Research Notes

Piwonka¹ states that after the death of Lydia (Van Schaack) Van Vleck, Isaac Van Vleck remarried in 1786 and moved to Onondaga County, New York. Margrieta/Margaret was adopted by her uncle Henry Van Schaack and his wife Jane, but it was an adoption with some contention. Margaret is the niece for whom Henry Van Schaack built the house (still standing) at Stuyvesant Landing. After Henry died, Margaret and her husband moved to central New York and were described as living near Isaac Van Vleck.
