| 1809 | 1 Dec 1809 Birth of John D. Van Dorn in Saratoga Co. The year of his birth is important in locating him in earlier censuses. The 1875 census is the only source that identified Saratoga Co. as his birth place. In other sources his birthplace is usually just New York.

The other household head is Lucy Van Dorn age 26-44 (born 1775-1795). Combining her age from 1810 and 1820 gives her a birth year range of 1775-1784. The household also includes a male child and a female child ages 10-15 (born 1805-1810), and two female children under 10 (born 1810-1820). Listed between the two households is a young household headed by Israel Barber. | ||||||||

Commas have been added to land descriptions for clarity. Other than actual Massachusetts records, most of the Massachusetts locations were probably recorded after the family moved to New York. Conway would have been the last place in Massachusetts were they lived, and therefore the best remembered.

| 353. Lucy9 [--?--] |
Now, it is seven years later, 1820. She and her children are living in Sweden, a town in Monroe Co., New York, which was first settled only thirteen years earlier. Living nearby is her brother-in-law, Isaac Van Dorn, and his family. How did they get there? The construction of the Erie Canal didn't begin until about 1820.
By 1830, Lucy and Isaac are still in Sweden, in separate households. Isaac's wife died in 1828. Lucy's oldest daughter is no longer in her household. Her son is now an adult and her family is recorded with him as the head of the household.
Lucy died in 1834. In 1836 her son was able to purchase land for a substantial amount of money? Had she been able to manage her husband's estate so that there was money left over?
