Eva
Van Valkenburgh Vernor
Eva Van Valkenburgh was born in 1748. She was the daughter of Albany carpenter Jacobus and Margarita Radcliff Van Valkenburgh.
She
married Albany innkeepers' son John Vernor in 1768.
These Vernors lived north of the Mohawk in the Saratoga
district of Albany County. Over the next long decade,
she gave birth to at least six children. Perhaps
she died before her daughter, Margaret, was adopted
by the family of her sister, Margaret Tayler.
Eva
was identified as deceased when her mother wrote
her will in March 1778. John Vernor died in 1825.
