• Will*: 3 April 1815; Ameliasburgh Twp., Prince Edward Co., Upper Canada; "Garret Vahouten's will is on file in Picton.

A memorial to tbe regisered pursuant to act in such made and provided, of a will dated the thrid day of April, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and fifteen, made by Garret Vanhouten of the township of Ameliasburgh, in the County of Prince Edward whereby the said Garret Vanhouten did give and bequeath to his wife Eleanor one-third part of his real estateto be enjoyed by her so long as she shall remain his lawful widow and no longer; and also the said Garret Vanhouten did give and bequeath to his three daughters, Nancy, Harriet, and Sarah the remaining part of his real estate to be equally divided between the three. Which said will is witnessed by Jonathan Greeley of the township of Sophiasburgh, surveyor, Harriet Greeley and Cyrus Morgh, of the township of Murray, yeoman. This memorial is therefore desired to be registered pursuant to the above act by me Jacob Ryckman, one of the lawyers in the said will mentioned as witness my hand this eighteenth day of February in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and twenty-eight. Signed: Jacob Ryckman, and sealed in presence of Jonathan Greeley, Phebe Greeley."" this document was linked to the family tree of muffin7484 on ancestry.ca, June 4 2021.
  Note: This document supports the link between Jacob Ryckman and the Van Houten family. His is the husband of Harriet, one of the three sisters, and is a lawyer involved in the preparation of the Will of Garret Van Houten. The text at the top of the page gives the birth dates of the four children, although it suggests the name Jacob Rightmeyer as the husband of Harriet. This kind of confusion re Ryckman is common and the document clears it up. Also, I expect the name Cyrus Morgh is actually Cyrus Marsh, who lived in Murray at this time. (Dan Buchanan, June 4 2021)¹

• Note*: circa 1790; Upper Canada; Note from Dan: Many trees on ancestry.ca show that John Ryckman, son of Johannes Ryckman and Susannah Brown, married Sarah Carpenter in 1800 in NY and lived in NY state. I wonder. The John Ryckman I see here is the younger of three brothers, Tobias and Jacob are older. These two older brothers are clearly shown living in Murray Township on Lot 10 & 11, Conc 2, from 1811 through the 1840s. John Ryckman begins to appear in the records in 1821 with a young family and is there, right beside Tobias and Jacob, until he sold the land in 1848. None of them are around Murray after 1850 and are therefore hard to track down. But, in regard to John, the census and land records are very clear in suggesting that he is one of the three brothers shown in the Early Ontario Loyalists list with their mother in 1785 at Adolphustown. They may have been in Prince Edward County for a few years, where there were lots of relatives settling, before coming up to Murray. It is also interesting to note that it was Philip Ryckman, their uncle, who obtained Patents for the land in Murray where they would settle. He sold parts of it to all three - Tobias, Jacob and John. So, which John Ryckman is this? Good question. For now, I am providing the info that is found on most trees that have anything for this person. I'd love to see some documents to support the various pieces, such as a marriage record, baptism for the guy who married Sarah Carpenter and maybe something re his death. I'm skeptical, but leaving this out there for now. Please help with this if you can. (Dan Buchanan, June 1 2021)
