020915 - 022352 JVANI TLVDSR Bullock will
Terry.  I found the copy of Richard Bullock will dated Oct 27 1764.  Originally I found the will listed in "Histories and Genealogy of Old Granville Co NC 1746-1800.   It is a book that I do not have, but may find a complete copy of the book someday.  Also have a book "Colonial Granville county and it's People by Worth S Ray.  It lists Henry Vandyck 
and Ann Bullock. If you would send me the word processor program you use, I can scan a copy of the Bullock will and the additional info from the Old Granville co.  (I use Appleworks 6 on a Macintosh) but could save it in the correct format for you.  It also lists a Lydda Vandyke June 1778 on her death bed leaves all she has to a daughter Caterine  Cannon. I recall reading about a Lydda (or Lydia or widow) and her son Henry coming to NC from PA.  I rather think this could be a connection.  Possible Henry's mother, but that is a real guess.  I am not sure if Henry was in NC or if he came to NC from VA with the Richard Bullock family.  Not all we find is true information.    I can't believe there isn't a will for Henry and Amy Van Dyck some where!  Jack

Hi Terry,  I  checked out your webpage of Vandyke family data, and I note that we have some differing information on the children of Henry Vandyke of Lunenburg.  You show five children of Henry Vandyke and Amy Freeman.  I show Henry with those same five children, but that three of them (John, David and Ann) were with Ann Bullock and two (Freeman  and Henry) were with Amy Freeman.  See the following:
Granville County North Carolina Records - 1750-1761, p 199. = Deed of Gift 25 Sept 1758, Richard Bullock of Granville County and Henry VanDyche of Lunenburg County in Virginia, conveys for love and affection to grandchildren of the former and the children of the latter, viz. John, David and Anne VanDyck negro woman Hannah, and negro girls Dill and Amia, to be divided between them when John becomes 21 year of age in 1770.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Will of Richard Bullock = 27 Oct 1764 - proved by Nov. Court 1766 on oath of Julia Howard and Philemon Hawkins, Jno. Benton, C. C., executor qualified. 
Richard Bullock wills to have all debts and funeral expenses paid; to daughter Sarah Sims, one shilling; to Henry Vandyke, one shilling; to daughter Agnes Williams, one shilling; to son Zachariah Bullock, one shilling; to son John Bullock, one shilling; to son William Bullock, one shilling; to granddaughter Susannah Sims, one shilling to granddaughter Ann Vandyke, a feather bed and furniture; to daughter Agatha Nicholls, a feather bed and furniture; to grandson Zachariah Nicholls, a feather bed and furniture; m land on Ellibies Creek in Orange County to be sold and money therefrom to pay my debts; to my wife the land I live on and all else for her lifetime and then all remaining to my sons Leonard Henley Bullock and Nathaniel Bullock.  Executors, my son Leonard Henley Bullock and my wife Ann Hendley.  Wts. Philemon Hawkins, William Shaw, Julia Howard.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I see that you show that Henry was born in VA abt 1725.  I strongly believe that Henry Vandyke of Lunenburg is the son David Van Dyck and Christina Ten Broeck of Albany, New York. No proof, but much circumstantial evidence.  The family names are similar and the age is right.  The Van Dycks were prominent in New York, and each of the children's births and deaths were records, except that only Henry's birth, and not his death is recorded.  Henry disappears from public records in New York about the time that Henry of Lunenburg, VA appears. (Interestingly, Henry of New York's last appearance there was in Loonenburg Parish in New York).  Henry of Lunenburg, VA seems to come from nowhere -  no other Vandykes appear in VA until many years later. 
I have done quite a bit of research on the New York Van Dycks, trying to work forward to see if there is a clue that leads that direction to our Henry, but have found nothing other than interesting coincidences so far.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am not aware of a will for Henry Vandyke of Lunenburg County, VA, and have assumed that he died intestate. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm interested that you show Henry Vandyke (son of Freeman) with a middle name of Charles.  I have always seen it as Henry C. Vandyke, but never knew the middle name.  What is your source for that?  Interesting trivia - my mother has this Henry's dresser in her home, purchased circa 1830. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would be happy to share any info that I have.  I have extensive information on the descendants of Freeman Vandyke.  Let me know if you have questions.  Brian Bivona Waco, Texas

Hi Bob <Bob~VanDyke.net>, I know your area of research is with the NC Van Dyke's.  I hope that you provide some leads to the following.  Have been researching a potential connection with John Vandike family line of Tazwell Co Tazwell VA and Henry VanDyck of Lunenburg VA.   Have you any data on a Henry VanDyck (Van Dyke) of Lunenburg VA and or Granville Co NC.  The dates of concern is with the mid 1750s to late 1760s as extrapolated from an email received listed below.  The interesting aspects for me is the potential connection with the NC Van Dyke, VanDyck's ect.  Thank you New Begining ~ Van Dyke ~ Family Journal

020915 - 112312 JVANI TLVDSR Henry VanDyck Lunenburg VA Granville Co NC
Terry,  Nice to hear from you.  I agree, that Henry Vandyck of Granville and Lunenburg could be the decendents of  of your John Van Dike of Tazwell.  John's approx birthdate of 1749-50 is a good clue.  Plus, he doesn't show up in 
Lunenburg nor have I ever found any further record of him in Granville.  I don't know when your John showed up in Tazwell, but if it was abt 1770, that would be when our John reached adulthood.  In the Richard Bullock will John was 
to inherit somethings when he reached age.  I quickly looked for the will of Richard Bullock, but can't find it right now.  I have read it before and it mentions Henry, John, Ann, and David.  When I locate it I will send you a copy.  I also, believe that Henry VanDyck of Lunenburg had another son named Henry (no further records of  him).  I am thinking that Freeman and Henry were full brothers and John, Ann, and David half brothers/sister.  (Our old ancestors from Tennessee mention a rich Uncle Henry of Freeman Vandyke's.  I think David had a daughter named Patsy Vaughan Van Dyke who married a Johnson in early 1800's.  David was married to Martha.  I suspect Martha's name was Vaughan.  Patsy is a short name for Martha. I have never found a will for Henry or Amy Vandyck.  We think Amy died abt 1786 and Henry probably 1794.  1794/1795 is the approx time my Freeman shows up in Tenn, alto he was in NC just before 
that.  We also are inclined to believe Henry Van Dyck is the son of David and Christina Ten Brooke  VanDyck of Albany NY. Everyone is trying to prove that with very little success. I will share what information I have, so keep in 
touch. We live in Iowa.  Jack <jvani~pcpartner.net>

Sarah (Sally) Van Dyke was an older sister to Richard Wilson Van Dyke from whom I am descended. I have a lot of information on that branch but do not have much information about the rest of the family. Contact me at vandykelp~worldnet.att.net. I would like to know what we might have in common and see if we can share some resources.

Sarah (Sally) Vandyke was actually a half-sister to Richard Wilson Vandyke (1812-1873). She was a daughter of Freeman Vandyke (abt 1762-April 1830) and his first wife. Richard Wilson Vandyke was a son of Freeman and his second wife, Mary Whittle. Freeman was the son of Henry Vandyke (abt 1725-abt 1795) of Lunenburg County, Virginia and his second wife, Amy Freeman. More info on my website at http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~bbivona/main.htm
I am descended from Richard Wilson Vandyke's older brother, Henry C. Vandyke (1800-1884) of Jefferson County, TN and wife Lucy Gail Cate.  I'd love to share information with you.
