He was married to *Eva Antonise Jansen about 1660 in New York. From "Famous Families of New York" by Margherita Arlina Hamm, pages 227-235:

"In Holland, the family belonged to the agricultural class, and held many positions indicative of importance in the State. they were Syndics, Burgomasters, elders and deacons, lieutenants and captains, merchants and divines. Anthony van Sicklen was one of the Protestants who emigrated from Catholic Belgium (from Ghent), in 1566, to Protestant Holland, where he became a Councillor from the province of Zeeland, representing that province and signing the Pacification of Ghent, with William the Silent and the other Dutch representatives....

The founder [of American branch of the family] was Ferdinandus (1635), who at the age of seventeen came to New Amsterdam, where he stayed a year or more, and then settled in Flatlands, Long Island. Here he soon had a large farm, and was doing a profitable business with Brooklyn and New Amsterdam. He married Eva Antonise Jansen, by whom he had three sons and five daughters. These children were strong and sturdy and must have been of invaluable service to their parents. In the dutch families at that time the boys aided the father upon the land and with the live stock, while the girls helped the mother in the care of the house, the management of the poultry-yard and dairy, and in spinning, weaving, and dyeing.

The father of Eva, the wife of Ferdinandus, was Antony Jansen, known as Antony Jansen van Salee, and sometimes as Antony Jansen van Fez, from his having lived for some time in Morocco at the cities of Salee and Fez: he had carried out practically the motto of his Beggars' Badge: "Liver Turc dan Paus," (literally, "Rather Turk than Papist"), becoming a freebooter and capturing Spanish and other Catholic ships. This Beggars' Badge, which is in the possession of Mr. George W. van Siclen, was one of the most famous coins or badges of Europe, being in the shape of a crescent, and having on the obverse the other motto: "En tout fidelle au Roi" (In all things faithful to the king). this was the motto of the Dutch Protestants who rebelled against the Spanish Inquisition, yet claimed to remain faithful to Philip II. The crescent was the badge of the "Beggars of the Sea", while the badge of the "Gueux" or Beggars of the Land had for motto, "En tout fidele au roi jusqu'a porter la besace" (In all things faithful to the king, even to carrying a beggar's sack), because a Spanish count, when Brederode and the Dutch nobles came to King Philip's representative with a petition against the Inquisition, said, scornfully: "Here come those beggars." The latter badge had the portrait of Philip II, on one side, and on the reverse a beggar's sack with two hands clasped through the strap, and pendant from the sides of the metal badge two metal gourds or bottles, and from the bottom, a cup; at Mr. van Sicklen's suggestion this was adopted as the badge of the Holland Society of New York, and is made by Tiffany from a model sent by the Numismatic Society of Amsterdam. Antony Jansen van Salee was called "The Turk", and received from Governor William Kieft a grant of land where Bensonhurst now stands; it is known to this day in the abstracts of title as "The Turk's Plantation"....

From Ferdinandus (1635) and his wife Eva are descended all the Van Siclens in America. Before 1566, the Van Sicklen family were living in Ghent continuously from A.D. 1338, and prior, often serving as 'echevins', or members of the city council. George van Sicklen was abbot of St. Bavon, A.D. 1405. The family were Normans and came to Ghent from Amiens. A stone residence is standing in Ghent to-day (1902) which was standing there in A.D. 1338, and is always has been known as "De Groote Sickele" and "La Grande Faucille," belonging to the Van Sicklen family; it has lately been purchased by the municipality of Ghent and is to be used as a museum of antiquities; it is built of rough-hewn stone, "Belgian pavement," and is about one hundred feet square.

Not far from the Van Siclen homestead (near Van Siclen Station on the Brooklyn Elevated) was the settlement of the Canarsie Indians, who proved kind neighbors, and a warm friendship sprang up between them and the family. The children used the camp as a playground, and picked up a knowledge of the Indian tongue. This idle accomplishment had singular consequences. In each generation during the following century at least one Van Siclen was the official interpreter of the Dutch, and afterwards of the British government. Several of them became so much attached to the redmen that they left their homes and lived with and ruled the latter. One of them, tradition says, became a titular chief, and transmitted his complimentary title through several generations."
Children were: *Reinier Ferdinandese VanSicklen , Margrietje Or Grietje VanSicklen, Eva VanSicklen, Johannes VanSicklen, Jannetje VanSicklen, Ferdinandus , Jr. VanSicklen , Cornelia VanSicklen, Susanna VanSicklen.

He was married to *Mary Laan VanPelt about 1708 in New York. From "Early Settlers of Long Island", p. 361-362:

"Fernandus Reinierse of Gravesend and New Jersey, married Mary or Maria Laan; died prior to 1767. Inherited the homestead in Gravesend from his father. In 1736 he bought 200 acres of Lawrence Haff on Holland Creek in Hunterdon County, New Jersey. In 1718 he resided at Arenten, Hunterdon County, New Jersey. Will dated April 28 1749, and not recorded." Children were: Mary VanSicklen, Jannetje VanSicklen, Eva VanSicklen, Reinier VanSicklen, Gysbert VanSicklen, Johannes VanSicklen, Arie Or Aaron VanSicklen, Catharine VanSicklen , *Cornelius VanSicklen.

She was married to *Samuel Linington on 14 Nov 1769 in Poughkeepsie, New York. From "Eighteenth Century Records of the Original Town of Fishkill, Dutchess Co, NY (Rombout Pct)", by William Willis Reese, Collections of Dutchess County Historical Society, Vol VI, 1938:

"After the War of the Revolution the precincts were done away with in Dutchess and towns were laid out. Under that arrangement Rombout Precinct became in 1788 the Town of Fishkill. Later still the Town of Fishkill was sub-divided. Set off from Fishkill in 1821 was the west half of the Town of LaGrange; in 1849 the Town of East Fishkill; and in 1875 the Town of Wappinger. Thus the historical material incorporated in these pages bears upon the present Towns of Fishkill, East Fishkill and Wappinger and to half of the Town of La Grange."

Samuel Linnington is shown in the tax lists for Rombout Preceint, 1773-1775, and 1777. The Estate of Samuel Linnington is shown in 1778.

The other shows a Michael Schauer or Shower, born Aug. 17, 1726 at Schoharie, Albany County, New York, son of Johan Hans Michael Schauer and Elizabeth Catherina Laux or Lauk.


From "Twelve Families..An American Experience", by William F. O'Dell, 1981:

"John Aikman... in 1783 met Hannah Showers. Only a few years earlier Hannah Showers had been living in the Wyoming Valley in Pennsylvania, two miles north of Wilkes-Barre, when the Revolutionary War startled the family with a vengeance. Hannah's father was Michael Showers, a highly successful farmer. The home was located on the east bank of the Susquehanna River. Michael and his two oldest sons had already joined Butler's Rangers. On this particular day his daughter Hannah, 12 years old, was playing near the River with some of her brothers and sisters. Suddenly her mother and sister Sarah came running madly toward them, shouting for them to run to their river landing and get into the boats. 'They are coming, and they are destroying everything' screamed Hannah's mother. A neighbor had just warned them that some members of the Continental Army were nearing the farm and laying waste to everything in their path. Hannah's mother grabbed an apron as she ran from the house, all she could lay her hands on. The dinner was left on the stove, the cattle and sheep in the barnyard, and the horses in the stable.

Other Loyalists also scrambled into their boats, and they rowed upstream on the Susquehanna River, hoping to reach New York State before they were overtaken by the Revolutionaries. New York State was some 50 miles away, and here they could enlist the protection of other Loyalists. But Loyalists in New York were also in deep trouble, so the Showers family and others kept moving northward. They soon ran out of what meager food supplies had been collected before leaving their homes back on the Susquehanna. As they moved north the weather turned cold, and shivered during the nights when they lacked sufficient clothing.

The Showers family finally reached Lachine in Quebec, Canada, where they were billeted by the government. They were provided with scanty rations and some clothing. ...

That fall, some six months after leaving their Pennsylvania farm home, they were ordered to proceed to Fort Niagara, in their open boats. The route was dangerous and they traveled mostly by night, lying in wait for hours during the daytime. At times the younger children became so famished that several mothers considered killing their dogs in order to provide food. However, friendly Indians gave them black bean bread and berries that lasted until the party was met by British soldiers out of Fort Niagara. They were then convoyed to the Fort.

The relief brought about by the comparative safety of Fort Niagara was virtually without limit. Families greeted each other with emotional embraces. But, once again the families were billeted out, and Hannah was assigned to the home of Col. John Butler of Ranger fame. Col. and Mrs. Butler, childless, sought to adopt Hannah, but her mother refused.

Never again did the Showers family see their beautiful farm in the Wyoming Valley along the Susquehanna River in Pennsylvania. The property was confiscated and no compensation was ever forthcoming. Michael Showers was the first Loyalist to be offically allowed to cross from Fort Niagara into Canada to farm. At the close of the war, the family moved to West Flamborough in Ancaster Township, Wentworth County, on Michael's grants of lots 12 and 13, Concession 1. He lived there until his death in 1796. In the will in which he left his estate to his wife, the last sentence read: 'I would wish the children to have learning to read and write.'

...Wolves and deer frequented the grassy plains nearby. "




From "The Loyalists in Ontario", by William D. Reid, 1973:

"In 1774 he resided in what is now Bradford County, Pa. He died in Wentworth Co., Ont., in 1796."



From "Loyalist Narratives from Upper Canada", by James J. Talman, 1946, p. xl:

"The first Loyalist settler in Upper Canada may have been Michael Showers. On May 30, 1781, Captain Walter Butler reported from Niagara that 'an old man in the Rangers named Michael Showers' had been permitted, although still fit for service, to build himself a house, and had begun planting and 'Commencing Farmer'. At the same time, Butler sought permission to have Showers's family brought to Niagara from Machiche [Lachine]. He added that four sick Rangers, namely Philip Burt, James Crowder, Jacob Van Alstyne, and Jacob Augustine were also available as settlers; but that a smith would be required for mending and making ploughshares, hoes, and axes.'"
