Bio

Married Mary "Polly" VAN HOUTEN 22 Dec 1810 in Bergen Co., New Jersey. The record of Van Wagoner burials is a bit of a mystery as they are not recorded in the sexton's record. Brother Holmes states in his book, "A Grave Experience, At Historic Winter Quarters" that… "this [is a] list of known persons on the cemetery plaque but [they] are not on the sextons lists or any grave numbers shown." So I have no idea of how the info was obtained. But the list shows them as Van Wagoner, Halmah J. and VanWagoner, VanHouten, Mary. -- Terry Latey, Pioneer Heritage Librarian at Winter Quarters Trails Center The mystery is solved! Thank you, Annette! "I believe that the reason they are on the Winter Quarters information is because their daughter Sarah's husband (John Boylston Fairbanks) wrote in his journal that he helped bury her parents, Halmagh and Mary Van Wagoner as well as his father, Joseph Fairbanks, while at Winter Quarters. So when my grandfather and his sons made the memorial, of course they put the names of their ancestors on it. It was very touching to them. -- Annette Fairbanks
