Dear Karen,
My wife is researching her Vanluven family. Your Benjamin Vanluven who married Sarah Widdifield is a brother to my wife's great grandfather, Elijah VanLuven. This is what we have,
Benjamin Vanluven born: 1 Jan. 1820died: 16 April 1864
marr: Sarah E. Widdifield born: 5 Feb. 1824 died 27 May 1913. Married on 26 Dec. 1843 in Whitby, Ontario, Canada.
children;
1. Henrietta Vanluven 1846-?
2. Elizabeth b. 21 Sept.1849 in Uxbridge, Ontario, Canada
d. 15 Oct. 1943 in Scottville, MI. USA
married: George William Searle, Jr.
b. 10 June 1847d. 6 June 1868
3. Hy VanLuven 1852-?
4. Harriet VanLuven 1856-?
The parents of Benjamin VanLuven were; Benjamin VanLuven and Jane Galloway. Their children were;
1. Matthew VanLuven
2. Benjamin Vanluven (your tree)
3. Elijah VanLuven (my wife's tree)
4. Louis VanLuven
5. Louisa VanLuven
6. Laura VanLuven
7. George VanLuven
I'm afraid that I do not have any information on Sarah, but I do have lots of information on the VanLuven tree. I you wish to share information, that would be great and would fill in the blanks on both trees. Hope to hear from you soon.
