Disputed Parentage

Several internet trees and Ancestry Member submissions claim that John Van Pelt was the son of Jacob Van Pelt and Sarah Ryan, without any apparent sources. In the Revolutionary War Pension File of John Van Pelt, a direct reference is made of "John & Joseph Van Pelt of Highland County, Ohio" as being heirs of John Van Pelt, the Revolutionary War soldier of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. Indeed, this John Van Pelt was married in Highland County, Ohio in 1810 to Mary Brady, and he is listed in several census records in New Market, Highland County, Ohio, and appears to be the same John Van Pelt referred to in the before-mentioned Revolutionary War Pension File. More research may be necessary.
