XX. JOHN K.⁷ VANDERBURG (Clyamon⁶, Peter⁵, James⁴, Henry³, Dirck², Lucas¹), son of Clyamon Vanderburgh and Roxanne Mitchell, was born on 10 Mar 1816 in Canada. He either accompanied his parents when they migrated to Iowa or followed them shortly thereafter. By 1842, he was in Iowa, where he married EMILY CULVER on 1 Jan 1843. Emily had been born in Ohio in Mar 1824.

They maintained their residence in Iowa until the year 1864, at which time John and his family crossed the plains to Oregon and settled at Marshfield, in Coos County. Here he purchased land on which he settled and continued to reside until 1880. Then he moved to the Siuslaw River country in Lane County and filed upon a government claim of one hundred and sixty acres, which he lived on for a number of years. After this, he sold the property and lived a retired life until the time of his death in 1888 in Lane County, OR. His wife, Emily, died in 1906. Evidently John dropped the "h" from his last name by the time he got to Oregon. John and Emily had ten children, five of whom where living after 1900:

On 28 Mar 1842 in Cedar County, IA, she married ISAAC BEADLE ACKER. She was still living in Iowa when her father died in 1859.

XX. WILLIAM ADDISON⁷ HUGHSON (Pamela [Hamlin]⁶, Margaret [Vanderburgh]⁵, James⁴, Henry³, Dirck², Lucas¹), son of Pamela Hamlin and Elkanah Hughson, was born about 1813.²⁰⁸ He married around 1831, MARGARET DAY who was born in Nova Scotia on 24 Jan 1815, the daughter of William Day and Jane Arnold.

William Day was captain of a whaling ship that was lost at sea. His wife, Jane, survived him by only a few months. This left Margaret an orphan at about age 10. An aunt took her in for a short while before Margaret, at about age 14, went to live with her father's brother in Flushing, New York.

William Hughson was a young friend of Margaret's uncle. He and Margaret met while he was studying for the Methodist Ministry. At age 16, Margaret became William's wife. After residing at Flushing a short time, they removed to Sullivan Co., NY by 1840.²⁰⁹ On 1 May 1842, William purchased property in the town of Thompson from Seth and Lucy Allyn,²¹⁰ establishing themselves on a farm near Monticello. In 1850, William and his family were still in Thompson, where William was a farmer with an estate valued at $1,600.²¹¹ During the 1850s William was an active Methodist. He "acted as supply under the presiding elder, serving charges in Sullivan and adjacent counties." By 1860, William was fully occupied as a Methodist preacher, having apparently turned over the management of his farm to his 22 year old son, John.²¹² William's first pastorate was at the "Wild Meadows," near Monticello. Though "Wild Meadows" was technically their home, the Reverend William was usually at home only one day a week having six other churches in which to preach. In later life, William moved on to other pastorates.

William died on 19 mar 1887 at the age of 74 years at Woodville, CT. At the time of his death, William was in his first year of pastorship at a Methodist Episcopal Church at or near Woodville. He was buried in Arlington Cemetery, Kearny, NJ on 23 Mar 1887. After her husband's death, Margaret made her home with her youngest daughter, Hattie. Margaret died on 7 Feb 1902 at the residence of Mrs. Annie Le Viness in Hartsdale, NY. Children:

XX. DAVID WILLIAMS⁷ VANDERBURGH (Frederick Hoffman⁶, Gabriel⁵, James⁴, Henry³, Dirck², Lucas¹), son of Frederick Hoffman Vanderburgh and Caroline Williams, was born in New York City on 7 Dec 1841. As a youth, he accompanied his father to Port Huron, MI after his mother died. In the fall of 1861, he went from Port Huron to the University of Michigan Medical School. In the spring of 1862, he took a special course of lectures during which the surgeon of the Army notified the state governments that any medical student who wanted experience would be sent to hospitals in Washington. David was one of eight who accepted. He was first sent to Armory Square Hospital, then to Cranch Hospital and for a time was the only medical officer there at night. In Dec 1862, he went to Carver Hospital.

On Apr 13 1863, he received a telegram notifying him that his brother, Frank, had been wounded in a Civil War battle. The telegram also forwarded his commission as Assistant Surgeon of Volunteers of the 10th Regiment of Michigan Infantry at Nashville, TN. He joined the regiment on 29 Apr 1863 and became attached to Gen. Sheridan's divisions. He served during Sheridan's campaign's throughout the South until the summer of 1864. In August of that year, he left the Army and went home to Port Huron. He then graduated in medicine at Ann Arbor, MI and once again rejoined the Army, this time as a surgeon at Ft. Gratiot near Port Huron. He remained with the 17th US Infantry until Aug 1866.

David left Michigan for Ilion, New York, soon after he ended his tour with the 17th Infantry. On 24 Jun 1869 in the Reformed Dutch Church at New Paltz, NY, he married KATHERINE ELTINGE. She was the daughter of Edmund Eltinge and Magdalen Days and had been born in New Paltz on 12 Apr 1844.

David and Katherine settled immediately at Ilion, NY for several years. Then about 1873, they moved to Fall River, MA where David continued his medical practice until his death at Fall River on 29 Aug 1910. His wife, Katherine, died at Quaker Hill, Pawling, NY on 21 Jul 1914. Children:

XX. GEORGE S.⁷ VANDERBURGH (James A.⁶, George W.⁵, James⁴, Henry³, Dirck², Lucas¹), son of James A. Vanderburgh and Maria S. Campbell, was born in Beekman, Dutchess County, NY on 10 Sep 1842. Evidently his birth took its toll on his mother since she died two months later. At the age of seven, he was living at home in Beekman with his father and stepmother. Six years later at age 13, his father passed away. This left him at home with his stepmother and his two infant half sisters. On 1 Oct 1861 at the age of 19, Hiram Haviland of Pawling was made his guardian. This legal action came a little late for any effective guardianship, for on 19 Aug 1861 George had married 24 year old FRANCIS M. PELTON. The marriage took place at Pawling and was performed by J. W. Stark, a justice of the peace.

With the Civil War gaining importance, George left his pregnant wife of three months and enlisted at Pawling on 12 Nov 1861 in Company A, 4th Regiment of New York Heavy Artillery Volunteers. He served continually for three years until his discharge at New York on 11 Nov 1864.

During the war, George was able to take one furlough home to visit his wife and infant daughter. After the war, George returned to Dutchess County. In a deposition later made by his wife, she said that: "On his return from the army he came to me and I was living with my mother ... in Poughkeepsie. I saw him when he came home. He stayed only a few days. Then he went to Pawling, NY on his farm with the understanding that I should come. He never sent for me and I never went. ... I never saw him after he left here in 1864."

The year 1865 found George residing without his family in Pawling, NY. Here, he lived and worked as a laborer and farmer with the William Trowbridge family. However, he did not remain long in Pawling. By 1867, he had relocated to Iowa, where on 6 June of that year he obtained a divorce from Francis in the District Court of Muscatine County. Although Francis had been apprised of the divorce proceeding, she opted not to contest it.

Mrs. Frank R. Jones, a next door neighbor to George's ex-wife, Francis, wrote a letter on 11 Nov 1912 to her cousin, Dr. W. W. Allegar a U. S. Department of Interior employee, asking for his help in obtaining a widow's pension for Francis. Francis had previously applied for a widow's pension in the mid-1890s but had been denied because of her divorce. In the letter, Mrs. Jones stated that while George was in Iowa, he "got a school teacher in trouble - was told he must get a divorce and marry the girl. This he did." The letter went on to say that "Mr. V. married the girl in Iowa ... then left her and returned to his own place near Pawling. The woman he married in Iowa afterward obtained a divorce from him."

How long George remained in Iowa is not known. He was probably still there in 1870 since he doesn't appear in the census for Dutchess County.

Continuing on her own, Francis, according to Dutchess County Guardianship Records, was made guardian of her 10 year old daughter on 20 Mar 1873.

By 1880, George was a 37 year old farmer, divorced, and living in Pawling with his 69 year old grandmother, Mary Campbell.

When George applied for a Civil War disability pension in 1891, the severity of the war and subsequent years had obviously taken their toll on him. He was "wholy unable to earn a support by manual labor by reason of heart disease and lungs, itching piles, paralysis over shoulder and gravel [kidney stones]." Within two years he was dead. George died in Pawling on 20 Mar 1893 at the age of 50. He is buried in the Campbell Ground (Hurd's Corners) at Pawling, NY.

Throughout the latter half of the 19th century and up to at least 1912, Francis, her mother, and her daughter eked out a living in Poughkeepsie where they resided at 7 Carroll Street. Fruitlessly pursuing hopes of some widow's pension benefits, she was left to support herself by making vests, her only source of income. In a 9 Jan 1896 statement, Francis related that "my daughter owns this house. She inherited it from her great-great grandfather, George Sherman by will. She got above $1700 under the will and with it she bought the home. She is a music teacher. My mother helps me at vest making. She is 76 years old." Francis' situation by 1912 had not improved. Mrs. Jones described their plight when, in 1912, she said "Mrs. Vanderburg my next door neighbor needs the money [pension]. Her daughter is far from being well and Mrs. V. has valvular heart trouble ... and I really believe they do not have enough to eat. ... There don't seen to be any one to help these poor people ...."

Francis never did qualify for a pension, but somehow she survived and lived another 20 years before she passed away on 12 Feb 1933.
