Samuel Ryker son of Gerardus Ryker Jr.
I am a descendant of Abraham Rycker,my grandmother was Martha Wheat daughter of David and Rachel(Ryker)Wheat, she was the daughter of Samuel Ryker and Elinor Bergen. Could anyone explain why Elinor Bergen is named as the daughter of Christopher G. and Anna Vanosdol? When Samuel died she married Garrett Conover Bergen, son of George and Margaret Bergen.I am a DAR member here in Springfield, Mo. and my 3rd cousin on the Wheat side went into the DAR in 1977 on George Bergen Jr. and I would like to use him as a supplement ancestor.I would appreciate any help on figuring out the Bergen Genealogy of this family.I have the book written by Franklin Ryker.Please e-mail me at [email protected]
