Kind fellow contributor ATJ writes: "Chances are this is a Van Etten family member, variants Vannatta, Van Etta, etc. This is an early family in the valley, arriving at about the same time as the Van Aukens. The Capt. Johannes Van Etten (1732-1815) farm & burial ground is straight up the River Rd, Rt 209, on the Conashaugh Creek in Pike Co. PA."

There is no date information presently for this burial.

How this memorial was found: The quoted article below was a public notice intended to help locate next of kin for people buried in this cemetery, as the planned Tocks Island Dam project would have left them underwater.
