Surnames: Van Campen, Custard
Who were Elizabeth's parents? When was she born?

Elizabeth and William were married 10 Jan 1801 ("The Descendants of Paulus and Gertrude Kusters"). The DAR Descendants Database Search records show that she was born "c. 1793" to John Van Campen and Susanna Van Gorden. This would make her 8 years old when she was married and 10 when her son Benjamin was born.(??)

Could she have been born 11 July, 1786 to Aaron Van Campen and Cathrina More (Minisink Valley DRC Records)?

Or was she born 23 July, 1784, the daughter of Isaac Van Campen and Jane Hall?

Her census ages: 1850: 67 (so born 1783), 1840: 50-59, 1830: 40-49, 1820: 26-44.
