The following children are listed by another researcher.  I have found no supporting source documentation to suggest where they were born or that they are truly even children of this couple.  Take note of the birth dates and the birth dates of the children we know about and you can see why there is some question.
William Sickels, b. December 27, 1779
James McDonal Sickels, b. October 17, 1793


Notes:
Andrew lived the greater part of his life in New Brunswick, Middlesex Co, NJ.  His will was probated there and I found a deed abstract for the sale of the property by his widow after his death.  So for the longest time I had natually assumed that he had died there.  It was by pure chance that I found a record for his interment in Sancoick, Hoosick, Rensselaer Co, NY.  I'm assuming he and his wife were either visiting or residing with one of their children who lived in the area at the time of his death.

I have conflicting evidence on the name of Andrew's wife.  Although she is referred to in most documentation I've found as Hannah, her given name could have been Annatje.  These names were often used interchangeably in Dutch records.  My bigger problem is with her maiden name.  I had thought it possible that her surname might have been Vance because of a will I found, but there is secondary evidence supporting her surname being Van Norden.  I'm hoping that finding the baptism records for her children will clear this up, but as you can see by the question marks for their birth dates, I've so far I've been unable to locate them.
