Chances are the native heritage of this family is Mohican-Wappinger.I discovered that Matthew Van Gilder Jr., grandson of the Mohican-Wappinger man John Van Gilder, moved to Genesse County, New York.He married Ruth Johnson August 1790.Their known children were:John, Ruth, Horace, Truman, Abigail, Rhoda, Jeremiah, and Sarah.Matthew Jr. had either an uncle or a cousin who served in the American Revolution who died in Indiana, so the Van Gilders moved around.
