Notes

There is a claim that Absolom did not return to Magdalena and family following the War of 1812, but abandoned them and started a new family in western PA. One of Absolom's sons, Jacob H., stated that his father had sold his NJ land for a coal mine in western PA, above Pittsburg. Perhaps so, however these people were known as Van Aukers for some reason.

His last child by Magdalena, Jacob H. was born in 1810. The first one recorded with Ruth Barns, Martha, was born in 1832. For a man who had 9 children by his first wife, it does not seem likely that he would not have sired any between Jacob H. (1810) and Martha (1832) at which time he would have been 67 years old.

Absolum is next found in western PA where he married Ruth Barnes and had three children by her. He is thought to have died in 1837.
