Genealogical Notes on the Van Hise Family

The Van Hise Family 

Updated 8/13/2024 Cornelius Van Hise

The descendants of Auke Jans VAN NUYS and Magdalena Van Langendyck adopted four different surnames: Van Nuys, Van Hise, Ouke, and Johnson.  The current author was unable to find a written genealogy the early members of the Van Hise branch.  Little is known for certain, but this blog post is an attempt at bringing together various strands of the family in hopes of creating a framework for further research.

The family appears to be descended from two branches of the Van Nuys family.  The largest part are the descendants of Auke³ Van Nuys/Hise (Jacobus², Auke¹) and the smaller part are some of the descendants of Isaac³ Van Nuys (Jacobus², Auke¹).  The families sometimes alternated between the two surnames over time, and occasionally within the same document.  Because of that fluctuation, it is not certain that the Van Hise surname was not adopted by a few other branches.

The Family of Auke³ Van Hise and Aeltje Amerman 

Auke³ Van Nuys/Hise (Jacobus², Auke¹) and Aeltje Amerman (daughter of Dirk Amerman and Aeltje Vanderbeek) were married on 1 Dec 1715 at the Reformed Church of Flatbush.[1]  They lived at New Utrecht in 1731,[2] where the family is listed with 5 boys 10 and under, 3 women over 10 (besides Aeltje), and one girl under 10.  Their children can be summarized as follows:
    1)  a daughter, born about 1717;
    2) Mary, born about 1719, named after her paternal grandmother, married Cornelius Van Houten about 1742;
    3) Catherine, baptized 23 Jun 1721,[3] named after her maternal aunt;
    4) James, named after his paternal grandfather, named as his son in Auke's probate record, probably the eldest son;[4]
    5) a son;
    6) a son;
    7) John, named after his paternal and maternal uncles, the bondsman for Auke’s estate, no further trace;
    8) Elizabeth, named after her paternal aunt, married a Griggs;[5] and
    9) Isaac, baptized 16 Jan 1731/32,[6] born before the 1731 census, named after his paternal and maternal uncles.  No further trace.
Estimating Aeltje’s birth at about 1690, she may have had another child born after the census.

 He was of New Utrecht on 4 Aug 1722 when he sold[7] a house and an acre of land in Flatlands to Johannes Van Sicklen.  The family was apparently planning a move to Oyster Bay, but wound up selling the land there at public auction on 5 May 1736.[8]  They moved to Middlesex Co., NJ by 1752 when he is listed as a freeholder in New Brunswick (which included North and South Brunswick at the time).[9]

Auke died before 12 Apr 1755 at Perth Amboy, Middlesex, NJ, when letters of administration were issued to his son, James, his widow having renounced her right.[10]  John Van Huys, presumably his son, was the bondsman.  Both James and John were of South Amboy at the time.  The records of the Reformed Church of Flatlands, NY,[11] include payments on 4 May 1756 and 14 Jul 1756 from Auke Van Nuys, presumably from his estate.

Of Auke’s children, only his daughter, Mary, has been traced further.  She married Cornelius Van Houten, son of Johannes Van Houten and Tryntje Pieters,[12] before 07 Oct 1743 when their eldest known child was baptized.[12a]  Their children were:
1)  Catherine, baptized 7 Oct 1743, named after her paternal grandmother, witnesses were Jacobus Van Nuys and Gerrebreghie Van Nuis, probably her uncle and his probable wife Gerebrechtje Amerman.
2)  Aeltje, baptized 18 Mar 1746/47, named after her maternal grandmother;
3)  Johannes, baptized 01 Jun 1750, named after his paternal grandfather; and
4)  Ouke, baptized 22 Oct 1758, named after his maternal grandfather.

Descendants of Isaac³ Van Nuys (Jacobus², Auke¹) 

The children of Isaac³ Van Nuys frequently appear with the surname Van Hise, most often in the records of the Reformed Dutch Church of Harlingen, NJ,[13] where many of his grandchildren were baptized.  The use is not consistent within families.  Among those who stayed in New Jersey, Van Nuys appears to be the standard surname used.  Among those who moved to Kentucky, Van Hise was still used frequently.  Though some may have adopted Van Hise as their standard surname, for purposes of this discussion I am not assuming any did.  Given that Auke Van Nuys/Hise had five sons, it is possible that most of the families who adopted Van Hise as their surname are descended from him.

Isolated Early Van Hise Records 

The following are isolated early records of members of the Van Hise family.  Since there is so little information, it is uncertain if the record is just an isolated use of the surname Van Hise.  I have listed them here so they can be considered on a case-by-case basis.

CORNELIUS VAN HIES, on 9 Dec 1747 he witnessed a deed of Jochum Gulick of New Windsor, Middlesex, NJ for land in Middlesex Co., between the Millstone River and Assapink Brook.  (Note: this may be a mistranscription of Van Voorhees.)  He may be the Thomas Van Hise mentioned below of Monmouth Co., NJ thought to have been born abt. 1730, that I have not been able to confirm his name.  See East New Jersey Land Records, abstracted by Richard Hutchinson, Books G3 and H3.  pg. 23.

JOHN VAN HISE, b. circa 1732, NJ.  He was a low Dutchman who broke out of the Trenton Jail in 1780, age 48.[14]  He could the son of Auke & Aeltje van Hise, if he was slightly older than the age given in the newspaper.

JOHN VAN HISE, age 19, in included in the 1793 Military Census of North Brunswick, Middlesex, N,[15] so born in 1774.  He may be the John Van Hise, age 40 in New Brunswick, NJ, who enrolled in the military on 17 May 1814.[16]  He was awarded land in Calhoun Co., IL on 21 Apr 1818 for his service, but it is unclear if he ever claimed it.

JOHN VAN HISE, m. JANE West, a widow on 3 Jul 1814, Monmouth, NJ.[17]  They appear to be the family of John Van Hise listed in the 1830 census of Freehold, Monmouth, NJ, he being 40-50, his wife 50-60, with a son and daughter, both under 5.

JAMES VAN HISE, son of Auke, may be the James Van Hiser of Middlesex, NJ who was the victim of petty larceny and whose case was prosecuted in 1783.[18]  He may also be the James Van Huis who served as a juror in a Supreme Court case involving Hendrick Hogland in Middlesex, NJ in 1784.  He may be the Jacobus Van Nise in the 1779 Tax listing of North Brunswick, Middlesex, NJ, taxed on 160 acres.  A John Van Nise, single man, is also listed. 

GARRET VAN HISE is listed in the Tax Ratables of 1786 in South Amboy, Middlesex, NJ.  His presence in South Amboy suggests he may be one of the unknown sons of Auke & Aeltje van Hise, or possibly a grandson.

ABRAHAM VAN HISE, b. circa 1745, NJ; d. after 1767; m. CATHERINE HOOGLAND; b. circa 1746, NJ.  He is mentioned in the will of his father-in-law, Gerrit Hoogland, written at New Brunswick and dated 30 Jul 1767.[19]  He may be the Abram Van Hise of South Amboy, Middlesex, in the tax lists of 1780, 1782-1786, and 1789.  He may be one of the unknown sons of Auke Van Hise or a grandson.  He may be the same person as the next Abraham if Catherine was a first wife of his.

ABRAHAM VAN HISE, died. bef. 10 Jun 1793, Southward,[20] Perth Amboy, Middlesex, NJ; m. GEERTJE UNKNOWN.  In his will his wife to inherit everything and was the sole executrix, so he likely had no children.  He is probably the Abraham/Abram Vanhice of South Amboy in tax lists of 1780, 1782-1786, and 1789.

ABRAHAM VAN HISE, b. bef. 1772, NJ; d. aft. 23 Aug 1792; m. HUCHE UNKNOWN.  They sold land to John Storey who sold it on 23 Aug 1792 to Benjamin & Isaac Storey, sons of James Storey, dec'd.[21]  They appear to have obtained the land by a survey on 7 Oct 1761 and 2 deeds in 1768 and 1769, but I can't track down those deeds to verify them. It could be that the survey and the 2 deeds specified were to John Story (he had a survey done that same day) and the 4th property was by deed but date unspecified, from Abraham and Huche.   The survey to John Story was done on 7 Oct 1761:  89.21 acres. In New Brunswick; near Cranberry Brook; near Georges Road; near Basses Line; Middlesex County.  He may be the same Abraham who contributed to the salary subscription at the First Presbyterian Church of Cranbury, NJ about 1785.[22]

ISAAC VAN HISE is included in the tax lists of 1785 and 1786 of South Amboy.  Given the location, he may be a son or grandson of Auke Van Hise.

ISAAC VAN HISE is included in the tax lists of 1772, 1778, and 1789 of South Brunswick.  He contributed to the salary subscription at the First Presbyterian Church of Cranbury, NJ about 1785, along with Abraham, mentioned earlier.  He may be the Isaac Van Hise buried in that church’s cemetery in 1795, or he may be the same Isaac Van Hise was a member of the Presbyterian Church of Cranbury, NJ in 1806

ISAAC VAN HISE, b. 1790-1800, is listed in the 1840 census of Franklin, Hunterdon, NJ with 2 sons under 10, 1 daughter under 10 and a wife b. 1800-1810, no further trace.  This appears to be the family of Isaac Van Hise and Sarah Thompson whose family lived near Trenton, though both he and his wife were 10 years younger than this record implies.

ISAAC VAN HISE, b. circa 1783, NJ; m. LANEY DAVIS, 13 Feb 1808, Mercer Co., KY.  His name is written Isaac Van Nice in the permission of Laney Davis's mother, Peggy.  In the marriage bond his name is written Vanhice, but he signs as Vannuis.  Give the family migration patterns, he may be the son of Cornelius Van Nuys and Mary Van Nuys.  Again, just speculation, but he may be the Isaac Vanhice listed in the 1840 census of Clinton, IN.

GEORGE VAN HISE, b. 19 Oct 1807, NJ; d. 23 Dec 1868, East Amwell, Hunterdon, NJ; m. MARY HAGAMAN BELLIS; b. 06 Apr 1806; d. 18 Aug 1875, East Amwell, Hunterdon, NJ.  They are listed in the 1850 census East Amwell, Hunterdon, NJ, but with no children living with them, except James Smith.  They are listed in the 1860 census East Amwell, Hunterdon, NJ, but with no children living with them, except William Hagaman.

JOSEPH VAN HISE was involved in a Supreme Court case in 1771, so born before the mid-1750s:
43795; VanHise, Joseph (Plaintiff); Joseph VanHise v. Benjamin Ward; Trespass (for breaking into and damage of a blacksmith shop in Windsor); Middlesex; 1771 – 1772.  He may be the same Joseph in the 1789 tax list of South Brunswick.  He may be the same Joseph Van Hise who owned land bordering what Okey Van Hise purchased in 1796 in South Brunswick.[23] 

OKEY VAN HISE, the estate of, was involved in a Supreme Court case, State of New Jersey v Thomas Jackson, of an appeal on Insolvency prosecuted in the Court of Common Pleas in New Brunswick, Middlesex Co. in 1815.[24]  The inventory of Mr. Jackson's estate includes a note of Okey Van Hise of $36, and a debt to the administrators of the estate of Okey Van Hise, dec'd of $5.  This estate is too early to be any of the other Okey Van Hises discussed here, except the husband of Aeltje Amerman, but this is too late for him.  Was he the Unknown Van Hise of Middlesex below?  

WILLIAM VAN HISE m RACHEL SUTTON, 05 Feb 1804, Presbyterian Church of Cranbury, NJ.  Nothing further is known of this couple, though there is another couple, William Van Hise and Rachel Hegeman, whose records may in fact belong to this couple, see below.

WILLIAM VAN HISE, b. bef. 1765, is listed in the 1810 census of Shenandoah, VA with 3 males under 10, 2 males 16-26, and no females.

THOMAS VAN HISE, b. before 1790, NJ; m. ABIGAIL ALVERT, 30 Apr 1808, Presbyterian Church of Cranbury, NJ, no further trace.

PETER VAN HISE, b. 1789, NJ; d. 09 Jun 1865, South Brunswick, Middlesex, NJ.[25]  He was a farmer.  I have not found him in any census records of Middlesex, NJ, nor any Peter Van Nuys.

JAMES VAN HISE, b circa 1770, m. ELIZA UNKNOWN.  He is probably the James Van Huyse, age 23, listed in the 1793 Military Census of North Brunswick, Middlesex, NJ.[26]  On 18 Feb 1829 James and Eliza Van Hise of North Brunswick, Middlesex, NJ sold land in North Brunswick to William Dehart.  He is named Van Hise throughout the deed, except in the signature as Van Nuis.[27]  He is probably the James Vanuise listed in the 1840 census of North Brunswick, aged 60-70, with 1 son, 3 daughters and his wife.  A Jas Van Hise, Jr., probably his son, aged 20-30, is listed in the 1840 census of North Brunswick, NJ, with a son, under 5, probably wife aged 15-20 and an older woman.

AELTJE VAN HISE, b. circa 1763, NJ; m. JACOB VANDEVENTER, 12 Apr 1783, Middlesex, NJ;[28] b. circa 1760.  Given her name, she was likely a granddaughter of Auke.

GEERTJE VAN HISE, b. circa 1773, NJ; m. HENRY SILLCOCKS, circa 1793, Presbyterian Church of Cranbury, NJ.

Early Van Hise Families 

UNKNOWN VAN HISE of South Brunswick, Middlesex, NJ 

UNKNOWN VAN HISE was born circa 1745, and died bef. 1816 in Middlesex, NJ.  He married SARAH UNKNOWN.  He may be the Oakey Van Hise whose estate was involved in a Supreme Court case in 1815, see above.

This family has been pieced together from the following deed (in poor condition, the liber copy being a typewritten transcript), words in [] were added based on other information within the deed:[29]
On 31 [Jul] 1815, Sarah Van Hise, John Van Hise & wife [Mary], Okey Van Hise & Ann his wife, [John] Roe [and] Elizabeth his wife, William Fra[] Ja[] his wife, Nathaniel Roe and Mary [his] wife, [a]ll of the County of Middlesex and State of New Jersey, parties of the first part, and
[Matthew]their (sic) Rue of South Brunswick, County and State [afore]said of the second part;
a plot of land in South Brunswick, Middlesex, NJ, bordering Nicholas Jake [sic], Nathaniel Britton and the road to Matthew Rue’s Mill, containing 12 acres and 22 perches;
Signed by (in columns downward): Sarah Vanhise [my assumption: the widow], John Vanhise, Mary Vanhise [his wife], [O]rkey Vanhise, Ann Vanhise [his wife], John [Roe], Elizabeth [Roe, his wife], Nathaniel [Roe], Mary Roe [his wife].
Acknowledged by the same people that signed the same day.  Recorded 13 Feb 1852.

I am assuming Sarah is the widow, based on her appearing first without a husband.  William Fra[] and Ja[] did not sign or acknowledge the document.  It is possible this is William Van Hise and his wife, Rachel, who moved to Liberty, Butler, OH where he purchased land on 15 Jul 1815,[30] which may explain why he and his wife were not available to sign or acknowledge the deed.  Okey moved to the same township by 1820.  No record of Okey owning real estate was found, but he did pay personal property tax there by 1826.[31]  Since there is not any evidence that William Fra[] is actually William Van[], I have assumed this couple is a daughter named Ja[ne?] and her husband.  I have listed William’s parents as unknown and detailed his family with more information later.

Children of UNKNOWN VAN HISE and SARAH UNKNOWN are:
1.           i.    JOHN² VAN HISE, b. circa 1766, NJ.
2.          ii.    OKEY VAN HISE, b. 05 Dec 1772, NJ; d. 13 Oct 1846, Decatur, Van Buren, MI.
3.         iii.    ELIZABETH VAN HISE, b. circa 1776, NJ; d. 13 Dec 1862.
            iv.    JANE(?) VAN HISE, b. circa 1780, NJ; m. WILLIAM FRA]?].
             v.    MARY VAN HISE, b. circa 1784,[32] NJ; m. NATHANIEL ROE, 27 Feb 1803, Presbyterian Church of Cranbury, NJ; b. circa 1780.  Probable 1830 census record in West Windsor, Middlesex, NJ, showing a son aged 10-15 and a daughter aged under 5.  Neither appear in the 1850 census.  Nathaniel died on 23 July 1869.[33]

Generation No. 2 

1.  JOHN ² VAN HISE (UNKNOWN¹) was born bet. 1760 – 1770 in NJ.  He married MARY UNKNOWN.  She was born bet. 1760 – 1770.  His three eldest sons are speculative.  His sons, Joseph and William, are based an online family tree[34] which cites the 1830 and 1840 South Brunswick census records as sources, but does not include the younger children, and lists John’s birth year incorrectly as 1778.  His son, John, is placed here based on being styled John Jr, in two mortgage records, the unusual form of his name, Van Hyse, and his location.  Others list John’s parents as John Van Nuys and Lucretia Vanderipe.[35]  That is probably correct,[36] however, I have placed him here since I cannot find a baptismal record for him (their other children have baptismal records), and he at least occasionally used the surname Van Hise while John and Lucretia never did.  Adopting a new surname at this late date seems unusual.

2.  OKEY² VAN HISE (UNKNOWN¹) was born 05 Dec 1772 in NJ, and died 13 Oct 1846 in Decatur, Van Buren, MI.  He married ANN RUNYON 17 Feb 1800 in Middlesex, NJ.  She was born 04 Nov 1772 in NJ, and died 26 Apr 1846 in Decatur, Van Buren, MI.

Richard and Jemima Addis of South Brunswick on 27 May 1796 sold land to Okey Van Hise of South Brunswick.[37]  Land in South Brunswick bordered Joseph Van Hise, possibly his father or more likely his uncle, see Isolated Records above.  Other deeds include:
Okey and Ann Van Hise of South Brunswick to Francis Timbrooke land in Middlesex on 5 Jan 1804.[38]
Okey and Anne Vanhise of Southward, Middlesex sold land on the se side of the road from Cranbury to Dunkans Mills to John R. Schenck of West Windsor. on 18 Mar 1805.[39]
Okey and Ann Van Hise of South Brunswick to Elias Mershon of the same Township on 8 Oct 1814.[40]

His family appears in the 1820 census of Liberty, Butler, OH.  Union township was formed in 1823 from Liberty Township.[41]  Okey appears in the Union Township, Butler Co. Tax lists beginning in 1826.  Daughters Nancy & Sarah are based on the 1820 census and marriages in Butler, OH.

Children of OKEY VAN HISE and ANN RUNYON are:
              i.    JOSEPH³ VAN HISE, b. 10 Dec 1805, NJ; d. 14 Apr 1873, Decatur, Van Buren, MI.
7.          ii.    NANCY VAN HISE, b. 09 Apr 1806, NJ; d. 31 May 1858, Putnam, IN.
8.         iii.    ANNA² VAN HISE, b. circa 1810, NJ; d. 26 Sep 1863, Van Buren, MI.
            iv.    SARAH VAN HISE, b. circa 1810, NJ; d. 1831; m. JAMES RICHEY, 26 Nov 1829, Butler, OH; b. 1804, Erie, PA; d. 1888.
9.          v.    WILLIAM VAN HISE, b. 17 Oct 1812, NJ; d. 22 Dec 1890, Cass, MI.

3.  ELIZABETH² VAN HISE (UNKNOWN¹) was born circa 1776 in NJ and died 13 Dec 1862.  She married JOHN ROE 04 Feb 1803 in Presbyterian Church of Cranbury, NJ.  He was born circa 1780.  They are listed in the 1850 Census Princeton, Mercer, NJ.

            iv.    GERTRUDE ROE, b. circa 1814, NJ.

Generation No. 3 

4.  possibly JOHN³ VAN HUYSE (JOHN ², UNKNOWN¹), b about 1788 in NJ, died 01 May 1871 in Middlesex, NJ, m. CHRISTINA LYLE,[42] b about 1788 in NJ.  As noted earlier, the placement of this family is speculative, alternating between the use of Van Hise/Huyse and Van Nuys as its surname.  Researchers will want to look for the family under both names.  The family is listed in the 1850 census of North Brunswick, Middlesex, NJ.  He is probably the John Van Hise listed in the 1840 census of North Brunswick with two older sons, assuming his and his wife’s ages are miscategorized.  As John Van Nuis, Jr. (Vanhise in the acknowledgement), he and his wife, Christina, mortgaged land in the city of New Brunswick on 5 May 1813.[43]

Children of JOHN VAN HISE and CHRISTINA LYLE are:
              i.    MOSES LYLE⁴ VAN HISE, b. 16 Oct 1813, NJ; d. 13 Apr 1883.

THOMAS VAN HISE of Monmouth and Middlesex, NJ 

THOMAS VAN HISE was thought to have been born about 1730, based on the fact he bought about 200 acres of land in 1751 in what would become Ocean County, based on the sources below:

[3] The Society Scroll, Ocean County Historical Society (Sep 2007):
"Thomas Van Hise bought 200 acres of land in 1751. His son Isaac manufactured spinning wheels and chairs. (One of those chairs is in the museum.) His son George and grandson Antoine built the first cranberry crates.
 
"Biographical Cyclopedia of Ocean County, New Jersey (1899): "The paternal grandfather of the subject was Isaac Van Hise, a manufacturer of chairs and spinning wheels.  His father, Thomas Van Hise, located on a tract of 200 acres of land in Cassville, Ocean County, about 150 years ago [i.e. ~1749], and so far as is known was the first of the name to settle in New Jersey, ... it is believed that all of the Van Hises in the country descended from him. He was the father of the following children: Oakey, Abraham, Thomas and William; all of whom were farmers and highly respected citizens in their day."

However, though Thomas Van Hise is said to have purchased the 200 acres in 1751, he does not appear in the 1755 Freeholders list,[43a] nor in the 1758 Tax Rateables list.[44]  He is also not listed in the 1778 or 1780 Tax Rateables list of Upper Freehold (which included what is now Jackson Twp., Ocean Co., NJ),[45] thus I have not been able to confirm Thomas as the father of these children.  As noted below, his sons appear to have been born after 1770, seeming late to start a family if he was born about 1730. Tentatively, I believe he was born closer to 1750.

Generation No. 2 

1.  ISAAC² VAN HISE (THOMAS¹) was born circa 1771 in NJ, and died before 22 Aug 1845 in Middlesex, NJ.  He married (1) ABIGAIL HANCE Feb 1796 in Middlesex, NJ, daughter of THOMAS HANCE and PHEBE ARVIN.  She died 1828.  He married (2) MARY UNKNOWN circa 1830.

[2] A History of Monmouth and Ocean Counties ... (p. lxi):
"Vanhise ... The present family of the name in Brick and elsewhere in Ocean, descend from Isaac Vanhise who had sons, George, John, William and Jesse."

Isaac was of "the same County and State", presumably Monmouth, when he purchased land in the South Ward of New Brunswick, Middlesex from Cornelius Hance, Rebecca Hance, wife of Thomas Van Hise. both of Monmouth and John Hance of Philadelphia on 17 Apr 1728.
Middlesex Deeds Vol 26, p. 213
It seems likely Cornelius, Rebecca, John and Abigail were siblings.  They were likely children of Thomas Hance and Phebe Arvin of North Brunswick.  He died by 1795 when Phebe appears in the tax list.

Abigail Van Hise joined the Olde Yellow Meeting House (in Upper Freehold, Monmouth, NJ) on 2 Sep 1798.  She is noted to having died in 1828.[46]

1813 Isaac and Abigail Van Hise of Upper Freehold sold to Thomas Van Hise, Book X, p, 243

It appears that Abigail died between 1827 and 1831 and Isaac remarried a woman named Mary:

I am presuming this is the same family in 1850 census West Windsor.  Given the range of births, Abraham may have had a second wife.

13 Mar 1815 Abraham and Marjary Van Hise of Upper Freehold sold six lots of land in Upper Freehold (purchased as early as 1795).  Book Y, p. 251

He was of Middlesex in 1815 when he purchased land there, maybe in West Windsor as it bordered land of David Schenck.

He was of Middlesex in 1815 when he sold land in West Windsor to William Van Hise, also of Middlesex.

He was of West Windsor, Middlesex in 1818 when he sold land to William McCabe.

WILLIAM VAN HISE of New Jersey and Butler, OH 

WILLIAM¹ VAN HISE was born 29 Sep 1780 in NJ, and died 19 Jul 1850 in Butler, OH.[51]  He married RACHEL HEGEMAN.  She was born 04 Mar 1779 in NJ, and died 11 Apr 1850 in Butler, OH.[52]  It is possible that Rachel Hegeman and Rachel Sutton, who married a William Van Hise in 1804 are the same person.  As noted earlier, William Van Hise may be the brother of Okey Van Hise, who moved to the same township by 1820.

He may be the William Van Hise who witnessed a deed of Okey and Ann Van Hise of South Brunswick, NJ on 5 Jan 1804.  He was of South Brunswick, NJ on 2 Mar 1808, when he purchased the land in West Windsor which he later was the mortgagor to Matthew Rue on 11 Dec 1811 for a lot of land in West Windsor, NJ, bordering land of Benjamin Atchley.[53]  On 26 Dec 1811, he and Rachel, of West Windsor, sold in West Windsor to Jediah Applegate.[54]  He was the mortgagor for 5 lots (one bordering land of Benjamin Atchley) on 18 May 1814,[55] where it notes he sold land to Nathaniel Roe (possibly his brother-in-law) on 28 May 1813.  In early 1815 (day & month not given) William and Rachel Van Hise of Middlesex sold three lots of land to Abraham Van Hise of the same county, acknowledged 28 Mar 1815[56]  One of the lots bordered Nathaniel Roe.

The above records could apply to William Van Hise and Rachel Sutton, who married at Cranbury in 1804, see above, as there are no indications in the deeds as to which couple they belong.  However, since there is lots of activity before mid-1815, but none after a purchase by William Van Hise and Rachel Hegeman in OH in mid-1815 (see below), I believe these records belong to them.  Given Rachel Hegeman’s age at the birth of her first child at 25, It is possible she was previously married to a man named Sutton, and Rachel Hegeman and Rachel Sutton are the same person.

On 7 Jul 1815 he purchased land from Benjamin Larew of Butler Co., OH[57].  It does not say where William was residing at the time.  He is listed in the 1820 census of Liberty (later Union) Twp., Bulter, OH.  On 12 Aug 1825 he was of Butler Co., OH when he purchased land in Switzerland Co., IN.

36 See sale of land in New Brunswick in 1816 from John and Lucretia Van Nuis to John Van Nuis, Jr., (Middlesex, NJ, Deeds, Vol 12, p. 870) and the sale of the same property by John and Christina Van Nuis in 1833 (Middlesex, NJ, Deeds, Vol 26, p.503).  The original sale was for a considerable amount of money, so he was not necessarily their son.  In the same year John and Lucretia sold land to Peter Wyckoff, probably not related.  See familysearch.org: https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/L2QZ-V94
