Hello,

Doing some transcribing for Jefferson County, Iowa and this piece was part of
it. I have more on the Van Nostrand family that I transcribed if anyone is
interested. There are other families also from Jefferson County included.

The piece below did not say it was a "Portrait and Biographical Album" of
Jefferson County, Iowa.


Page 473, Portrait & Biographical Album, Pub. 1890.
JOHN VAN NOSTRAND was born 1 Sept. 1800 in Westmoreland County, Penn. In
Ashland County, Ohio, he married MISS. ELIZA GRIBBEN, native of Penn., but of
Irish descent, her parents having been born in Ireland. His death occurred on
the 6th of April 1859 after an eight-years' residence in Iowa. His wife was
called home about three years previous, dying in November 1855, at the age of 54
years. They had four sons and three daughters, but only three are now living:
WILLIAM, a resident farmer of Decatur County, Iowa; AMANDA, wife of JOHN
BIRKHIMER, whose home is in Fremont County, Iowa; CLARK VAN NOSTRAND, Sec. 18,
Buchanan Twp., Jefferson Co., was born in Ashland County, Ohio, Jan. 12, 1831;
married, 23 April 1859, MISS SARAH WHITING. Their children: EMMA, married
BENJAMIN L. GOSSICK, farmer of Buchanan Township; ANDREW B., Colorado; and LEWIS
W. at home.
