Unidentified Vandewaters
This post is a conclusion of a series
of posts on the Vandewater/ van de Water family. These families have not been placed as descendants of either immigrant, Benjamin or Hendrick.

Nov 1756, and died 25 May 1818 in Poughkeepsie, NY.1 She married JOHN FORBUS 14 Dec
1782 in RDC of Hopewell, NY. He was born circa 1758 and died 24 Oct 1827.2 She was of Hopewell and he was of New York at their

John Vandewater
1.
JOHN1 VANDEWATER was born circa 1760 in NY, and
supposedly died 1802 in Hunterdon Co., NJ.10 He supposedly married SARAH UNKNOWN.
She was born in NJ. These parents may be a confusion with a probable
brother of their supposed son, Peter Vandewater. Peter’s family is listed
in the 1850 Census Litchfield, Hillsdale, MI on page 433. A John
Vandewater, age 66, and his wife, Sarah, are also listed in the same township
on the previous page 432. He is presumably the John Vanderwater in the
1793 Tax Ratables of Harrington, Bergen, NJ.
He may possibly be John7 Vandewater (Albertus6, Johannes5, Hendrick4), husband of Margaret Van
Buskirk. His cousin, Baefje Vandewater, and her husband, Andrew Van Horn
(who were baptismal witnesses for John’s son John), had moved to Bergen
Township, Bergen Co., NJ by 1799 when they purchased land there, bordering
Peter Van Buskirk, supposedly Margaret’s father, but probably also appears in
the 1793 Tax Ratables of Bergen Township. He had a great grandson named
Burger, an unusual name. This assumes:
1) Their son, Peter, b. 12 Aug 1773, died
young and they had a 2nd son named Peter.
2) John Vandewater, b. about 1784 according to the 1850 census, was
actually slightly older, b. 1782.
3)
John Vandewater, b 02 Jun 1794 (below), was actually part of a different
family. No documentation of their relationship has been found, he was of
Elizabethtown, Essex Co., NJ, not Bergen, and his migration path is very
different from Peter’s.
Children of JOHN VANDEWATER and possibly SARAH UNKNOWN are:
2. i.
PETER2 VANDEWATER, b. Jan 1789, NY; d. 30 Apr 1885, Adrian, MI.
3. ii. JOHN VANDEWATER, b. 02 Jun 1794, NJ; d. 31 Jul 1853, Vienna, Johnson, IL.

PETER2 VANDEWATER (JOHN3) was born Jan 1789 in NY, and died 30
Apr 1885 in Adrian, MI. The 1880 census says his father was born in NY,

1811 in NJ, daughter of JOHANNES RUTAN and ELIZABETH LAKE.
She was born in 1795 in NJ. The family is probably the one listed in the
1830 census of Lodi, Bergen Co., NJ.

Cornelius Van Waters
1.
CORNELIUS VAN WATER(S) was born circa 1757. No records
have been found of him using the surname Vandewater, but at least two early
records have been found of his presumed son, Uriah, having used the Vandewater
name. Cornelius is thought to have married a woman named POLLY, but it is uncertain. A Polly
VanWaters is listed on the tombstone of Ira Ingelhart, Cornelius’
son-in-law. The dates are hard to read, but it has been transcribed as
“Died Oct 28 1851, Age 94 yrs”. If correct, she is likely Cornelius’ wife.
Cornelious Vanwaters is listed in the 1800 Census of Oswegatchie, Oneida Co.
(later St. Lawrence), NY, age 26-45, and was probably about the same age as his
wife.
This Cornelius could be the Cornelius
Vandewater of Watervliet, Albany, NY in 1790, instead of Cornelius4 Vandewater (Cornelius3, Albertus2, Hendrick1), husband of Mary Burtis (because of
their ages, Cornelius, husband of Mary Burtis could not be the same as
Cornelius, husband of Polly). The Cornelius in Watervliet had 1 son,
under 16, who could be Uriah, and 2 daughters, one of whom could be
Elizabeth. Unfortunately, nothing has been found to link the two
Corneliuses together.
Cornelius’ parents are unknown.
Though the use of the normal Dutch naming conventions faded over time, both
Uriah and Elizabeth named their eldest sons Cornelius after their paternal
grandfather, typical for Dutch families. If Cornelius did the same, his
father may have named Uriah. In the earlier blog post, “The Early
Vandewaters of Hempstead, NY” a Uriah Vandewater was identified who would have
been old enough to be the father of this Cornelius, and himself was probably
the son of a Cornelius, likely Cornelius5 Vandewater (Jacobus4, Benjamin3).
Cornelius Van Waters served a juror
for the Court of General Sessions several times including 9 Nov 1802, 7 Jun
1803, and 4 Jun 1805 where he is listed as of Oswegatchie, yeoman.
Polly is probably living with her
son, Uriah, in the 1810 Census of Oswegatchie, St. Lawrence, NY (over
45). She may be living with her son, Uriah, in the 1820 census of
Hounsfield, Jefferson, NY (over 45). She is not listed as living with him
in the 1830 census, but she may be living with them in the 1840 census, age
80-90.

Lawrence, NY. She was born 20 Jul 1786, and died 20 Apr 1858 in St.

Jefferson Co., NY from Nicholas Low.18 0n 25 Jan 1823, Uriah Vandewater and his wife Sally of
Hounsfield, Jefferson, NY sold land, though he signed as Uriah V. Water.19 His sons, William and George are known from the County
History of LaCrosse Co WI:
William Van Waters was born in
Jefferson Co NY in 1817. His parents moved to St. Lawrence Co NY when he was a
boy and resided there until their death. William came to Wisconsin in 1853. His
brother, George, came with him to LaCrosse Valley. George moved to Jackson

ARCHIBALD2 VAN WATERS (CORNELIUS3 VANDEWATER1) was born circa 1795 in NY, and died
1852 in Fayette Co, VA. He married MARTHA REED.
She was born 25 Nov 1805.
Archibald is tentatively placed in
this family as he is listed in the 1830 census Oswegatchie, St. Lawrence, NY,
the township where Cornelius settled. However, based on his age, he does
not appear to be listed with Cornelius in the 1800 census. He could be
the male 16-25 in the 1820 census living with his brother, Uriah. Others
have his parents as Smith Waters and Margaret McMurphy, though that may have
been because his eldest son was named Smith. His possible sister,
Elizabeth, also had a son named Smith, so the name could have come from the
paternal side of the family as well.
Children of ARCHIBALD VAN WATERS and MARTHA REED are:
i. SMITH3 WATERS, b. 1823.

true and faithful mother. She will be missed from the bedside of the sick, and
