While in the Harbor they worked on ships and learned the craft of carpentry. While here, they married into the Estell family, the Brooks family and the Vangilder family. I found a few scraps of info on them while here including being on the books of Constant Sommers day records in the 1790's. They attended the Head of the River Church and one daughter (Martha Knowles Estell) is buried in an unmarked grave of the cemetery. If anyone has more records on this family, I would love to know about it. Sounds like this area in the 1790's was beautiful and I'm sure it was very active. Happy Hunting everyone!Lisa Knowles Maciaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08243191871660715034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026117493474575058.post-26323434194202131982018-01-28T21:39:23.287-08:002018-01-28T21:39:23.287-08:00Looking for info on Christopher Van Sant who had a...Looking for info on Christopher Van Sant who had a shipyard on Patcong Creek.
