| To our knowledge, this is not our direct family line although some descendants of Stephen and Mary Rebecca have shown Stephen to be the son of Abraham, which is not the case. We'd love to learn how our family is connected to this line! In a website by Jim Turner, this is the Abraham and Jane family ... in the D.A.R. records, this is not, and the D.A.R. line is shown on another page of this website. | ||

 |
According to court records, two of the above brothers, John and Stephen, were named guardians of the twin sisters, Martha (Patty) and Phebe upon the death of their father, Abraham, in 1817. | ||
 |
According to the Turner website, Van Schoonhoven died the same year as his father, Abraham (but in the D.A.R. records, the Abraham who died in 1817 was a brother, not the father; yet 2 deaths in the same family, within a few months. Perhaps an epidemic?) | ||
 |
The Van Schoonhoven name is a well known and highly respected moniker in the Saratoga, New York area. A Van Schoonhoven was a ranking officer in the Revolutionary War. The family name is/was also linked to major business/industry in the area. It is thought that Abraham Conklin Voluntine was a friend of a Van Schoonhoven, thus naming his youngest son after his friend. | ||
 |
According to Jim Turner's website, some members of this family were Tories during the Revolutionary War. | ||
