Tom's Section
My section focuses on the descendants of the Van Borculos that migrated west in the 1790s. They came down the Ohio River and settled on the frontier of what would become western Kentucky. From there the family branched out across the midwest.
Isaac Daniel van Burklelow first appears in western Kentucky records around 1800. There is still some debate about who his father and grandfather were.
The page is a work in progress. The Database is just now being created and checked. It will grow as time goes on.
