gfann002 — 2009-11-15 00:01:02Z

I am searching for family of and information on the family of Helen Josephine Vandiver. She was married to Jefferson Davis Fann. Her family calle her "Josie". She was born abt 1849 in Arkansas. They are listed on the 1920 and 1930 census as being in Montgomery County Arkansas.

I believe her father's name was Enoch, but don't have a name for her mother.

Jefferson Davis and Helen moved to Ripley County MO where they raised their family.

Any help would be appreciated.

I sent you an email, but I am a granddaughter of Clarence Vandever. We lost him on January 28 of this year. I'm not sure what his widow has done with Great-Grandma's Bible. I'll have my mom find out.

Thomas Vandever/Samuel Cobb Orange County Indiana

beardc — 2008-08-30 15:01:25Z

I am looking for anyone who may have come across information on a Samuel Cobb in connection with Thomas Vandever. Both were justice of the peace and circuit judges in Orange County Indiana in the early 1800s and their names were often found together in various documents. Thomas Vandever died in 1844 in Illinois, however, no information seems to exist about Samuel Cobb and he has become a major brick wall for his descendants. If you have any information I would greatly appreciate it!

Moses Vandever 1830 Census Washington Cty. AR

GreigLewis — 2008-07-29 22:43:46Z

Does anyone know where the Moses Vandever listed on the 1830 Washington County AR Census page 6 came from? In the 1840 Census he is Lee's Creek Township page 95 of Crawford County,AR. A Samuel Lewis in Vineyard Township of Washington County named a son Moses Vandever Lewis, possibly named after Moses Vandever.

Re: George Arnold Vandever

JRDelorey — 2008-03-01 19:06:05Z

I only have a middle initial for Josephine, V. And I did not have Thomas's middle name, which thanks to you I do now have.

I had Walter as a son, but no middle initial, which again thanks to you I now have.

The C. in James C. Vandever may be Cooper, I'll have to dig around till I find why I think that is so. I have a birth date of about 1812 for James C. His wife I have as Eliza Jane Dawson. I have same info on James W. Vandever and his wife as an Arnold. The Buncome county stuff came from the Book, Cumberland County's first Hundred Years, But based on some census data I found I believe this is wrong. The census data indicates that James W. was born in Pennsylvania. I have not been able to track him. For George A., I have birthdate of 8 Feb 1841, married 1864-5, Died 21 Jun 1931. Also have a remark that he is buried in Lantana Cemetery, if so I may have a picture of his gravestone. Will go looking for it.

obit of Isabel Vandever Hornaday

Lukiza — 2007-10-03 20:56:06Z

This article was in the Harvey Ledman's Diary and Scrapbook. I don't know what newspaper it was in, but he lived in Lafayette, Indiana. The article had a hand written date of Aug 30, 1901 on it.

Mrs. Isabelle Hornaday
The death of Mrs. Isabelle Hornaday occured at 4:00 Thursday afternoon at the home of her granddaughter, Mrs. John Englert, in Battle Creek, dysentery being the cause,after an illness of but one day. Mrs. Hornaday fractured her right hip two years ago while visiting her daughter, Mrs.H.A. Wallace, after which she was brought to the home of her son, Harvey J Hornaday, this city. A week ago Sunday she was taken to the home of Mrs. John Englert. She was conscious up to the hour of her death. Mrs. Hornaday was born in Preble county, Ohio, 89 years ago next October the 10th. She was the widow of John Hornaday and of the twelve children born to her but two survive, Harvey J Hornaday and Mrs. Wallace. Her husband died at Pyrmont sixteen years ago. Mrs. Hornaday was born and reared a Dunkard and was a woman of noble character. She had many warm friends and admirers.(note-here there seems to be a printing error)The funeral will take place tomorrow; burial in Pry-friends and admirers. (note-the article appears to continue correctly)The funeral services were held Saturday morning at 8 o'clock in Pyrmont, a Dunkard minister officiating.(End of obituary)

Note- Isabel Vandever Hornaday was Harvey Ledman's maternal grandmother.

Re: Vandever Family

2006-02-28 15:07:28Z

I have worked on the Vandeveer history for many years. Mine goes back to Capt. Jacob Jacobsen Vandeveer (1630-1698) who married Katherine Brassert. Their children are Helena, Judith, Elizabeth, William David, Hendrich, Cornelious, Jacob Jr, and John. I have a snag in my history with regards to a John Vandeveer, Sr. who married Mary Justis. I find a record of their marriage, but nothing more. It is at this point that one source takes the line another direction and never gets back to the original Jacob. Records have not survived to verify John's ancestry, so I am stuck. A Goldie Shaffer worked years on this history and could not solve the problem. Her work can be found in the LDS Family Search, but it contains a lot of errors. Other sources are The Vandeveers of NC, KY & IN by Mabel Van Dyke Baer and 1693 Census of the Swedes by Peter Craig and A Calendar of Delaware Wills, New Castle C. DE. The one source that I disagree with is The Vanderfords: Early Settlers of America by Cheryl Lynds Jensen. There are a lot of published sources, but none can solve my problem. I hope you get this message and I would like to hear back from you or anyone else about the Vandeveers.

Re: Arthur Vandever of Oklahoma?

My Mother's fathers name was Arthur Vandever, but she never knew him. My Mother was born in Muskogee County, OK in 1904. Apparently her parents were not living together when she was born. Her mother was Cora (Speer) Vandever who died when my mother was a baby. Did you find any info on Arthur?

Re: Pauls Valley Ok. Vandevers

My grandparents were Archie Vandever and MaryBelle Wood. As far as I know they lived in Arizona with their 7 children..my father being the youngest...Ronald..but the family is from Oklahoma. I know quite a bit about the family history back to before we came here from Europe..but my grandmother did full research of the family history and my aunt is making it into a book.

Vandeveer's of NJ, OH, KS, OK

JenniferHale14 — 2007-08-22 15:53:25Z

I am doing research on my grandmother's family, as she was a Vandeveer born in Oklahoma 1922 to Alonzo (Lon) and Nancy Day Vandeveer. Alonzo was born in Barton Co. Ks 1882 to Abraham (Abram)[b.1856 Ohio d. 1893 Kansas] and Sinai Huitt [b. 1861/2 d. 1885/6?]. He has two brothers, William Henry b. 1879 and John b. 1884?. Abraham's father and mother were, William Dominicus Vandeveer b. 1811 in New Jersey d. 1878 Barton Co. Ks and Cynthia Howell b. 1820 Ohio d. 1878 Barton Co. Ks. I can seem to go no further back. I have found the family in Ohio before the move to Kansas, but can't seem to find William Dominicus' parentage. I have heard rumors that William D. moved a settlement of Germans to Kansas, but can find no supporting documentation to this. Also, it has been passed down that Sinai committed suicide, but again can find no documentation. Abraham was also reported as killed in a tractor accident, but I have conflicting information that it was a railroad accident. If anyone has any information pertaining to these Vandeveers, it would be greatly appreciated, as my grandmother is now 87 and knows so very little about her family...I would love to find her family for her!
