- 1 NAME Willem /Van Zandt/
The connection between (Willem) William Van Sant and his presumed son Joseph is based on the following:
1. The 1810 census shows William and family living in Cobleskill (later called Carlisle), Schoharie Co., New York (p.62) as follows;
William Van Zant
Males:
1, age 16-25 (Joseph would have been age 21 or 22)
1, age 45+
Females:
2, age under 10
2, age 10-15
1, age 45+
2. The 1820 census shows William and family living in Carlisle, Schoharie Co., New York as follows;
William Van Zant
Males:
1, age under 10
1, age 45+
Females:
2, age 16-18
1, age 27-45.
A few doors away was Joseph Van Zant
Males:
1, age under 10
1, age 26-45 (Joseph)
Females:
1, age 16-18.
The dates seem to work, however more proof is needed to prove or disprove the relationship.
3. Joseph also named an older son William, perhaps after his father.
