I am not sure if my family connects to this Van Schaick line. I know that I am connected through the several VAn Schaick marriages to the Bogardus family from the Albany area. I am researching this captain Van Schaick to see if he connects to my lines. Do you have any info. back beyond his father? FYI- William's son (same name) was also a captain of a steamboat in NYC harbor between the turn of the century and the 1930's.
