This Joseph & 2 others, also denoted by * in their names, have been extensively researched by the PA genealogy society. However, the ages of Joseph and Mary conflict with the children's birthdates, making the parents much too old, unless Mary was considerably younger than Joseph and they married much later.

The names of his children were supplied by Chancery Records.

Residences & events in the life of Joseph Van Gundy:

1785 Northumberland Co, PA. He was assessed 5.0s in taxes for 300 acres as a non-resident of the county.

1786 Again as a non-resident his taxes for 200 acres was 3.4. Apparently the tax assessor missed 100 acres as the next year it was back to 300.

1787 Still a non-resident his 300 acres were assessed at 6.8.

1790 Buffalo Twp, Northumberland Co, PA. In the census, his household consisted of 1 male over 16, 3 males under 16, and 2 females, some probably were relatives rather than his own children. Next door was Christian Vangunday.

6/28/1792 He warranteed 2 tracts of land, one of 125 acres, the other with 150.

3/1/1793 & 3/14/1793 He obtained warrants for 2 tracts of land containing 400 acres each. Under the name of Joseph Gundy, he conveyed one tract to his brother, John Gundy, by deed dated 5/25/1799, and the property was patented to John by the Commonwealth of PA, 5/30/1803. On 7/2/1804, this same tract was sold by John and his wife, Polly.

1798 The Federal Tax Assessment shows Joseph was owner of the above as well as another tract in White Deer Twp.

He got warrants for several other pieces of property in Northumberland but no records have been found to show he ever patented any of them. He had 408 acres warranted in W. Buffalo Twp but sold or assigned it to a Mr. Gray and Mr. Hayes.

10/28/1799 Ross Co, OH. On this date he gave a promissory note to Samuel Hornback but when he became delinquent on the note, Hornbeck sued him. The suit date was 8/1803.

4/15/1805 Joseph entered the SW 1/4, Sect 11 Twp 8 Rg 21. Following the precident set in PA, he assigned the land to brother, John Van Gundy, who patented the land and with his wife, Polly, sold it in 1830 because they lived in Indiana by then.

1820 Spring Twp, Ross Co, OH. Joseph, 2 Johns, Cornelius, and a Famey (?) were living near to each other according to the census.

1832 Crawford Co, OH. Joseph and wife, Mary, sold land there.

No grave has ever been found for either Joseph or Mary.

Mary (Van Gundy) was born about 1769 in PA. She died in 1840/1850. She married Joseph * Van Gundy about 1789.
