About Lt. Samuel Vanhook, Jr.

Samuel VanHook went with Daniel Boone into Kentucky.

see..... http://www.vanhook.us/stories/SamuelNC.htm for the whole story of Samuel VanHook. An excerpt follows:

Samuel VanHook was born 15 November 1733 in Monmouth County, New Jersey. He was the son of Henry (Hendrick) VanHook and Deborah Parent. When Samuel was 16, his father died and left a will naming him, his brothers and his mother Deborah. No definite proof of Samuel’s parentage is known, but circumstantial evidence (dates, locations, geographic and family associations, etc.) points to this connection.

In the early 1750’s, Samuel migrated with his uncle Aaron VanHook to Orange County, North Carolina and settled there for the next 25 years or so. In 1768 he purchased land located on the “middle fork of the Little River” in what became Caswell County, North Carolina in 1777.

In the spring of 1779, Samuel and his family migrated to central Kentucky and settled near the Licking River just north of present day Cynthiana, Kentucky. He lived first at Ruddle’s Station (an early fortified “station” on the Licking), then the following winter moved upstream to Martin’s Station. Samuel’s first wife was killed there by Indians in March of 1780. In June of 1780, Samuel and his family was captured by the British and Indians and carried off to Detroit as prisoners.

Released from captivity in the late summer of 1784, Samuel settled again in central Kentucky – in the area that became Bourbon County in 1786. Shortly after his return to Kentucky, Samuel married Margaret Williams, a widow and mother of Ellison E. Williams. By 1795, he was living in Campbell County, Kentucky, where he died sometime after 1809.

Henry [Hendrick] Van Hook b. 19 Feb 1701 in Albany, Ny who married Deborah Parent. Their son, Samuel b. 15 November 1733, married Hannah Higgins. Unfortunately Hannah was killed and scalped. Samuel and Benjamin had been captured and were taken to Detroit by Indians and remained there for 4 years and 2 months. When Samuel and Benjamin returned he discovered she had been killed. He remarried to a widow, "Hannah" Wilson Williams. This info is in Collins HISTORY OF KY, according to a Dorris Easley Estes in her book, Joseph Whiteley, Sr., of Whitehaven, England and His American Descendants.
