Abraham Meddock Jr. was born circa 1835 in Ohio.¹ He was the son of Abraham Meddock and Elizabeth Barnes.¹ He died between 1860 and 1868.^2,3

     Abraham was not listed as an heir in the distribution of his father's estate suggesting that he had died sometime between 1860 when he was listed in the census and when his brother settled their father's estate in 1868. Abraham apparently died without heirs since there was no mention of any in his father's estate settlement.^2,3

     Anna Meddock was born circa 1820 in Ohio.¹ She was the daughter of Abraham Meddock and Elizabeth Barnes.^2,1 She married Jacob Morrison on 28 December 1842 in Butler County, Ohio.³ She died likely between January 1864 and February 1868.^2,4

     Anna Meddock and Jacob Morrison lived in Morgan Township, Butler County, Ohio, where Jacob worked as a farmer and a day laborer.^1,5
     It is not known when Anna died. In a receipt dated January, 1864 and signed by Anna, she stated that she received her share of her father's estate. Anna is not mentioned in any of the proceedings of her husband's estate which began on 8 February 1868 suggesting that she was deceased. It is likely that she died between January 1864 and February 1868.^2,4

During that time, they lived in the towns of Rochester, Wawarsing, and Napanoch.^{7,8,9,10,11,12} By 1730, Cornelis and Sarah were living in Shippekonk, Montague Township, Sussex County, New Jersey, where their daughter Janetje was born.¹³ Cornelis and Sarah moved across the Delaware River to Pennsylvania by 1734. The van Aken family settled along the Delaware River near Theesacht, Bucks County. In 1752, that area became part of Upper Smithfield Township, Northampton County and presently is in Westfall Township, Pike County. Theesacht was later known as Rosetown, neither of which are currently used.^14,15,16
     Cornelis van Aken purchased 100 acres in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, on 6 December 1740 from William Allen, a merchant of Philadelphia for 80 pounds. This tract of land was part of a larger 213 acres that was divided equally between Cornelis and Derek Rosencranz. Cornelis' land was located along the Delaware River, south of Theesacht (Rosetown) on the southwestern edge of present day Matamoras, Westfall Township, Pike County. Cornelis was described as a yeoman in the deed suggesting that he already owned land.¹⁷ He applied for a land warrant of 92 acres and 145 perches in Bucks County on 4 June 1750. The survey was completed on 29 June 1767 and patent granted on 26 April 1784 to Cornelius' son John. Cornelius applied for a second warrant on 5 May 1752.

     Marinus van Aken was born say 1660 in the Netherlands.² He married Prijntje Rents before March 1682 in Cadzand, Zeeland, the Netherlands.^3,4 He married Pieternelle de Pre on 11 April 1683 in Cadzand, Zeeland, the Netherlands.⁵ He died before 27 September 1724 in Rochester, Ulster County, New York.⁶

     Marinus van Aken and Prijntje Rents were living in Cadzand, Zeeland, the Netherlands, in 1682 when they were witnesses to a baptism. Cadzand is a village in the province of Zeeland, in the far southwest corner of the Netherlands. The village sits on the coast of the North Sea and the border with Belguim. While it is likely that Marinus was born in Cadzand or at least near by, no birth record has been identified for Marinus.
     A Cornelis van Aken was the father of the child for whose baptism Marinus was a witness in 1682. Further Cornelis was a witness for Marinus' second marriage in 1683. The relationship between Cornelis and Marinus is not known.^4,5

     Marinus van Aken and Pieternelle de Pre purchased 100 acres "with ye housing Barne & appurtenances called Macmesaminck" in Mombackus, Ulster County, in a deed dated 24 April 1694 from Aeltie Doorn, widow of Aert Doorn for 2400 schepels of wheat (a schepel is about 3/4 modern bushel of wheat). This payment was to be made in 8 distinct payments between February 1695 and April 1698 or the property would revert back to Aeltie Doorn. At the time the deed was signed, Marinus was living in the town of Horly, most likely a reference to to the town Hurly. It appears the property was returned to Doorn in a deed dated 16 February 1696/7, probably for default on the payment. Mombackus was a town near modern day Rochester.¹² Marinus and Pieternelle lived in the town of Rochester the rest of their lives.^{13,14,15,16,17}
