Research Notes

Martin Van Reisingen was one of the sons of Joannes anglicized to John in the U.S. Van Rijsingen (dutch spelling], Americanized to Van Reisingen, Joannes Van Rijsingen was born in Uden, Noord Brabant, Netherlands. He was the husband of Antonia van der Wijst [Dutch spelling] anglicized to VanderWyst. Martin's father, John was drafted, and served in the Wisconsin Civil War. Unknown why he was drafted, because he had many children at the time. He was by occupation, a tailor. He did not bring his family with him. He rode on horseback to the Peshtigo area in hopes of establishing a tailoring business. As to the contribution by a Van Ryzin descendent, the surname was NEVER Van Rijsen. He appears in the 1860 U. S. Federal Census in Appleton, Outagamie County, WI., where he is listed as a tailor, living in Appleton, Outagamie County, WI. The family was living on College Ave. For some unknown reason, not all of the children born to him were listed. He has a birth record, and his mother was Joanna van Rijsingen. He was one of three children, and the only one who emigrated to the U. S. and settled in Outagamie County, WI^[9]
