     Samuel was born. He First Settlers, pp 382, 418:

The children listed are definitely those of Samuel Van Sickle. The question raised by Littell is: Is this the sam Mr Van Sickle who married Sarah Thompson? Another is: Is the daughter Elizabeth of Samuel Van Sickle the same as she who married Jacob Britton, the daughter of Sarah Thompson Van Sickle? See Littell's question below. This is the only place he questions the connection in the three places where it is addressed.

p 382:

"SAMUEL VAN SICKLE lived in Sterling Valley, a little east of William High's house; he had a brother, David Van Sickle, who married Elizabeth, the widow of Moses Bedell, and daughter of David Littell. ...
SAMUEL VAN SICKLE had children:

1. Zachariah, who married, 30th Oct. 1763, Mary Littell, born 4th March, 1749, daughter of Andrew Littell, a grandson of Samuel 1st.

2. John.

3. Anthony.

4. Elizabeth. (Is not this Elizabeth the wife of Jacob Britton.)

5. Christian.

6. Caty, who married Jabez Clark, son of Daniel [hence half-brother to THOMAS PARROTT m ROSANNAH RUTAN] ..."

     Elizabeth Sickle There is no doubt that Sarah Thompson and Mr Van Sickle had a daughter Elizabeth. There is no doubt that she is the same Elizabeth that married Jacob Britton. The question is: Is she the daughter of Samuel Van Sickle, as suggested by Littell in First Settlers, p 382?

No, she is not.

Elizabeth is the daughter of Abrahm van Sickle. Elizabeth was born circa 1756.^2,3 She was listed as a ward at Morris, New Jersey, USA, on 29 November 1762.⁴ She was guardianship on 12 April 1770 at Morris, New Jersey, USA; apparently at age 14, children chose own guardian; ABRAHAM RUTAN is bondsman.⁵ She married Jacob Brittin (Britton) at New Providence Church, New Providence, Essex, New Jersey, USA, on 3 March 1774.^6,7 As of circa 19 August 1784,her married name was Miller.⁸ She married Jonathan Miller circa 19 August 1784.⁸ Elizabeth died on 15 July 1795 at Long Hill, Morris, New Jersey, USA.⁹

     (?) was born. He We note that both of Sarah Thompson's other husbands lived in Long Hill. It would not be surprising if "Mr Rutan" did also, or nearby. This fits our New Providence Rutans. See Peter Rutan Jr for a possible match.

     Peter was born.¹ He First Settlers, p 414:

Sarah [Thompson, daughter of John] married 1st, Mr. Van Sickle, of Long Hill, and had a daughter, Elizabeth, who married Jacob Britton, son of William. ... Sarah married 2d. Mr. Rutan, who had a son, Peter, who lived in Albany, N. Y. She married 3d, James Enos, or Innes, of Long Hill."

Although Littell repeats this in two places (pp 382, 414), he never says that the Peter Rutan is our PETER RUTAN. It is tempting to think so, but the timings are wrong, among other problems.

Sarah Thompson probably lived something like 1724-1800 (very roughly). Her dates are deduced from brother Thomas's 1712-1803 and sister Betsey's c 1729-1794.
