Research Interest: Cornelius Van Dyke,b.abt 1760, married Sarah Soper b.1767. Both born in N.Y.State. Daughter Anna Marie b. in N.Y.abt 1800, Son Minard b.in Canada 1805, Sons Ferdinand b.1808 and Christopher b.1809 in N.Y. Father Cornelius slain by an indian in 1813. Widow Sarah (Sally) emigrated with her children to Lewistown,Ill. in 1823. I am searching for parents of Cornelius and Sarah and their ancestors. Relatives known to be in N.Y.1770-1823 were Chase and Rowe families. We think this Van Dyke family might have started from the NINE PARTNERS TRACT, Crum Elbow, or the Amenia area.Co nnecticut is also possible. By 1800 they had moved to Northern N.Y. or possibly Canada.We do not know if they were loyalists, but have checked those obvious lists.
