Notes for: Hannah (Anna?) Van Sickle
We do not know who this Hannah Van Sickel (AKA Van Sickeln, Van Sycklin, Vansickle, Van Syckel) was, but on WikiTree I do find an Anna Van Sickle, born about 1743 in Hunterdon County, NJ married to her second cousin Cornelius Van Sickle in 1768. "She was distinguished for her beauty and neatness. She was a pure blond, with light red hair and blue eyes - a perfect type of the original stock." (Source #1)
Her husband Cornelius was the son of Andrew and Mary Van Sickle. They had eight daughters: Mary, Sarah, Nancy, Anna, Rachel, Naomi, Catharine, and Elizabeth.
The source below does not know the name of her father, but her mother was a Margaret Van Sickle from France. The father might have been a Peter, but that is a guess based on naming patterns back then. I think it might have been Abraham, but that is also a guess.
Find A Grave (but with no sources) says her father was Pieter Ferdinand Van Sickle (1717-1754) and Margrietje Laan (1719-1759). It sasy Anna died on January 7, 1840 in Sussex Co., NJ.
Also from Find A Grave [https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/60419576/cornelius-van_sickle]:
"...the first child of Andrew and Mary [Van Sickle], was born in Hunterdon County, in the State of New Jersey about the year1741. He married (about 1768) his second cousin, Miss Anne Van Sickle, oldest daughter of Margaret and ______ [Peter], and sister to Peter I., by whom he had eight children--all daughters;....He (Cornelius, the II.) is said to have walked from Hunterdon to Sussex County (New Jersey) with a willow cane which he cut in two and planted on the old homestead in Wantage Township, near what is now (1880) called the "Van Sickle School House," from which grew two large trees. He was very supple, as well as athletic, and many traditions exist in regard to his wonderful feats of strength and agility. He was elected Deacon in the Low Dutch Reformed Church i 1801, and was distinguished for piety. He died in Sussex County. New Jersey, about the year 1820. His daughters Anna and Rachel removed to Western New York, and Elizabeth to Pennsylvania, where she is said to have been twice married after the death of her first husband. Cornelius Jones."---A history of the Van Sickle family in the United States of America..." pp.100-101
Anna was the first and oldest child. The others were Mary, Elizabeth and Peter. It is said that Anna's two younger sisters married and removed to Virginia after which nothing is known about their history. The father died about 1754 and the mother about five years later. So she would have been an orphan by about 1760 at the age of 16 or 17 leaving her somewhat vulnerable.
The book mentioned below on the Van Sickle family says that her brother Peter (and so she as well) was left an orphan at a young age. Peter then lived with a family that treated him very badly. His uncle Rynear Van Sickle came and took him away where he was treated better. He was living in rags and hardly getting enough food to eat.
About 1744, Hannah's brother Peter married a Catherine Huffman, daughter of Jacob Huffman, whose ancestors came from Holland. His first children were named Abraham, Sarah, Andrew and Margaret followed by Cornelius, Elias, Peter and Catharine. That is interesting since it shows that Peter's Van Sickle father was probably an Abraham or an Andrew based on the old Dutch naming customs. They eventually removed to Central Ohio and settled in Delaware County.
Maybe Hannah/Anna had her son John Bodine out of wedlock in 1765 and then married her cousin Cornelius in 1768 after the father of her first child, John Bodyne the cooper, ran off to escape a warrant out for him for "fornication." This is very likely.
