Concerning the Van Bunschoten or Van Benschoten family in America: a ...
By William Henry Van Benschoten
1545. IX. ANTHONY V.B. m. in the Delaware Valley, Margaret Decker, b. in 1750, bp. Apr. 14, 1754, at Minnisink, dau. of Solomon Decker and Lena Quick. Solomon was b. at Catsbaan, now Saugerties, and Lena at Metschepekonk; they were m. at Mahackemack, June 8, 1745. According to tradition in the family Anthony and Margaret early passed over into the Susquehanna Valley, and were living above Wilkes Barre at the time of the Wyoming Massacre in 1778. While he, it is said, was helping fight the British and the Seneca Indians, Margaret took her small children and fled on horse-back to a place of safety. Thereafter her brother Isaac, so the story runs, vowed vengeance on the savages and long he camped in the woods and shot every redskin he caught sight of. Anthony used to carry his brother-in-law provisions, and frequently when depositing these at an appointed spot would find the carcass of a deer hanging there in return. Anthony and Margaret must have returned from time to time to Minnisink, since four of their children were baptized there, the latest in 1788. The first and only authentic appearance we have of Anthony in the Susquehanna Valley is found in Stewart Pearce's Annals, wherein "Anthonay Benschoter" is recorded on the first assessment roll of the settlers of Pittston taken in 1796. Until 1806 Anthony and all his family excepting Cornelius, tarried in that general region; in that year he migrated to Allegany Co., N. Y., whither his son Cornelius had preceded him. Here he acquired a large tract of land in the Canaseraga Valley at "Pogue's Hole" or "Rush Bottom," where he lived ever after.
Anthony has been described as a rather short, heavy-set man; as very industrious and of few words. He was by nature quiet, and when Margaret who, it is said, was something of a scold would "get to going" he would simply hold his peace and take himself out of hearing. Mrs Whiting recalled going over with her father Cornelius to see her grandfather once when he was winnowing by hand. He used a large willow screen close-woven and much in shape like a gigantic dust-pan. With this he tossed the grain up and the wind bore off the chaff and dust. Another memory of her's was the prolonged resentment of her grandmother Margaret when the highway was changed from the elevated ground above the house to the flats below and so made to pass by her kitchen door.
Anthony d. in 1824, Margaret in 1830.
