Aaron Van Scyoc

1792 - 1871  (78 years)

• Name	Aaron Van Scyoc
  	The name is Dutch and was originally Van Schiac.
  Born	20 Aug 1792	Franklin Co. PA
  Gender	Male
  Died	ca 1871	Hastings, Wetzel Co. WV
  	Another sources has his POD as Marshall Co. WV
  Notes	Some researchers have him as the husband of Oceana, but his DOB AND the Serena's DOB about 1837 are too late to be Oceana's. I think it is more likely that Aaron married a daughter or granddaughter of Oceana. Serena's mother was named Mary according to her marriage record and Aaron married Margaret Blake in 1843 and fathered at least 7 children. Was Mary and/or Margaret Blake a descendant of the Cornstalk clan? Here is where DNA testing may provide direction, as the census records and vital records may be at odds with oral tradition.
