General Notes: Husband - Daniel Van Voorhis


He was for awhile a student in Washington College; made a special study of surveying, which he practiced as a part of his business. He was a large full-blooded specimen of the Holland race, and possessed a mind of no ordinary caste. He was said to be more the image of his grandfather, Captain Van Voorhis, than any of the name in the country. He was a member of the original Ringold Cavalry and had rather a taste for military life.
