The DAR Lineage Book of 1912 says that Sarah Van Sickles was the wife of a man named Thomas Lenington. It says this Thomas Lenington's parents were Ensign Thomas Lenington and his wife Sarah Sickerton. This is an error. The children of Ensign Thomas and Sarah are known and there is no Thomas among them.One person who has done extensive research on the Lenington family (Martin Burke) suggests that Ensign Thomas's father, also named Thomas, might possibly have taken Sarah Van Sickles as his second wife. If this marriage did occur, there is no evidence that the couple had any children. |

The 1820 US Census lists a Sarah Van Sicklin as head of household in Poughkeepsie, NY. In addition to her, the household included 3 males under 10, 1 female 10-15, and 1 female 26-44. There is no evidence that links this Sarah Van Sicklin to the Sarah Van Sickles who has been supposed to be the second wife of Thomas Lenington (1723-1754) after the death of Phoebe Southard Lenington. It is nonetheless an interesting possibility. |
