Biography

This profile is part of the Van Orden Name Study.

Margaret and her husband, William Howe, had 6 children; Daniel, Matthew, Elizabeth, George, William, and Peter

Margaretgen was born about 1752^[1]. She was christened in a Lutheran church in New York, New York in 1752.^[2] Another record states that it took place in Hackensack, New Jersey.^[3][4] Another church record shows her born 19 Jan 1752 and Baptized 9 Feb 1752 in Schraalenburgh, Bergen, New Jersey with parents Matens Van Orden and Elizabeth Rutan.^[5] I believe this is most likely the correct record.

She is buried in Kingston, Ontario.^[6]

The original christening record needs to be looked at for accuracy.
