Biography

Birth9 September 1757John D. Disbrow was born on 9 September 1757 in South Amboy, Middlesex County, New Jersey.
Research Note17701770 Sayreville, Middlesex County, New Jersey. History of Middlesex County lists early Sayreville families as Disbrow, Price, Letts, Morgan, Peterson, Applegate.1
Marriage1 April 1780He and Susannah Morgan were married on 1 April 1780 in Middlesex County, New Jersey, In Susannah's pension application she brought Mary Hillyer before Judge Jacob Van Wickle, 14 Sep 1836, to testify that she was a bridesmaid at their marriage on 1 Apr 1780, by the Rev. Benjamin Dubois.2
Church AffiliationJohn was affiliated with the Baptist church, in Middletown, Middlesex County, New Jersey,based on naming. 20This is based on his naming the Baptist pastor James Goble as old friend and pastor, in his will. Also, the History of Monmouth County (Ellis, 1885) on p. 834 states that early Baptist meetings, in the 1830's, were sometimes held at the residence of Mr. John Disbrow, grandfather of Marshal John N. Disbrow. John N. was a grandson of John D. Disbrow, so this reference is to his home.

Biography

Marriageabout 1826James Vanderhoef and Alice J ("Elsie") Disbrow were married about 1826 in Middlesex County, New Jersey, The name James was provided in the marriage record of their son Theodore, in Massachusetts in 1850.
Census1830He appeared in the census 1830 in Middletown, Middlesex County, Connecticut. James is listed as: 1 male under 5
1 male 5 and under 10
1 male 20 and under 30
1 male 40 and under 50
1 female under 5
1 female 20 and under 30

Could be Orin Jerome (1827), Theodore M (1826), perhaps a father or uncle, but the female under 5 is confusing. That should be someone born 1826-1830. Catherine Ann was born 1821 and would have been 9. Amanda Susan was born 1831, after this census.

Other Vanderhoof's in Middletown in 1830 were:

There are a number of inaccuracies here, due evidently to confusion of the informant. The informant, Mrs. Seth Borden, was her daughter from her first marriage, Susan Benjamin Gibbs Borden. She could not accurately name her grandparents. She lists Amanda's brother Theodore as her father, Amanda's father was James Vanderhoef. She lists Elsie Morgan as Amanda's mother, her mother was Alice (Elsie) Disbrow Vanderhoef Letts. Susan Borden was born in 1855, and James Vanderhoef died before 1840.
