I have been searching for info on the Wisconsin/Iowa Vanderbilts for years. I understand about the trail going cold when we reach Henry Vanderbilt. He was my mother's father's mother's father! My grandfather was Edward LeRoy Dikeman; his mother was Jane Vanderbilt; her father was Henry (C.) Vanderbilt of Galen, Wayne Co, NY who lived in Lynxville, Crawford Co, WI. I have hired a researcher in Wayne Co. NY and she has been unable to find any public record of Henry. She prepared a very interesting report on the family for me. It appears that Henry was the son of Thomas, but nothing can prove it.
I would love to hear from any of the people related to Henry.
I'd also love info on John Vanderbilt of Lynxville who I believe was Henry's brother.
