Biography

Birth9 September 1757John D. Disbrow was born on 9 September 1757 in South Amboy, Middlesex County, New Jersey.
Research Note17701770 Sayreville, Middlesex County, New Jersey. History of Middlesex County lists early Sayreville families as Disbrow, Price, Letts, Morgan, Peterson, Applegate.1
Marriage1 April 1780He and Susannah Morgan were married on 1 April 1780 in Middlesex County, New Jersey, In Susannah's pension application she brought Mary Hillyer before Judge Jacob Van Wickle, 14 Sep 1836, to testify that she was a bridesmaid at their marriage on 1 Apr 1780, by the Rev. Benjamin Dubois.2
Church AffiliationJohn was affiliated with the Baptist church, in Middletown, Middlesex County, New Jersey,based on naming. 20This is based on his naming the Baptist pastor James Goble as old friend and pastor, in his will. Also, the History of Monmouth County (Ellis, 1885) on p. 834 states that early Baptist meetings, in the 1830's, were sometimes held at the residence of Mr. John Disbrow, grandfather of Marshal John N. Disbrow. John N. was a grandson of John D. Disbrow, so this reference is to his home.

Biography

Marriageabout 1826James Vanderhoef and Alice J ("Elsie") Disbrow were married about 1826 in Middlesex County, New Jersey, The name James was provided in the marriage record of their son Theodore, in Massachusetts in 1850.
Census1830He appeared in the census 1830 in Middletown, Middlesex County, Connecticut. James is listed as: 1 male under 5
1 male 5 and under 10
1 male 20 and under 30
1 male 40 and under 50
1 female under 5
1 female 20 and under 30

Could be Orin Jerome (1827), Theodore M (1826), perhaps a father or uncle, but the female under 5 is confusing. That should be someone born 1826-1830. Catherine Ann was born 1821 and would have been 9. Amanda Susan was born 1831, after this census.

Other Vanderhoof's in Middletown in 1830 were:
Cornelious

Deathbetween 1835 and 1840He died between 1835 and 18401

Biography

Birth1826Theodore M. Vanderhoef was born in 1826 in Middletown Point, Monmouth County, New Jersey, USA. The information for the place of Theodore's birth comes from the birth register of his first son, Clarence, in Somerset, Massachusetts, which lists him as the father, a Potter born in Middletown Point, NJ.

Middletown Point is now Matawan.
Census4 September 1850He appeared in the household of Alfred E. Letts in the census 4 September 1850 in Somerset, Bristol County, Massachusetts. Alfred is listed as Alfred (39, Potter, born in NJ), Alice Letts (42, born in NJ), Theodocia L. Letts (4, born in Mass.) and Theodore M. Vanderhoef (24, Potter, born NJ)
Marriage23 September 1850Theodore M. Vanderhoef and Adelia G. Bowers were married on 23 September 1850 in Providence, Rhode Island, The marriage was recorded in the marriage register of Somerset, Bristol County, Massachusetts. The residence of both Theodore and Adelia was Somerset. Theodore was 25, a Potter, born in Middletown, New Jersey, parents James & Alice M. Vanderhoef, married by William J. Breed, Pastor of the Hight Street Church, Providence, RI. Adelia G. Bowers is 20, born in Somerset, and her parents are Philip & Abigail Bowers.

It is interesting that Alice's middle initial is given as "M." here (Morgan?) although elsewhere it is given as "J."

The birth is registered in Somerset, Bristol County, Massachusetts, but in the residence of the parents column the writer first wrote "Ditto" from the places above (Somerset) and then wrote over that darkly "New Jersey".

Death of Spouse3 February 1858On 3 February 1858, Theodore suffered the loss of his spouse Adelia.
Directory1858He was mentioned in the directory listing of Phineas Carman Pearsall in 1858 in Brooklyn, Kings County, New York, at 3d av n. 17th. which said "clothing", with work address of 31 Coenties Slip. This address is a change from the address later mentioned by family members on Butler St. Also listed at this address was Theodore M. Vanderhoef, a salesman.

The next directory available on the Brooklyn Library website is for 1862, and Phineas Pearsall is not listed in that directory. There are 10 Vanderhoef's, not including Theodore, and none at 3rd and 17th.
Marriageafter 1858Theodore M. Vanderhoef and Catherine Vanandale were married after 1858
Census7 July 1860He appeared in the census 7 July 1860 in New Brunswick, Middlesex County, New Jersey. Theodore is listed as: Theodore M. (34, Potter, value of personal estate $200, born in New York) with Catherine (33, born in New Jersey), Henry C (5, born in New Jersey), Theodore Jr. (1, born in New Jersey).

Henry C. must be Clarence Bowers Vanderhoef from Theodore's first marriage with Adelia.

She is listed as an Invalid. The informant was Mrs. Seth Borden, Fall River, Mass. She was buried in Gibbs Cemetery, Somerset on 27 Jun 1908, Undertake Ira A. Hathaway of Somerset.

There are a number of inaccuracies here, due evidently to confusion of the informant. The informant, Mrs. Seth Borden, was her daughter from her first marriage, Susan Benjamin Gibbs Borden. She could not accurately name her grandparents. She lists Amanda's brother Theodore as her father, Amanda's father was James Vanderhoef. She lists Elsie Morgan as Amanda's mother, her mother was Alice (Elsie) Disbrow Vanderhoef Letts. Susan Borden was born in 1855, and James Vanderhoef died before 1840.
