"Isaac VanSickle, came to Canada from the State of New Jersey, in the year 1801, and settled in Ancaster, in what is now known as the Jersey Settlement. It was then a howling wilderness; the forest stood in the primeval grandeur, with scarcely a settler within a radius of many miles. Isaac VanSickle died in July, 1830.
