County TN in 1822. Possibly the same person, but unlikely migration path. Most likely this is for a different Benjamin VanVactor, though likely a kinsman. Also, daughter Phebe is believed to have been born in 1766, which would precede this marriage by a considerable amount---again pointing to a different Benjamin VanVactor.


[edit]

Birth

Benjamin is sometimes identified as having been born in Berkley County (now in W. Va), about 1740. This would make him about 86 at the time of death. His will indicates he has married children, and grandchildren by Phebe Melvin. This is easily consistent with Benjamin (1), but direct evidence is needed to show that the Benjamin (1) who died in 1822 in Greene County TN, is the same Benjamin who was born in Berkley County.

Will

Establishes that Benjamin was in Greene County TN in 1822, and that daughter Phebe had died by that date, but had left children by Joseph Melvin. Need will transcript.

VanVactor Message Board 7 Feb 2009
A man by the name of J. Benjamin VanVactor died in Greene County, TN leaving a Will. The will was dated Nov 25, 1822. In this will he named three children whom he basically disinherited. These children were Joseph VanVactor to whom he left $5 and a daughter "Curtitue, wife of Charles Porter, he left $5 and a daughter Pheby (deceased) wife of Joseph Melvin he left $5 to her heirs. None of these children are found in the Greene County, TN records. The rest of his Estate was willed to his "housekeeper" and slave Nelly whom he freed. In the 1830 "free people of color census" is found Ellen (Nelly)VanVactor. Nelly's daughter Ery was also willed $5. A copy of this Will is available from the T. Elmer Cox Genealogical Library, 423-638-9866. Ellen Van Vactor is found in the 1850 census, age 70, "mulatto", born in Virginia. Nelly apparently died before 1860.
