Sharing this query that comes from Bill Trimble (dmpd248@gmail.com).:
"For over 40 years my family has searched for the burial place of my Great Great Grandfather without any luck whatsoever. I have searched Auglaize Cemeteries on Findagrave and my late aunt had written to someone who was with a Historical Center who informed her that he believed he was buried in a Cemetery that had been reclaimed for farm land.
My Great Great Grandfather Philip Van Blaricom born 20 October 1809 Wapakoneta, Auglaize County Ohio
Died 12 August 1840 Auglaize County. Married Rebecca Jane Waltz 20 October 1831 in Ross County Ohio. His last child, my Great Grandmother Mary Jane Van Blaricom, was born 05 September 1831 in Fryburg, Auglaize County.
I have Deed information and Probate information for Philip but no death certificate.
I am not sure of religious affiliation but if I had to guess it would have been either Catholic or Protestant Reformation. Philip Van Blaricom's family line goes back to Blaricum Holland when his ancestor came to this country he did so as Lubbert Gysberten; to the best of our knowledge he was the first one to call himself Van Blaricum.
The name I have to assume came from those who recorded entry of immigrants. Van means "from" and Blaricum was the town he came from. If I had to hazard a guess most probably they asked his name and he responded with Lubbert then Van (from) and (Blaricum) the town. So he became Lubbert Van Blaricum, who knows they might have thought they gave you a new name when you arrived in the United States."
