The D.A.R. lineage of what is listed elsewhere in this website as Abraham Voluntine and Jane Hooper Voluntine differ significantly from the one found on the internet. Here is the documentation for an approved D.A.R. line. Note that Abraham is NOT the father, nor do they state for certain that Jane is the first name of the mother.

The information submitted to the D.A.R. appears to have been taken from a family Bible in that the exact birthdates are given for all of the children. This line is a recognized D.A.R. line.   Stephen Volentine born 1758 New York Died 1817 Married ____________ Hooper in 1783 in New York   Their Children:   Stephen Volentine born September 23, 1784  Married Martha Clark Mary Volentine born August 8, 1786 Married __________ McKellop John Volentine born August 25, 1788 "Lived to past 90 years of age" Abraham Volentine born September 25, 1790 Hannah Volentine born March 5, 1793 Married Reverend Hulin Jane Volentine born March 12, 1796 Married _______ Morey Phoebe Volentine born October 7, 1798 Married J. Parmetree Patty Volentine born October 7, 1798 Married John Turner Eliza Volentine born June 13, 1800 Married John Varnum Schoonhoven Volentine born October 12, 1803 Died young

There are so many similarities between this lineage and that on the "Abraham and Jane" page on this website. Interestingly, the Stephen who is the father of this family as opposed to Abraham, died the year Abraham who is listed as the patriarch of the other family, died. However, this record has proof of service in the Revolutionary War for Stephen, and one would suspect this line to be the correct one.
