    Before 1935
    Hazella Lorraine Page and Toler Dyer White were divorced before 1935. This is based on the fact that Hazel married Dave Mitchell on or before 1935. Hazel has a second wedding date to Dave in 1945. It's possible that she was still actually married to Toler when she married Dave the first time and didn't obtain a divorce until after 1940. Tolder reported he was married in the 1940 US census.

MIlitary Service

Nicholas A van Petten served in the American Revolution circa 1778 in New York, USA. He is listed as a veteran of Col Wemple's Regt. He is also credited as serving as a Private in Colonel Cuyler's regiment in Albany County, New York Militia. I don't know if either or both or correct. I also notice that the DAR referenece (2124) indicates he was born in Guilderland and died in Schenectady which is the opposite of a few other sources claim. There is a colorful story of his arrest and confinement as a Torry sympathiser (in Old Hellerbergh
) prior to his apparent military sevice noted above.7,8,4
